MARKETS.

WOOL, OIL, AND DYEWOODS.—Ltviarciox, Sept.
1.—Wool: Since our last monthly circular, she accounts
from the East have been more satisfactory, the prospect of
continued peace has, in a degree, restored confidence, and
altogether changed the tone of the Wool market. It is
agreeable to observe, that though the agitation has not
quite ceased, tke anxiety in the public mind is considerably
abated, so that the channels of commerce are freely opening,
and the improvement in the demand for Wool is visible
through all branches of the trade. Manufacturers gene-
rally are very busy, there being no scarcity of orders ; and
as stocks in their hands are very much reduced, many Lave
come into the market and purchsaid freely, not-
withstanding the large quantity introduce': at the recent
London sales. The imports for the month are to a fair ex-
tent ; but the quantity offering is not so great as it would
' have been, in consequence of the bulk of arrivals being re-
served her the public sales to be held this month. The
transactions here have been all by private contract, but the
prices obtained were at extreme rat s, and the market
closes with an upward tendency. About 800 bags of long-
washed Oporto fleece were taken for consumption, chit fly
at our highest quotations, showing that this class is ad-
vancing into repute. Some arrivals of Iceland sold imme-
diately on latding at lld. per lb.; and shout WO bags, to
come forward, are reported at the same figure. More
inquiry has existed for black Lisbon Wools, and
fair quantity has been sold. Most of the late imports
of Egyptian are not so choice, and sales limited. The
demand for Rusaian Fleece and Lambs is languid ;
holders are firm at previous prices. Greasy Oporto not
sought after; but a little doing in yellow at.d lambs. A
few 'inquiries for Long Bosnia and Serria In _Scutati
Lambs and Scopia fleece sales have been made to a fair
extent. The demand for Mogador keeps good ; but Bar-
bary washed, and in the grease, is difficult to move. East
India would readily find buyers, none offering by private
treaty. For Grey Crimea the market is dull, though one
large parcel has changed hands. A parcel of Alpaca has
been cleared ; the pri -u has not traaspired. For the better
classes of Entre Rios and Buenos Ayres more inquiry is
apparent. Good Peruvian would sell; little doiag for want
of stock. There is a watt of supply of Australian
Wool to meet the requirements of consumers, who would
operate largely. Italian Fleece in fair request but Skin
neglected. Turkey Wools are more firmly held. Scotch—
More excitement is evinced for these Wools than for some-
time: Cheviot is taken moderately at extreme rates ; several
hundred bags of Laid Highland have been sold at ad-
vanced quotations; Cross is in moderate request ; White
Highland sells quickly, and good lots will bring
• high price. In Scotland farmers are looking for
fur still higher value, and as they hold stiffly, there is no
probability of lower rates. English and Irish—The market
has again rallied, and the transactions are more frequent,
at en advance of Id. per lb. ; the farmers in the country
are more difficult to deal with, and dealers find that to sell at
present value, they cannot replace on favourable terms.
Skin Wools are now in stock, and buyers plentiful. Oil :
The business in Olive Oil has been good, conrificring the
high pricer ; the whole of the sales are to the trade ; some
descriptions are rather dearer, and present quotations are
likely to be maintained. Dyewoods : the trade only pur-
chase for immediate use, therefore no change of moment is
recorded, the prevent value being low.—From Messrs.
Joseph Robinson and Co.'s Circular.

COTTON.—Lintimot,, Atm UST 31.—Tbe market closed
with steadiness, at previous prices The sales comp.ise
600 •
7,000 bales, including about 6,000 Americans, 1,000 for ex-
port, and 1,000 on specs. 4ition. 160 Perlman and Maran-
hams, at Gad. to 9d. ; 400 ErVPtiaa at 6i 4. to 12d.

CORN.—Buevos, Aug. 31.—We have been tolerably I
well supplied with Wheat today, and a fair business was
&tie a. 2e. per qr. advance over last Monday's prices. The
new Wheat showing commanded Is. per qr. over the price
of old. Wheat, old, red, 40s. to 58s. ; white, 595. to Otis. ;
new, red, 575. to 59. ; white, 60s. to 625.
Hutt., Aug. 30.—We have to repoet a week of broken
and unseasonable weather, with heavy constant rein, on
Friday and Saturday; an interruption has thus occurred
to harvest operations, and anxiety awakened as to
the result; in consequence, excitement has been general iu
all the leading market', and our own has participated, an
almost daily large business having taken place for export to
France and Holland, on specula•ion, and Pi dealers. An
advance of fully 4 per qr. on all descriptions of Wheat
has been established, and a good business done. Though at-
tended with less excitement, spring Corn has partaken of the
I improved ,one in the trade, and a moderate advance realised.
Our farmers brought a good supply of Wheat for this day's
market, but were unwilling sellers except at an advance of
4s. per qr., and this advance millers and dealers, though
generally only low in stock, were not willing to give and in
consequence only a limited business resulted at an advance
of 2s. to 3s. per qr. upon last Tuesday's rate. Two or three
samples of new \Vheat were shown, condition and weight
good ; we only heard of one sale at 60s. per qr. The ac-
counts as to yield were very unsatisfactory, and from the

bent reports we ran gather it tax ms quite clear the clop
thrsughout this important district. Ms..' he a'n'iderahlY

that r. rats of Potatoes were not wore. to day•
An extended inquiry for forsignt Wheat and an advance
upon teat w. t k'. priers fulfil nisantaiLtd; g, el fresh Wl.c ate
are not plentiful. Barley ~f hest quality in 1.. dearer, and
an eager desire fur anythii g appr-eachirg malting -miff, ;
grinding e'en in improved de mard at ti .e turn against
buyers. Beans about I*. clearer, and very taw off. ieg
o.d. 6d. to le dearer. Very trw Peas offering, and god
quality inquired for on Continental orders. !radian Co nit
held fur more n oney ; speculatirs offm fir Dui, 2Se. to 295.
Only a very limited busily', passing in the Linseed market,
the bulk of arrivals still going to crushers. The Cake
market is well supported by a consumptive demand. There
are un transactions in Rapeseed beyond a few cotchels cf
new English, which sell at about 271. per last. Cakes,
from scarcity, fetch high prices, and are in demand. Sales
of Bones ore made from ship at 97e. 6d. Imports trim
Aug. 20th to Aug. 26th :—Wheat, 6,729 qrs. ; Barley,
16,930; Oats, 216; Linseed, 3,493; Bones, 170 tons.

STOCILTON•ON•TEES, Aug. 31.—The weather is shower 3
and unsettled. For the past week we have pretty liberal
arrivals et grain from the coast. At this morning's market
we had an unusually large supply of Wheat from the grow-
ers, for which a good steady demand wee experienced at an
advance of 4s. per qr. on last week's currency. Foreign
IMP held for a similar advance, which buyers resisted. The
business transacted was at an improvement of 3s. per qr. on
last week's prices. Beans met a steady sale at full prices.
Oats in good ri quest and brought 61. per qr. more money.
The price of Flour is advanced to 475. per sack. Imports :
Wheat, coastwise, 1,020 qrs.; Barley, coastwise, 750; Oats,
coastwise, 120.
DUBLIN, At OUBT 30.—There was rather an exalted
market at our Corn Exchange to-day of foreign wheat and
Indian corn, in consequence of *ome speculative inquiries
from England, and for the former article an advance of
Is. 6d. was realised, but we cau scarcely note any alteration
in the value of home-grown grain. New beta was in a few
instances a trifle dearer. White wheat, 265. to 325.; red
ditto. 2.55. to 30s. ; here, new, 12s. fel. to 13s. 6d ; oats,
old, lls. to 14s. ; oats, new white, Ils. to 12s. ; ditto tawny,
10s. tolls. ; rapeseed, new, 245. to 285.; oatmeal, lls. to
135.; bakers' flour, 16s. to 20s. ; Indian corn, 2115. to 31s.
per Maps.

CATTLE.—Rouronn, Aug. 31.—We Ind a fair quan-
tity of all kinds of stock at tosday's market, with a stood
sale at quite as much money as last week. Beef, 3s. 4d. to
4s. Bd. ; Mutton, 3s. 10d. to ss. Lamb, 4s. to ss. ; Veal,
3s. 64. to 4s. Gd. ; Pork, 4s, to 4s Bd.

HOPS.—Wokcsants, AUT.. 30.—Our reports on Satur-
day spoke of the clean grounds as having made satisfactory
progress, but the blighted districts had not come forward,
and some doubt was expressed whether or not the late bur
on this description of bine would grow out. The duty was
weakly supported at 14,000/.
MAIDSTONE DlSTRlCT.—Previous to the heavy reins
and severe gales of Thursday last the hops generally
through; ut the district were mending visibly; but they
have since sustained much damage, large numbers of poles
being blown down, hnecht s torn from the bine, and whole
bills uprooted and d; strayed, while there which have cs-
ca:;ed worse injury have been greatly discoloured, and are
ve:y small. Nothing but hot sunshine w;11 now avail
to bring forward either quantity or quality. Yesterday
Monday; was a fine day.—South-R' s.ertt Grtzette.—From
the other hop districts in the neighbourhood the accounts
arc similar.
