MARKETS.

PUBLIC SALES OF COLONIAL WOOL.

The circular of Messrs. Thomas Southey and Son ob.
serves : " There has been of late considerable dulness in
the manufacturing districts' and although there was not
much aacumulatioa of goods, yet the stock of wool in the
lauds ofths dealers and manufacturers wu larger than

usual, which, combined with the feverish state- of the
Money Market, the very unfavourable weather (or seed
tim-, and aspect of political affairs, caused these sales to
open very gloomily. From the commencement the attend-
ance has been good, but there was great want of spirit in
the biddings, and prices might be quoted at a reduction of
Id. upon the fine, and 2d. upon the middle and lower qua-
li•ies, of which latter the proportion offered was vet y con-
siderable. In the second week there was greater languor
in the bidding., and prices further declined, so that it was
fund necessary to with 'raw large quantities from each ca-
talogue. The weather having become mcre settled, and
money easier, a reaction took place, and prices have gradu-
ally recovered, so that they can now be quoted at a slight
improvement upon the opening prices on the middle and
lower qualities, while the finer descriptions may be consi-
dered as having almost reached the level of the July sales.
Fur some time the *rade at Bradford has been mu:11 de-
pressed, and the mills generally are not fully employed,
which will in some measure account for the greater depre-
ciation in the price of combing wool than of other kinds.
Capo wool sold well, being largely bought for foreign ac-
count, and prices did not give way more than Id. per lb.
The continental buyers, being without their usual supplies
of wool from the Black Sea, have operated to a great ex-
tent at these sales, and gave great support to prices. Their
purchases will exceed 9,000 bales. In the present year the
import of wool from India has greatly increased, and al-
though it is in much favour, yet the large quantities re-
cently placed uion the market have had great effect upon
prices. Of the finer qualiqes there was only a small pro-
portion, which sold at a reduction of id. to Id., but the
bulk consisted of middle and very inferior kinds, upo n
which the decline was lid. to 2d. on July rates.

HARDWARE.—BIRKINOHAM, Nov. 19.—Trade here
continues brisk, as last reported ; out of some two hundred
different branches there are probably not half-a-score in
which the orders are not plentiful; during the %stet the
tinmeu have reduced their discouutg, and many new lists
of advanci d prices have been issued. Workmen are still
wanted in numerous branches.

COTTON.—Livraroot, Nov. 19.—The market closed
tamely but steadily, and, compared with the currency of yes-
terday, prices of all kindstave not changed. Speculatorshave
been looking after American under sc. per lb. he sake
have boon estimated at 5,000 ba:es, including 1,000 on ape •
culatiou, and comprising, in addition to Americana, 150
Egyptians, Md. to 60.1 and 300 &trate, 21(1. to 3V.
.MANCHESTER, Nov. 19.—Wc have very little change in
the market for cotton yarns and cloth ; but there in cer-
tainly no improvement. Prices give way at a rate scarcely
appreciable from day to day, but taking the entire week
the decline is probably not less than id. per lb. on yarns,
excepting only 16's to 21's water and 40 s mule, which have
been affected by the greater comparative reduction of the
producing power from the easing of mills. Cloths arc still
in favour of buyers, but have hardly given way in the same
ratio as yarns. The following is a comparative list of prices
' in November, 1852, and the present month, showinit the
extent to which the values of a large class of yarns have
been reduced :

Any resumption of work by the mills would still further
reduce prices, and this, as well u the really decreased con-
sumption of goods in the home u well as foreign markets,
keeps purchasers out of the market for everything beyond
immediate wants.

WOOLLEN CLOTII.—LEuus, Non•. 19.—We hare
had a good market to-day ; the business has been quite of
an ',crap character at prices which range a shade lower,
io oonseqsence of wool reading at the London sales which

have just closed. There is a moderate business tieing in
the warehouses, perhaps not. quite so much as there was
.'urine the last week, and pri•:eipslly fur the home trade.
The shipping hour.s are qui.•t.

CORN.-CAMORIDOE, Nov. 19.-Wheat maintained lnet
week's prices, with a fair tulip:). A lar,e quautity of barley
offering; the best made quite as much money; second sorts
were cheaper, from the large proportion of 'hat quslity,
Beans and pen very scarce, and oat. in short *tinily.

365. to 481. Beaus, new, 461. to 48s. Oats, 245. to 28s. ;

COLCHISTEIi, Nov. 19.—At this day's market we had a fair
supply of wheat, which met a fair sale at fully last week's
prices. Making barley Is. cLeaper ; interior, ls. to 25.,
with little offering. Beans, peas, and oats must be quoted
Is. dearer than this day se'nnight.

OLouceacua, Nov. 19.—At our market to-day, millers
were cautious buyers at last week's rates, under the impres-
sion that a larger supply must operate in their favour at an
early day. Farmers were very firm, and the condition of
sa•uples complained of ; beLce the business transacted was
limited. In foreign but few sales were reported, prices
remaining unaltered. The frosty weather up to yesterday
has increased the supply of barley, and all sorts arc is per
qr. lower. Beans scarce, and their value firmly maintained.
Oats support former prices, in the face of an increased BUD-
ply. imports of the week ending Nov. 19 :—Wheat, 1,100
qrs. ; barley, 3,817 ; oats, 3,231.

GUILDFORD, Nov. 19.—We received fair but not ►arge
supplies of wheat, the yield being evidently 'ouch below an
average. The trade to-day was dull, and prices barely so
good u before. Wheat, 6b. to 66.. Barley, 355. to 435.
Oats, 255. to 30s. Beans, 48s. to 525. I'eu, 461. to 50s.
Thrman, Nov. 19.—We had a good supply of wheat
at market to-day; the trade for the finest samples firm at
full rakes; inferior parcels dull. Barley in large supply;
trade extremely dull at from Is. to d■. per qr. less money.
Oats made quite as much money. Peu and beans brisk at
last week's prices. Wheat, 40s. to 51s. per load. Barley,
395. to 48s. per. gr. Oats, 245. to 32a. Peas, 30s. to 3.51. per
load. Beans, 30s. to 38s. Tares, 40s. to 445. ltye, 235. to 255.

•
NZWCallit.l UPON-TY:4g, Nov. 19.—The. weather this
week has been everything that could be wished, of which
our farmers are availing themselves, by attending exclu-
sively to seeding operations, which are approaching com-
pletion. Potatoes sill continue to be badly spoken of.
The trade during the present week has maintained a very
firm and steady aspect, and although a slight advence has
been paid upon wheat and flour, oar millers and consu-
mers have operated cautiously. Fur the beat South min-
try new red 775. to 781. may be deemed extreme quotations,
whilst for choice new lickermarcke 771. hag been more
willingly given, superior Holstein being at the same time
saleable at 74,., and Petersburg old soft at 645. per •Ir.,
weighed 63lbs. per oushel respectively. Malting Bar-
ley has ocaacely sold so well, the large deliveries
which we are now receiving from our own growers, and
which are offered eomparatively cheaper, operating in some
measure against the sale of Norfolk and Suffolk varieties
Fine old malt has been more sought after for mixing. la
beans and peas lees atirrissg, and the same remarks will
apply to other articles. At our market this morning we
had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, but from
the coast as well as from abroad the arrivals are liberal. The
improved tone of the trade generally throughout the country
was not without its influence here, the farmers' supply being
readily taken off at rather higher prices, whilst upon choice
old Scotch an advance of fully Is. per qr. was acquired, up
to 781. having been given for such kinds, whilst the general
runs of Wished% new red weighing 60Ibs. but
made 631 be. met attention at 77s , choice New
Kiel being held at the same figure, and 765. refused.
la flour few transactions transpired, but late rates were
well sustained. In rye little stirring. Malting barley must
be written Is. per qr. cheaper, with a limited inquiry, and
grinding sorts were scarcely so much sought after as here-
tofore. Fine old malt is wanted. In beans er peas little
change. With oats we were moderately supplied, and all
descriptions sustained their value, with, however, a lees
active
coastwise,emandthen lastweek. The arrivals this week are :
2,673 qrs. ; foreign, 2,594 ; rye, coast-
I wise, 10; barley, cosatwise, 874; oats, coastwise, 2,294;
peas, foreign, 241 ; beans, foreign, 34; flour, 1,460 sacks.
Nwevricit, Nov. 19.—Our market this day was thinly
supplied with wheat by the farmers ; condition worm, than
last week. Prices were firm, and in some instances Is. per
qr. advance. Flour, fair sale but no advance in prices
could be obtained. Barley trade dull, and 2s. per qr. de-
cline ; grinding descriptions hung on hand, and may be
quoted 4s. per qr. lower. Beaus and peas very small oft-r ;
no change in value. Oats were a good sale and fair offer.
Wheat, white, 781. to 82s. per qr. ' • red, 725. to '6s. ;
barley, grinding, 365. to 38s. ; malting, 435. to 445.; beaus,
48s. to 541. ; peas, 445. to 485.; oats, 325. to 315. Fine
household flour, f.0.b., 545. per sack of 2801b5., sacks in-
cluded.

PErEnnokocom, Nov. 19.—We had a fair quantity of
wheat offering here to-day, and last week's prices were
readily made, and in some instances au advance of Is. per
qr. was given. A la•ge supply of barley, and all but the
best descriptions ls. to 2s per qr. lower. A good supply of
oats, wl.ieh could be bought at Is. per qr. less money. No
alteration in the value of beans.
READING, Nov. 19.—Our wheat market today shows a
moderate supply; sellers are asking extreme prices, end,
notwithstanding the improved condition in which the wheat
comes to hand, buyers are very shy ; hence a heavy, but not
a cheaper market. Best barley found a sale at fully late
prices. Other qualities easier to buy Beans and peas
unaltered in value. Oats more in supply, and scarcely so
high h pries

II unarm, Nov. 19.—The supply of wheat at to-day's
market is liberal ; of other grain moterate. The best dry
miller's wheat found a ready sale at Is. to 2'. per qr. over
last week's prices. Oats, barley, beans, and Iteas about the
same as before. Prices to the growers:—Wheat, old, 60s.
to 745. per qr.; new, 665. to 760. Oats, 13d. to lid. per
stone. Beans, 46e. to 5.55. per qr.
WORCESTZII, Nov. 19.—There was a good supply of
English wheat at market to-dac, and the tr ide rub d dull,
but no reduction was submitted to. Barley only taken in
retail, at Is. per quarter below former prices. Some quen
tity of oats changed bands at fid. to Is. per qr. under the
rates of this day se•nnight. Bums more plentiful, but no
lower.

YOWL, Nov. 19.—There is a small show of wheat at our
market to-day, which sells readily at an advunce; of 2s. per
qr. Barley in fair supply, and Is. per qr. lower. Beans
and oats without alteration.

Kiiii.CALuy, Nov. 19.—We bad sharp frost on Wednes-
day and Thursday—since then it has been fresh again. The
weather continues favourable for w►eat sowing on all mode•
rattly dry leads; the Came clays, however, cannot yet be
touched. At our country markets this week, the quantity
of grain offering was particularly small for the sealoa of the
year—so much so that the demand fur local consumption
takes off almost all that off.rs; attempts are made to buy on
lower terms, but they prove fruitless. Here, to-day, we
have still to report small supplies of all kinds of grain.
Sales quick for all sorts, and the prices of lan week freely
'mid. Wheat, old, 245. to Ste. per qr. ; new, 50a. to 84s.
Barley, new, 293. to 425. Oats, new, 24a. to 30s. Oatmeal,
per bag of 280163., 41s. to 42e.
- -

DUBLIN, Nov. 18.—At our corn-market to-day every
description of home grain of good quality fully supported
the currienees of lest Tuesday, but inferior oats and barley,
of which there was a considerable proportion, met a very
slow sale, and many samples remained unsold. White
wheat, 38i. 6d. to 421. ; red ditto, atis. to 405.; barley, 16e.
to 205.; bee., 15s. to 16s. ; oats, white, 13s. 6d. to 15s. 6d. ;
ditto tawny, 12s. to 141.; rapeseed, 275. 6d. to 293. 6d. ; oat-
meal, 14s. 6d. to 165.; bakers' Hour, 225. to 265.; Indian
corn, pea 4801ba., 40a. to 455. 6d.
WATERFORD, Nov. 19.—We have no arrivals to report
from abroad since this day ee'ennight, and coastwise only a
few sacks of flour. Supplies of home-grown grain during
the same period have been but moderate, the favourable
change in the weather having kept farmers busily employed
in field work. Our market this week has been characterised
I by great firmness, and both millers and dealers have shown
more disposition to purchase. At to day's market there
was rather a larger show of wheat, for which farmers
readily obtained an advance 68. to Is. per barrel.
Oats met a steady inquiry at the full quotations of Satur-
day last. For foreign wheat we have had a moderate de-
mand at late rates ; and Indian corn of prime quality baa
been in improved request, with the turn of prices in favour
of tellers. Secondary desetiptions are quite neglected.
Flour unaltered in value. Imports this week :—Flour. 60
sacks. Exports this week:—Wheat, 20 barrels; barley,
14,496; cats, 13,992 ; flour, 1,849 sacks; oatmeal, 625 cuts.
