NOTTINGHAM TRADE.

Lacx.—What with our fair, and what with the Turkish
panic, net to mention the further advance in the rate of
discount as formerly anticipated, our trade report this
week presents no improvement on last week's announce
ment, and trade indeed is almost at a stand still. We are,
therefore, obliged once more to offer a flat contradiction to
the statements put forth in Monday's T`inses, in which
there is not one word of truth. There are, in fact, no
buyers in our market. The factories and warehouses
during the fair are also shut half the day for holiday
reasons, and production, in consequence, is considerably
limited. As for the Americans, whom the Tinges conjures
up in such abundance amongst our warehouses, it is not
expected that they will reach us till towards the end of the
month ; and in truth, knowing the position in which our
manufacturers are placed, and being a rapacious descrip-
tion of purchasers, It is well enough understood that they
are deliberately holding off, in the expectation of being
able to run down our prices. Whilst, therefore, much is
not to be anticipated from this source for the improvement
of busineu ; the ries in cotton and silk will, it is expected,
preclude our manufscturers from giving way, and any
further advance will inevitably put a stop to speculative
production, and limit manufacturing to the actual state of
the demand.

floniony continues rather more prosperous, at all set nts
in better condition, than the lace branch. Though affected
by the prevailing dulness however, there is no manifestation
, of despondency either on the part of the manufacturers or
I operatives. Prices remain firm, and the future is looked
forward to with unabated confidence. The hands also are
firm though respectful, moderate, and reasonable in their
demands. To-day a deputation from the brancli waited
upon the leading houses, and gave very considerable grati-
fication by the sensible and reasonable tone they have a/-
sum:S.—Notts Guardian.

COTTON.—Livaeirooe, OM 7.—The threatened, and
perhaps we might say, proirable immediate war between
Russia and Turkey has had no further depressing effect on
oar cotton market, the quotations of last week remaining
as printed in our circular of Friday last. Already we had
anticipated so much, our fears and apprehensions having
been continued for so long a period of tune that price., by
way of precaution, bad gradually declined to meet the
p.aitaon in which we now find ourselves placed. Accord-
' rugly, when the declaration of war was telegraphed from
London, its effect upon our market was not traceable in any
further reduction of prices. No doubt speculative invest-
ments have been checked, and as the season for export has
nearly closed, the delisted has been very much confined to
buying (or the immediate and praising wants of consumers.
Very judiciously, as it appears to us, the trade have allowed
their stocks to sink to a low ebb, and they can now pur-
chase at rates which appear to be pretty well settled.
Both yesterday and no Wednesday there has been lees
pressing to sell, and altogether the market has had a steady
appearance. The last advice' from the United States have
not been without their strengthening effects. From all
quarters doubts are thrown upon the expectation of a large
crop, the universal opinion by these 'deices being this? it
will not equal in quantity the produce of last year. This
important question, however, roust for the present rest in
the uncertainty which necessarily attends a subject not
ascertainable. All we can say is, that the promise is not
so favourable as we had hoped for, and can scarcely, under
any circumstances, prove an extensively large crop. A
email public sale of Sea bland offered yesterday found but
little favour with the buyers, only about 40 bags harelip
been sold at easy prices, the quality, however, was not very
attractive. The committee of brokers place lair Uplands',
at GO., Mobile GPI., and Orleans at Gill. 3,280 American and
170 Surat are reported to have hewn taken on speculation :
and 730 American, 810 Surat, and 30 Perlman for export.
Sales for the week 36,170 bales.

WOOL.—Linne, Ocr. 7.—There hos but little doing
Moostoing wools this week, and prices are merely nominal;

if at all altered it is in favour of buyers. In foreign moots
theta is no alteration to note.

CORN.—CHELYSTORD, OCT. 7 —We had en increased
supply of wheat this day at market, but prices were the
same as last week. The market, however, was slow at the
The price of barley sod spring corn generally was
fully maintained.

LINCOLN, Om 7.—We had a liberal supply of wheat at
our market to-day. At the commencement farmers asked
more mammy, which checked business, but ultimately a fair
trade was done at Is. decline, the market eh sing dull.
Good barley maintained former rates. A few oats were
tf.red, for which extreme rates were demanded. Wheat,
red, 68s. to 715.; white, 755. to 775.; old, 78s. Barley,
grinding, 31s. to 33a. ; malting, 42s Oats, 235. to 28s.
LIVEKPOOL, Orr. 7.—The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise /since Tuesday have been quite insignificant.
From foreign ports we have only received 2,744 quarters
wheat, 872 sacks, and 2,415 barrels flour. The exports in
the same time comprise 3,005 quarters wheat, 700 quarters
Indian corn, 200 loads oatmeal, 2,416 sacks and 7,398 bar-
rels flour. The trade has been quiet during the past two
days, and rather lower for dour, of which some quantity
has been pressed for sale for cash. Wheat, however, has
fully maintained its value in the sales made. The weather
has been extremely wet, and most unfavourable for the
completion of the h in the north of England and in
Scotland. At this day's market there was only • small
attendance of the town and country trade, who showed
little disposition to make purchases, and • limited business
resulted in wheat and flour, prices remaining nominaliy as
on Tuesday, although bad buyers appeared holders of
parcels on the quay would willingly have made some con-
cession to effect sales. Oats and oatmeal met with a retail
sale at late rates. Barley and beans were in fair request at
the extreme rates of Tuesday. Indian cern was neglected,
and the turn in favour of the buyer for both thatiug car-
goes and parcels in store. Arrivals into Liverpool from the
4th Oct Awe to the 6th October, inclusive:—Wheat, 2.744
qrs.; barley, lr ; oat., 3.54; beans, 60; peas, 6; oatmeal,
438 sacks; flour, 1,092 sacks, 2,415 barrels. Exports from
Ireland :—Wheat, 2,676 qn. ; Indian corn, 532 ; flour,
1,475 sacks, 3,422 barrels.

Was.nrlELD, Ocr. 7.—Our supply of wheat is less than
last week, and unusually small fur the season, the greater
portion being of the new crop, and generally in wretched
condition, sales are made at various prices, from 63.. to 725.
per qr. ; we have more inquiry for floe Iresh old at late
rates. Barley is offering more plentifully, and recedes in
value, especially for secondary quslities. Oats and Shell.
ing fully as dear. Beans very scarce, an.i still advance in
price. No alteration in other articles. Imports during the
week :—Wheat, 9,188 qrs. ; barley, 1,875 ; oats, 336 ; beans,
333; peas 32; Shelling, 13.3 loads.
