MARIaT&

OOTTON.—Lxvziroot,, Ocr. 4.—A good business has
been dune to-day with a very 6rm market. The ales are
10,000 Wee—including 8,020 American, 30. to Btd. ; 1,600
Surat, 31d. to 44d. ; 300 Egyptian, aid. to 10d. ; 120 Per-
taro, nil. to Ad. ; and 00 Mamnbam, Bi4l.—of which 3,000
are for speculation and export. The week's import is 4,066

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADTORD, Ocr. 4.—Very
little wool has clasn,,,ed hands during the week in any
department of the trade. Yvery one sees in reporting wool
quiet, but firm. A fair businsia, no doubt, is doing, as in-
deed must be the case when the consumption is so con-
siderable, but lees wool sold than two or three weeks back,
spinners having, as we said last week, supplied their im-
mediate wants. Hogs end withers may be quoted 0
la 10d . and ls. Bd. respectively, at which prices they us
very firm. In worsted yarns, spinners are still busy for
export, and a few late Russian orders are yet going out, but
the home consumption is languid. Buyers and sellers are
both unwilling to concede anything, the former refuse to
give the high price of yarn, except where they are obliged,
and the latter are unable to take less, so long as wool con-
tinues (as it appears likely to do) at its present high price.
There is no buoyancy in the piece market to-day. Except
for operations of the American houses, which do something
to prop up the market, things would be exceedingly heavy.
Neither the foreign nor the home buyers show. the least
activity.

CORN.-Ennwilionan, °crop= 4.-Although we have
had during the last fortnight frequent heavy rains, the
month just expired has been on the whole much
more favourable for harvest work than the previous
on% and a considerable portion of the corn is secured ;
little of ii however in condition fur thrashing at present.
So far, the yield of wheat, barley, and oats, in this neigh-
bourhood Ii well reported of ; but we cannot think that this
will prom to be the case with the late wheat. In the early
part of the month wheat declined about 4s. per qr., of
which fully 2s were subsequently recovered, owing to the
weather becoming less favourable, aid so little new wheat
being brought to market. This advance has taken place
notwithstanding the imports of foreign wheat have
doubled those of the corresponding period last
rear. Large as the American supplies have
they do not so far this year nearly
those from Prussia. It was expected that the Plumb
export duty this month would have become prohibitory
from their principal corn skipping ports, but no alteration
i occurred ; consequently we May look forward to a Continu-
ance of the supply from France, sod to • girder extent
than hitherto. Potatoes in most of the Southern aud Mid-
land counties of England go worm and worse, and the crop
is them districts may almost be considered lost as bonnie
food. Our present prices for wheat are, English whiter
old, Bs. to 0616 d. ; new, 6s. &L to Bs. ; red, o 7s. Bd. to
Bs. ; Dew, 6s. Bd. to is. &L ; American, 71. .to
Ohirka, 7s, 2d. to 7s. &L ; Danubian, to 7e., pm
62 lbs. at Birmirigharn. It will be seen that the stock of
wheat at Glouoester has greatly increased. The crop of
Mel,/ Las proved a very large one, but the condition mostly
indifferent, and in many instances the quality is much dete.
riomted by the weather. Au advance of La to 2s. per qr.
has taken place on most deocriptions. Danish barley sells
at 36e. to 38e. ; Disk, 33e. to Me. ; Taganrog,
330. to 3. ; lbraila, 28s. to Va., all per 3.92115., here.
Gate also prove to be the largest orop. which has been grown
for many years, and the beet in quality, except where in-
jured by the weather. New have. declined about 2s. per
at
quarter, whilst the value of old is nearly, or quite, main-
Mimed. English old cats are selling
alls. to 36e. ; new, 265.
to 28a ; Irish old grey, 28a. ; new, Mia 6d. to 265. &I ; old
white, 28e. to 30s. (no new white Irish have yet arrived) ;
old Dutch, 32a per 31211 e. at Birmingham. Beaus have fur-
ther advanced Is. to 2s. perquarter; no new English have
yet appeared at market, the crop hem( mostly still hi the
tielda. The old are worth 20a to 21s. ; French, 17s. to 18s.;

money than last week. Barley, oats, and beans also at

- - • -

NZWIIIIILY, Oct. 4.—The supply of wheat this day only
moderate, for which there was a good consumptive demand
at an advance of from ls. to fia. per qr. on both old and
new, the latter giving strong evidence of its deficiency both
as regards quantity and quality. An increased supply of
barley which led to a reduction of from le. to 2a. per qr.
Oata, beans, and pew without alteration.
.

liAncaurzn, Oc.r. 4.—Each flour has met a fair con-
sumptive inquiry since last Thursday, at improved rates.
At oar market this morning English wheat sold readily at
an advance of 3. per qr., and foreign commanded an m-
provement of 4d. per b i
heL Back flour in moderate re-
sod Is. dearer. Oats and oatmeal remain without
sauzige. alteration. Indian corn 6d. per qr. dearer, and in other
no change.

1711131D011, OCT. 4.—The supply is short of wheat and
.prang corn ; parcels of old wheat and new in fair condition,
obtain 2a. per qr. more than last week, and oats are L. per
qr. higher.

Warr.nrottn, OCT. 3.—We have had scanty supplies of
homegrown grain since Saturday, but liberal arrivals of
