MARKETS.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—NorrntoaAr, SEPT. 5.—
The past has been a very quiet week at the lace ware-
houses, and until more encouraging commercial advice. are
received from America, there will not be a substantial or
permanent improvement in our staple trade. For hosiery
articles the shipping trade is becoming depressed, no new
orders having been received. There is, however, a better
feeling in the home trade, and rather more orders have
been received, but many houses are still ordering from
hand to mouth.—Nottinghasa Journal.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADTORD, SEPT. &
There is no new feature to report in the wool trade. The
transactions of buyers are only on a limited scale, and
such as to cover their requirements for a short time. There
is thus only • quiet trade, but with • steady tone. Prices
are on the whole much the same as last week, perhaps in
some eases slightly tending in favour of the sellers. There
is no material change in worsted yarns. The order. given
are few and small in quantity. Some spinners are well
engaged upon orders previously received. There is •
slight improvement In the demand for low priced super
30's. The demand for other sorts of yarns remains about
the same as last week, and rather better than on Monday.
The general tone of the piece market continues quiet. A
fair business has been done in the warehouses on the part
of the home merchants. The shipping merchants hold aloof
from business, and very few speculative orders have been
placed in plain goods. The demand for dark-ground
styles in fancies is now rapidly drawing to • close. Until
manufacturers have completed their novelties for the next
season much business cannot be looked for in this branch.
Prices are not higher than last week. A telegram received
from the Bristol wool fair, which in times of brisk trade
and dear wool is looked to with interest, reports that yes-
terday the business done was only slight ; that growers
of wool were firm in the maintenance of prices ; that
today there was about the same amount of business done,
and that sellers were rather more anxious to realise.

CORN.—Blusrror., SEPT. s.—On our market to-day
English wheat was in fair supply, and sold pretty
freely at about last week's prices. Notwithstanding large
arrivals of foreign the trade was very firm at an advance
of folly la. per qr. Malting barley inquired for ; • parcel
of ordinary Wiltshire sold at 455. per imperial qr. Grind-
ing slow, without change in value. Oats in good request,
at rather lower prices, fine white realising 30.. to 31s. per
2301 b. ; tawny, 255. 6d. to 260. ; black, 245. to Ms. 9d. per
3041 b. Maine dull, and values the turn cheaper. Beans
quiet.

131111TEGTIAW, SEPT. s.—At this day's market Phan
was a very short supply of English, which sold at an
advance of Is. so 2s. per quarter. Foreign Is. dearer.
Barley Is. per quarter lower. Oata unaltered. Beane and
peas la. per quarter cheaper.
Devizes, Sum s.—Wheat was in small supply to-day,
but there was • brisk demand at Is. per qr. advance upon
kit week's prices, and at this advance nearly every lot was
cleared. New wheat still comes to market very thin, and
complaints are heard from all quarters of the deficiency of
the yield. Oats, beans, and peas were in small supply,
and sold at rather more money. Best white wheat, Ms. Gd.
to 35a. ; best rod ditto, 335. to 35e. ; new ditto, 325. to
335. 6d. ; barley, 345. to 40a. ; beans, 22a. to 275. ;

of new wheat at market to-day. An advance of 21. per
qr. was paid for fine samples, and other kinds were dearer.
Barley for grinding fully as dear. New barley made 40s.
to 45.. per qr. Very little variation in other grain.
