COTTON 0300D9.—Nancwsanta, AUGUST 20.—The
mta goo demand for India, which has led to a decline in
for that merket to the extent of lid. and 3d. per piece,
is encouraging the belief amongst buyers of home trade and
shipping goods, that, by abstaining from operations, a farther
reduction may be effected, but the extensive contrsots still
tanning render this a slow process, and the recurrence of a
brisk demand for the oast may restore goods to recent ex-
treme rates immediately. Boyers holding orders for various
=Etats are withholding them fir lower rates, bat this la only
• manporary expedient, and has not effected the value of
penning and some other cloths, of which the production is

meats of yarn have given way slightly in price, but fine

if anything, there is more animation in some branches, and
some of the manufacturers ere busy in fluiehing op orders for
Canada. The orders in connexion with the home trade are
still rather small; but the prospects of a good autumn trade
have certainly not diminished; end whatever appesrance of
languor trade may present here and there, it Is exceptional and
not general. The reperts from the district an favourable;
the amused for best makes of finished iron Is good, and all
the warke are in as lull operation as the weatoer will
permit. The meters of email-aired chains are on strike
((about fifteen hundred of them) • this branch of trade

hood of Stourbridga, where the works are stopped in
coesequence of this proceeding, the men reentries an addl.

Ishour in this branch, boys ant rim girls being esopeoped to
it, and it is inlaid accordingly. But the strike will be most
injurious to the trade in the future, and at present those sem.
to be little prospect of a compromise. The aroma" In

weather on Tuesday was unfavourable; yesterday was a
misty muggy day, with a good deal of rain in the afternoon;
to-day it is fine, with a high barometer, so we hope the fine

we bad no great quantity of old grain *Gerbig ; prime much
the same &sleet week. We saw two samples of new barley-

homegrown grain until this morning, when we- had a Gtr
show of wheat which sold readily at our quotation.. Hardly
any barley on oder, and but few samples of new black oata,

late rates, end comieue to meet a goad inquiry. From
abroad oar arrivals are limited to Indian Cerra for which
there is en extensive demand at present moderate prices.
