MARKETS.

HARDWARE. —BIRM INGHAM, Stn. I.—The trade of
this town continues dull ; there were some symptoms of
its rallying in the noun of last week, but these have
Cadaway, and the orders given out the last few days
have been small ; in sonic branches the men are not
:etamore than four days, and stocks have slightly in-
The ironmongers all over the country are re-
fraining from buying at present, though there is a general
admission that there is a tolerable certainty of • good
trade in the autumn. The export trade has not yet shown
much sign of improvement ; there were a few orders given
out on account of it in the middle of last week, but these
have again dropped off, the merchants being evidently in-
disposed to do much at present, except as to America : to
that quarter business is tolerably good. There are also a
few orders in on socount of Canada, and still more to
Australia The reports from the district of South Staf-
fordshire and East Woronnershire are of • more satisfac-
tory character as regards the manufacturing trades, but
even them businen is still below the average.

OOTTON.—ldviarom, Sen. I.—The demand to-day
has been very limited, and the market has been dull,
prices in some instances being rather easier. Sales to-day

COTTON GOODS.—lLadvelietrree, Herr. 1. —No
impetus appears to have been given to business in cotton
yarn and cloth by the reductions which have been made in
discounts, and we have had • week if dulness mid depres-
sion. The impression that cotton ought to be much lower
in price not only stops speculation, but even paralyses
enterprise. In the ten days ending about • fortnight ago,
large spinners and manufacturers, men of suppoeed
wealth, in the towns and neighbourhoods of Blackburn and
Burnley, whose mills contain something like 6,000 looms,
stopped payment. Other manufacturers are known to
have lost large sums out of surplus capital from the same
cause—the losses upon cotton purchased to Arrive. Ex-
porters of cotton goods have also this year dropped large
sums owing to the great fall in prices. Many people
see no reason, with the heavy crops of cotton expected
from various parts of the world, why the price should
not go down to something like normal rates prevailing
before the cotton famine, and hence an almost uni-
versal disposition to caution amongst all classes of trades.
The business in yarns has been very sluggish under these
circumstances. Mule yarn for India has declined about
id. per lb. this week, with little business. Throstle yarn,
bundle, and warp, is id. to id. per lb. down, anal Black-
burn 32's are id. cheaper than on Tuesday last. The finer
counts of Bolton yarns made from Egyptian cotton are
to 4d. per lb. cheaper than a fortnight ago. Counts of
doubled yarns, from Oil's to 120's, have given way during
the week nearly in the same proportion, while some of the
higher counts are steady. Cloths have not given way to
au equal extent, Lut the market has been flat. Printers
are very fist, and somewhat weaker. Some makes of
'Linings, including fine, have been in some request ; but
in others some concessions of a reasonable character would
be made to induce purchases, but the offers have mostly
been too low to command attention. The heavier and
coarser cloths are moved off slowly, and both in cloth end
yarn the production appears to be somewhat in incase of
the demand.
WOOLLEN.—Lertn, Parr. I.—The markets ens
morning have not presented a very animated appearance,
although we have to note the attendance of a few buyers
from Bradford and Manchester, in addition to the usual
quantum of Leeds merchants. The amount of business
transacted has not been of a very satisfactory character,
and the parcels which have changed hands have been
limited in amount. A few small parcels of coatings and
dark nieltons of medium and better class prices have been
transferred in the Coloured Hall ; 60-inch tweeds, tape-
cially in fine qualities, have met with • moderate tile.
The demand for heavy goods in the White Market has hot
been characterised by any great amount of alteration. . A
few tolerably good transactions have taken place in wit-
neys and beavers, both in plain and fancy colours. White
hanlists have been in pretty good request, though scene
decline may perhaps be said to have taken place in this
department. There has not been any alteration in prices.

CORN.—CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. I.—The wheat trade was
firm at last week's micas ; the weather has been very un-
settled during the week. Wheat, new, 44a. to 465.; old,
Via. Barley, 345. to 36g. Oats, 22.. egL to 2135. ed. Beaus,
445. to 46..

CAELISLE, SEPT. 1.-There was a very small supply of
all kinds of grain at our market to-day, many farmers
being engaged with the harvest. There was a fair de-
mand for wheat at barely last week's prices. New cats
realised last week's rates ; old were 3d. higher. Barley
waa a little down. Prices :-Wheat, white, old, 18s. to
20s. Gd. ; red, 17s. Dil..to 19s. Barley, new, 14s. to 14s. Gd.;
ditto old, 14s. to 14s. Gd. ; oats, potato, new, 10e. Gd. to
lls. 6d. ; ditto old, Ile. 6d. to c2a. 3d. per Carlisle buslieL
Flour, ls. 10d. to 2a. 2d. ; oatmeal, 2a. 2d. to 2a. 4a. ; lye-
meal, le. 4d. ; bsrleymeal, Is. 6d. per stone. Frequent
showers have retarded the harvest in Cumberland. The
cutting has made only slow progrees, and in housing very
little has been done. Barley proves fully an average, and
wheat will be nearly an average yield ; but much yet de-
pends cn the season.
COLCHESTER, SEPT. 1.-A very short supply of wheat ;
small of barley ; also of other grain. The former met a
fair sale at an advance from la. to 2a., whilst barley re-
ceded in value from Is. to 24. Beans and peas were ob-
tained at prime in fairoar of the purchaser.
HERTFORD, SETT. 1.-A a supply of new wheat,
but the greaterpari lit in • erent condition, and not I
prime quality. Very little demand for either new or old,
and prices remain as last week. Scarcely anything doing
in spring corn ; a few new oats showing, weight fair, and
yield well spoken of. Wheat, rid, per load, 325. to 34e. ;
fine 35a. ; whit*, 33a. to 35a. fine, :36e.; new, 26e. to 30s.
Barley. grinding, per qr., 30.. to 38s. Oats. coarse, per

Lsicestua, SEPT. 1.-Oar market was well supplied
with wheat to-day, and old sorts were very little lower ;
new receded in value 2s. per quarter. New white, 475. to
60s. ; new red, 43a. to 416. ; old white, 50s. to 53a. ; old
red, 465. to 50e. per 36 stone. Of malting barley the
supply was middling, and prime were as last week, 38e. to
40e. per qr. ; grinding sold at 33. to 34e. per 30 stone.
Oats were without material change ; new, 24.. to 29a. ,•
old, 30s. to 335. iier24'stone. There was a slow demand
for buns, and prices were rather low-50s. to 53a. per 38
stone. Fine flour, 40a. ; seconds, 37e. to 38a. per 20 stone.
NEWCAITILE-OPOR-TTEZ, SUM. L -We lad a abort sup-
ply of wheat from the country this morning, which sold
readily at last Saturday's rates. New Norfolk red wheat
was la. per qr. dearer, and the aisgpty inadequate to the
requirements of the trade ; old in better request, and
likely to be higher. Flom more firmly held. Barley,
beans, and peas mattered. Oats quiet. The arrivals
