1,740 casks.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrigoiug, Ocr. 17.—We
regret that we cannot yet report any improvement in the
lace trade. Nearly all branches continue quiet from an
abtience of demand, and the disposition to wait for still
lower prices. The American trade has not yet commenced.
In the hosiery warehouses a rather better inquiry has been
experienced for @hipping purposes, but the home trade re-
mains quiet, transaction@ being from band to mouth,
although yarns have become rather firmer.—Nottingkest
Journal.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Bnerwean, Ocr. 17.—The
market this morning is exceedingly flat. There is not less
business done than there was lest Thursday, but prices
are getting weaker in a marked degree. The demand is
chiefly in the finer classes of wool, the prices of which
are the best maintained. There is nothing doing in inferior
sorts, and prices are irregular. In worsted yarns spinners
show a great want of confidence in present rates, ae is
indicated in the readiness with which they are disposed to
entertain low offers. Short time is more generally resorted
to. The leading spinners of 30's super are moderately busy,
but spinners of other sorts are only very partially em-
ployed. There is no improved demand for any market.
Prices are weaker. The piece trade is exceedingly dull.
There is very little doing in any department wl.etr for
home, the Continent, or America. Manufacturers are
curtailing production to the utmost. There is no specula.
tire feeling, and prices have a downward tendency, being
lower than they have been for years.

CORN.—BIRYINOHAM, Ocr. 17.—At this day's market
there was • large supply of English wheat, which sold
slowly at about last week's rates. Barley ls. to 2s. per
quarter higher. Oats firm. Beans and peas la. 6d. to 2s.
per quarter dearer.
Baurrot., Ocr. 17.—0 n our market to-day there waa •
good attendance and better supply of English wheat, which
sold slowly at Is. toga per qr. noprovionent on the rates
of this day se'nnight. Foreign taken sparingly at a similar
ail,anoe. Malting barley held firmly, but without much
doing. Grinding scarce, and commanded extreme prices.
Oats far from active, the demand being checked by the
advance of ls. per qr. required by holders. Maize and
beans each ls. per qr. higher. Peas, Is. 6d. to 2s. per qr.
dearer.

Darius, OCr. 17.—Prices of wheat in our market to-
day have hardly kept pace with Mark-lane on Monday,
and with the markets in other parts of the country since
our lut, and we have only to report a rise of Is. per qr.
on the best qualities. We had an increased supply ; but
the demand was moderate, and 40s. must be noted as the
top price. We had a fair supply of barley, quite equal to
the demand. and prices must be quoted fully up to those
of last week ; in some instances, as much as 2s. a qr. ad-
'ranee was made on beet qualities. Oata, beans, and peas
are all Is. a qr. higher,witha better trade. Rye and retches
rather lower—say Is. a qr. Best white wheat, 38s. to
40s. ; best red ditto, 375. 6d. to 38s. Gd. ; new ditto,
366. to 38a. 6d.; barley, 345. to 48a. 6d.; beans, 22s to27s ;
pass, 21s. to 245. ; vetches, 245. to 295. ; rye, 19s. to
; 21s. fine floor, 565. to 595.; best seconds, 545. to 56e.;
oats, raft.to 30a. per qr.

MANCHESTER, Her; 17.-There was a good attendance
at our market this morning, but there was leas aisle:o4ton
to buy than during the week. Holders, nevertheless, did
not press sales, and the following advance in prices must
be noted since this day se`nnight :-English wheat, 2s.
to 3s. per quarter ; foreign, Is. per rental ; flour, 2s.
to 3s. per sack ; oats, Id. to 2d. per 451 b. • oatmeal, Is.

on offer. The tone of the inquiry was slack, at 2s. er qr.
over late rates. Barley in request at an advance of Is. to
2s. per qr. For oats and beans • rise of about la. per qr.
WY realised.
NEWBURY, Ocr. 17.-We had a large supply of wheat

CATTLE.—Beterroc, OCT. 17.—We had a large supply
of beef at our market to-day, including nearly luo animals
consigned from Ireland. The quality was above the
average, but owing to the demand not being equal to
the large supply, trade was very dull, and, except for very
best descriptions, sales were only effected with difficulty
even at the reduced rates of the past two weeks. Best
descriptions realised from GU. to 68s. per cwt., and in •
few exceptional instances 705., and middling and inferior
sorts from COL to 635. The supply of store cattle, though
not so large ea last week, numbered nearly 1,000. Trade
was slow, and a limited trade was done at reduced prices.
There was a moderate show of milch cows of good quality,
and trade was rather active, at firm prices. Very little
doing in store sheep. The show of fat mutton was less
than last week, but it was still in excess of the demand,
and trade was wily dull and slow, at shout last week's
rates ; best wethen realising from 6d. to 61d., and in one
or two instanon GO. per lb., and ewes and middling sam-
ples from 50. to lid. per lb. We had a moderate supply
of pigs from Ireland, and there was a fair trade, weighty
pigs realising from it.. 3d. to 9s. 6c1., and choice animals
from 9a. 9d. to 10e. per score. There was not much doing
in horses.

of beasts, which realised from Be. to Gs. 6d. per stone for
best quality, and for second ditto from 7e. Gd. to as., prices
being a little lower. Sheep, of which there was an excel.
lent supply, sold at from 61. d. to 7id. per lb., and coarser
sorts from 6d. to 641. lambs were to be bought at from
20s. to Zia. each, and veal was fetching from 70. to ad.
per lb. The rates for pigs were—porkets, from Ga. 9d. to
7s. the stone, and baoon pigs from 6s. 3d. to Gs. td.

ing was greater than on this day se'nnight,there being 470.

price of the best beef, Ss. Od. ; current, 81‘. to W. 6d. ;
middling and inferior, 6s. 9d. to 7s. 6d. per stone. There
