MARKETS.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Beaoronn, Ocr. 17.—We
cannot report any improvement in the wool market. Opc.•
rations are ou a limited scale. Orders being scarce, buyers
need but little, and buy only what they need. Sellers,
on the other haled, in most instances prefer to hold rather
than sell at prices at which they know they cannot replace
their stocks. It cannot be said that prices are gencrally
lower, but instances are wanting where some renews ohs
lure.been made. Stocks are considerable in some bands,
but generally not a:connive. In nods and shorts there is
nut quite so good a &turned, but there are no accumulated
stocks, nor ore lower rates acceded to. The deinnud iu
yarns for export is slack, and comparatively few orders are
given out. The export of yarns to Ramis is just clusicg
for the season, and some spinners are doing lees rather
than 'pin into stock. The home consumption is far from
brisk, and, as a whole, spinners have uo closeriug prospect
before them. There is no change in prices ; probably, if a
slight ooecasesion were made orders might be more abun-
dant. Should yarns recede in price, short time working
would be adopted to avoid leas. There has beim soother
dull market to-day. Manufacturers are fast curtailing
their production, being unable to sell at priometo cover
cast. Many looms are standing. Orders for the home•
trade are almost nil. Fancy geode, oommou to this market,
are largely manufactured in other district., and iminufac-
tutors are oonaequently feeling the competition severely.

0011N.—BlablINGHAn, Oct. 18.—At Gloucester market,
on the 13th inst., wheat was fully as dear ; at Woreesterearce
day the turn was in favour of the buyers. Barley rid. to la.
per quarter higher. Old oats rather dearer ; new unaltered.
Beans and peas both held for more money. During the pre-
sent week, few tiansactions in wheat are reported, and the
price of all kinds nominally the erne. Barley scarce and
quite as dear. Oats a slow sale. Beans tending upwards.
Peas fully maintain their value. At Wolverhamptoe,
yesterday, there was an increased supply of wheat ; trade
dull at previous currency. At this days market there was
a short supply of wheat from the fanners, and fine oil sold
slowly at an advance of ls. to 26. per quarter, whilst new
MU fully as much lower. Barley of all kinds was fully lea.
per quarter higher. Oats sold Jowly at barely previous
setae, except fine old, which are scarce. Beans la. higher.
Peas tending upwards.
Derma% Oct. 18.—We had a good supply of wheat, the
water part of which wax new, sod very rough and damp.
indeed meat of it quite unlit for millers purposes ; the
trade was very dull and heavy, except for the very best
qualities, whichobtained last week's prices ; all other quite
unsaleable except for seeiL The lest new red reached Me a
sank, soil the beat old red ilia. There was a fair supply of
barley, the greater portion of which was very damp ; good
barks; fit for the =hater was in demand ; one lot having
testae! We. a qr., but the trade generally was very dull.

dsitcnnorna, Oct IL—Our market this morning was
numerously attended, and eanaklerable animation was ap-
parent. kgliah wheat, both new and old, brought Is. per
quarter advance with a moderate demand, while foreign
was taken very freely, and fully recovered the decline of
this day se'nnight. English flour was neglected, but both
French and American was largely dealt in, and the former
was 6d. to Is. per sack dearer. Oats and beans brought
extreme rates. Old oatmeal ruled firm, but new was the
torn lower. Indian corn was without material change.
NRWARE, Ocr. 17.—There was a better attendance at
to-day's market. The beet conditioned samples of wheat
in good demand at full prime. In other grain no altera.
lion.

NEWBURY. Ocr. 18.—We had a small supply of wheat
for the soma. The best old and new realised an advance
of from la. to 2s. per qr. A very small quantity of barley
on offer, and all descriptions dearer. Oats, beans, and
peas dull, at late rates.

Uxasunos, Ocr. 18.—The supply is larger than for
some weeks pest and the trade is active. The best samples
of wheat obtain Is. to 2s. per qr. more money ; out of
condition parcels are difficult to quit. In spring corn the
supply is good and prices cheaper.

•
WATERFORD, Oar. 17.—Our supplies of home grown grain
bare been to a fair extent since Satwilay, but the arnvala
of foreign are retry moderate. We have a good inquiry for
all articles of the trade at extreme prices, and for Indian
corn 3d. par bane! is obtainable.
