MARKETS.

OOTTON.—Lit MON, Aaotorr 28.—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 8,000 tales, and consist of the fol-
lowing descriptions:-7800 American, bd. to 9d.;1t0
Pommy 7id. to Bd.; 200 Egyptian, Sad. to 91d.; and 51.0
Surat, 21d. to 41d.—of which 2,000 are for speculation sail
export. A steady market at yesterday's prices.

00/TON GOODEL—MAscHaerza, Amon 28. —The
market was very quiet to-day in yarns, and especially in
yarns suitable to the East. In some instances lower prices
have had to be taken. The Germans have been operating
moderately, and some business has been done for other parts
of the continent. In the Roman states the duties on some
kinds of twist have been reduced fifty per cent., and this
is encouraging business to some extent to that direction. A
limited business only is doing for the Mediterranean alto-
gether, but press are pretty steady with the ex.
caption of qualified, and the market is steadier than
might be expectecl, considering the bad news from the East,
the unsettled state of the Continent, and the rainy weather.
In the cloth market some geode are much steadier than
others. The letters to hand yesterday from India include
Calcutta dates to the 19th July, and there were telegrams
to the 28th. Both bring more unfavourable accounts than
those previously to hand, and the telegraphic are the worst
of the two. These accounts show exceedingly heavy losses
on the goods that had been sent out. Some of our merchants
seem to have been almost stunned with the first shock, but
there have been large sales to-day, notwithstanding, at the
low prices of last week, but without a further decline. Of
course there is • disposition to scan paper rather more
closely than of late. T cloths, long cloths, and printers,
especially home trade makes, are a shade lower.

WOOLLEN.—LErns, AUGUST 28.—There waY about the
usual attendance in the cloth-ha:ls this morning, but the
market was very flat, and the transactions limited both in
number and in extent.

MANITPACTURE3.—HunDtasnew, Aucu 28.
The costumed unfavourable weather and uncertainty of the
harvest has a decided effect on trade, and though a toler-
able number of buyers are in the market an unusual degree
of caution seems to pervade all business transactions. Some
few low-priced goods are bought for shipping. Other
branches are eat, and our proapocte fur the autumn and
winter trade look rather discouraging.

WOOLS.—HODDEMPIRLD, AUGUST 28.—The wool trade
is generally brick at this season of the year, it being the
time that manufacturers usually buy for a few months con.
stunption, but prices are considered too high to warrant
them in doing so at present, and are buying only in small
quantities.

Arouse 28.—At today's market a inn.
deride supply of English wheat. Farmers commenced with
asking extravagant prices; but in the limited business
passing about 2s. advance over the currency of last Tuesday
was established, beet runs of red making 665. to 68s. per qr.
of 5041b5. Foreign supporta the improvement noted
during the week, with numerous retail sales. Barley
, scarce awl fully Is. dearer for all descriptions. Beans and
peas in request, Is. to 2• more money. Oats in brisk de-
mand at 6d. per qr. over former prices. The foreign im.

LEM, Auneirr 28.—tiince Friday the weather on the
whole has been favourable in this district for the growing
crepe, but in the south much rain has fallen, and the
pate of sprout and injury become very general. With •
bright sun this morning our buyers only take what their
necessities require, but the business done is at an advance
of 3a. per qiuirter from last Tuesday, being 2s. over the
late.; of Fnday. Barley as before. Beans and oats held for
rather more money. Other articles unaltered. The weather
has again become showery.
LIT/SPOOL, Annus.? 28.—With • large accemion o
American supplies of wheat, and • deckled improvement
in the weather, our market haa beau free from excitement,
but a good consumptive trade has been done, and very full
prices made. At this morning's market there was a fair
attendance of buyers, but they were indisposed to operate
to any large extent, and only the extreme rates of last
Tuesday were obtainable. Flour a slow sale at late pricft,
oats and oatmeal the turn dearer, as are also beans a 1111
barley. Indian corn was rather more freely offered at about
the prices of this day weak, say 345. 9,1. for mixed American
and Ibraila, 355. Galata, and 39e. fur white per 48011 e.

Nzwelsdri.r, AUGUST 28.—The weather is showery and
cloudy. We had a very short supply of wheat from the
country to-day. and fresh quality being in demand brought
an advance of 2s. per qr. upon last Saturday's rates. A large
business wan done in foreign at an advance of Is. per qr.,
but where factors demanded 2s. the transactions were
limited. Flour Is. to 2s. per sack dearer ; choice quality of
Norfolk households, being scarce, would bring 475. per sack.
Barley more inquired after ; so also fine Norfolk pale malt.
Beans and peas firm. Oata firm at Saturday's advance.
