MARKETS.

TALLOW.-THCHSDAT EveNixo.-The market closed
quietly to-day at 43a. 6d. to 435. 9d. all the yes r ; 44c,
sellers, December ; 44e. 3d. to 445. 6d. January to March;
and 44a. 6d. to 445. 9d. March only.
LACE AND HOSIERY.-Ncrercnowaw, Ot-r. 24.-We
are sorry not to be able to announce any improvement in
the lane trade. Some large houses, concerned chiefly in
the home trade, say that it is as bad as it can poimib!y
but in other directions we hear that at last there are •
few American buyers about. They are, however, dealing
very sparingly, and at present their orders have no appre-
ciable affect upon the trade. In the hosiery trade, also,
the home business is exceedingly quiet, but there in rather
more stir in the foreign departments. Yarns have been
firm, and the impression gains ground that prices have
really touched the bottom. More confidence is therefore
felt, that before long there will be a revival in several
branches of the staple trades.-Nuicinehast Juana:.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Ocr. 24.
There is a better feeling pervading the wool market this
morning, though the improvement in business is hardly
appreciable. Spinners who have taken orders are in
many cases looking round to cover with wool, and buy
whenever they can meet with anything cheap. Some lute
have been sold at low prices. The gloom of Monday seems
to have disappeared, and there is • general feeling that
things have reached the lowest point and may take • turn
for the better. There is consequently rather more con-
fidence than there was. Prices are rather more regular
than they were, and holders are not so eager to sell. In
worsted yarns there is a fair demand for the home trade, some
spinners having taken orders which will occupy them fur
some months to come. There is also more doing in both
singles and two-folds for the continental trade. The
orders come in driblet*. Individual spinners report that
they are steadily employed, though the general complaint
is that the trade is very bad. There is no doubt a little
more doing in 30's, 32's, and 36's lustre. Prices are a
little steadier, and perhaps, on the whole, higher than
last week. The only noticeable feature in the piece mar.
ket is the better feeling which prevails. The orders
given out are quite of a retail character. The amounts
from America are not favourable. The home houses are
not operating. Foreign merchants are looking round
with a view rather to test prices than to place orders.
There is • more hopeful feeling, and pekes are less irre-
gular.

CORN.—BIRMINOHAII Ocr. 24.—At this day's market
there was • large supply of English wheat, which was
cleared off at • reduction of ls. to 2s. per quarter, whil.t
white was fully se dear. Foreign 21. to 3a. lower. Barley
advanced ls. per quarter. On oats the turn was in favour
of buyer. Beans and peas unaltered.
Munoz., Ocr. 24.—Arrivals this week are very trifling.
On our market to-day the supply of farmers' wheat was
moderate, and taken freely by millers, at a reduction of
la. to 21. per qr. A fair consumptive demand for foreign,
at the full prices of this day isennight, the intermediate
depression being recovered. For malting barley • fair
inquiry, without change in value. Grinding fully as dear.
The demand for oats small, at • decline of 6d. per qr.
Maize slow and ls. per qr. lower. Beans and peas dull.

Devizes, Orr. 24.—the price of wheat in our market
to-day was not so much lower as it has ruled at many of
tke provincial markets since our last. With a moderate
supply, we bad a fair trade at a decline of 2s. a qr. • but
the demand could not be Galled brisk, and a considerable
quantity was left unsold at the close. Barley was in small
supply, and the trade somewhat slow, last week's prices
being with difficulty maintained ; many of the samples
were not in very good condition, and for these leas money
had to be taken. Oats, beans, and peas are all Is. a qr.
higher. Eye and vetches as last week. Best white
wheat, 38e. to 395. ; best red ditto, 375. fkl. to 38s. lid.;
new ditto 38.. to 38s. (id.; barley, 345. to 475.; beans, 2.2 a
to 285. ; oats, 25e. to 325. •, peas, 21s. to 2.15. ; vetches,
245. to 29e. ; rye, 19s. to 21s. ; fine flour, 565. to SN. ;
beet seconds, 545. to 56a.
BLANCHESTER, Orr. 24.—Our market this morning was
tolerably well attended, and a steadier tone was apparent.
English wheat was in moderate request, at a decline of •.k.
per qr. since this day etennight, and foreign at a reduction
of GEL per cents. Extra qualities of flour were Is., and
secondary sorta 22a. per sack cheaper. Oats were Id. per
451ba., and oatmeal la. per load lower. Euptian beans
sold at quite 2a. per qr. less money, while English brought
fully previous rates. In Indian corn no change can be
noted, the decline of the week being quite recovered.
NEWARK, Orr. 23.—The attendance was fair. Business
in wheat was inactive at 3s. per qr. below late rates.
Supply of barley middling, and late rates were hardly
paid. For oats and beaus prima were a shade higher
than heretofore.

NEWBURY, Ocr. 24.—We had • tolerable supply of
wheat this day. The trade exceedingly slow. To effect
sales 3s. to 4s. per qr. reduction bed to be submitted to.
Barley more plentiful, and ls. to 2s. cheaper. No coot•
able change on oats or beans.
STOCKTON, Ocr. 24—The market was well supplied
with farmers' wheat, and there was • good demand, which,
however, did not prevent • decline of 4s. per qr. on the
rates of this day week. There was no change in other
articles, except dour, which was 2a. per sack lower. Bar-
ley, oats, beans, &a., did not receive much attention.

wheat was 2s. up on top, and 3a. 4d. down on average ;

265. 6d. to 365. ; beans, 435. to 51s.

CATTLE.-Barerot, Ocr. 24.-At our market to-day
there was a large supply of beet and mutton of very fair
quality, but the trade was dull, and a good deal remained
unsold. The prices of beef were about the earns as last
week, inferior quality selling about 63e. per cwt. ; mid-
dling, from 63a. to 68s. ; and very superior, from 665. to
68a. per cwt. ; while in a few rare instances choice ani-
mals fetched 70s. per cwt. The price of mutton varied
from 51d. to rid. per lb. ; heavy ewe' fetching the former
lrice, and choice light wethers the latter. There was a
arge quantity of store stock, including about 1,500 animals
from Ireland, and there was a small improvement in the
trade, but still a good many were left unsold. There were
a few good quality milch cows on offer, which sold readily
but at rather lower prices than last week, the average
quotations being from 12/. to 18/. The West-street
market on Wednesday was well supplied with pigs, all of
which were cleared out at prices ranging from 9s. 3d. to
9s. 6d. per score.
NEWARK, Oct. M.-The prices for both beasts and sheep
were much lower to-day, although plenty of buyers were in
attendance. Upwards of 80 beasts were on show, and
prices ranged from 7s. to Bs. per stone. The show of
sheep was not quite so large as usual. Ewes averaged
per lb.; wethers, 6d. to G. per lb.
NOTIIKUHAN. Ocr. t..1.-There was a good show of
beasts, which met with a slow sale. at somewhat lower
prices. Lambs were also in good supply and the trade for
