MANUFACTURES. —lluncznenun, Ocr. 22.—The
number of buyers attending to-day has been very small,
and business transactions have been on the usual limited
scale. A few purchases have been made In ordinary goods
for the purpose of keeping up assortment of stocks, and in
heavy patterns adapted for the approaching winter a little
has been done, but no speculating purchases made. The
local merchants complain of want of orders, and trade
generally throughout the district is dull, and soma of the
mills are working short time.

WOOLS.—HUDDIgIITIILD, OR. 22.—The wool trade
oontinues quite as dull as formerly, buyers selecting small
rosls only for present requirements. Prices established
by last London sales have up to tho present been pretty
well maintained.

COTTON.—LIV2RPOOL, OCT. 22.—Less doing, pricesthe

COTTON GOODS.—MANCHESTER, Ocr. 22. —The large
business done at the close of last week in cloth, suitable
to the markets of India has not been followed up to-day
by operations of any moment ; nor are buyers disposed to
endorse the enhanced quotations which those large opera-
' I tions entailed. This market generally sympathises with
the depression in Liverpool to-day, and the uneasy feeling
arising from the failures there has spread a gloom over
business circles generally. In the extensive operations
referred to as taking place last week, no doubt buyers sup-
plied their wants pretty freely. On the other hand,
makers of cloth are not desirous of entering into further
contracts under present circumstances. For these reasons
we have had but a limited business in shirtings and other
India classes of goods ; and sellers have to quote prices
decidedly lower. There is some business doing in
printing cloths, bat the home trade continues
without much movement, and this branch of
the market may be characterised as languid.
The high priest which have to be paid by the working
classes and the greater portion of our home consumers for
food—especially for bread and flesh meat—absorb too much
of the incomes that should go towards the clothing fund
to encourage much enterprise on the part of our country
houses. The reports given by drapers in all parts of the
three kingdoms are discouraging. Some of our large
houses are withholding their travellers from this cause,
and the prudence which has so long induced them to keep
their stocks low, still points to a continuance of this policy
as desirable. The yarn market has been quiet, but
steady. In shipping yarns all qualities made of good
cotton and the spinners of many counts are well under !
contract. People here to-day have taken a more favour-
able
view of the state of things with regard to Italy, and
this has caused buyers of yarn for the continent to
operate more freely than of late. In home trade yarns we '
should have bad a better market but for the Liverpool
failures, but though there has not been much business,
prices have given way but little.

WOOLLEN.—Lribs, Ocr. 2L—The buaineu trans-
actions in the cloth-halls this morning have varied little
from what we have recently had to report. There has
been a moderate attendance of buyers both at the coloured
and white markets, but their operations have not been
characterised by any great amount of animation, and the
purchases which have been made have, with few exceptions,
been restricted, and confined to sorting-up. In the coloured
ball attention has again been directed to tweeds, which
have changed hands to a very fair extent, and are equally
as much in favour as at any former part of the season.
The introduction of orange warps into the market is now
becoming more general, although the manufacture is yet
confined to a limited number of makers, and the difficulty
in procuring perfection in colour has not yet beeu over-
come. Several trials have recently been made which have
so far proved failures.

CORN.—fft'LL, Ocr. 22.—At to-day's market a fair
supply of wheat from farmers, but millers and dealers
oiler a reduction of fully 4s. per qr., which is reluctantly
complied with, and the extent of business passing is only
moderate, best runs of red making 68s. to 795. per 5041 be.
to the grower. Foreign is nominally is to 2s. cheaper,
with next to nothing on the stands. Barley of all descrip-
tions rather easier. Beans and peas from scarcity fully as
dear. New English oats rather lower, but what few old
foreign are left held firudv at fully fate rates. Arrivals
for the week :—Foreign wheat, 4,28 ; barley, 1,251 ; oats,
1,739 ; beans, 4,267 ; tares, 100 qrs.
Irswieit, Ocr. 22.—The supply of wheat was much
smaller here to-day than of late. Farmers were very re-
luctant to accept lower prices, but buyers only would
operate except at a reduction of 2s. to 3e. per qr. from this
day week. Barley in larger supply, and was Is. per qr.
cheaper. Beans and peas scarce, and fully as dear.
LIVIIPOOL, 22.—T0-day's market was only mo-
derately •attended, and in wheat a very limited busi-
ness was tlona, at figures about Is. per cents' under
those of this day week. Flour ,Lo expentaced a reatxickd

inquiry, and was is. 6d. per sack cheaper than on Tuesday.
Indian corn in fair deniand, at 46a. 6d. to 475. per quit. r.
Egyptian beans and Canadian peas had only a retail sale,
and 2s. per quarter hewer. Oatmeal neglected, and is. per
load easier. Oats Id. per bushel lower.
LEEDS, Ocr. 22.—The show of wheat is by no means
large, as the greater part of the late arrivals have already
gone into consumption. Of course our millers feel disposed,
under the present aspect of the trade, to work off their
late purchases a little ere they make new ones, and as the
business on these markets has been entirely void of specu-
lation, and only ruled by demand and supply, circum-
stances justify the belief that the downward tendency
cannot be of long duration, and on the sales made to-day
Friday's rates are supported. Barley is rather easier to-
day. Beans and other articles quite as dear.
LYNN, OCT. 22.—The weather has been very mild alms
this day week, with frosts at nights. Seeding operations
favourably, and a good breadth is already planted.
To this
i day's market the attendance of growers was good,
and a fair show of wheat ; the demand was slow at • re-
duction of 3s. to 4s. per qr. from the extreme rates of last
week. Barley in moderate supply, and more demand for
malting, at fully last Tuesday's rates ; grinding samples
are not active as of late, and prices in favour of buyers.
Beans, prices firm. Oats, bd. to Is. per qr. cheaper.
Per imperial qr. to the grower :—Wheat, white, new,
weight, 611 be. to 631bs. per imperial bushel, 73e. to 775. •

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, OCT. 22.—The weather has
become mild for the season, just in fact what is required
for the country. At our market this morning we had a
pretty good supply of wheat from the growers, but with
only moderate arrival, from the coast; some quantity,
however, remaining over front Saturday, this fact, com-
bined with the discouraging report from Mark-lane, occa-
sioned • very dull trade, only few sales being practicable,
at a decline of le to 2s. per qr. Flour was also a slow
sale, Norfolk household, being offered in vain at 53a. per
sack. Malting barley less Inquired for, and tending
cheaper. In other articles we have little alteration to
note.

SALISBURY, Ocr. 22.—The supply of all descriptions
of grain was moderate, but the attendance generally waa
large.
A very limited business was done in wheat, at a
dee of from 2s. to 4s. per qr. Flour declined Is. per
sack. There was a brisk inipury for malting barley, which
sold 2s per qr. cheaper ; secondary samples were a dull
sale at 3a. per qr. less money. Good old malt was held at
full rates, with a slack sale. Business in other kinds of
grain was quite of a nominal character, but fully Is. per
qr. cheaper. Old wheat, sth. to 78s. ; new ditto, 425. to
725. ; barley, 375. to 43e. ; oats, 255. to 30s. ; beans, 4fle.
to 565. ; peas, 40a. to 50e. ; rye, 20a. to 25e. per qr.;
tares, ss. 64. to 7s. per bushel ; flour, 475. to 535. per
sack ; malt, 725. to 745. per quarter.

CATTLE.—Samentatr, Ocr. 22.—The supply of cattle
to-day was again very large, with a good attend-
ance of buyers; best animals, of which there are •
good number, met with • steady sale, at about the
rates of last market; but inferior sorts, being greatly
in excess of the demand, was a dull sale, at a
reduction of 6d. to la. per seore. There was an
abundant supply of sheep of good quality, over 2,000
being penned, which found buyers at about last market's
quotations. The supply of calves was limited, and
maintained full prices. The pig market was moderately
supplied with all kinds; trade was steady, prices advancing
about Is. per head for small ones. Prices ranged from
12a. to 13s. per score for beet oxen, and 10s. to 10s. ea • for
cow and heifer; mutton, from 64d. to 81. per lb.; veal, id.
to 7. d. ; fresh pork, id. to 70.; green bacon, s,L to sicl.
dry ditto 9d. to 10d. ; small porkers, per score, 9a. to
9a. Gd. ; sweet pickled hams, 91. to lud. per lb. ; and
quarter-old store pigs, lls. to 12a. each. Our Michaelmas
fair was held to-day, when there was a remarkably good
supply of onions, which sold from ss. Gd. to Ga. per sack,
and pickles 7s. a bushel. There was not muck doing in
cheese ; the supply was short, and prices were about the
same as at the but monthly market.
