SUGAII.-11a1`aot, Orr. 4. —The raw market keeps
firm, but only • small aniouut of butanes& bas been done
during the week. Refined sell slowly at late rake.

HARDWARE.—Butninonnr, Ocr. s.—The trade of
this town is still charocterised by that sluggishness which
has so long prevailed ; the pith of the reports given by the
manufacturers is that they are in expectation the com-
mencement of the quarter will bring out more orders from
both merchants and factors ; the lattcr do not,•however,
weak very hopefully on that subject, their anticipation
appears to be that we shall have continued quietude in the
home trade with some little amendment towards the end
of the month ; nothing beyond that is probable this year.
The bulk of our manufaellarers manage to keep their este-

blishments at work the usual time, but to di that they
are dependent on orders which may cane in almost from
day to day. In the foreign department sluggishness also
prevails, but in the course of the week orders have been
given out on account of the north of Europe, the United
States, South America, and Australia. A better feeling
also exists with regard to the River Plate trade.

Our. s.—Wi !wire

had a week of great depression both to yarn end sloth.
There was some alleviation of thisillepression on Monday,
and sellers ventured to ask rather faller prices, bat ca
Tuesday the market was weaker. Sinop then the market
has slowly given way again, and we have had • °enamours
of the decline which has extended over some months past.
A pod deal of the feeling leading to this result during
this week has been the announcement of failures and the
rumours of fresh difficulties impending. For some market
buyers would probably have confides°, enough to operate
pretty freely, but the constant decline of prima is tempting
them to wait in the hope of doing better. Export yarns have
gone oil slowly, and since last Friday there has been a decline
of fully id. per lb. Bayer, for Germany axe discouraged by
the asps, at political earoplicetions on the continent.
Home trade yarns have given way like other descriptions,
but there would be sales if spinners would accept a slight
further decline. Cloths for India and China of the better
qualities are in demand, and at lower prices some good
sales could be made. Printing cloths are fully 3d. per prim
eheapra.

WOOL AND WORSTED. BIADMILD, Ocr. h.
There ham been peat languor in the worsted trade during
the pest week. There hue been a marked decline in the
demand for wool. The business in every elms of wool has
been reduced to the lowest point, there bologna disposition
either on the part of stapler to sell or spinner to buy. The
purchases made continue to be of quite a retail character,
and to supply only current and pressing wants. Prices are
very irregular, the tendency being in favour of the buyer.
There is the lame inactivity and want of confidence in
worsted yarns. The shipping merchants are doing nothing,
and the o on home amount are reduced to the
lowest t. As orders run oat spinners begin to run
short tune. Quotations are weak and irregular. The piece
breach is characterised by the mine lifeless feeling. No
one operates ereeptlfrom absolute necessity. The Ameri-
can merchants are still out of the market. Continental
merchants place orders very sparingly. The home mer-
chants are not doing by anjospneansbusiness.h an average business.
Many manufacturers are short time—three days
a week. Prices are drooping. e advice* from Leipsio
fair, which opened on Monday, have not so far been fa-
vourable for the male of Bradford products. The coati-
mental news during the week has also tended to create
caution on the part of an engaged in the trade.

WOOLLXN.—Lame, Ocr. s.—There has been a mode-
rate attendance of merchants at the cloth hells this morn-
ing, amongst whom were the representatives of London
and Manchester wholesale houses, and the transactions of
the morning, although not altogether of an extensive
character, have still been promising. The demand in the
coloured market has varied little from what we have
recently bad to report, and has been chiefly directed to
the tweed and coating departments. The former make
has changed bands to a very fair amount in steels, browns,
and fancy coloured warps ; but as the inquiries for the
last named description are at present numerous, the
goods which reach the cloth halls are few, end are only
exposed for sale in isolated mum. The transfer of coat-
ings has been entirely in dark shades, both in plain
colours and mixtures, and a moderate amount of bunnies
has been turned over. We did not notice much altera-
tion amongst the plain cloths. Heavy goods in the while
hall retain their position, sad are yet the chief article in
demand. Several good parcels of beavers and witneys
have left the ball, and the transfer of hair-lists has been
upon the Wonsan Rates in all departments have been
I fully sustained.

Nswcsams- ow-Trim, Ocr. 5.—A4 our market this
morning we bad a liberal supply of wheat from the
growers, condition much improved, and having scarcely
anything from the coast, fresh samples sold quickly, at an
advance of 3s. to 4s. per qr., farmers' red selling from 545.
to 725., and whit* in relative properties. South country
and foreign were held for a similar improvement, and in
the business done the advance was fully established, the
beet south red having been placed at 72a. for arrival by
steamer. Flour bad a fair sale, at the enhancement of ls.
to 2s. per sack. For malting barle7 the demand proved
limited, brewers not being reconciled to the prices de-
manded. Malt unchanged. Beans and peas in slow re-
quest. Oats were scarcely in so much favour, still late
rates were quite sustained. The arrivals this week ars :
Wheat coastwise, 2,287. Barley, coastwise, 18. Osta,
coastwise, 2,362 ; foreign, 1,062. Beans, coastwise, 100.
Nolawics, Oct. s.—There was a very fair supply
of wheat at this market to-day, and prices ruled
about is. par quarter higher than lest Saturday. The
trade was reluctant, however, to operate much at the
advance. The supply of barley is now weekly increasing,
and for the best melting descriptions the rates of last week
were fully maintained. 111-conditioned and grind' ag mortis
were more neglected. White wheat (weighing albs. to
631b5.), 68e. to 74e.; red ditto (weighing 61Ibe. to 631b5.),
60s. to Ma.; best malting barley. (weighing Me. to

NOTTTWORLN, OCT. s.—There was only • moderate
supply of wheat from the growers at our corn market to-
day and some pretty good samples came to hand, the con-
dition of the grain was rather improved. The trade was
good, and prices were 2e. to 3a per qr. in sellers' favour.
Old white aorta made 71s. to 775. ; old red, 66a. to 725.;
new white, 675. to 754.; new red, 60a. to 70a. per 36 stone ;
The supply of barley was fair, and there was more life in
the trade. For the beet qualities the rates of last week
were exceeded ls. per qr. and other diectiptions main-
tained their value ; malti4g, 40e. to 455. per qr.; grinding,
38e. to 40e. per 30 stone. There was • moderate show of
oats, the quality of which was fair. The inquiry was of •
healthy character, sod the tendency in prices was to
advance ; old sold at 345. to 38s. ; new, 275. to 33e. per
24 stone. Of beans the show wee not abundant, and there
was • steady demand at rates quite equalling those of last
week ; old, 48s. to 52a. per 38 stone. For peas recent
rates were obtained. Super flour, 54a. to 5135.; floe, 50a. to
525. per sack of 20 stone.

OXFORD, OM. s.—The supply of wheat to-day was
somewhat limited ooinpared with this day sennight. but
the attendance was large, payees beiag more numerous
than sellers ; several of the former were from distant parts
of the country, whose marline= to purchase gave such an
impetus to trade that firemen had very little difficulty in
obtaining an increase in price amounting to from 3a. to Ce.
per qr. as lam week's market. Thkeurmat prime ranged
