COTTON GOODB.—Ma ?mantas, Attourt 17.—We
have had a rather more active market than at the time of
last work, and several breaches of the Weds, hitherto flat,
have shown symptoms of improvement. India goods, though
fn fair request, imitating 40-inch shirting', jamonets, and
are not dearer; but there has been • good
bmadnigsseitilomestles, long cloths, and T cloths, and manu-
factures have been able to realise a small advance on last
weeks prices. The demand has been of a rather general
character, for both home and foreign consnmptthn. Yarns
have improved rather more then cloths. With a fair demand
for shipment to India, the Continent, and in fact nearly all
foreign markets, spinners (being well supplied with contracts
previously), have been able to get id. per lb. advance; and
this has bem done in face of a rather quiet and weaker cot-
ton market, giving a man healthy indication of the improve-
ment which the liemlmter trade is undergoing than any-
thing that has reamtly cactumi. The home trade in yarns
has also shown more activity in most of its branches to-day.
Not only are the teannhicturers of the locality among the
buyers to a fair extant, but there has been more business in
the finer counts of twist suited to the Bradford and Notting-
ham markets, at rather fuller prime. Fine yarns suited to the
Glasgow buds have been in mart, and all ambers of
doubled yarns are fa more demand than for a long time past.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Luna, droller 17.—We have
had a ream fiat market this morning. There hen not been
the urinal attendanos of buyers in the cloth halls, and the
business has consequently been confined within a moderato
compass. The tone of the market continues firm.

that goods are not likely to be easier, and they are conse-
quently amain more freely Into the market, and on the
whole a good average business is doing.

KANUFACTURI3B.—BUDDIESTIELD, AVOUST
The buyers attending this market still operate with the
=cud caution, but u the number inanities it of oourse oases
more buidness to be dons, and gives a more healthy tone to
the trade generally. There 4 also some little doing in goods
for the winter, which justifies the belief that a good businem
will be continued throughout the autumn.

CORN.—Hcm, Arouse 17.—Arrivals of grain, with the
exception of barley, are very trifling, which may be accounted
for by the high rates still existing at the principal continental
shipping ports affording no margin for shipments to this
country. Since Tuesday last we have had some slight
showers of rain, but on the whole harvesting proceeds satis-
factorily. The bulk of the white mops in the south may be
considered to be gathered in good order, sad a few days of
fine weatherwill enable fanners in this district to be in a
similar position, moat of the corn being cut end some portion
already in stack. The wheat trade during the week has re-
mained unaltered, and without my fresh arrival' from
abroad worth notice but few transactions have taken
place. Holders of landed parcels continue firm, and
are not diepoeed to accept present currency, under the
Impression thatno decline of moment is at all probable,
and that fine old wheats being in narrow cam-
pus, opportunities may occur later on of realising on more
favourable terms than at present. Oar quotations for wheat
must be considered nominal rather than otherwise, being
above the ideas of buyers and below those of sellers. Con-
aumptive requirements at present appear to be met almost
solely by homegrown, and it remake to be seen whether
our farmers will continua to furnish supplied at any further
reduction in value in the shams of any material compe-
tition in the shape of foreign iceportatkas. To-day we have
a small supply of old wheat, width sells at fully last week's
rates, and a better show of new, which is taken off at 465,
to 46e. per qr. for red, 48e. to leis. for white, per Webs.

terday sitemoca, bat it has not had much effect on the trade,
and the sale is slow for old wheat, without alteration in
value. New is sot offering too plentifully as last week, and
