MARKETS.

corroit—LivaaPooL, JULY 14.—We have had a very
poor demand to-day, and a dull and irregular market at
rather easier rates. The sales are 7,000 bales, of which
1,000 are for export and speculation.

COTTON GOODlL—Mascirsurfra, JOLT 14.—The hopes
of an armistice and of peace, which gave a great impetus
to this market when the desire of Austria was first an-
nounced, have been gradually giving way all the week, and
may now be said to have been almost dissipated. On Tues-
day a good many transactions in yarn for Germany were
based upon it at decidedly higher prices. Cloth advanced
something like a shilling a piece, taking good shirtings as
an example, and pushed on by an excited and rising cotton
market at Liverpool a good deal of business was ventured
upon. Since Tuesday the market has shown a reaction,
and prices have gradually given way, especially cloths,
which have lost tid. to 2cl. per piece. The depression,
however, should be measured by the almost total
inaction of buyers rather than the decline of value. The
Batumi of the market yesterday and this morning has been
very marked. The buyers of cloth were difficttlt to move
when prices were advancing, and now they are either ab-
staining resolutely from operations or offering prices
which cannot be entertained. Buyers of yarn for the con-
tinent have again entirely withdrawn from the market.
Sellers of yarn, who had added id. per lb. to their quota-
tions. have now taken it off in most cases, but without in-
ducing business. There has been exceedingly little done
for a day or two past, either in shipping or home trade
yarns.

WOOLLEN.—Leans, JULT 14.—We have to report e
moderate attendance both of manufacturers and mer-
chants at the Coloured Hall this morning, and • fair
amount of business has been transacted in plain cloths and
fancy coatings, along with • limited number of dark
tweeds. The white market has also presented a more
animated appearance, several trarsactions having taken
place in heavy goods. The inquiries for hair-lista and
mediums have also been well sustained. There has not
been any alteration in prices.

HARDWARE.—EIMIINGRAII, JULY 14.—The trade of
this town is inactive, which is to a great extent attribut-
able to the stoppage of a large part of the continental
orders • and in other respects, those given out by the
inerrehLts are comparatively small, as indeed they have
been for the last month. The factors also are doing only
a moderate amount of bruisers, sad the reports received
through their travellers are to the effect that the tendency
to a lull in the home trade is increasing ; the country shop-
keepers are buying sparingly, and, with harvest operations
in prospect, and the unsatisfactory aspect of affairs on the
continent operating to give rise to uneasiness,
it is not likely that we shalt have any return of animation
until towards the autumn. Manufacturers generally are
prepared for this Condition, but so far as this town is con-
cerned business was in such a healthy state at the first
part of the year that there has been no such thing as
making up goods for stock; and even now there are few
instances in which the manufacturers are not going on
quietly, the usual time, on orders. The trade of the
district is also quieter, but except at the ironworks there is
no depression. The Small Arms Company here are about
to be employed by the government in the conversion of
Enfield guns into breech-loaders.

CORN.—CAYBILIDGR, JULY 14.—We had $ vary small
market and millers would only buy at reduced rates, con-
sequently little business was done.
Canuniz, JULY 14.—There was a small supply of wheat,
oats, and barley at our market this morning. Wheat wild

it is generally thin. Turnips and potatoes are improved
much during the last two or three weeks.

but little business was done at last week's quotations.
