COTTON GOODS.—Mascileirres, JOLT 7.—Trade con-
tinues dill and %active. In the full tide of prosperity
dating six months back, when the demand was greater and
prier were higher than had been known fur many years,
(catguts were entered into with manufacturers, some of
which extend to the end of the year nearly, and though
these were few, the engagements for one, three or six
months were by no means inconsiderable, and most
of these have either run out or are drawing to •
close. At present, therefore, with the exceedingly
=production going on, and with the India and
trade very much cri the supply is Norse-
what greater than the demand,and prices have a conetant
tendency to decline. The depreesion, as shown in previous
trade reports, has already been very great, and is still pro-
greasing. Still there are many circumstances interfering
with this rule, which cause much irregularity in prices.
The fine weather, giving hopes of an improvement in the
home demand, has caused many spinners and manufacturers
to refuse sales at the lowest rates previously accepted, and
this is more particularly the case in the finer yarns, from 60's
to 80'., and in printers, good T cloths, and the better chums
of 40-inch &Stings. The general tone of the market, how-
ever, is ass of dulness, and in the great majority of cloths
and yarns the inclination of prices is in favour of buyers.

WOOLLEN.—LE6I)B, JULY 7.—The market was well
attended this morning, and a good steady busineee took
plow in seasonable fabrics at firm prices. The present
favourable weather imparts considerable confidence in the
prospects for the winter trade.

HARDWARE—BIRKINGRAII, JULY 7.—There has been
•partial improvement in the trade of this town in thecourse
of the week ; it seldom happens that business is brisk here
just at the commencement of the July quarter, but taking
it as a whole at the present time it lis by no means in an
unhealthy state, the partial dulness which prevails being
no more than must at all times be expected in some de-
ctments of the great variety of trades carried on here.
accounts received from the various towns in the dis-
trict are by no means unfavourable, and these are confirmed
by the comparatively small amount of unemployed labour
to be fomd in say quarter. The quarterly meetings of the
ironmiutters of this district will commence on Wednesday
next, at Wolverhampton. The tone of the trade is more
cheerful, and an average amount of business may be ex-

0011N.—Cainamcn, JULY 7.—A very dull market.
Wheat was Is. to 21. cheaper. Other corn was offer' ft at
last week's prices. Wheat, 545. to 561. Beans, 445. to Ms.
Oats, 245. to Ns. per qr.
Ceaueu. JULY 7.—We had a small supply of wheat at
our market this morning, and yet prices were scarcely so
good as last week. The fine weather which we have had
during the past week caused farmers to meet the views of
buyers, and a ready clearance was effected. Barley and
oats, supply small. Prices same as last week. Demand
slack for oats. Wheat, white, new and old, 22a. 6d. to
Ma. 6d. ; red, new and old, 21s. to 225. 6d. Barley,

COLCffILSTIM, Juts 7.—A very small supply of wheat,
the sale slow at a decline of la to 2e. Other grain un-
altered.

Gtouctirrim, JULY 7.—At our to-day's market there was
a very thin attendance with a small supply of English wheat,
and wider the influence of sasignifieent weather, 2s. per qr.
lees money was taken by farmers. Foreign is. per qr.
cheaper and quiet. Barley, beans, peas, fully as high. The
eat nude is without animation, and 6d. to ls. per qr. decline
would be accepted if buyer@ appeared. Imports of the week
ending July 7 :—Wheat, foreign, 990 qrs. Barley, Ireland,
120; foreign, 2,660. Oats, Ireland, 3,720; foreign, 1,110.
Beans, foreign, 120. Maize, 2,060.
GUILDTOND, JULY 7.—There was a very limited fresh
supply of wheat to-day. Dullness was the main character-
istic of the trade, induced by the improvement in the
weather and prospects ; 16s. 10d. was the highest price
realised, but generally a decline of Is. per qr. bad to be
yielded. Nothing doing in other grain.

LIICEISTKIL JOLT 7.-At oar corn market to-day wheat
are less freely to hand, but the sample* shown were of
pretty fair quality, both new and old. There was, however,
but little activity in the trade, and prices receded about ls.
per quarter ; white samples were disposed of at 68.. to 62a.;
red, 54.. to 58s. per 36 stone. There was • limited quan-
tity of barley offered, for which the demand was far from
being active, but the scantiness of the supply prevented any
important alteration in prices which were about the same
u last week; malting, 38e. to, 445. per qr. ; grinding, 335.
to 354. per 30 stone. The show of oats was by no mans
large, and a moderate share of business was done at the cur-
rencies of the previous market day, prices varying from 30e.
to 34a. per 24 stone. Beans were taken off at their full
value ; old, 50s. to 525. ; new, 46e. to 48a. per quarter. Fine
Soar, 435. ; seconds, 41s. ; thirds, 395. per 26 stone. The
prospects of the farmer are now more encouraging, and
wheat looks much better. Barley makes slow progress ;so
also do rata and beans. The favourable change in the
weather has induced farmers to commence the hay harvest,
and good crops are expected. Great difficulty is experienced
in procuring competent mowers.
NZWCASTLE-UrON-TTNC. JULY 7.-At our market this
morning we had an extremely moderate show of wheat from
the growers, which went off upon much the same terms as
last week. In south country or foreign scarcely a trans-
action transpired, holders being unwilling to accept the
rates offered ; at a decline of bs. per qr., however, business
to • fair extent might have occurred. Flour must be
written Is. per sack cheaper, with not many pressing sellers
at the reduction. Grinding barley held firmly. Malt un-
changed. Beans and peas commanded little attention.
Oats comparatively neglected, excepting at prices which
futon could not take. The arrivals this week are :-
Wheat, coastwise, 2,014 ; foreign, 6,506 qrs. Barley,
foreign, 461. Malt, coastwise, 30. Oata, coastwise, 633;
foreign, 3,070. Yeas, foreign, 110. Flour, coastwise.,
417 sacks.
JULY 7.-Today's market was but thinly
attended and was in a most inactive state. If millers
had been disposed to purchase freely they must hare given
last Saturday's prices ; very little wheat, however, changed
hands. There was not much doing in other articles. White
wheat is quoted this evening, 60r. to 655. ; red ditto, 565.
to 60s. per quarter. Flour, 40s. per sack from the miller.
It is expected that the wheat crop in Norfolk, although not
an abundant one, will now be nearly up to an average, a
considerable improvement having taken place since the late
devastating gale visited the country. Barley will generally
be but an indifferent crop, although • few warm light lands
present • better appearance. Oats are very various, hut
beans and peas are strong and healthy.
NOTTINGKAY, JuLY 7.-There was about an average
show of wheat from the growers to-day, the supply consist-
ing of red and white descriptions, and samp. came to
hand in good condition. The trade ruled slow at the cur-
rencies o/ last week. Old white made 575. to 645. ; new,
575. to 645. • old red, 545. to 61e. ; new, 555. to 61a. per 36
stone. The supply of barley was small, and the demand
ruled inactive, at rates not materially varied from those of
the week previous, sales taking place at 30s. to 325. per 30
stone. Of oats the show was small, and the tone of the
trade was firm, at recent currencies ; old, 27e. to 355. ; new,
295. to 345. per 24 stone. The inquiry for beans (the
show of which was short) wee fair, 11114 high rates were
obtained ; old. 48s. to 525. ; new, 475. to 50s. per qr. Su-
perfine flour, 43e. to 47.. • fine ditto, 40s. to 425. per 20
stone. In this neighbourhood the young wheat plant is
progressing favourably, and the auspicious change in the
weather ha. materially benefited the young crops. Barley
has sustained considerable damage, but it now presents an
improving face. Oats are indifferently spoken of, the plant
being thin. A fair yield of beans may be expected.
OXIPORD, JULY 7.-The attendance of farmers at market
to-day, in consequence of so ninny being engaged in the
hay fields, was very limited, and the supply was very
moderate. The few transactions in wheat were rather
easier. Foreign barley was in demand, and hut week's
rates were maintained. Oats, beans, peas, sod dour, were
much about the same in price. The farmers on the hills,
where the crops are good and in excellent condition, are
getting them in fast. lu the meadows a great deal of grass
has been cut for the purpose of cattle eating it green.
Some farmers hope to save a portion by cutting swarths
right through the crops, and thus drain the water off that
left standing sooner.
Pwrxmloaotion, JULY 7.-At our market to-day we
had only a small supply of wheat, which met • dull side at
the prices of this -day week. Barley one. Oats and
beans scarcely • sample to be seen and prices as before.
Wheat, beet red, Ms. to 50s. ; common ditto, 555. to
56e. per 5041b5. ; oats, Is. 3d. to la. 4d. per stew ;
Leans, 48s. per qr. of 53211 a.

READING, JULY 7.—This market was bet thinly att
and the supply of wheat was moderate, but the imleictitt
state of the weather and the very large foreign importations
combined to depress the trade. Holders are still unwilling to
come down to the extent required by buyers, and ommequently
sales were slowly effected at from ls. to 2a. per quarter
cheaper. In barley the supply is small, the demand very
limited, and late prices were barely maintained. In oats,
hernia, and peas there is no quotable variation. Wheat,
40s. to 64e. • barley, 30s. to 455. ; oats, 18e. to 33. • beans,
lay. to ; peas, 3lls. to 46a. ; households, 4gs. ;
seconds, 46e
Rocassres, JULY 7.—There was bat a small show of
wheat at this corn market, and the attendance of farmers
and millers not numerous. The few ',ampler of wheat
placed on the stands were quoted, at the commenoement of
the market, at the rates of last week, but as millers refused
