MARKETS.

MANUFACTURES.—HUDDERSTI6I,I3, Accuar 20.
Buyers attending to-day have been few both from London
and the provinces, and business transaction generally
have been on a small scale. A few purchases have been
made in black doeskins, good stripes, and new fancy
patterns but the to has not reached anything like
the usual average o former seasons on the commencement
of the autumn trade. Some little has been done in middle
qualities on Irish account, and also for Canada, but as
regards the latter the quantities have been much limited.
The low goods trade continues in its usual dull state with-
out any appearance of improvement.

WOOLS.—HoonnEarium, AUGUST 20.—Some moderate
sired paroels have arrived from present sales in London,
but only • few have found purchasers. Manufacturers
complain of an accumulation of their goods, and are oon-
sequently unwilling to buy extensively.

COTTON GOODEL—lLtnciimrrea, Acura? 20.—We
have bad • spiritless and depressed market for yarns and
cloths generally. The demand has been without anima-
tion, and all classes of goods have been almost equally dif-
ficult of male. For shipping yarns the market has become
quieter daily since Friday, and sexy little business has
been transacted for any quarter. To effect sales to any
extent lower prioes must be entertained. Continued un-
satisfactory advice' from Calcutta have caused buyers for
that market almost entirely to withdraw from negotiation
for the *ousts and qualities of yarn usually shipped to
India. For other export markets there is only a hand-to-
mouth business going forward. The market for limns
trade yarns to-day has been exceedingly tame, with very
little disposition either on the part of our own or
other manufacturer, to operate. As • natural
consequence, prices are tending in favour of buyers.
In the cloth market the demand we reported
as existing in the early part of last week has
subsided very much, and for the last few days
buyers have shown • disposition only to operate at re-
duced rates, snob rates, indeed, as manufacturer, have
been unable and unwilling in many instances to accede to.
The consequence has been • very restricted business. India
makes of cloth have, perhaps, more especially fallen out of
demand under these circumstances, while the better sort•
of China shirtinp have in most caeca suffered less diminu-
tion in value. To-day the cloth market has presented
generally but a quiet and gloomy aspect, and although
sellers, in their publish:d quotations, do not record any
very great decline, yet we find goods of all descriptions
weaker in price, and that business transactions for all
markets have been not only few, but for small amounts.

WOOLLEN.—Leone, Allover 20.—There has not
been • numerous attendance of buyers at the cloth
halls this morning. A few Scotch and Bradford houses
have been represented, but their transactions have been
upon a very limited scale. The uncertainty as to the state
of the weather at present greatly affects the markets, for
upon the results of the harvest in a great measure depends
the condition of this season's trade, consequently any un-
favourable aspect which may appear has a depressing in-
fluence r?on the operations of buyers in the cloth halls.
In the coloured ball attention has again been chiefly
directed to tweeds, both in low and fine qualities; the steel
and brown mixtures have been mostly inquired after.
Coatings in stripes and checks have also been in moderate
request, but the parcels which have changed bands have
all been limited in amount. Plain cloths have in a few
instances been in tolerably good request. The transfer of
hair-lists in the white market has somewhat improved.
The inquiries for better class goods have been more ani-
mated, and the general tone in this department has been
more favourable. Beavers continue to hold their position
amongst the heavier makes, cloth-finished goods being
mostly in request. Heavy witneys in the fine makes have
also met with a few customers, the lower chases and
thinner makes bare been much neglected, and where
heavy stocks of these are held a reduction of price is ob-
servable. The Ossett trade has also been quiet, and few
parcels of milled mellow or gouda of a similar make have
h d hands. Prices as have, a rule, remained with-
courigerstion.

CORN.—HrLL, Aroutrr 20.—Weather, with the exmp-
tion of a few hours' rain in the early part of the week,
has been hot and forcing, and harvest has already com-
menced, and in • few more days, with • continuance of
such weather, will be general. The accounts that reach
us from the south of England, where the wheat has
already been tested by thrashing, are not favourable as to
itrhuield , and we get similar reports from the best corn
producing districts France, both north and south.
Spring corn of all descriptions is likely to prove a good
average, with • favourable gathering. At to-day's market
• small supply of English wheat, which sells slowly at
barely last week's currency. Foreign neglected, and penes
favour buyers, but having had • good deal of rain during
the last night holden do not press Wee. Barley steady.
Beans and peas unaltered. Oats very scarce, and all de-
scriptions would make more money if there was any stock
to work upon. Foreign arrivals for the week :—Wheat,
1,326 qn. ; barley, :lit ; oats, 656 ; beans, 220.
IPSWICH, Auouer 20.—A fair quantity of new wheat
offering, most of which was of good quality and condition ;
millers were not free buyers, and prioes were Is. to 2s. per qr.
lower than last week. Beans and peas firm at late rates,
LIIDI4 Arouse 20.—The weather has again changed,
sad rain is general this morning, accounts of much wet

having ben telegraphed ua from the southern aunties
and the East Rig of Yorkshire ; however disappointing
it may be, the facts of a bad quality and very light yiea
become every day more apparent, and this had its conse-
quent effect in Mark-lane yesterday, for although it was
intensely hot and a fair quanti.y of the new crop showing
prices were well supported, and the tone of the trade, io., stead of being weaker, was stronger. Our millers still hold
off, as an advance upon last Tuesday's rates is inside.' upon,
and holders of wheat do not see it is prudent to concedo
the point at issue at present, under existing circumstances.
Other articles as before.

LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 20.—There has been e high Mk of
temperature prevalent for several days past, and the later
porcion of the harvest of the l'idied Kingdom is reported
to have made rapid progress towards maturity, so that
with continued fine weather the crops will probably b.
gathered up a week sooner than was of leas supposed to
be likely. In many parte of the country thunderstorms
and bevy rain have again been experienced, but beyond
temporarily retarding the tutting as well as the housing
of corn, little or no injury is supposed to have been suf.
fered. The market this morning is well attended, but the
day being fine, millers have acted cautiously, and the
transactions in wheat are of limited extent at a general
reduction of Id. to 2d. per costal from the currencies of
this day sennight. Flour is also rather easier in value.
Beans are 6d. to 9d. per qr. cheaper. Peas 6d. per qr.
lower. Oats and oatmeal held for previous rates, but
sales very slow. Choice American Indian corn is scarce,
and taken at the reduction of Friday ; the balk on offer is
more or lees damaged, and the value of such is quite int-
gular; the demand for Ireland has almost entirely sub.
sided.

Aucuer 20.—The weather on Thursday and Fri.
day last was wet and unsettled ; since then it has been
favourable for harvesting, which is now general. At te.
day's market the attendance was small ; prime old sample,
of wheat realised last Tuesday's prices. Some samples of
new red sold at from 63. to 6es. per qr., weighing foOlbs.
to Olt* per bushel Spring Born—prices firm. Per im-
perial quarter to the grower:—Wheat, white, old, weight
611bs. to 631bs. per imperial bushel, 70s. to 744.; ditto,
red, ditto, 611bs. to 631 b., 63. to 66a. ; oats, 361 be. to
381 be., 245. to 275.; beans, 631ba. to 651ba., 43a. to
.48a.;
peas, maple, 63Ibs. to 641b5., 40s. to 425.
Nr:wciarta•or-TT.re, ACOrBT 20.—The weather has
again assumed an unsettled appearance, yesterday was wet
throughout, and to-day is showery with south wind. At
our market this morning we bad a moderate show of
wheat from the growers, with scarcely anything from the
coast ; nevertheless, a very quiet feeling pervaded the
trade, resulting in a very moderate business at Saturday's
rates. For south county yellow wheat 71s. was paid, and
70:. for white Spanish, quality not extra, all per 50411*
respectively. Flour in fair request, the demand running
chiefly upon extra foreign, for which 51s. 6d. and 525. was
realised. In other articles little change can be noted.
