MARKETS,

HARDWAKE.—TlissiNi.nsm, Ocr. 12.—The trade o'
this town is rclorted of more favourably ; in the source of
the week orders have been given out by the factors, and
manufacturers generally are better engaged than for some
time past. Amongst the moat important branches in
which an improvement has now been experienced are gene-
ral brass foundry, the electro and other plating trades, tin-
lalate wares, and some other of the metal trades. The
mp and chandelier makers report business dull, as com-
pared with what is usually experienced at this time of
the year. The foreign trade continues quiet as a rule
the merchants are giving out their orders spiringly, and
there is not much prospect of any reaction. The -American
trade is extremely dull ; to South America and Canada a
fair amount is being done. The ironmasters' meetings
concluded to-day at Dudley, but the business transacted
there was nominal.

COTTON GOODS.—Mmicliesrsii, Ocr. 12.—The mar-
ket for (sloth and yarn has continued to droop throughout
the week, and though the change of values from day to
day has been imperceptible it has been equal to a decline
of rather over Jd. per lb. as compared with this day week.
Home-trade yarns have sold moderately where sellers have
been willing at once to meet the views of buyers, but the
demand for shipping qualities has been languid. For
cloth, business has been done in shirting; mulls, and
jaceonets, but buyers are careful to give orders where the
goods are not in stock only under conditions securing an
early delivery. Printing cloths are dull, though hardly
so difficult to move as they have been. For domestics, T
cloths, and long cloths (and especially for the makes of
them suitable to the home trade) only a limited business
is reported, the home-trade houses still pursuing •
cautious policy.

WOOLLEI.I.—Loins, Ocr. 12.—There baa not been a
large attendance of buyers at the cloth halls this morning.
The foggy state of the atmosphere has greatly retarded the
sale of goods which would otherwise have taken place, and
the amount of business tranaacted has oonaequently been
small. Tweeds have engaged the most attention in the
coloured ball, though the parcels which have changed
hands have not been numeroua but simply in clues of
actual necessity, as from the darkness in the market the
examination of this clam especially has been difficult. A
few trauaactions in coatings have also taken place, but not
to say large amount. In the white cloth hall inquiries
have again been mostly for beavers in plain and mixture
colours. Witneys in the lower qualities have
changed
hands to a small amount. The demand for hairlista
in some quarters been tolerably good, though the total
amount transferred has not been satisfactory; and the
same caution that was exercised in the coloured hall has
been manifest in this.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—DIADFORD, Ocr. 12.—The
tone of the English wool market during the week has been
exceedingly depressed. Buyers are quite indifferent as to
business, and many staplers show more anxiety to sell.
Quotations are consequently very irregular. Some favou-
rite sorts, which are in alight demand, lose little or
nothing in value, while coarse descriptions, for which
there is no demand, suffer a marked decline. There
seems, notwithstanding, to be no desire on the - of

part t..
country dealers topress their woolon the market, and prior
consequently suffer no abatement there. The position at
the stapler is one of difficulty. If he sells at • sacrifice, as
he must do, if be press sales, be cannot replace with any
prospect of securing a profit. The same torpor charac-
terises both yarns and pieces. In the former branch, both
export and home merchants operate to • very small
extent. Spinners in many instances have adopted short
time. Prices have a downward tendency, some sorts being
fully • halfpenny per pound cheaper than last week. The
piece trade is slack for all quarters, home as well as
abroad. Production is being considerably reduced ; yet
stocks are accumulating and prices are declining.

CORN.-Camiernoe, Ocr. 12.-Wheat was 2s. to 4s.
dearer ; for millers' wheat and for seed higher prices were
made. Wheat. 665. to 765. for red. Barley, 425. to 465.
Beans, 48s. to 50s. Oats, 265. to 34..
CARLISLE, Ocr. 12.-The market was more excited this
morning than it has been for many
.years. There was •
good supply of wheat, and with a brisk demand prices ran
up to an advance of Is. to 2s. • bushel upon the high rates
of last week, seed samples realising still higher figures.
There was • small supply of oat, and fair of barley, selling
at an advance of from 6d. to Is. per busheL Priem :-

and barleymeal, la. Gd.
COLCHESTER, Ocr. 12.-The supply of wheat at to-day's
market was large, and farmers succeeded in realising an
advance of 3s. per qr. upon last week's quotation,. The
show of barley wee good and sales were effected to • fair
extent from lc to 2s. on late rates. Beans and peas were
scarce, and likewise enhanced the same rise as barley.
OVILDFORD, OCT. 12.-There was a very large quantity
of wheat, and • fair sprinkling of other rain at our market
to-day. Choice samples of wheat were u. request for seed,
and an advance of from 4s. to is. per qr. was obtained upon
such sorts ; middling parcels were from 2s. to 4s. dearer.
Barley and other spring corn tending upwards Wheat,
645. to 90s. Barley, 40e. to 46e. Oats, 255. to 33a. Peas,
421. to 465. Beans, 465. to 52e.
HERTFORD, OCT. 12.-A good supply of new wheat
to-day. Trade was not brisk at first, but there was a good
demand later on, and prices are again Is. to 2s. per qr. (pay
la. 6d. per load) higher. Barley made fully last week's
prices. Oats ready sale and rather scarce. Beans and
pas the same. Wheat, red, 40s. to 445. per load ;
fine to 46e. ; white runs, 425. to 46a. ; fine to 495. Barley,

345. Beans, 245. to 325. par load.
LEICESTER, Ocr. 12.-At to-day's corn market there
was a tolerable show of wheat for the time of the year,
and the condition of the grain was pretty fair. The
inquiry was firm, and business was done at • rise of ss.
per quarter. New white made 745. to 80e.; new red, 675. to
725.; old white, 72. to 795.; old red, 68r. to 735. per
36 stone. The supply of barley was by no means abun-
dant, and there was a steady inquiry. Higher rates were
asked, and this checked business, but sellers easily made
ls. per quarter above recent currencies. Malting, 40e. to
461. per quarter ; griuding, 380. to 40s. per 30 atone.
Oats came to hand sparingly, and the tone of the trade
was of a healthy character, prices being fully Is. per
quarter higher than on the week preceding. Old, 345. to
Ms.; new, this. to 33a. per 24 stone. The supply of beam
was only middling, and a fair consumptive demand was
experienced at a rise of about la. par quarter on last
week's rates. Samples mold at 475. to 52a. per 38 stone.
Fur peas extreme rates were obtained. Fine flour, 55e. to
575.; seconds, 50s. to :/.2s. per 20 stone.

NKWCANTI.I.ON•TTNF, Ocr. 12.—At our market tide
morning we had a large supply of wheat from the
growers, neither the condition nor quality equal to the
first samples ..hown, and having scarcely anything offering
from the stands a clearance was very early effected, at an
advance of :is. to Is. per qr. upon the rates of this day
se'nnight. Farmers' red commanding from 60s. to 78a. ;
one extra sample reaching 60.., weighing 661 b. per
bushel naturally, the market clocin; very strong. Flour
was in steady request, but the high pretensions of sellers
had the effect of checking the demand. Malting barley
wanted. Malt unchanged. Beans and peas Is. to 2s.
dearer, 50a. per 5041 b. having been paid for the latter in
retail. Oats quite as dear, demand nut so active as during
the week.

Nonwicn, Ocr. 12.—The supply of wheat was not so
liberal at this market to-day, and prices for the best
description again ruled dearer to the extent ofabout 3a. per
qr. This, however, restricted business. With an increased
supply, the barley trade took an upward movement, and
the best malting qualities must be quoted Is. to 2s. per
qr. dearer ; other sorts also had an upward tendency. In
oats, beans and peas little doing. Having had seasetiable
rains for the past week or two, farmers are now busily
engaged in preparing their land for the autumnal sowing.

NCITINGHAN, OCT. 12.—There was • limited supply of
wheat at our corn market to-day, and some samples of
good quality came to hand. The demand was more active,
and an advance of 4s. to ha. per quarter was obtained. Old
white sorts ranged from 76e. to z.ls. ' • old red, 70e. to 7:h.;
new white, 765. to Ma. ; new red. 68a. to 74e. per 16 atone.
Of barley • tolerable quantity came to hand, and there was
a good demand. A fair clearance was effected, and sales
were made for fine worts at an advance of fully Is. per
quarter ; other kinds were also dearer. Malting, 41s. to
48e. per quarter ; grin4ing, 395. to 41s. per 30 stone. We
had a steady demand for oats, the supply of which was
limited, and buyers were compelled to pay an advance of
le. to 2e. per quarter on the currencies of the week pre-
vious. Old, 325. to 365. ; new, 28s. to 325. per 24 stone.

was firm at rather over former prices—old, 445. to 52a. per
38 Moo.. Peas were very dear; supply short. Super
flour, 555. to 58e. ; fine, 51s. to 535. per sack.

-----
PrrEßßoannat, OCT. I.l.—We were fairly supplied with
wheat here to-day. Prices ruled high ; some tine wheat
made IsOs., and the same parties gave 745. to 765. for our
beet red wheat. Barley was ls. to a. per qr. dearer.
Scarcely • ample of oats showing.
READING, Ocr. 11—Thin day there was but • small
attendance at the eon market, and a short supply of all
kinds of grain at higLer prices than were obtained last
week.

EOCHE4TER, OCT. 12.—Best kinds of wheat were in
rather better supply at our corn markets, while there em
more disposition evinced by millers and the trade gene.
rally to operate. Superior kinds of new white and red
wheats were in active demand, choice samples of both of
which realising a further advance of 2s. to :is. per qr
while fora few extra fine samples an advance of fully 4:-
per qr. was obtained. The terms for best white wheat are
Os. to 745., and for a few extra superior lots 745. to 791.
per qr. ; secondary white, 675. to 705., and inferior, i4a. to
675. per qr. ; best red wheat, 6641. to 71s. ; secondary, 65... to
68s. ; and damp and inferior, 61s. to tlre. per qr. There was a
moderate supply of samples of foreign wheats, best i.orth•
country samples realising a further advance of 2*. per ir.
The flour trade was again active, and with a fair inquiry,
chiefly for best lots a further improvement of la per
sack is to be noted. With a rather more active demand
for barley, prioes are 6d. to Is. per qr. higher for both
malting and grinding lots. Malt firm, and in steady de.
mend. Oats are in request, and choice old lota com-
mand 6d. to Is. per qr. more money, best sorts fetching m
high as 30s. to 33. per qr. Other kinds of corn firm at
slightly improved rates, with a steady consumptive in.
quu7. The weather has been exceedingly favourable for all
outdoor farming operations.

Wisarcn, OCT. 12.--We have a smaller supply of grain
to-day than usual, owing to a large show of mustard
The farmers commenced asking such prices as the buyer'
could not give ; hence little business was done, at 2s. to
3s. per gr. over last week's rates. The yield of whe.it is
not a full average, but by no means so deficient as repre.
seated. Spring corn of all kinds dearer.

_ -
WORCESTER, OCT. 12.—At this day's market there was
a large supply of English wheat, which sold at an advance
of 24. to 3a. per qr. Barley le. to 2s. higher. Oats 6d.
dearer. Peas and beans Is. to 2s. per qr.
Your, Ocr. 12.—There was a limited supply of wheat at
to-day's corn market, and the attendance of the trade was
good. The bulk of the samples were of the new crop.
Buyers purchased freely, and were compelled to pay 4a.
per qr. more money than last week. Prices for white
ports were from 70e. to 74. ; for red, 675. to 72a. per
qr. of 36 atone. The show of burley was small, and a fair
demand took place ; consequently higher rates were tried
for, and sellers succeeded in making prices 2e, per qr. is
their favour ; malting sold at 38e. to 425. per qr. ; grind.
tog, 37e. to 38s. per 30 stone. There was a steady demand
for oats, and buyers were only able to supply their require.
manta at fully Is. per qr. more money than heretofore ;

rates—namely, 44e. to 48e. per :Itt atone. Malt, Ws. to
685.; rye, 4'2a. per qr. Flour, 502. to file, per sack of
280Ibe.

Warnarosui, Ocr. 12.—N0 foreign arrival. to report,
and receipt' of home grain small. The demand since this
day se'nnight has been on a very fair scale, looking at the
further advanced rates required by ostlers ; purchasers
certainly take barely sufficient to supply their most prem.
in wants, bat at a trifle under the present currency con.
siderable quantities of foreign produce could be sold.
Wheat—The only description of foreign at present en sale
is Taganrog, which is held for 395. Irish, very little at
