MARKETS.

BUGAM.—Tbe imports in July have been has than those
during the previous month, and the total for the seven
month. te 239,600 against 257,300 tons in the same period of
1868, while the Gunmetal deliveries for the seven montha
have been 286,930 against 242,200 tons last year, not incind-
tog the extra quantity on which duty has been paid in expect-
tenon of an advanced scale, which is supposed to be about
40,000 tons. The actual bonus connmptioa still continues
to show bat the very trifling comparative dadlidency of about
8,000 tons, notwithstanding that the last wee a much more
abundant fruit gluon than the present, sad the stock duty
paid and in bred is 90,700 tons against 97,800 on the let
August, 1868. As regards the prospects for the reminder
of dos year, there appears no grand to aaddpsts any great
change in the wane of the market; sad the mewl mode-
rate scale of prices may be imputed to be nalntained. la the
demand will melt probability Wally equate the 'apply. The
Wt ad vices from the West Indies are has dliceuraging es to
the injury to the canes from drought, and there is DO DOD
feature in the reports from other tropical conatrion The
establishment of pesos may be expected to give ea impetne
in continental rusticate, which view I. confirmed by the
report of the result of the Dutch ask on the 29th alt.—

COTTON.—LIVIRPOOL, Avocet 4.—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 8,000 bales. A quiet market at
yastarday's Esioes.

WOOL AND WORST ED.—Bnanvonn, Atrocity 4.
The wool warehousesare all well stocked with deem and only
crocoptiativaly supplied with very fine-sorted woo/a. The
business) doing m languid. Prices are too high for
spinners to lay in stocks. At present ratan therefore, they
only bay to meet immediate and pressing wanta. In node
sad shorts there is no change worthy of notice. In worsted
yarns, the demand for home coneumption keeps uniformly
steady, sad spinners are for the most part under contract
for distant delivery. In the export trade there is less buoy-
ancy than there wan, the enhanced prices having daring the
week checked operations with the contioest. In pieces the
manufacturers are generally well employed to order. The
late advance in pricer, however, makes it exceedingly diffi-
cult to realise the cost of prediction. They seek higher
rates, in self defence, but they are very reluctantly con-

CORN.—Btaxterozaw, An (MIT 4.—At 01040041er
mar-
ket on the 30th, wheat was firmly held for former rates ;
at Worcester the mime day, a reduction of la. per quarter
was reluctantly submitted to. Barley unaltered. Oats held
kir previous rates Beans rather cheaper. Peas difficult to
sell. Daring the present week, on the limited transactions
reported in wheat, the turn waa in favour of the buyer.
Barley tending downwards. Oats, brans, sad pm, only
found buyers in retail. At Wolverlunipton, yesterday,
wheat was again le. per grimier lower. At this day's market
there was a less mipply wheat, which could only be told
at a decline of Is. per quarter. Barley, oats, and beans, all
held for previous rates. More doing In peas.
Devizes, AUOVBT 4—Harvest is now in full operation,
and many farmers were chant, nevertheless there was a
liberal supply of wheat for the time of year ; several lota of
new were rhown ; the quality was very lice, red weighing
up to 13 souse 3 net, and some whits Talavera,
12 amore if, which sold at 26e. a sack tha
best new red selling for 235. Generally there was a
good business done, the prime of last week being fully main-
tained, with the turn slightly is favour of the teller. The
new crop amorally is not well spoken of, blight and mildew
being said to have done much injury both to quantity and
quality. Wheat, best, 42r. to 46e.; ditto, middling, 37r.
