COTTON GOODS.—Manciivnmt, Nov. 2.—We have
had a gradually declining market throughout the week,
principally in consequence of the turn which affairs have
taken as to intervention in Rome, which last week people
were led to believe would he averted. Yarns have
declined since last Saturday from Id. to id. per lb., and in
some descriptions fully id. Cloths have not given way quite
so much, in consequence of the numerous contracts, which
keep a good many manufacturers from pressing for orders.
Shirting' for India are 3d. per piece lower, jacooneta about
lid., and T cloths lid. to 3d. per piece. The wont
feature of the market is that very little business could be
done at any price, buyers being timid in making any offers
at all.

WOOLLEN.—Lmens, Nov. 2.—The amount of business
transacted in the Cloth Halls this morning has not been
large, and few parcels of importance have changed hands.
The selections which have been made have been entirely
of a sorting-up character. Few buyers from a distance
have been present, and purchases have been of a very mis-
cellaneous character, sprinklings of most classes of goods
adapted to the fall trade having changed hands and in but
few instances have any parcels worthy of splbcial notice
been transferred. Tweeds have attracted the chief atten-
tion, but the inquiries for these goods have not been so
animated as of late, and with the close of the season there
is evidently a decrease in the transfer of this make. In
the heavier descriptions, including the beaver and similar
classes, there has not been much doing ; a few small
transactions have taken place, but the aggregate amount
of business done has been insignificant. air-lists have
also been quiet, and throughout both markets there has
not been any inclination to purchase to a larger extent
than is actually necessary.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, NOV. 2.—There
has been a decline in the state of the wool market during
the week ; the firmness which was so marked at the close
of last week having disappeared. The news from Italy at
the beginning of the week caused great depression, and
this feeling has continued to some extent during the
whole of the week. Other causes have also operated pre-
judicially. The upward tendency in corn and the quiet-
ness in the Liverpool cotton ir.arket have tended to induce
caution on the part of all connected with the trade. Upon
the whole, however, staplers hold their wool with firmness
so far as they have been tested, although acme may be
ready, in prospect of actual business, to make a slight con-
cession. There is no change in worsted yarns. Both the
export and the home merchants are doing the smallest
amount of business. Spinners of two-fold yarns seem to
have the best business-28'v, 30's, 32's, and id's have been
in fair demand, and some inquiry has been made for 40's
for Russia. Prices are, if anything, less irregular than
they were. In pieces there has been a slight business
done in fancy goods, both on the part of home and continen-
tal merchants. Some business has also been done in heavy
goods for China ; but there is little disposition to do busi-
ness beyond what is absolutely needful. The unfavourable
accounts still received from America and the Italian diffi-
culty tend to restrict operations. The tendency of prices
is downward.

HARDWARE.—BIRIIIXOHAN, Nov. 2.—The trade
of this town continues dull. The factors' orders have been
• little better this week, but so far as relates to hardware
goods there is no life whatever in the homp trade. In
some of the most important bninches carried on here, and
in which • good amount of business is usually done at
this season, manufacturers have barely sufficient orders to
keep them going. The foreign trade is without improve-
ment in any department ; the continental brunch of it is
extremely doll, and for business which is been done
remittances come very slowly to hand such is the case
in respect of the markets of the Mediterranean and the
Levant. To South America a moderate amount is being
done ; the West Indian trade is steady. The Board of
Trade returns for September show a considerable decline
under the head of hardwares and cutlery, the total value
of the month's exports hiving been 3.10,7771/., against
451,886/. last year. Of the class of hardwares chiefly the
manufactures of this district the value of the exports to
the Milted States amounted to 41,420/., against b2,081f.

CARLIALE, Nov. 2.—There was a fair supply of all
kinds of grain at our market to-day. Wheat slowly
at the extreme rates of last Saturday, seed maniples bring.
ing more than our quotations. There was no change in
new oa.i, but old oats were fully Is. cheaper ; barley rather
easier to buy. Prices :—Wheat, white, new. 245. to 30a. ;

475. . • oats, 24a. to 31s. ; peas, 425. to 4lis. ; beans, 455.

HERTFORD, Noe. 2.—A good supply of wheat. Trade
not brisk, and last week's prices were barely supported. A
vod show of barley, a steady but not active demand, and
late prices well maintained. Good oats from the farmers

LEICESTER, Nov. 2.—There was a tolerable supply of
wheat at our corn market to-day for the time of the year.
Good progress has been made with seed sowing around
here during the pant week. The inquiry was slow at about
Is. per qr. reduction. 'White aorta realised 755. to 81s. ;
red, 635. to The, per 36 stone. For barley the demand was
not so active as last week. The show of samples was
good, and sellers had to submit in some cases to a decline
of about Is. per qr. Malting, 455. to 48s. per qr. ; grind-
ing,
365. to 395. per 30 stone. The show of oats was by
no means abundant, and there being a healthy feeling
in the inquiry, extreme rates were paid —fine sorts were a
trifle dearer. Old, 345. to 37a. ,• new, 27n. to 345. per 24
stone. A fair demand took place for beans, and prices
were quite as high as last week ; old, 48e. to 545. ; new,
465. to 525. per 38 stone. Fine flour sold at 565. to 575. ;
seconds, 525. to Ms. per sack.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov. 2.—The weather this
week has been for the most part favourable for seeding
operations, little rain having fallen in the interval. To-
day is frosty, with a north-west wind. At our market
this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the
growers, and the arrivals on the aggregate being under an
average, fresh-thrashed samples were taken off quickly at
en advance of Is. per qr., extra white commanding even a
greater improvement, select heavy parcels having reached
82.. to 84s. From the stands only i limited business was
done, owing to the high pretensions of sellers. Flour held
firmly, which hid the effect of checking sales. Malting
Earley in slow request, and inclining cheaper. In beans or
peas little stirring, and the same remarks will apply to
oats. The arrivals this week are:—Wheat, eamtwise,

3,11:1; foreign, 430. Mr, coastwise, 43. Earley.

Oy of wheat was only fair ; and the demand bin,
limited prices may be quoted the same as last week.
supply of barley was larger, awl generally of better qualiir
than has hitherto been offered ; prices for the best malt
ing descriptions were about maintained; grinding snit.
cannot be note.l cheaper. In oats, beans. and peas lath
doing. White wheat (weighing (Albs. to 631 h..), 7:a. to

Born-worts'', Nnv.'2.-The supply of wheat from the
growers was moderate •, the condition of the grain was by
no means first rate. There was a heavy feeling in the de•
mend, and prices for secondary sorts were rather easier.
Old white aorta found buyers at 795. to 84e. • old red, 7.4..
to 78s. ; new white, 78s. to 84s. ; new red, 7ba. to 765. per
36 stone. There was about an average supply of barley,
for which a limited demand was experienced, and the turn
in prices was in favour of the buyer; malting, 45e. to 30s.
per qr. ; grinding, 40s. to 425. per :10 stone. Of oats th,
show was middling, and the quality of the samples ws,
fair. The demand proved firm, and the currencies of last
week were fully realised ; old, 38ii. to 40s. ; new, 28s. 6
365. per 24 stone. There was a short supply of beans, th,
demand for which was steady, and late rates were well
maintained; old, 48a. to 555.: new, 44a. to 50s. per 3,s
stone. Peas were very dear, the show being small. Super
flour, 58a. to 605.; fine, 54a. to 56a. per 20 stone.
OXFORD, Nov. 2.-This exchange was well attended,
but owing to farmers holding out for present prices, very
little wheat changed hands; dealers and millers Only
wanted holders to give way a little, but this the latter
would not do, and hence a dull market ; the general price
ranged from 70a. to 80*. par qr., but one sample of wry
fine white made 82s. Barley was in fair request at last
week's rates-vie., 40s. to 48s. Oats were somewhat easier,
255. to 335. Old beans were in demand, and dearer,
to 545. being the price. Boiling peas 565., but very scarce.
Flour (seconds), 56e. per sack. _

PETERBOROUGH, Nor. 2.—We had • large show of
wheat here to-day, and priees, even for best sorts. were
fully 2s. per qr. lower. AU descriptions of spring corn
could be bought easier—oats, in some instances, la. per
qr.
READING, Nor. 2.—There was an average attendance
of dealers in the market this morning. The supply of
wheat was moderate, which sold at last week's prices.
Barley was firm. Beans peas, and oats were very scarce,
and met with a ready sale.

ROCHESTER, Nov. 2.—Buyers at this corn exchange
evinced little dispostion to make purchases to soy extest,
and notwithstanding that the farmers' and factors' stands
were tolerably well supplied with wheat and other sorts
of grain, the trade raled exceedingly lar..guid, and was
chiefly of a retail character. For all superior lots of both
white and red sorts of wheat the quotations are Is. to 2s.
per quarter higher ; secondary and inferior parcels being
barely as dear as before. The present prices for best white
wheat are 70e. to 745. ; and extra superior, 74,. to 775. per
quarter ; secondary white, tits. to 705.; and inferior, 66a. to
65.. per quarter ; beat red wheat, 70s. to 73a. ; secondary,
665. to 10s. ; rod damp and inferior, 63a. to 66a. per
quarter. The forelen trade was dull, and prices were about
Is. per quarter dearer. The flour market was charac-
terised by great dulness, and the sales effected were
mostly of a retail character, buyers being satisfied to meet
the immediate yenta of their customers. Barley, of both
malting and grinding samples, was in fair supply, and the
trade inactive ; best malting was 445. to 475. ; and grind.
ing, 33.. to 351. per qr. ; secondary malting, 40s. to 445. ;
and grinding lots, Ms. to Ma. per qr. There was little
doing in malt, and prices were about the mule as before.
Oats were in less request, and although best kinds brought
fully as high prices as before, secondary lots were about
6d. per qr. lower ; for best old sorts the terms are 2lis. to
30e. ' • and others, mt. to 265. per qr. Beans and pea.
both firm, prime old lots of the former fetching about Cd.
per qr. more money. The seed market is very firm, and
the business transacted of a moderate character.

WISBECH, Nov. 2.--The supply of ell grain increaaes.
Wheat is Is. per qr. cheaper and dull at the decline.
Spring corn in favour of tho buyer as to price.

Wolter:um Nov. 2.—At this day • market there was
• large supply of wheat, and to effect sales a decline of
Is. per qr. Barley Is. per qr. lower. Oats maintained
their value. Beans and peas in demand at an advance of
Is. per qr.
Yoga, Nov. 2.—The supply of wheat at our corn
market to-day was limited, and there was a fair attendance
of the trade. Buyers, however, operated sparingly, and
rates were quite as easy as last week. Prices for white
qualities ranged from 74a. to 80a. ; for red, 68a. to 73..
per 36 stone. Barley came to band more freely, and there
was considerable variety of umple. For the finest lots
late rates were for the most part supported, other de.
criptions were a little easier to buy. Malting sold at 40s.
to 43a. per quarter ; grinding, 38a. to 395. per 30 steer.
The supply of oats was about as usual, and there was .
tolerable inquiry. Samples were consequently held fa
high rates, end rather more money was obteined. New, Na.
to 30s. per 24 stone. Beans came to hand sparingly, sad
met a fair demand, the currencies of last week being fully
realised, namely 465. to 48.. per 38 stone. Malt Nis. to
68a. ; rye, 44a. per qr. Flour, 56a. to 58s. per sack of 280Ibs.
Wavasroan, Nov. 2.—From abroad one cargo of main
and another of wheat have arrived. Small deliveries of
home grain. The bwiineas done here this week was con•
siderable, but chiefly restricted to dealings in one or two
ducriptions of grain. We need not make much alteration
in our quotations of this day ae'nnight. Wheat—For
foreign the inquiry was and looks to continue large, prin-
cipally for best varieties, and all transactions reported
were at full prices ; Irish—Not much on offer, and lav
rates supported. Barley—Best samples brought our ex.
teems quotations of Saturday last. Black tats—An ad.
vanes of 4d. to 6d. per barrel required by hollers, which
had to be paid to complete shipments. Indian corn cannot
be purchased on easier terms, though the demand is very
limited. Flour unchanged. Imports this week :—Maize,
2,450 ; wheat, 2,350 qrs. ; flour, 38 sacks. Export.
this week :—Oats, 13,201; barley. 7,331 bile. ; flour, 611

CO-OPZRATI VII PROGRESS IN LON DON. —A crowded
meeting of working men, principally connected with the
building trades, was held on Saturday at the King's Heed,
Ebury•bridge, Pimlico, for the purpose of establishing a
co-operative society on • large scale for the district of
Pimlico. The meeting was held under the auspices of the
London Working Men's Association, and is the first of a
series of similar meetings to be held in the various metro-
politan districts for the above purpose. A committee of

of • society, and to call a public meeting in the district
on an early day, over which Mr. T. Hughes, ILP.' or Mr.
Torten', M.P., should be asked to preside. Some further
arrangements being made, the meeting then adjourned to
receive a report from the committee. A meeting with •
