COTTON eiOi OB.—MANCHESTER, SEPT. 15. —The mg.
gregate busmen, d the week has been rather consichrable.
No doul,t Cie ,vas inspired by au improvement in the
weather and the probability, of a fair harvest being secured
has been one great cause of this improvement. The ad-
vance of prices, which amounted to 3d. per piece on cloths
and id. per lb. on yarns, has had the effect of causing
buyers, towanls the close of the week, to operate more
cautiously, but the check does not come till both spinners
and manufacturers bare been placed under contract to a
considerable extent, so that they are independent of fresh
orders, and it is only where parties are not in this posi-
tion that they have been willing to scoept an modification
of the full terms obtained on 'Mucky. The news from
India on Wednesday is not encouraging, but manufacturers
of light 40-inch shirting" were previously well placed for
contracts, and are indisposed to accept lower terms. The
principal business, however, has been for cloths for other
markets, including long-cloths, Selotha, printers, and 36-
inch shirting'. For T-cloths some considerable orders have
been booked, and 36-inch shirtings were also in good de-
mand. Printers are in fair request, and command the full
rates obtained on Tueeday. in yarns the best customers are
the home trade, who are large consumers of warps and caps
in consequence of the large orders given out for cloth.
Buyers for Germany and the Mediterranean are also
buyers to a fair extent.

WOOLLEN CLOTH. —LrEns, SEPT. 15.—There was
onlyan indifferent attendance of buyers intheelothhalls this
morning, and a rather quiet feeling prevailed. The trainees-
tions in the coloured cloth market were kept within a mo-
derate compass, and in the white market very little business
was done. The weather wee, however, unfavourable,
which nay have caused some of the merchants to forbear
operating.

HARDWARE— BreirrscuAtt, SIFT. 15.—The reports
ea to the state of trade in this town are far more favourable
than they were a month ago ; moat of the manufacturers
are engaged upon orders, and that the reaction which has
taken place is not confined to the largest employers is shown
by the increased demand fur metal amongst the smaller
manufacturers. During the pest week most of the work.
CPl:have been employed full time. The improvement
t lasted long enough for orders to have accumulated
on the books, but there are more in hand at this moment
than there have been at any former period of this quarter,
and the factors generally report a better feeling with regard
to the home trade. All those who are engaged iu the
manufacture of articles most in demand at this and the
ing season concur in reporting increased activity.
7rPornne adjoining districts of South Staffordshire and
East Worcestershire the reports are of an unfavourable
character. The iron trade is depressed ; it is only a few of
the principal firms who are well off for orders ; others,
whose position is such that they are compelled to go on
making, are forcing the market at lower prices. The recent
failures have done a good deal of mischief, because of the
rumours to which they have given rise of others impending,
and the consequent bad effect upon the trade generally.

0011.N.-NO7IINOHAII, SEPT. 16.-At our corn exchange
this morning supply of wheat from the farmers was by no
MOMS plentiful, and the chow consisted of several samples
of this year's growth, the quality of which was varied. The
trade was firm at the prices of last week ; in some cases as
advance of la. was obtained, while descriptions were quoted
at 63a. to 695., and fats. to 655. per 36 stoue. The supply
of barley was rather hatter, arid the demand was quiet, sales
taking place at prices nut materially varied from thereof the
week preceding ; now qualitiea for malting purposes 'nude
425. to 41c. per qr. ; old alluding, :his. to 345. per 30 Inoue.
The inquiry for eats was slow, and buyers were us, some cases
enabled to effect purchases at pricee in their favour; new
aorta Made VW. to 28s. ; old, 245. to 355• ; new foreign, 27s-
to 311 s. per 24 stone. The show of baall, was scanty, and

495. to SL. ; fine ditto, 445. to 4fis. per Ai stout.
OXFORD, Seer. 15. -There was considerably more wheat
offering today, end a fair boldness, was transacted. In coil-
acquit:toe of the new wheat atoning to market in so damp
and unsatiidactory a state, old wheat commanded quite as
much as this day selinight, prime samples realising 65e. per
qr. luferior samples might be purchesed for 60s. New
wheat made from 465. to 60s. Several maniples of new Imr•
ley uffering, but Out much in request, prices from Ma. to

MOD ditto, 55a. to 565. per 60111 e. ; oats, 114 d. to la tlid.
per stone.
BEADING, Beer. 15.-The falling of the barometer, and a
southerly wind, indicate a change from the late brilliant
harvest weather. But in this immediate neighbourhm:d
so much corn her been serial
that little anxiety id now felt
on the subject which lately so occupied the public mind.
The atte•dance of agriculturist • was not numerous, and the
supply of old wheat dimiuisheil ; but of new there woe a
considerable number of samples, moat of them in and
damp condition. At the opening, business
:proceeded very
slowly ; and though *own! old wheat', were m lair demand,
and l'eslised about last week's prices, the new were difficult
to quit, at a roluctioa dependent on their quality, but we
may say generally at 2s. to 3s. Ire' money. The trade for
barley was only of the most hunted character. Of oats there
were a short simply, at previous rates.
Itomteareit, WWI. 15. -There was but a small attendance
of farmers at this corn exchange, most of them being ent•
ployed shoat harvest work. A few samples of new wheat
werneibibitol, but the qtudity was pruueunced to be inferior
to that of las
cm year's growth. Of old wheat there was only
a waited supply offer, and the trade ruled very dull, the
few sales e weed being done at a rwinetion of about 2a. pear
quarter. Foreign wheat was rather firmer, but there was
warmly anythieg dung in that deecriptiou. The bask,
trade was without animation, but holders were arm in then

refusals to take any reduction In Rake. A few lots of new
were shown the i.pm‘ranc., of which was better than could
have is en anticipated. There was but a moderate .I,a .4
oats in the market, and in the absence of any reliable inf,r.
motion as to the state of the crops, generally prices were
I firm. Beaus and peas maintain their value, and the former
article is expected to be dear during the winter.
WISHECH, SEM 11.—We had another week of he
weather for harvest operations, and where the farmers have
given their wheat field room it has very much improved
the condition. Several samples of new have been offered
here to-day, the quality very various—say from .cubs. to
Stilts. per bushel, and value from 46a. to ate. per qx—the
market finishing about the same as last week, Of Elwin;
corn very little here to-day, and value about the same.
Prices to the grower :—Wheat, white, 565. to 58s. • extra,
605., 631bs per bushel ; ditto red, 555. to 56a ; extra, 58e;
oats, la to h. 2d. per stone ; beans, 455: to 48e. peryr.

_ .
Woaceavan, Baer. 15.—At this day's market there was I
less supply of wheat, and old English wall ls. per qr. dearer;
new, the condition of which is mostly indifferent,
&boa as much cheaper. Barley firmly held for previous
rates. Old oats quite es dear ; new ls. per qr. cheaper.
Beans dell. Peas inquired for.
Foal, SEPT. 15.—We had a fair show of wheat on offer
at our corn market today, bat the attendance of farmers
was limited, many of them in the various districts around
here being busily engaged in the harvest field, and the er”ps
are expected to yield tolerably well. Farmers asked high
prices, but late rates were pretty generally supported ;
white sorts made 645. to Ws. ; red, 60e. to 645. per 36 stone.
The demand for barley was (as has been the me of late)
quite limited, and, the show being scanty, buyers were coo
bled to supply their wants at recent rates, namely, .its. to
365. per quarter. There was not much activity in the oats
trade, and the supply being only moderate the business
transacted was at the currencies of last week, 28a. to 30s.
per 24 stone. Of beans the supply was limited, and the in•
wry was inactive at the prices of last Saturday ; old, 48s.
to 50s. • new, 475. to 40s. per 38 stone. Malt, Ms. to 70s. ;
rye, 04. per qr. Flour, 48s. to 50s. per 20 stone.

KiILICALDT, SEPT. 15.—Here, today, we had a large
supply of barley—all new--condition much better than lamb
week ; it sold pretty readily, the best at nearly last week's
rates; out-of-conditioned parcels Is. per qr. lower. Two
parcebi of new and two parcels of old oats. Only five
parcels of old wheat, and one of new, the latter 54ilte. per
bushel. Wheat, old, 545. to 63.. par qr. ; new, 4N. ;
barley new, 295. to 365. 61. ; oats, old, 31s. 6d. to
325. Gd. ; new, 30s. to 31s. ed. _

WATULFORD, Rm. 15.—The weather in the early part
of the week was fine and dry, which enabled our farmers
to secure a considerable quantity of grain in very fair con-
dition ; since Thursday the rain has rather interfered with
harvest work, but this morning it baa cleared up again, and
if no unfavourable change occur for the next week, very
little corn will remain uncut about here. Supplies of home-
grown produce have been very trifling, and the arrivals of
foreign chow a material falling off. Our market has not
undergone any change of consequence ; the demand for all
articles has been rather slow, but former pion have gene-
rally been realised. Wheat—well-conditioned farmers'
samples sold readily, at extreme rates, but anything else
wan very difficult to depose of. In fore* the transactions
have been unimportant. Barley nominal. New oats have
further given way W. to 9d. per barrel, the condition not
being no good as last week. Old fully as dear. We have
bad a inodemte inquiry for Indian corn at about previous
quotations for prime qualities, but secondary sortie are :kb
per barrel cheaper. 'lour naltered in value. Imports
this week :—Wheat, 4,486 qm. • flour, 44 sacks. Exports
this week :---0.1=1,830 barrels ; our, 414 sacks ;
corn, 80
