MARKETS.

COTTON.—Linarom, Oar. 16.—The advice' from
America per Anglo-Saxon, received this morning, showing
higher or there with very tad weather, caused an active
defor *sties: to-day, and the sales close large, with
rather dearer prices for the lower qualities of American,
being 90,000 balsa, including 16,200 American, at 34d. to
• ; 3,000 Surat, at Md. to 54d.: 600 Egyptian, at 74d.
to lOgd. ; 100 Peru= at Bgd. to 84d. ; 100 Maranham, at
7441. to M., of which 13,000 fully are for speculation and
export. The week's import is 15,833 bales.
COTTON GOODS. —MANCHESTII, Ocr. 16.—Accounts
are to hand from China and from Calcutta, and to say the
least, they are as bad as any previously received. The
Chinese advice' ore very discouraging, from the presence of
the rebels at Shanghai having pot a stop to business. The
effect of these advices here is, that shippers to India and
Chips have ceased to operate for the present ; but maniac-
' turers are full of orders for all descriptions of cloth suited to
those markets, and do not care about selling, except at very
full prices. There is literally no business doing. In other
ir.l
both for home consumption and export, there is no
change ; • steady business is going on at full prices, sad
some kinds of printers and T cloths are well engaged. In
yarns there is a strong and steady market, but not much
doing. The advanced prices of last week are fully main-
tained. Fur borne trade yarns a steady, good demand.
Mediterranean houses are doing rather more business, and
there is a limited demand for mule twist callable to India,
at full prices. In some instances the Chinese houses are
giving the full rates of last week for water twist, but there
is not much business.

WOOLLEN.—Liens, OCT. IG.—We have had a rather
quiet market this morning. There was only a moderate at-
tendance of merchants in the kalls, and the transactions
were kept within a very moderato compass.

MAN Ur ACTITRIN. —R TM:MR/471EL% OCT. 16. —There
has been a rather better attendance of buyers to-clay, and a
little more business doing in heavy goods for the winter
trade ; but in nearly all the other branches a great degree
of caution is still exercised, and stocks continue to increase.

WOOLS. HUDDICRAFIELD, Ocr. 16.—There is only a
limited business doing in the wool trade, bet the lightness
of stocks keeps prices at their formes standard.
CORN.—Hot.t., Ocr. 16.—At to-day's market a fair
supply of English wheat, chiefly new, the quality and con-
dition of which is still so various that it is difficult to give
reliable quotations ; best dry qualities of new, which are
the exception rather than the rule, support last week's
currency, whilst dry old is ls. per qr. dearer. Foreign
supports former prices, with a fair sale in retail to local
muter,. Barley scarce, and all descriptions fully L. per
qr. dearer. Oats unaltered, with only limited demand.
Beans steady. Peas le. to 2s. higher. The foreign im-
ports last week areas under :—Wheat, 6,4140 qrs. • -barley,
16,752; oats, 3,817; beans, 2,891; pees, 880 ; tires, 66;
linseed and rapeseed, 15,400; oil cakes, El 9 tons.

. .
LEEDS, OCT. 16.—Ran commenced yesterday and still
continues, delaying the completion of harvest ; a good deal
of the crop reported to be yet in the fields in many districts.
The supply of„tino dry wheats is still small, the trade shows
more buoyancy, and in some rases a shilling advance is ob-
tained over Friday's rates on best samples of new and old ;
damp and inferior qualities can hardly be sold at any price.
Good barley as before ; anything out of condition rather
gives way in value. Oats and beans quite as dear. Other
articles as before.

Lire/moot, Ocr. 16.—We have had • numerous attend-
ance of both local and distant buyers at our corn exchange
this morning, and a large amount of wheat has been taken
for the interior at an advance of Id. per centel over the
rates current on Friday. Flour has had a healthy consump-
tive inquiry, and French must be noted from 6& to Is. per
sack dearer, whilst American, from the large supply, re-
mains unchanged in value. Indian corn was only in mode.
rate request, and Friday's rates could not be exceeded.
Oats and oatmeal bring full prices. Beans must be •oted
6d. par quarter dearer. Peas and barley unchanged. The
market closes very steady.

LYNN, Orr. 16.—The weather continues very wet, with
strong south west winds. At to.day's market we had a fair
show of wheat ; a good demand was experienced for all good
dry simples of new at extreme prices—damp qualities slow
sale at last week's tetra. Barley : we had more showing
than last week ; good malting qualities fully commanded
but week's prices—damp parcels rather lower. Beans end
oats 6d. to Is. per qr. higher. Wheat, white, Glib. to
631 b., 63e. to 67e. ditto, red, 581 b. to 621 b., 525. to
635. Barley, heat Chevalier malting, Glib. to 541 b.,
445. to 465. ; ditto, runs Chevalier, ditto, 5241 b. to 531 b.,
38a. to 40a. ; ditto, distilling, 19316. to 5111 x, 34e. to 365.
Beans, old, 631 b. to 651 b., 60s. to 54e. per quarter to the
powers.
NIWCAB7LII. OCT. 16.—The weather has been very un-
settled since Saturday. Yesterday it mined without ceasing,
and, es showing the quantity of moisture that fell in the
west, the river during the night overflowed its hanks. At
our market this morning we hail a moderate show of wheat
from the growers, and, the condition of the new samples
being wretched in the extreme, old descriptious in come.
queuce Leininaoded more attention and priom were realised
which could not be obtained on Saturday. Fine dry new
south country qualities were in steady request, and
realised late rates without difficulty, whilst is little old
red was placed at Otis. per 5041bs In old foreign a
good business was done, choice Holstein red making
665. ;_ extra Stettin the same figure • whilst fine
mixed Dentine found willing taken at 68:i. per 504115.
Flour was in more active request, choice households being
worth 47e. 6.1., and whites up to 49.. Foreign also was in
peal demand, and late currencies well sustained. Malting
barley wanted, but our buyers do not like the price, and
therefore operate cautiously. Grinding descriptions scarce
and inquired for. Beane and peas each tending higher.
Oats rather dearer, 265. 6d. to 275. being the value of the
beet Russian. weighing 381ba. to 391 M., but weighed 4011..
per bushel.
Rocnrserr.a, OCT. 16. There are still some farm.
in this neighbourhood where the harvest ie not yet OM,
pleted, the rain, which fell nearly throughout the whole
of last week, having retarded operations and prevented the
crops being garnered. A weelea fine weather would enable
farmers to make a complete clearance of their crop. Hop
picking is now esti/illy completed in this county, but the
yield is even much lees than was anticipated. In the neigh-
bourhood of this city, where some of the finest hop lands in
the comity are to be found, the crop will average only about
2i cwt. per acre, with the hope generally of an inferior
quality. The reports from all parts of the county describe
the present to have been the worst bop year within the
memory of any living. Prime samples of hops are now
fetching exorbitant prices, new Mid-Kenta selling as high
as r.rt. per acre, and the market rising. The duty is still est at
35,000/. There has been *fair amount of businem donein the
corn trade at most of the markets in this district, and the
supply of wheat generally good. Owing to the renewal of
the wet weather, there was a somewhat larger attendance
at this Corn-exchange today, and a fair supply of both
Bggliab and foreiga was placed upon the stands. The trade,
however, ruled slow, and notwithstanding the announcement
0( the large shipments which are being made from America,
holders were firm in demanding an advance of Is. to 2e. per
quarter for the primest samples, but millers refusing to
accede to these terms business WWI very dull. Damp and
hairier samples could be purchased at la. par quarter less
money. Both malting and grinding barleys are very firm,
with Lut little on offer. Oats were taken off 'Lowly at lid.
per quarter advaoce. Bemis and peas, of which there were
but few wimples, are fully es deer. Flour NUS steadily.
