LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrnrctixn, Ocr. 31—
There has been again a slight improvement in the lace
trade, but its effects are only partially felt in the town,
A few orders Lave been placed for the spinning trade at
home, and one or twoAmericuiandContinental buyenhave
been dealing to a small extent. There is no demand yet
for plain pods, but there are more inquiries for chlny and
guipure laces. Yarns have been quite firm during the
week..—There is no material change in the hosiery trade.
The mild weather has rather checked the demand for
winter goods. Some kinds of yarns have been a little
harder to buy.—Nottieghant Journal.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADPORI), Om ;I.—There
are conflicting accounts as to the state of the wool market.
Some staplers say there is more inquiry, while others say
there is none. The inquiries however are without doubt
confined to spinners, who bare taken a few orders which
they seek to cover with wool The market is not so gloomy
as on Youday, and is much less cheerful than on Thursday,
The better sorts of wool which are most in demand are
steadier. The firmness of last Thursday is only partially
maintained, the depression at the beginning of the week
having tended to produce some slight rreaknore and
irregularity. The same contradictory accounts are observed
in wonted yarns. While some represent the market
as decidedly fiat, others say that there is a fair inquiry for
some sorts of two-fold yarns, via, fars, 32'5, and :pi's, also
for 40's single, for Russia. Inferior sorts of two-folds
continue to be neglected. Some few of the leading spinners
are still fully employed. Quotations are irregular. The
piece trade is equally dull. The unfavourable accounts
from America, the high price of corn, and the quiet state
of the cotton market at Liverpool have a tendency to check
business in plain geode. The home houses are placing
orders in fancy goods for spring. The export merchants
place few speculative orders. Everyone is acting with the
greatest caution. Prices do not improve.

CORN.—BIRMINGHAN, OCT. 31.—At this day's market
there was a less supply of wheat, which sold slowly at
rather over previous currency, but we make no alteration
in our quotations. Barley in demand at last week's rates.
Oats only taken in limited quantities. Beans and peas
firm.

Baisroc, OCT. 31.—Arrivals this week are heavy of
foreign wheat and barley ; of other articles moderate. The
corn trade has been characterised by considerable anima-
tion through the week, with prices daily advancing.
Within the last day or two, however, the excitement has
gradually subsided. On our to-day's market there was a
fair supply of English wheat, which sold slowly at la. per
qr. advance. Foreign in very limited inquiry, buyers
having supplied their immediate wants earlier in the week.
Malting barley in full supply, and Is. per qr. lower.
Grinding steady, at former prices. Oats attracted scarcely
any attention, and values gave way tid. per qr. Indian
corn ls. per qr. lower. Beans firm.
Devizes, OCT. 31.—We had a brisk demand to-day for
all bearqualities of wheat, and fine dry samples produced
Is. more money than last week. Of such samples there
was a good clearance ; but damp lots remained on band.'
Bsrley was in fair supply, and best samples made last
week's prices ; but inferior parcels were rather in favour
of the buyer. Other articles as before quoted. Best white
wheat, Me. to 40s. ; best red ditto, 375. 6d. to 395. 6d.•
new ditto, 365. to 395.• barley, 345. to 475.; beans, Va:
to 28s. ; oats, 21s. to 325. ; peas. 21s. to 25e. • vetches.
245. to 295. ; rye, 19s. to 21s. ; fine flour, 565. to 595.;
best seconds, 545. to 565.
bLurcuzsrzu, Ocr. 3L—Our market this morning was
tolerably well attended, but there was not much disposi-
tion for business on the part of buyers. English wheat
met a slow sale, at an advance of le. per quarter, and
foreign at 3d. to 4d. per rental more money. Flour was
held for full prices, but the demand was limited. In oats
or oatmeal there was no change. Egyptian beans were Is.
per quarter higher, while English merely ruled steady.
Indian corn was likewise Is. per quarter dearer.

NEWARK, OCT. 30.—The shoW, of wheat was by no
means large. The trade was healthy, and an advance of
2a. per qr. was obtained. Fine barley made about late
rates ; interior a little lower. Demand for oats fair, at
rather more money. Beans were steady.
NEWBURY, Ocr. 31.—Onr market was well supplied
with wheat. The trade very slow. Fine parcels fetched
la. more than last week. Barley a steady sale, at Is. to
2s. per qr. lower. Oats moved off at la. more money. No
change in beans.

UIBRIDOT, Oer. 31.—The supply of wheat is large, and
the trade good at 2a. per qr. advance on last week's prices.
Spring oorn is short in supply, and all aorta maintain the
previous value.
EDINBTRGH, OCT. 30.—As compared with last week,
wheat was same on top, and ds. 2d. up on average ;
barley was Is. up on top, and Is. up on average ; oats were
le. up on top. and 2d. down on average ; beans were
4s. down on top, and Is. :id. down ou average. Wheat,
475. to tige. ; barley, Ms. to 45a. ; oats, 245. to 375. ;
beans, 475.

CATTLE.-Biusroc, Ocr. 31.-We again had a large
' supply of !stet at our market to-day although it was not
quite so large as last week, holders keeping back in con-
sequence of the dull sales of the past few weeks. There
ware purchasers from Kent, Southampton, and other
places, but trade remained dull at last week's prices, best
descriptions realising from 65a. to 68e. per cwt., and
middling and inferior sorts from 60s. to 635. The supply
of sheep was also large, though the pens were not so full
as last week. Trade was dull, and things changed hands
at the low rates which have recently prevailed. Very
good mutton was bought at 6d. per lb., but a more average
figure for best wethers was 611., and for light, small sheep
the quotations were • shade higher. The supply of store
cattle consigned from Ireland was rather limited, and owing
to the presence of the eastern counties buyers, trade was
more active, a clearance being effected without difficulty.
There was scarcely anything doing in store sheep, but a
few lambs arc wanted for the winter, and they would
command high prices. A moderate *how of mach cows of
indift erent quality, but good descriptions, were in request
at firm prices ; from 161. to 221. was an average figure for
those on offer. A short supply of pigs, with a rather
active trade at last week's prices. The show of horses was
unusually good, but there were scarcely any purchasers,
and only a small business was done.
NorriNGliam, Ocr. 30.-There was only a middling
supply of beasts, but quite enough for the demand, the
rates being from its. to Be. Gd. for best quality, and for
aecond ditto from 71. to tts. A good show of sheep
realised rather lower prices, from 6d. to 62d. being given
for superior quality, and for coarser sorts from 51d. to 641.
Veal fetched from 71d. to Bd. per lb. Porket pigs were
bought at from Gs. 3.1. to tis. 9d. ; and bacon pigs from
Ga. 3d. to Ga. 6d. Cattle at market :-Wednesday: Beasts,
252 ; sheep, 1,024; pigs, 9.
EDINBCRCH, OCT. 30.-The number of cattle this mom-
ing was less than on this day se'nnight, there being 344, or
a decrease of 105 bead. The demand was good, and •
good clearance was effected, at prices fully higher than
those obtained at last market. Top price of the beet
beef, Bs. 3d. ; current, Bs. to Ba. 41. ; middling and in-
ferior. Gs. Gd. to 7s. 6d. per atone. The supply of sheep
was also leas, the number being 6,148, or 1,372 fewer than
last week. The demand was good, and last week's prices
were fully maintained. Beet mutton, 61d. to 6fd., and
down to 6.1. ; Cheviot ewes, sd. to 51d. ; blackfued, 41d.
to sd. per lb. Fed pigs brought fa. 6d. to 6a. 6d. per
stone ; six to eight weeks old do., Bs. to 10e. s bead.
