MARKETS.

HARI:MARL—BIRMINGHAM, Ocr. 26.—The general
tone of the reports in reference to the trade is that it is dull,
though there is nothing which can be described as depres-
sion. Whatever of slackness exists proceeds mainly from
the inactivity which pervades the home trade ; the orders
received by the factors are small, and few of the manufac-
turers have many beforehand ; the animus are, however,
for the most part working full time, in some instances
when they are not doing so upon orders, they are making
up goods for stock in the usual feeling of hopefulness on the
part of manufacturers that there meat come a tins, fora brisk
trade, though it may for a time be deferred. The inanima-
tion in the home trade is felt most by the jewellers, and in
all other of those branches which comprise fancy articles,
whatever their description. The electroplaters am not
nearly so well off for orders as usual at this season ; and the
button and pen makers are not even so well situated
in that respect. The glass trade has been dull
during the greater part of the year; in the
metal trades there is more !activity ; in some in-
instanoes the lamp makers and gas.fitters have a month's
orders beforehand. The edge-tool trade is dell, suffering
from the stoppage of business with America. The above are
• few of the principal branches, hut there is such an infinite
variety of trades carried on that it is at all times difficult,
but more especially in such seasons as the present, to arrive
at other than • feoend conclusion as to the state of business
concerns. The iron trade in the adjoining district is steady,
but in no department is there any animation.

TALLOW.—SATURDAT AFTKIINOON.—The market was
firmer to-day at the mimed prices :—Spot, new, 52; to
525. 6d. ; old, 51s. 6d. ; October to December, 525. ; De-
cember, 525. 3d. ; Jeauary to March, 526. 6d. to 525. 9tL ;
March, 535. "buyers" ; April to Julie, 51s. to 51s. 6d.
Deliveries to last evening, 3,147 casks ; arrival; 572 casks.

COTTON.—LryErtroot., Oct. 2g.—There wu no change
in our market to-day, which is steady, at yesterday's prices.
The sales are 15,000 halo (since raised to 20,000), in-
clnodoisf 7,900 American, at 8(d. to 124 d. ; 7,000 Surat,
at 8 to ; 100 Egyptian, at 80. to ;of which
7, are far speculation and export. Today's import ,is
86 bales.

()mom GOODS.—MANCREATER, Ocr. 2G.—The pas-
sage of another week has led to no improvement in this
market. Prices have been raised from day to day by
spinners and niannfacturers, as the cost of cotton has risen,
but there has been great irregularity in the quotations for
yarns and cloths. The upward movement has lessened the
small busiums doing previously in piece.goods, and buyers
are also showing greater indisposition to follow the advance
in yarn which has lately been so much the most active
branch of the market. Spinners are generally without any
heavy stocks, through the operation of the short time
system adopted for several weeks past Purchasers of
yarns for export are confining their orders to the
supply of immediate wants. Copiarus from :.r.ts upwards
seem to have been the most eaarly saleable, where sellers
have not Insisted on extreme rates. Spinners are exceed-
ingly firm, and seem confident of a further progressive ad
vanes in the value of their production, through increasing
darner of the raw material. The tninsactions in .If{ inch
and ell inch shirting' have been curtailed by a general ad-
vance on the highest rates of hat week, and the market for
both is firm but inactive. In many cares, these goods have
been taken out of the market. It is not easy to select from
the varying, otations, but sales have been made of 39 in.
I Ma., 12 pick., at Ba. fid. ; and 39 in. 81 Its. are quoted
10s. 3d. to 10s. tid. Printing cloth has been sold only to a
limited amount this week, the inquiry being checked by ad.
winced rates, and stocks are firmly held. In domestics very
little has been done, and the increasing value of cotton is
bringing manufacturers to contemplate a stoppage of the
production of these fabrics.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lr.zus, Ocr. 26.—We us happy
to say we c.oa report rather more cheerfully of the business
done in the cloth halls this moreing. Although there was
no very brisk inquiry for goods, still there was decidedly
more business done than when we last reported, especially
in the coloured Lail. There was a fair quantity sold of
heavy coatings, sod also of fancy Meltons for the spring.
In the white hall there was a modirate demaud.

CORN.--CAwaßmar., Ocr. 213.—Wheat was Is. lower
than last week, fine barley quite as dear. Wheat, red, MIL
to 61e.; white, Eta; barley, Ma. to 425.; bean■, 40s. ; oats,
Ws. to 28s. per quarter.

• Ocr. 28. fair supply COLCHLITZR, . —A sup,__y of wheat, tho sale
slow, at barely the prices of last day. Of barley, beans, cud
peas the show was small, the latter fully supported their
late value, barley was Is, to 2s. dearer.
- - -

GUILDFORD, OCT. 2G.—There was very little business
doing to-day in the wheat trade, millers requiring • reduc-
tion, which was generally resialed. Heed wheat in great
demand, at price. ranging from 70s. to 765. for white, and
62a. to GG,. for red. Barley Is. dearer. Wheat, 50a. to
70s. Barley, 32.. to 40s. Oats, 21a. to Ns. Peas, 37..
to .19s.

Hinerrotto, ()R. 26.-A fair supply of wheat ; trade
not so brisk, suit prime seemly so good as last week. Only
a moderate supply of barley, sad le. per qr. more was
readily given. Oats firm, arid beam and peas steady sale at
late rates. Wheat, red, 36e. to 38s. ; fine white, 40s.
per load ; barley, grinding, 36a, malting, 425. ; oats,
21:h. to 26e, fine, 265. per qr. ; beans, 24e. to 27a.
per load.
Leicester., Ocr. 26.-The show of wheat was scarcely an
average for the mason, the greater portion of the supply
being of the Dew crop. The demand was firm at late rates ;
new red samples were taken off at 565. to 61s. ; new white,
els to old red, 425. to She, per 36 stone. Of barley,
the supply was tolerably good, and the demand ruled some-
what briek, at a trifling advance on the currencies of the
week previous ; malting, 355. to 365. per quarter ; grinding,
275. to 30s. per 30 stone. There was a fair demand for oats,
sales in which progressed steadily, and in many MK, the
extreme rates of last week were well maintained ; old, 30e.
to 33e. ; new, Vs. to 26e. per 24 stone.
Newcasrut-eeor-Trre, Ocr. 26.-At our market this
morning we had the largest delivery front the growers we
have experienced since harvest, but the demand proving
fully adequate, extra dry qualities were selected at the ex-
treme rates of this day eel:night, whereas parcel* out of
condition, of which the main bulk of the supply consist d,
were taken off quickly at a reduction of Is. per qr. South
country descriptions (uot being plentiful) were held firmly,
but hail sales &en forced rather lower rates must have been
conceded. Considerable inroads having been made upon
granaried stocks of late, factors were careless of sell.
iog either old British or foreign, having a confident
hope in a renewal of the demand shortly ; meanwhile busi-
ness is restricted at about our former currency. Flour was
more sparingly dealt in, still in the sales effected late
1 rates were about sustained. Malting barley was in less
favour, tied all hut the finest descriptions must be written
rather lower; grinding sorts without change. Malt difficult
to quit. Very little transpired in beans or peas. Oats,
being in moderate supply, sold upon much the same terms
as last week. The arrivals this week are :-Wheat,
coastwise, 3,707 qta, ; barley, oosetitise, 2,437 ; malt,
coastwise, 135; oats, coastwise, 125; foreign, 100; flour,
oosatwise, 2,236 sacks.
Bowies, Ocr. 26.-The supple of wheat was sot ex-
cessive here to-day, but the millets were not anxious
buyers. At • reduction, however, of 6d. to Is. per quarter
some quantity chewed bands. Barley was in fair supply,
and last Saturday's rates were fully maintained for all
de-
acriptioos. White wheat, 56e. to 675. ; red ditto, 54e. to
63e. ; beet chevalier malting barley, Ma to 40s. ; nine che-
valier ditto, 36e- to 375. ; secondary chevalier ditto, 35e. to
365. per quarter.
Notrreoliae, Oct. 26.-Then wee a tolerably good show
of wheat on offer from the growers at our corn market to.
day, most of the samples being of fair quality. The trade
ruled dull, at barely the rates of last week. Old white

samples made 495. to 675. ; old red, IN.. to 60s. ; new white,
64.1. to 68e. ; new red, 60a. to 645. per 36 stone. The show
of barley was pretty fair for the wawa, and a fair coo.
sumptive demand being experienced the prices of last week
were rather exceeded ; malting, 364. to 42a. per quarter ;
old grinding, 30s. to 325. per 30 stone. Of oats the show
was moderate, and the trade ruled steady at fully former
rates ; old, :Ns. to Ms. ; new, 245. to 2145. ; old foreign, 28s.
to 30s. per 24 stone.
OxroßD, Orr. 26.—There was a full attendance at market
tonL.y, and samples representing large bulks of wheat were
very numerous, but still there was by no means an eager
dwpoeition to purchase, and it may with justice be called a
dull dear market. White wheat realised from 60s. to 70s.
per quarter ; red, from 48e. to 60s. Barley was plentiful
and in good demand ; all of prime quality changed hands
at prices varying from 38s. to 425. Inferior sold from 321.
and upwards. Oat, were worth from 18e. to 345. Beans,
from 38s. to 48s. Peas, scarcely &sample of either hog or
twine( in the market. Flour, 465. per sack. _ _

. .
PriessomouGH, OCT. 26.—A fair supply of wheat, firm
amnals. made last week's prices ; other sorts L. to 2a. per
qr.lower, A small show of spring corn, and all descrip-
tion. ready way at rather high rates. Best wheat, 60s. to
62a. pe.5041b& ; common, Ms. to 52a. per 4801bs. Oats,
Is. to L. Id. per stone. Beans, 435. to 445. per 5321 tr.

)(IM O, tier. 26. —The attendance this morning was
rather diminished, and the supply of wheat moderate. At
the commencement of the market the demand was ex-
tremely slow, and it appear likely to result in a slight re-
duction in price. In other grain no alteration to notice.
Roamers:a, Ocr. 26.—Wheat came to hand in fair qUall.
titles, and the condition was good. Prices advanced Is to
2e. per qr. ; businetta, however was rather dull, millers and
mealmen appearing indisposed to do business at the en-
hanced rates, and the trade was consequently depressed.
Prime samples of both red sod white of this year's growth
sold slowly at about last week's rates, but there was an
absence of all speculation. Foreign samples are very firm,
and high prices were obtained for best descriptions. In
barley there was very little stirring, and the trade in that
description of grain was dull at about previous terms. Best
parcel for malting were done at 436., and fir grinding
.
Wismar, Ocr. 26.—We are well supplied with wheat
at this day's market, and more spring corn offering. Wheat
has lost the advance of last week, at which there were
buyers. Barley and oats rather dearer. Beans as before.
Prices to the grower :—Wheat, white, new, 58s. to n2s.,
631bs. per bushel ; red, 565. to 60s; oats, new, Ild. to
per stone.

WORCEKTER, OCT. 26.—At this day's market there wse
a large supply of wheat, which could only be sold by sub-
mitting to a reduction of 2e. per qr. Barley held for pre.
vious rates. Oat. dull, with the tura in favour of buyers.
Beans unaltered. Peas tending downwards.
Yoga, OCT. 24.—There was a limited quantity of wheat
on offer from the grower, and in some instances samples
were of indifferent quality. Prices in general ruled the
same as last week. White sorts realised 60s. to 64a. ; red,
565. to 62a. per 36 stone. Of barley the show was rather
improved, and sales took place steadily at fully former
prices, and fine sorts were Is. higher ; malting, 3.%. to 38s.
per qr. ; grinding, 325. to 345. per 30 etone. For oats (the
show of which was middling), the inquiry ruled firm, and
pries had a tendency to harden ; fine, 275. ; secondary, 245.
to 265. per 24 stone.

furtacraor, OCT. f. 6. —We have had rather too much min
this week, which has interrupted occasionally the lifting of
potatoes, although favourable enough for wheat lowing.
We regret to have to report even still more unfavourably of
the progress of the disesee in the potatoes—many in the pita,
selected at the lifting and supposed sound, are now more
than half diseased. At our country markets this week we
bad very moderate supplies of all kinds of grain, farmers
being engaged with potato lifting and wheat sowing.
ready, at ea advance of 2s. per qr. on wheat, and Is. per r.
on barley. Oat, rather cheaper. Here today we had fair
supplies of all kinds of grain, which sold slowly—wheat and
oats at L. par qr. leas than last market day. Barley with•
out change. Wheat, old and new, 425. to 70e.; barley, new,
265. to ; rata, new, 725. to 30s.

WATERFORD, OCT. 26.—We have had small supplies of
farmers' grain this week, but by boat the deliveries have
somewhat increased. The arrivals from abroad and cant.
wise are to a fair extent. Our market has not undergone
any change of consequence since the date of our last ; the
diminished activity then reported still continues, and brui-
sers is limited to the supply of immediate wants. Wheat--
Irish of fine quality commands rather more money. and best
descriptions of foreign are the turn in favour of sellers.
Malting barley 6d. per barrel dearer, bat we note no altera-
tion in the value of grinding. Oats in really good condition
sell readily at full prices, but inferior and ill-conditioned
samples, of which the bulk of the supply consists, can be
had at 6d. tole. per barrel leas money. For Indian corn we
have a more limited inquiry, but former rates are well
maintained. Flour 6d. per sack higher. Imports this
' week :—Wheat, 2,490 qrs. ; barley, 460 qrs. ; Indian corn,
8,915 qre. • flour, 210 sacks. Exports this week:—What,
I,l6oharrels ; barley, ZS ; oats, 9,507 ; flour, 2,004 Backs.

Tan Porsro CROP IN Scirrtalen.—At the Perth
market, on Friday, potatoes were almost unsaleable, as
most dealers are afraid to make purchases, as the esculent
is fast giving way in the pits. So rapid indeed is the decay,
that large quantities lifted about a fortnight ago and pitted
are already scarcely fit even for the farina mill. The prices
obtained for sound potatoes of the best qualities were 12s.
to 14a. per boll of 5 cwt. At the farina mills the price is
se. to ss. 61 per boll.
