COTTONoooDB.—ltaxeserria, ieLY 14.—The market for
cotton yarn and cloth has been exceedingly at and depressed
daring the whole of to-day. There appeared to be a little inure
disposition to purchase for export in the morning, but the prices
offered were too low, and sellers are not inclined at present to
make so considerable a conconion as these offers imply. The
home trade yarn market has been very languid. Friday's prices
are demanded by spinners, but a concession would be necessary
where business of any magnitude was in question. Buyers
say that practically they have found prices 4d.
lb. in their favour, as compared with last week. The
cloth market remains unaltered in all general charac-
teristics since last Tuesday. Offers have continued to be made,
but on a lower scale, although they have in few cured only led to
business, and for very small quantities. Still, the prices of goods
have palpably tended in the buyers' favour. Fabrics suited for
the markets of India seem to be especially neglected, and buyers
for these markets virtually decline to do business. The market
to-day is of the same character as that we have been describing
as having prevailed ever since lest Tuesday. Lower prices have
been offering, and in some instances concessions have been mules
to effect males of Bjlb. skirtings There iv, however, no general
buriness, and the market clines with a lower wale of quotations,
and a general feeling of depression.

WOOLLEN.—Lsaos, Jute 14.—We bate to report a tolerably
good attendance of buyers at the cloth halls this morning. A
kw out-town houses have been reprosentexi, including some
Bradford and Huddersfield firms in connection with the shipping
trade. The amount of hastiness which has been done has not,
however, been fully in accordance with the attendance, although,
in vane instances, moderately good parcels have changed hauls,
and the inquiries for winter fabrics are becoming more general.
in the coloured cloth hall the transfer had been of a a:Micelle-
mous character. Attention may, perhaps, be said to have been
di-
tect, mostly to tweeds and union Doltons in shades suitable
for the fall trade. Plain clothe and coatings have been tnuriferred
to a moderate amount, but the week' have not been large ones.
Bairlista have been in fair request in the White market. Me-
dium itud better qualified have been mostly inquired after, and
in a few instances have changed bands to a tolerably fair
amount. The transfer of mediums has nut been Large, and
only in isolated esses have transactions of importanee taken
place. The heavier claws of goods of the Bartley and Oisett
manufacture, arc now in good request in this market. Beavers and
Wiliam., in varieusahades of plain and mixture colour., have met
with yruchasera ; and all hough caution is exercised in the selec-
tions from these makes, en improvement has lately been apparmit
which we trust will continue throughout the season, as the fall
trade hoe now fairly commenced. Prioese have been iirTIL As to-
day has been advertised as the bast market day on which business
win be transacted in the Old White Cloth Ball, it is now closed
ao far as the transfer of woollen clothe is concerned. The various
manufacturers who hold stake in this market will commence
making preparations for the removal of their stocks to the New
Market Ball, in King-street, where the business which has
hitherto been carried on in the present market will be transferred,
next Saturday being the opening day.

COlihi.—lamos, Jots It —The weather continues brilliantly

of tlte iriemmingforor reports of the growing crops of wheat,
