The overseer observed that prior to the publication of the

up, but was told there were none. lle then wrote down the
applications as they were made, and sent them to the proper
authorities, but somehow or other they had been unat-

would apply to the cases in dispute.

COTTON.—LmntrooL, Orr. I.—The market closed
way tamely, without change fu prices. The sales have been
estimated at 6,000 balsa, 600 on speculation ; comprising
100 Possum and Manaltam, 04d. to 1045; 100 Egyptian,
1145. to I9d. ; 1,000 Surat, sd. to 844. ; and 40 NS
Wanda, 165. to 195. per lb.

WOOL AND WOEBTED.—BRADFOItn, OCT. I.—Tbe
transactions to-day, as during the past week, have in wool
been very limited. There is little or nothing doing in either
English or foreign wools. Bright haired wools are met in
request, and these barely maintain late quotations. The
supply of wool of all kinds is very abundant, and there is no
doubt that where there is a prospect of ready money, they
may be obtained on easier terms. Neils and blokes sze
steady, both ss regards demand and prices. In yarns the
dulness we have had to notice for some week. past continues.
The great houses are inactive, waiting the result of the
Lelpdc fair, which is now being held. In • week at two
more animation may be expected, giving buoyancy to the
prices of worsted yarns, which, at present, are not commen-
surate with the cost of production. Cotton warped ill kinds
are exceedingly quiet, but firm in price. In pieces the
market is a dull one. There is not an average attendance of
merchants, and manufacturers complain of flatness. The
productions are too costly at the present prices of
worsted and cotton, and few are inclined to manu-
facture goods, except to order, and with the prospect also of
obtaining an advantage in doing so. The bads, indeed, is •
profitless one, except in some descriptions of fancies, sash as
plaids. which will receive a demand for the winter season.
The Chamber of Commerce for this district have again had
under their consideration the question of the alleged loss of
some portion of the flue trade, but it appears that the allege-
don had arisen out of entire misconception. The returns of
the Board of Trade show beyond the passibility of question,
that for many years past the trade of this district has been
wetly on the increase, both in exports end imports, and libel
that a progressive increase has taken place in the quantity of
foreign wools retained in the country for home consumption.
The very last returns of the Board of Trade exhibit the
same fact; indeed the result is a most cheering evi-
dence of the triumph of the free-trade policy. Ever
since 1824 (the year before the export duty was re-
moved) there has been a progressive increase in the imports
and exporta of wool. Buyers from the continent take an in-
creasing quantity of wool from the English market; but the
quantity brought increases also, as does the quantity re-
tained for home consumption. The inference is that Eng-
land is the world's market for wool, of which her own menu-
fachumrs use an ever-increasing quantity, while the foreigner
takes a large share. In 1843 we retained 42,243,86111 e. of
foreign wool for home consumption, and in 18.5.5 we retained
86,639,000165. The Chamber have ordered etatistica to be
produced to exhibit these facts and remove some misconcep-
tion as to one sapwood partial loss of the fine trade.

NEWBURY, Oct. 1.-1411 had this day a largo supply of
wheat, which, being more than wen required, led to a dull
trade, at barely the prices of last week. A better supply of
barley, which realised fully late rates. Oats, beans, and
peas ezatedingly dull.
Clanton; Oct. I.—The supply is short, and the trade
acts... Wheat is la. to 2e. per qr. blither, and barley the
tuts dearer. Oats and beans unchanged in value.

THE CORN TRADE.—Blemixonse, Orr.l.—During
the past month, we have had a tolerably liberal supply of new
wheat from our farmers; in the early port they obtained a
Blight advance In peke; subsequently Its value has been
somewhat dept erd ; the growers however show great re-
luctance to accept less money, and PO far as we can judge
they are generally more disposed to hold over than sell at our
present quotations. The weather has been, with little ex-
ception, very favourable for recuring the late harvest, and
though the remit of thrashing confirms the opinion that the
crop on the good soils is a full average one in quantity, the
quality and condition are generally such, that judging by the
procipnons state of the agricultural interest, and the high
priers of other produce, it is hardly likely that lower
rates than the present wi'l bring a sufficient supply to
market; eepecially as we believe our miller% are
still light in stock. Tho genend reports of the
sleet crops in the South of Europe and the
United State* continuo decidedly favourable, but we do not
anticipate any very large snivels before the end of the year,
tea the export from Italy, where the chief stock of old wheat
lies, us still prohibited. Though the monetary preware in
the United State, caused a material decline there, and conse-
quently considerable shipments to the United Kingdom,
Chiefly to Liverpool, by the last accounts an advance In
price had taken place, and also a rise in the rates of freight,
together equal to about 4a. per quarter. We think the
Auterinin fanners, like the English, are too prosperous to
part with their produce at low rates, although it is reported
that the agriculturists there are to some extent involved in
the speculations which have caused the financial crisis in the
United States. Prices in the Sea of Asoff have advanced to
nearly • par with ours in consequence of the stocks being so
comp letelyelbsusted, that a great part (probably three-fourths)
of the vessels chartered and seeking freights then will have to
return in ballast, or obtain loading elsewhere. The French
Emperor ham extended the term of free import Into France to
September, 1858, accompanied by an intimation that he may
also prohibit tin export. The pram in France have declined
for wheat, barley, and beans I.oe. per quarter below on,
which indicates their crop must be a full average, and nearly
or quite enough for their own eonsnmptien. It wears pro-
bable that the United Kingdom alone will require consider-
able supplies. If this prove to be the case, amply mafficient
for our wants will, there is little doubt, he found at our pre-
sent prices—vix , tad English wheat, 7e. to Is. 6d.; white,
7s. 4d. to Se.; Gbirka, 7s. Id. to 7.. 44.; Saxanka, 7s. 4d.
to 7s. 6d. ; Konigsberg mixed, 7e. Bd. to 7a. 10d. per 62 Res.
at Birmingham. Potatoes in this and some of the neigh-
bouring counties are more diseased than in any year due
1846; even the sound sues in many cases rapidly decay after
they are dug up. But we do not beer many complaints from

Scotland, and only from some of the counties on the coast of
Ireland ; in the interior the crop and quality are said to bored.
Barley has rather declined in price during the month, with
lees demand fur grinding descriptions. This is probably
owing to so many dimmed ptoe• being mad g feed-
ing. Heavy qualities are held at 36.. to 375., f
light, 29,. to
32e., per 3921b5., at Olonceeter. Them have been rather
more arrivals of oats at Gloucester, principally black and grey
I i sad prices have given way fully la. per qr. on all Mi•
seriptions of new whilst old, which are become very scarce,
firmly maintained their maw. New grey sell at 261,
to 275., black. Ms. 6d. to 265. 6d., white 275. to
295. pee 3121b5., at Gloucester (old Dutch 325.).
English beans have been sold freely by farmers at
our quotations, and so they ace lower than either
Egyptian or other foreign, few of the latter have changed
hand, but the stock is light, and not many on pareage.
New English are nearly perfect, both in quality and con-
dition, and we do not hear much complaint of the produce.
Owing to the quantity of damaged potatoes, peas have also
been lam in demand the last month than previously, and
prime have not redid. White bring 16s. 6d. to 18s., grey
16s. per 196 lbe., Gloucester. The arrivals of Indian corn
into Gloucester have lately been considerable, it sells there
freely at 16e. Col. per 196 lbs. We continue to have a good
demand for millet at 12s. to 12s. 6d. per 196 lbs. at
Gloucester; this is still much the lowest article by weight
for feeding purpoess.—From Messrs. J. end C. Sturge's
