MARKETa.

COTTON.—Lirturuol., Almon 31. —We hare had a
fair market today, at yesterday's prices. The sales are 10,000
bales, including 8480 American, at 60. to tud. ; t,tloo Surat,
at 50. to ad. ;'2OO Egyptian, 90. to 13d. ;20 Pernam, at
90. ; 300 Maranham, Nd. to 91d. ; of which 5,000 are
for speculation and export. Them is no import to-day.

COTTON GOODS.—Manctunerin, Amnia 31.—The
market is in much the mine state 4U, at the close of last
week. The business in yarns since then has been of limited
amount, and in piece goods very inconsiderable. The ex-
citement at Liverpool has led manufacturers and spiunersto
advance their quotations, but here the rise is almost
nominaL Sellers of yarns have been dispored to stand out
for the higher figures, and refuse to de Wainer rather than
accept previous rates. Manufacturers are more anxious to
sell, but the inquiry is generally confined to offers too low
for acceptance. Home trade yarns are dull, and Black-
burn twig and pineope seem rather unsteady. Mule
yarns for India Lave bees in improved request, ►t full rates.
There is not much doing for Germany or in other yarns for
export. Doubled yarns are well supported. The general
tone of the yarn market is one of quiet firmness, with great
caution on the part of buyers. Piece goods of nearly all
sorts continue very difficult to sell, and measures are being
taken in earnest to limit the production. The working of
mills only four days a week is becoming a very general rule.
The unfavourable advice@ from India cause shirting" to be
neglected, XI inches being almost unsaleable, and 311 inches
also very quiet. Printiug cloth has been quiet, without
change of price. All kinds of domestics have been inactive.

HARDWARE—Brawls:mut Arcrsr 3L —The reports
as to the state of trade in this town are this week decidedly
more favourable ; the factors, who are most extensively
engaged in the home trade, are giving out more milers to
the manufacturers, sod in ninny of the staple trades the
men are working full time instead of four days. After the
harvest is over there appears to be no doubt but that trade
will gill further rally, inasmuch as in the agricultural dis-
trict.' the shopkeepers are ordering only moderately. The
fancy trades are still for the most part dull, but the tube-
makers, loam founders, metallic bedstead makers, and some
of the tool makers are getting business; and a feeling is
becoming general that trade is at length about to revive in
every• department. In the adjoining district of South
Staffordshire and East Worcestershire the manufacturing
trades are dull ; but the iron trade is decidedly better.

CORN—CAweRIDGI, AUOURT 31.--A moderate 'ripply
of wtmat, which was taken off at from 3. to 3s. per qr.
more money thou last week. A few samples of barley,
which were sold at from 34a. to 365. per qr. Weather very

qr. Some new barley on sale; the prices obtained were
hardly equal to those of last week.

GUU.I4OHD, AUGUST :31.--The supply of new wheat to-
day was limited-sellers succeeded in obtaining an advance
of Is., and a good clearance was made of low qualities of

LEICESTER, Atat.,r 31.-There was a fair show of wheat
today but the supply from the growers was limited, many
of them being actively engaged in the harvest field. The
demand for wheat was good, and farmers succeeded in
obtaining higher pnces for good aorta of new wheat. Old
qualities were dispose:to( at 50a. to 52e. ; new made 55.. to
ties. ; fine ditto, IP.N. per 38 stone. Of barley the supply
was hardly an average, and the tooe of the trade proved
quiet at le. over the currencies of the week preceding,
malting being disposed of at Ws. to 40s. per qr., while
grinding made 30a. to 33a. per 30 stone. Oats Caine to
market more freely, the quality being exceedingly floe, and
choice lots were disposed of at the full rates at last week ;
old, 30s. to 31s. ; new, 255. to 293. per 24 stone. There was
a small show of beans, which were in fair condition, and
the inquiry ruled firm at Is. advance in prices, fine making
43a. to 4tis. ; secondary, 335. to 425. per 3d stone. Fine old
flour radioed 445. ; seconds, Ma. to 40s. ; thirds, 3iis. per
sack.

NL'WCARTLE-CPON•TYNR, Arrow 31.—At our market
this morning, owing to our farmers being engaged with har-
vest
work, we had an extremely insignilicaut supply of
wheat from the growers, amongst which we observed
only three samples of the new crop, quality unexceptionable, 1
but condition for the most part moderate, and the bed, lot
was said to hare been sold at 625., whilst a clearance of
old was effected at as advance of 2.. per qr. upon tho de.
rates of this day se'unight. In south country old a
air business was done at an improvement of
Is. to 2s. per qr., Suffolk yellow, not extra,
realising rks. • Norfolk, from 525. to 545., ac-
cording to quality; and a choice cachet Norfolk,
of Suffolk
white 59a. lid. ; extra new, on the other hand, being quoted
fully 2s. higher upon the week ; select white touching 64. ,
all per 5041 l e. ; and red 625. In old foreign transactions
to a fair extent occurred, secondary being fully 2s. higher ;
whereas, upon extra descriptions no improvement was
wacticsible, although the demand was more animated.
Flour was held more lirmly, but in its value we note
little variation. For barley there was little inquiry. Malt
unchanged. In beans and peas little doing. Osts may lie
written a shade dearer. The arrivals this week are :
Wheat, coastwise, 2,217 qrs.: rye, coastwise, 22; barley,
coastwise, 20 ; mall, ooastwise, 321 • oats, coastwise, 453 ;

Norrixonan, AUGUST 31.—There was a pretty tolerable
show of wheat, comprising a sprinkling of old and new
sorts. The latter were of k;txxl quality, as well aa being in
fair condition. The trade ruled firm, and prices were fully
la. higher than the preceding week, with good demand.
Old white descriptions were taken off at 475. to 645. ; new
ditto, 595. to 62 ; old red, 38s. to Ws. • new, 355. to 59..
per 36 stone. There was a middling supply of barley, the
inquiry for which although slow was steady, and the prices
obtained were about the same as those of the week preceding ;
old grinding making 28s. to 31s. per 30 stone. In malting
there was not much doing. The supply of oats was mid-
dling, the show comprising loony of the new samples,
which were generally of good quality, and recent rates were
well maintained-24a. to 27e. per 24 stone ; old sold slowly
at 265. to 35e. ; foreign, 26e. to 30s. per ditto. Beans came
to band sparingly end with a steady feeling in the trade ;

ON FORD, AUGUST 31.—There was • lar supply of corn
on show here, and uu active inquiry or new wheat ; •
great deal of which changed hoods at • small advance on
last week'apricee. Old wheat was quite *drug in the market.
New barley, the trade for whkh has scarcely commenced,
ruled from 3.5 e. to 40a. rHa beans, from 40s. to ads. A
sample of new beaus was showing, for which the price asked
was 4(h. Flour (sec. nda), 31M. and 40• per sack. The
disease amongst the later kinds of potatoes, we are happy to
nay, is not so virulent so it was amongst the earlier kinds ;
the yield is most abundant, and in sane and quality uncom-
monly good.

PETERBoRoI'4III, A i'cumr our market to -day we
had a large supply of wheat, which met a ready sale at

READING, APCIIIiT :11.—Thee was a better supply of
wheat at our market this rniug, and in excellent con-
dition. Although the attendance wa,. not very large, yet
there was much spirit in tho market, and a very fair
quantity of wheat exchanged hands at an advance of Is. to
2s on last week's prices.

R(14.14E87,11, AUGUST 31.—The stands at this corn ex-
change were pretty well supplied with both old and new
grain, for whielt there wa+u steady demand, mostly for the
new, which sold at the same terms as those of last week.
Old kisds were almost neglected, and to effect sales holders
had to submit to a decline of shout Is. per quarter. Best
samples of foreign supported previous quotatiosa, with a
quiet trade. The supply of barley was small, and only a
fow samples of this aeit..on's crop stem exhibited. There wee
little doing for either malting or grinding kinds, and most
of that brought to market remained unsold. Good oats
met with a steady sale at full prices, but inferior could not
he got rid of. Beans and peas were each a trifle cheaper.
The price of flour has been reduced Is. per sack.

AUGuer 31.—At our market today we had
but a small supply of now wheat, the farmers being busy
in the fields, which mole an advance of 2a. to 3s. per qr.
upon the prices of last week. Very few oats showing, and
prices about the same. Prices to the grower :—Wheat,
white, sew, to Ms., I;3lhe. per bushel; rtd, 545. to

a better supply of new Engli.li when:, but not sufficient for
the demand, and we quote an advance of Is. to la. 6d. per
qr. tfid English unaltered, but American was Is. per qr.
dearer. Grinding barley and oats in moderate demand, at
last week's prices. Beans and peas dull, but not lower.
