dually advancing, and closing thmly at Id. per lb. higher

corm:: GOODS.—MANCHEATER, OCT. 2,l.—The tm,l"
of this district is one becoming daily surrounded with le-
avening difficulties. The cloth trade is contracting within
the narrowest limits. In a general way manufacturers fiat
it impo.sible to get anything lake remunerative price., nod
those with capital ale either stocking their goods with the
intention of holding them for higher prices, or are quietly
working op their cotton with the intention of locking up
their milk The smeller manufacturers, self-made
who have started within the last few years of prosperity,
with a limited capital, are of course obliged to sell, mid
stopping with these means winding up their concerns finally.
With such, in many cases, the prices of Carus being within
the smallest fraction of what they can twine for cloth, the
alternative is being resorted to continually, and we hear
of many of them closing or being about to close
their mills. Yet, generally speaking, we find no
unsoundness, the good trade for some years past having
placed manufacturers in a position to meet the present
crisis. With regard to the cloth market to-day, we hear
of hardly any business doing. Manufacturers continue to
ask higher prices, endeavouring to follow the rise in the
price of cotton, but unfortunately not finding buyers in the
same spirit. Advances are given in a few instancei
for favourite makes of cloth, and not in large supply, but
these are only exoeptional cases. We bearof rather more doing
in shirting for India and China shirting' in some quartets,
bat the aggregate business done has been nothing to speak
of, even as compared with the present limited production.
The yarn market continues very strong. Prices have daily
advanced since Tuesday, and are now id. per lb. dearer all
round. By wine houses this advance is freely paid, whiht
others are asking from ld. to 2d. per lb., and some refuse
to sell at all at the terms practicable. Spinners appear ti
adhere to their prices with more firmness than ever, and
buyers are operating pretty freely where anything is offeml
under extreme rates.

CORN.—BawroL, OCT. 24. —At our market there was •
moderate supply of English wheat, which sold slowly at last
week's rates. Foreign firmly held, but few transactions re-
ported. There has been a considerable business
.peasi•g in
malting barley through the past week at improving prices ;
to-day the high pretensions of holders somewhatchecked busi-
ness, and the trade closed dull at as advance of Is. to 2s. per. qr.
grinding without change. Fine oats firm ; inferior and new
difficult of disposal, at a reduction of 6d. per qr. Arrivals—
Wheat, coastwise, 15 qrs ; oats, Irish, 2,290 qrs • coast-
wise, 412 qrs. Barley, Irish, 31 qr• ; coastvnse, 1,056 qrs.
Beans and peas, foreign, 2,958 qrs. Flour, coastwise, 1,200
sacks; foreign, 2,529.

CHiL111151;1113. OCT. 25.—There wee only a mmodemts
supply of wheat at our roaket to-day, and a fix
demand at rather over last week's rates, best reds making
625. to 645. ; white, 645. to 665. ; extra, 675. Beaus, Is. to
2s. dearer. Barley, best malting rather dearer, making
395. to 42a. . _

LINCOLN, Ocr. 25.—With a small supply of wheat our
market was firm at last week's rates. Bed 595. to 62, ;
white, 625. to 665. Barley was Is. higher for melting, but
grinding was the same as last week, 355. to 40s. Very litt:e
passing in beans and oats at late rates.
LIVERPOOL, Ocr. 25.—At this day's market wheat suf.
fered a further slight reduction, bringing quotations 3d. per
cental below last Friday, and at this decline a fair business
resulted. Fine qualities of flour, from scarcity, were difficult
to be bad cheaper, but inferior grades were 61. per barrel
against seller. Indian corn had a good inquiry both for cos-
sumptiou and to hold over at the decline of Is. per quarter
noted above. Oats and oatmeal steady at extreme prices.
Egyptian beans have given way Is. per quarter, and peas
gone up la Indian corn has been thu article in moat de-
mand to4lay, and prime mixed has brought 3d.. ex quay
without difficulty, and at the close of market it was held
for 33a. 6d.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. 25.—The wheat trade is dull, nod,
there being a good show to-day, millers are able to buy even
the finest new wheat on rather easier terms, while the
general run must be quoted Is. per quarter lower than List
Friday. Old is unchanged in value, but the demand is
limited to good and sound parcels. Barley is held for the
extreme rates of last week but =haters take only the
finer sorts. Beans, oats, and ;belling unchanged. Aveine,
week ending Oct. 21 :—Wheat, 4,65 U quarters, at 595. 3d. ;
barley, 1,331, at 37a. lid. rye, 5, at 33a. ; beaus, 42, at
455. ; pease, 50, at 303;.
