WOOLLFST.—Lisris, Aenuer 20. —We have to report a good
attendance of buyers at the Cloth Has this morning. Several
of the Loudon and Manchester houses have been represented
along with • few Bradford and Huddersfield shipping firms.
The amount of business done has been of a more
eatidectory character than of late. The transfer of tweeds
hat been good; the inquiries for dark shades have been
111.13W11R11, several large parcels h•ving changed hands.

shown • slight improvement ; the parcels which have been made
have not been large as a role, nevertheless • moderate trade has
been done. • few transtetiona have taken place amongst mix-
tures, witneve, and beavers, but not to a large extent. Prices
bare ruled firm.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Bas Droop, APOINt W.—There
has been no improvement in the wool nude during the pest week.
The operations of spinners are chiefly to menet the stocks they
hold. The best lustre wools are still most in dunned, and
are extremely firm in price. Middling and inferior wools, and
especially non-lustrous mils, are greatly neglected, and mese-
mentlyghow loss stability; Alpine, who are amend to realise,
being annetimes inclined to yield a slight concession to secure •
customer. The worsted yarn branch Ws remained quiet. The
home trade matinees somewhat Misfactory, being the beet de-
of the trade. Coloured nuns are in good demand.
WemierTort merchants make inquiry to test priors, and sometime
make offer whirls are too low fee the acceptease of spinners. The
orders received from abroad are very small. There no imme-
diate prospect of • speculative business.. Spinners have many
recent- order In hand, but find ft &Senn to obtain particulars,
which are necessary in order to their completion. They are, how-
ever, generally well employed. There re hardly any change in
prices. The best spinners are my thm, but others show an Loeb-
nation to make • slight ornosesion to secure • customer. The
•ppaaegaee trade remains in a state of torpor. There is little new
harmerdoing. The chief business done bon borne account—
home merchants placing some small orders in fancy goods. There
is little or nothing doing in plain goods. Both,the foreign and
American merchants show an tion to enter the market
'gain for some time to am. Manufacturers, however, are
pretty well employed on old orders Owing to the flemnan iu
both warp and weft, prices are kept quite firm.

HARDWARE.—Brainsosasi, Acover 29.—The trade of this
town has shown a little more activity this week, and many of the
large manufacturers are now tolerably well engaged, without
having much of • supply of ceders beforehand on the books; in
the aggregate, business impetigo not much worse than it usually
hi at this invariably dull semen. In the metal trades no im-
provement has taken place, and for fancy goods generally the
orders in are small. The foreign trade is characterieed by in-
creased activity ; a fair amount is being done to the United States
and to Canada, also to Cuba, but with Tamales and the British
Islands in that quarter business is on a moderate scale. With
the Eastern markets generally our trade is gradually recovering;
orders have been better of late on amount of each of the Indian
Tresidenciee, also to China and Japan. The reports from the
adjoining district of South gtaiordehire and East Woroesterehire
continue to be of a more satidactory character Si to the condi-
tion of trade in those localities.

TUE IRON TRADE. —IDDLEADOIIOI,III, Al'OeiT 29.—
That some improvement has been noticeable in the iron
trade of the north of England is general!), admitted.
There is a better demand for pig iron, owing doubtless
partly to a rise in the Scotch metal, but more to the
fact of the improvement of the foundry trade, then being
ensiderably more doing
.in this department Scotland and
Wales are, however, drawing largely at preent on the Cleveland
iron. Continental thipments, which bad somewhat moderated,
have during the last week received a considerable impetus,
chilly for Northern Prance. Ai:merlons have been lately re-
reived by rail makers, and at present orders are indlleient to
keep all the mills well going. A large make is being turned
out for Russia which will be mostly sent forward before the navi-
gation season is closed, and the question is mooted as to the win-
ter trade. It is believed, however, that generally work will be
found to keep the mills going. Shipments of mils have been of
late very brisk. The plate trade, which has been rather drooping,
is reported to be reviving, and ithipbuilding appears to be mode-
rately active. Bar iron does not show mush better. Prices
generally remained unchanged. The following are ruling today:
—No. 1, 4435. ; No. 8, Os. ; No. 4., 425. In some instances 6d. less
per ton is taken for the better qualities. Par bill ts. per ton more.

condition of the iron trade ham made a t improvement, but

RIADIWI, AU01,117 49.-The market was thinly attended this
m r,g, and not much Marine= was done. Wheat and barley
were rather dearer. Rye about the same. 0 its, very little on
offer, and dear. There was a general tendency to raise the
price of all kinds of grain.
RAM'll ',mu, Arouse 29.-Our city market was fairly Rupp& I
with grain, but there was an absence of &nine kinds, the allow
of wheat being confined principally to secondary lota. The ba lo
generally was inactive, and oaly a limited business was done at
barelyy late rates. Fora few of the bed parcels holders de-
manded a trifle more moory, which, the reluctantly
acceded to by buyers. For white wheat terra. are 56..

kinds, 545. to 565. per' qr. of Cabs. to 641 be. to the bridal.
Bestred wheat, ths. to 56s ; and secondary and inferior, 60e.
to fiffs.jerpetr... In the foreign market there was very little peso-
ing
same as before. Flour was slightly
in favour of buyareas, wthtbequiet demand. Barley tuaintaitse late
natal, a few of the bed pisiziods. of grinding mina
turn dearer,
consequent on the reports of the late yield. The nth trade is
steady, with a fair oonaumptive inquiry. beet parcels fetchtog6d.
per qr. higher rates. Beane and peas both firm. Hop-picking
has now Demme general, and by the end of next week will be
nearly at an end. The estimate formed of the probable yield is
likely to be realised, there being little doubt that the crop will
warmly exceed, even if it comes up to an average yield, while the
quality is hardly so good as that of many former crops.
SVPD 22222 D, AUGUST 29.-There was a tolerable show of wheat
at to-day's eons market, and the condition of the grain was ilTe-
gado% iiineres was steady, and the beat qualities were held at
an advance. White, 60s. to 695. • red, 665. to 58e. per 94 stone.
Not much passing in bark 7. The supply of other kinds of grain
wog small, and the demand was fair at top prices.
Woacurraa, Anomie 29.-We had • good attendance of farmers
at market to-day, who divided their attettical between the sale of
their produce and the opening of the shooting 1.4•11,111. On
Tuesday no great amount of business wan done, but farmers
asked tonne money for wheat, and generally an advantie was
realised of 6d. per bag. Engird. white wheat, 22a. to 23e. ; and

Year, Atmore 29.--The supply of wheat at to-days sane
market was good for the time of the year. The inquiry ruled
healthy, and extreme rates were obtained. New white noes
realised 68s. to 625. • new red, 565. to 56a per 96 stone. Barley
came sparingly to hand and was held at full terms, namely, malt-
ing, 42a. to 445. ; grinding, 40s. per qr. The show of oats was
short, and there was a healthy demand at rater the turn to
tellers' favour-new, 285. to 30s. per 24 stone. The demand for
beam was not over brisk, and the alteration in pries. was unim-
portant : new, 4138. to 6%. per 98 stone. Malt, 67e, to Mc% rye,

corn has been interfered with by the recent rains.
OVILDWORD, AOGVIT 2.9.-Thee was only a moderate quantity
of new wheat at market to-day. Trade was brisk, and an advance

Mimed. Of these 490 passed the wales, at prices tagging

the hops at present cured are fur the most part denote. d temples,
injured by mould or by the wind last week, which did a great
deal more damage than had been anticipated, se shown by the
large quantity of poles thrown down, and by the brown kept

commenced, but will be on in aunts* next week. Some
of the hope in the valley of the Teme are remarkably
fine and will (when the damaged hops arc picked out) be of re-
markable quality; the majority of the samples at meamt shown
