MARKETS.

TALLOW.—SaTVRDAY Arranoon.—The market was
firmer today. Annexed are the last prices :—Spot, new,
525.; old, SN. 6d.; all the year, 51s. 6d. offered, 3d. more
asked ; Dec., 525. to 52a. &I.; Jan. to Msrch, 525. 6d. to
534. ; March, 535. to 535. 6d.; April to June, 51s. 6d.
Deliveries to last evening, 2,338 asks ; arrivals, 7,415 casks.

oorroN.—LrvziPool, Nov. 2.—Our market is ex-
tremely quiet to-day, with little or no business doing. The
sales are 2,000 bales, including 1,480 American, Bid. to
124 d. ; 500 Surat, 70. to 10L ; 20 Egyptian, 12d. Of
which 1,000 are for speculation and export. To-day's
import is 4,397 Wm.

COTTON GOODS.—Msircuterm, Nov. 2.—The mar-
ket for piece-goods and for yarns has been firm and inactive
during the past week, only showings little mon movement
in the last day or two. For 20's and BY. water twist (espe-
cially the hitter count, for Bombay), buyers for the East are
offering pretty freely at d. per lb. below spinners' quotations.
Twist and pin cops for the Blackburn market are in many
cues id. per lb. lower than last week. In 32's twist cops,
and generally in yarns, which had risen the most before the
Liverpool cotton market became so quiet, there is now a
proportionate weakness. Both spinners and manufacturers
seem as firm as eve- in keeping up their prices, but they are
undersold by speculators. India 'hidings are now a little
more inquired for. but the transactions in all
kinds of cloth have been to a very limited
amount. The tendency to diminish the produc-
tion continues to gain strength. Returns from 836 of the
mills in Lancashire (not the whole number) show that only
292 of these are working full time ; 76 are working Ave days
a week ; 300, four days ; 119, three days ; and 49 are
stopped ; throwing 8,063 persons out of employment, reduc-
ing 28,F+32 to three days' work, 55,397 to four days, 15,572 to
Ave days, and only leaving 64,393 at fell work, out of the
total 172,257. The above statement is not complete, but
includes approximate returns from Stockport, Oldham,
Rochdale. Todmorden, Bornley,Yreston, Blackburn, Bolton,
Bury, Wigan, and other important seats of manufacture.
Doing the past month the . advance in quotations of cloth,
though very irregular and confused, may be estimated to
have been 4id.todp. ser piece on 7.6ths printing cloths,
3d. to 40. on Nada lams, 4d. to 9d. on 9-Bths printers,
40- to 15d. variously on India and Chins sh;rtings, 9d. on
figured shirtiup and brocades, 2d. to 41(1. on jacoosta and
414. to tkl. on T cloths, 4icl. to I2d. a long cloths,
and id. to Ad. per yard on domestics. American cotton has
in the meantime advanced fully 2d. per pound. Comparing
present prices with those of the Ist March last, the average
(nominaliadvance for yarns aridgoods has notemeeded about
24d. per lb., while American descriptions of cotton have
definitively risen fully sd. per lb.

HARDWARE—Bantu:Gate, Nov. 2.—The trade of
this town is becoming more languid ; very few orders are
coming in, and everybody appeal' to be preparing for •
more general contraction of business operations. This will
in all probability be very keenly felt this month. After-
wards—for • week or two before Christmas—there will, in
all probability, be • little more of animation. At the pre.
sent time all the beet of our staple trades are suffering
more or less from tie depression, but the jewellers are
feeling it the most seriously. In some of the metal trades
there is more i.ctivity. In the brassfoundry and electro-
plating trades there is only • moderate amount of business
doing. The lamp and chandelier makers are better off in
that respect. The tube makers are doing • good besiege,
but the instances of that kind are exceptional. In many
of the minor trades the slackness is felt to • greater
extent, more generally, than it has been for many years.
The iron trade of this locality lupe mentained the little
im-
prorement visible at quarter-day. At this moment the
orders in course of execution are principally on behalf of
home consumers, and are for the best brands of finished iron
of whatever description, for which prices are firm. &coed-
class iron is dull of sale, and low prices have to be acceded
to "here the necessities of parties compel them to prase
sales. For pig iron the price is steady with a fair demand,
sufficient to prevent stocks increasing beyond what they are
at the present time.

Lgiourrga, Nov. 2.—There was a middling show of
wheat on offer from the growers, the supply consisting for
the moat part of new samples. Sales were effected at is. per
quarter more muey; new red made 60s. to 6.55. ; new white,
635. to 67a. ; old red, 48s. to 58s. per 36 stone. There was
a tolerable supply of barley, for which the demand proved
firm, and holders easily obtained the currencies of the week
previous, malting making 345. to 38s. per quarter ; rrinding,
265. to 30s. per 30 stone. Of oat. there wan a fair show,
and buyers operated steadily at the full rates of last week,
and iu some instances rather more money was given ; old,
31a. to 345. ; new, 23a. to 26a. per 24 stone.

Mucous, Nov. I.—We have bad a fair supply of wheat
at market to-day, and MOO as last week. Barley the
turn dearer. Very tail. change in other article,. Wheat,
red, 50s. to 62a. ; white, 00• to 67*. Barley, 30.. to 39a.
Oats, 20s. to 84s.
Nitwommz-uroir-TrNr, Nov. 2.—At our market this
morning we had • much less supply of wheat from the
powers, and having little offering from the stands a clew--
awe was early effected at rather over the rates of this day
se night, south country at the same time fully recovering
from the depression of Tuesday. For the best selected runs
of new Norfolk sad Suffolk red 645. 6d. was paid. extra
yellow being held at 665. per 5041b5. Foreign had more
tone, but the tenacity of holders tended to restrict transac-
tions. As. however, fine qualities are now in moderate
compels, shipments may he freely encouraged. Flour met
rather more attention, bet we are scarcely justified in noting
any advance. Choice malting barley sold at last week's
Paces. hot for any other aorta sales were difficult ; in grind-
in^ little stirring. Malt in moderate request, and all hut the
ant tenderqualitiee must be written rsthercheaper. Boiling
peas rather more inquired for. Oats had rather more tone.
The arrivals this week are :—Wheat, coastwise, 3,156 qrs. ;
foreign, 1,437 ; barley, coastwise, 454 ; malt. cosetwica,
100; oats, coastwise, 1,736 ; flour, coastwise, 1,296 sacks ;
ladies corn, 30 Necks

NORWICH. Nov. 2.—The weather was exceedingly
wet and come here to-day, and there mu cones-
quently rather a thin attendance of farmers, and a compa-
ratively limited supply of wheat, which sold at an adman
of 6d. to Is. per quarter. Barley wan in fair supply, sod
in some instances rather more money was given for all de-
scriptions. Flour was in favour of the seller. White

Norrnectism; Nor. 2.—There was a tolerable show of
wheat today, the quality of which was pretty fair, and
samples were in good coalition. The demand was firm, and
prices were 'quite la. per quarter higher than last week.

42L to 60s. ; new. 595. to 64e. per 36 stone. The supply of

prices of last week were supported ; malting realised 355. to
438. per quarter; grinding, 29a. to 31.. per 30 atom. Of
Gate the slow was by no means large. and sales took place
freely at no materiel chugs io prices ; old, 26e. to 338. ;
new, 245. to 275. ; old foreign, 266. to 304. per 24 stone.
OXVORD, Nov. 2. There was a good attendance at
market to-day, and a fair business done in fine wheats, and
good useful samples were rather in request, but not sum-
eiently so to warrant farmers asking more money, but last
week's rates went fully maintained. Now th►t the malting
season has fairly commenced there is a great demand for
barley of good quality. Such was the case here. and conse-
quently many 'ample' representing large bulks changed
bands. at pee s varying from 341. to 425. per quarter ; oats
were worth from 20a. to 30s.

Pevinsimoucist, Nov. 2.—We had here to-dav • short
supply of wheat, which sold readily at but week's=

RILDINCI, Nov. 2.—There was bat a short attendance at

swamis. Up to the time of going to prima the trade re-
✓aised norainelly in the rune state, and very few sales
effected. In other grain no alteration.
Rocnurrn. Nov. 2.—A1l kinds of corn at this market
were in moderate supply, and business on the whole was
duller than for some time past. Prices have taken a down.
ward tendency, and in order to effect eels. • considerahle
reduction in price bad to be acceded to. Even for the best
ripples last market's rates could scarcely be obtained, and
for other kinds a reduction of Is. to 2s. per quarter was ob-
tained. Best kinds of white were quoUd at Me. to 84s. ;
end red, at 50s. to S. I:rho:rt.? there was awry little
Ma, but previous ratite to be well supported.
grit we pee. to 4. ; and grinding, 28a to 34e.
Oats end oatmeal were both cliilleult to quits and the pekes
of the foram woe is favour of berm

Wistircit, Nov. 2.—The supply of wheat is moderate at
this day's market, with more spring corn. Wheat met •
good demand both for seed and to millers, at ls. per qr.
over last week's prices. Barley, cote, and beans rather o,
favour of the seller. Prices to the grower :—Wheat, white,
new, 60s. to 645., 631bs. per bushel; red, 136 e. to 605.;
oats, new, 11d, to le. per stone.
WORCESTIM, Nov. 2.—At this day's market there was
an increased supply of wheat front the farmers, which sold
readily at the full currency of this day week. Barley
quite as dear, but without any life. Oats a slow sale at
previous rates, and the same remark applies to beans. Afore
doing in pees.
YORK, NOV.'2.—The attendance was pretty good, and the
show of wheat was about an average for the time of the
year. There was more life in the trade at an advanced lc
per quarter. White descriptions were taken off at 60s. to
646. ; red ditto, Ms. to 62a per 36 stone. Of barley the
show was moderate, and there being • fair consumptive de.
mend, prices for fine sorts were quite as high as in the week
previous ; malting may be quoted at Ma. to 40.1. per qr. ;
grinding, Ms. to .Us. per .10 atone. The demand faecal. was
steady, and the show 'being only middling, late rates were
fully sustained ; fine, 20s. ; secoodary, 24.6. to 265. per 21
stone.

KIRKCALDY, Nov. S.—We have favourable weather for
the season of the year, and potato lifting having been
brought to a dome, our farmers are busy wheat sowing ;
with a continuance of such favourable weather a large
breadth of wheat will be put in. :As we reported last week.
in many districts of the county not more than a ton per
acre of mound potatoes will be saved, although in others
they may save from one-fourth to a-half. At our country
markets, this week, we had only moderate supplies of grain.
Wheat and oats a doer ale and Is. per qr. cheaper ; barley
ready male, at le. per 9r. advance. Here, to-day. we had
good supplies of all kinds of grain. Sales slow. Wheat is.
per qr. lower ; barley and oats sold at much about last
day's rates. Wheat, old and new, 425. to 705.; barley.
new, 275. to 38e. ; oats, new, 225. to 31s.
WATIRFORD, Nov. 2.—Our receipts of grain from
farmers and by boat have been on • moderato scale this
week, but we have bad considerable arrivals of foreign,
principally Indian corn. The trade has remained in • dull
lifeless state since the date of our last, buyers limiting their
operations to the smallest possible compass. Wheat, prime
samples of Irish being exceedingly scarce, may be quoted
6d. per barrel dearer, but foreign, for which the demand is
less active, we note 3d. to 6d per barrel lower. Barley
supporta late prices for both malting and grinding qualities.
Oats fit for shipment are in good request at full rates ; but
damp inferior samples are quite neglected, though offered at
• reduction of 6d. to Is. per barrel. With a trifling demand
for Indian corn, prim have given way about 3d. per barrel
the last day or two. Flour difficult to buy at our previous
quotations. Imports this week :—Wheat, 840 qrs. ; Indian
corn, 14,100 qrs. ; flour, 150 lacks. Exports this week :
Wheat, 550 barrels ; barley, 600 ; eats, 4,845 ; dour, 1,150
sacks.
