SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER.

NOTTINGHAM, MoNDAY.—Considerablesonsation was
created yesterday in the neighbourhood of the Castle, in
consequence of the body of another child being found in
a dyke near the river Leen. _

A short time ago Mr. Oswald Garratt, a joiner, ob-,.
set Ted near the same place a dark -coloured bag, in pos-
session of a man who was waalsktionng. that way in company
with a boy. After tying to the bag the man
threw it into the water, and the boye

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
MAlDsTors.—The weather has not been so. genial
during the last week. The hops, however, in some
grounds come out, in others they seem to hang. The
season is rather late, which is not in favour of a crop.
Much depends on the next fortnight. Mould does
not seem so fatal. as was feared ; there is, however, in
many parishes far too much. If the weather should

—3d. on all sums not exceeding 21.; and 6d. on all
sums between 21. and 51., must be invariably made by
postage stamps transmitted with the application for
transfer or re-payment,. and unless the amount be so

buyers was looked by many ; but, taking the de-
partments of both yarns and goods, a general firmness
is found to prevail,
and in some articles, particularly
oh for
certain kinds
of yarns, a disposition to greater
tightness is observable.
in
bl There are exceptions (as,
.
spinnings specially
for instance, adapted to the
Indian trade, which remain flat) ; but that ten-
dency, on the whole, to a gradual gain in price
which we have had to note for a length of time,
ja not unperceived to-day in the medium counts of
twist and weft for home consumption, and even in the
Garman descriptions of twist; whilst the finer spin-
flings still exhibit a more decided bias in that direction.
From the continental houses the spinners find rather
more inquiry. But still the operations of the day,
though of fair, are not of great aggregate extent. For
domestics the demand is growing, especially from the
home buyers, who are also found by the makers of
shirtings and good printing cloths to be doing a not
inconsiderable amount of business in those fabrics.

ROCHDALE, 1-10-.;DA Y.-- We have had a very fair
demand for low priced goods, but pieces of finer
quality have not met with so ready a sale. Upon
the whole there has been an average amount of bu-
siness transacted at former prices. The wool dealers
have light stocks on hand, and say they cannot re-
place those stocks to sell at the present price.
_MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for silk
manufactured goods is somewhat irregular; but, on
the whole, the market appears to be in a more
healthy state than it has been for some time past.
The thrown silk market continues healthy, and trans-
actions of the past week have been to a fair extent,
both for home and continental purposes.—Raw silk
market : We have no particular feature to notice.
Prices are reported without any alteration.—The
Macclesfield weavers are now without any trade re-
gulation as to prices paid, which are left to the
natural influences of supply and demand. Two
attempts have been made to call meetings on the sub-
ject, but they have been treated with indifference by
the weavers generally.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—OHT Piece Hall has been
but thinly attended by buyers. The manufacturers
are asking higher prices, to meet the advance upon
yarn ; but they are not generally able to obtain them.
The tone of the yarn market is improving. The
spinners are full of orders, and the quotations are a
shade better. Wool is scarcely so active, and prices
remain as they were.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--There has been a
moderate attendance of buyers in the town to-day,
but their transactions have not been very heavy. On
the whole, a pretty even market, but not so good as
is generally expected in August, that should be one
of the busiest months in the year. There are a good
many manufacturers working to order, and conse-
quently deliver all their new patterns direct, so that
they do not get into the markets.
