The manu-

facturing districts are reported to be advancing in
prosperity and consuming power; wages generally
are good and employment abundant in almost every
branch of industry ; and the very cause which may
hereafter lead to a decrease of that consuming power
of our people—the extensive emigration going on,
both to America and Australia,—is at present filling
the channels of trade, every vessel which leaves our
shores, taking out provisions, clothing, hardware,
and the requirements of colonial life generally, for
months in anticipation of what would be the wants
of a stationary population. Money too continues
abundant and cheap, and yet there is no unhealthy
speculation going on, which can lead to any serious
fears of a relapse, or of commercial panic.

Our SIIARE MARKET continues much depressed;
aid, under the influence of unfavourable weather
and directors' squabbles, prices droop almost daily.
London and North-Western shares are particularly
heavy, several very large real sales having been
made of these shares. Belgian anl French shares
are most in repute; and while English of all kinds
are declining, these steadily advance. We annex
this day's prices :—Birkenhead, L. and C., 6+d;
late Chester and Birkenhead, 211 1 ; Caledonians,
22W ; Eastern Counties, 111,-; Lancashire and York-
shire, 83 21- -.7,- 3; Leeds Northern, 181 ; London

PRODUCE.—The transactions during the week
have been upon a fair scale, and with an improved
feeling. We have not to notice however, any ma-
terial advance in the price of any article, with the
exception of RICE, which was a little higher at the
close of the week than on the previous Friday.
TO-DAY, the SUGAR market continues steady,
and, including Saturday's business, the sales consist
of 275 hhds. Demerara at 30s. to 335., GO hhds.
Barbadoes at 30s. to 345. 6d., and 355., for grainy,
400 bags Madras at 275., 700 bags Dates at 355. to
365., and a few hhds. Porto Rico at 345. 6d. to 38s.
per cwt. Of MOLASSES, 500 puns. Barbadoes
have been taken at 155., and 160 puns. inferior
Antigua at 14s. 3d. per ewt. There is nothing to
notice in Rum or COFFEE. We are without any
transaction of moment to report to-day in TEA ;
market firm, but very inanimate. RICE is again
rather higher, 2200 bags Bengal being reported at
lls. 3d. to lls. 6d., and 600 bags Arracan, with all
faults, at Bs. 6d. per cwt. By auction, 400 bags
SALTPETRE realized 28s. 9d., (7,T per cent.,) and
a small parcel of inferior NITRATE of SODA 13s.
6d. per cwt.

MANCHESTER MANUFACTURES.--Messrs.
M`Nair, Greenow, and Irving report, in their cir-
cular of the 30th ult. :—" Since the date of our last
monthly circular the outward appearance of this
market may be said to have undergone no material
change ; occasional and momentary deviations were
perceptible, arising principally from the condition of
the Cotton market, and the accounts from India and
China. In general the aspect has been of a steady
and subdued character, resulting in a large aggre-
gate amount of transactions."
IRON.—A further advance of 20s. per ton was
declared at Wolverhampton on Thursday last.
COTTON.—We have had a large business this
week at gradually stiffening prices ; and at the close
the sales amounted to 96,230 hales, of which spe-
culators took 43,550 bales, exporters 4130, and
spinners 43,550 bales. There has been an advance
on the current qualities of American of Id. per lb.,
and upon Egyptian, which has been in extensive
demand, of Id. To-day Cotton continues very firm,
dealers having been, however, awaiting the arrival
of the steamer. The demand, nevertheless, has been
steady and extensive, the sales on Saturday being
12,000 hales, including 4000 chiefly on speculation;
and to-day fully 15,000 bales have found purchasers,
6000 being chiefly on speculation at very extreme
rates. It remains to be seen whether the somewhat
more satisfactory accounts of the growing crop,
received per Europa, will have any effect in check-
ing the previous tendency to an advance in price.
WooL.—We quote the following from the cir-
cular of Messrs. Hughes and Ronald, wool brokers,
Liverpool, dated Ist October :—" We have to re-
port a continuance of the healthy and steady course
of business which has existed during the last three
months, and it is satisfactory to notice that con-
sumers have also shared in this improvement. The
mills are generally in full work, and, being chiefly
I to order, manufacturers are enabled to
an advance on their goods; and there is
2ason to hope, notwithstanding the advanced
rates demanded for home Wools, that they will be
able to pursue a profitable business."
