MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The stoppages of mills in the neighbouring
districts, which are now becoming very extensive, and the
advance in the Liverpool cotton market, in consequence of
the unfavourable accounts of the picking season, brought by
the last steamer, have induced a greater degree of steadiness
in this market ; whilst the latest accounts from India being
of a more favourable character, have caused more orders to
be given out for that quarter. This was more particularly
the case on Tuesday, when a better feeling and more anima-
tion than for some weeks previously was observable. Prices,
which could not last week be obtained, were readily given for
all kinds of yarns ; and India numbers commanded a
decidedly higher value, and in the course of the day a very
fair business was done. Since then. however, the market
has relapsed, to some extent, into comparative inaction;
and with the exception of the descriptions of goods and
yarns, the production of which is likely to be interfered with
by the turn-outs, prices have been hardly so firm.
LEEDS.—From the present state of the woollen trade, the
high rate of discounts, the procrastinated settlement of the
war question, and the advancing prices of corn, a general
impression prevails, that at the woollen sales now taking
place prices must give way, and in consequence our markets
have this week ruled very dull, and the business out of the
halls has been nearly at a stand. The same causes have bad
the effect of keeping buyers from the market, until the result
of the sales, as regards prices, are developed; in consequence
we have had a very dull trade in the warehouses this week.
BRADFORD.—Wools: Scarcely a sale is making; the
spinners are all working as close as possible, and lower prices
must be submitted to. Noils and broker are scarce, and the
quantity making is very limited.—yarns: There is no im-
provement in the demand for yarns on spools; the quantity
of machinery wholly idle is immense, and short-time working
never so general at any previous period.—Pieces: The cold-
ness of the season has induced a little more inquiry for winter
goods, but the declaration of war is operating on our goods
market, and there is no alternative but adding to the already
large number of idle looms.

NOTTINGHAM.—The trade generally may be stated as flat,
in some cases so much so that machine holders are contem-
plating working half time. Many of those who have been
making silk goods nearly all the year are likely to make a few
11 warps of cotton rather than hold stocks of the former
material, which requires the investment of a serious amount
of capital, and they purpose having resource to cotton rather
than let their valuable machinery be idle. The price of silk
remains still very high, as is also cotton yarn, and without
any prospect of a reduction at present. The number of
American buyers is •more numerous than usual, especially
for hosiery goods, but they have hitherto not given out their
orders freely.

LEICESTER.—Prices remain unaltered. The spinners state
that they cannot sell for less. unless the price of wool recedes.
Purchases are made on a limited scale.
HUDDERSFIELD.—Purchases of goods have been exceed-
ingly light and few in number, and complaints are general,
in both the Cloth hall and surrounding warehouses, of the
scarcity of business.

CORN

MARK.ETS.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 21.—This day's market being very
largely attended by local and country millers, and much ex-
citement and eargerness to get into stock prevailing, the
transactions in all good fresh Wheats were to a very consider-
able amount, extensively for investment, and partly for actual
consumption, commanding an improvement of fully 3d per
bushel over the rates of Tuesday. Flour has also had a large
demand, at an advance of is to la 9d per barrel, and sacks
nearly in the same proportion; both speculative and consum-
ing buyers have taken freely of American descriptions.
Barley and Oats were more readily sold, at full prices. Beans
again rather dearer. New Oatmeal was cheaper, but superior
fresh lots of old command attention, and bring 6d to Is over
our late quotations. For Indian Corn we have had a renewed
speculative inquiry, but no great business has transpired,
holders demanding Is per quarter advance. Prices current
in Liverpool, per imperial standard, on Tuesday:--

MANCHESTER, OCT. 20. Since Monday an animated
demand has been experienced for Flour, at prices which were
not previously obtainable; and other articles have been in
moderate request, without change in value. Our market this
morning was well attended, and wheat fully recovered the
decline noted on this day se'nnight. Flour met a steady sale,
at an advance of is per sack and 2s per barrel. Oats and
Oatmeal were in moderate ()emend, at previous rates. Beans
were again rather dearer..

PRESTON, 0cr..22,-,There was a small supply of English
Wheat at our Corn Exchange to-day, the demand for which
