MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES,

MANCHESTER.-The market has been much quieter this
week, which is attributable to the gradually-advancing value
of money, and the prospect that the continued diminution of
bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England, combined with
the increased demand for discount, will lead that corporation
to advance further their rates for discounts. Nor are the
India and China accounts of a charaeter to encourage much
business for the East. Notwithstanding the general quietness
that has prevailed, there is very little giving way in price, on
the contrary, for some things, more money is asked. Most
producers are working to order, and manufacturers can, in
very few instances, afford to accept any reduction in the face
of the present high value of Yarns, and the increased and in-
creasing value of labour. Yarns for home use continue in
good demand. Export Yarns have not been freely taken,
either by the India houses, or for the Continent. The goods
market has been quiet, though prices have been fully sus-
tained,—though 40 in. shirtings still continue dull,--there is
but little concession, they being already anything but remu-
nerative, and the probability is that manufacturers will go on
to other descriptions.
RoctiDALE.—There has been a good demand for low-priced
Flannels; but those of a finer quality have not been much in
request. In the Wool market there is little change, and the
manufacturers continue to buy very sparingly. There is a
good demand for English Wools, varying from 14d to 16d per lb.
LEEDS.—The markets at the Cloth-halls have been brisk,
and there continues to be an active business doing to direct
orders, and in sales by commission hands; the stocks also
being unprecedentedly low at this season of the year, the
mills,
in consequence, continue to be fully employed, and
prices remain firm. A full average quantity of business has
been done by the home trade houses, and the prospects are
considered encouraging for the winter trade.
HUDDERSFIELD.—We have no material change to report in
our market ; the demand keeps up for seasonable goods.
manufacturers, generally, are fully engaged working to order.

Lace trade, but it is still in a healthy condition for the season,

considering the disarranged state of political affairs on the
continent of Europe. The home and colonial trades are taking
off large quantities of Lace and Hosiery goods of the hest
qualities, particularly the latter. The Hosiery trade is in a
most healthy condition, with a prospect of a long continuance
of the same. Hosiery Yarn is still at-a high price, withoat a
prospect of a reduction. The price of Lace Yarn is increasing.

CORN

MA RKE:TS

LIVERPOOL, Atm. I9.—This morning the trade does not
continue so active, still we have a good consumptive demand
for Wheats generally, at the extreme-rates of our last market
day, which, in some instances, were slightly exceeded ; holders
were very firm, or more business- might have been done.
Flour in fair demand, but not so brisk_ as the two preceding
days, the above improvement being, however, maintained.
Barley very scarce; none but low qualities offering. Malt
and Beans unaltered in value or demand. Oats are dull, and
the few parcels at hand of new Irish are id per bush. cheaper.
Oatmeal almost without inquiry to-day;: the extreme value of
new 27s to 28s per load. Indian Corn, on the spot, neglected,
but several further transactions in cargoes are reported.

MANCHESTER, Ave. 20.—At our market this morning,
there was a fair inquiry for Flour, but an advance of Is per
sack being generally demanded over the low prices taken
during the week, the transactions were limited ; in other
articles there was no change worthy of notice.
PRESTON, Ave. 20.—At our corn exchange to-day, the
supply of English Wheat was soon cleared at full prices, but
there was not much doing in Foreign. Flour unaltered.
Beans very scarce, and 6d per windle higher. Oats more
plentiful, and the turn lower. Oatmeal excessively dull, and
in most cases an abatement of 6d per load was submitted to.
WAKEFIELD, Aim. 19.—T0-day our market is well sup-
ported, and there is a good sale for all fresh parcels of Wheat,
at an advance of 2s per qr.; inferior goes off more freely at
about is per qr. advance. Barley, Oats, and Shelling steady,
at late rates. Beans sell slowly, but there is no reduction in
price.

WISBECH, AUG. 20.—We have a very small number of
farmers at our market to-day, and the few samples of Wheat
offering sold for full 2s per quarter more than last week. No
Beans or Oats offering.

CORK, AUG. 20.—The Flour market continues in the same
inactive state as last noted, bakers merely supplying present
wants. In Foreign 'Wheats little business doing; the prices
asked are considered too high by millers to purchase at
Indian Corn unaltered.

, DUBLIN, Auo. 19.—Our Corn market continues very dull
for every description of old grain, except fresh feeding Oats,
which are in demand. We repeat our quotations of Tuesday
though they only represent small transactions. The supply o
new grain is increasing. Bere brought an advance of Is.

CATTLE

MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, Auo. 22.—We have had a very large supply
of Cattle to-day, which met a rather dull sale at barely last
week's curriencies. A liberal supply of Sheep, but good qua-
lities scarce, and readily sold. Very few Lambs on offer,
which sold readily at ad per lb. advance. Good Beef worth
sld to 6ad per lb. ; Lamb, 7d to 7ad ; Mutton, 61d to 7d.
SALFORD, Auo. 17.—The number of Beasts much the same

sold. Number of Beasts, 1,368; Sheep and Lambs, 9,652;
Calves, 46.

DUBLIN, Auo.lB.—The market wail rather large, but top

lots of Heifers, at well as good Sheep; were scarce. There
was a slight reduction in the prices for inferior qualities,
though there was a good clearance. Beef, 50s to 56s a 60s
per cwt. ; Mutton, s&d to 64d; Veal, 7d to Sid per lb., sinking
offal; Lambs, 20s to 288 each. The Pig market season has
not yet opened.

PROVISION

ilf .A. BETTS

LIVERPOOL, Atm. 22.—The Butter market was quiet all
last week, and the transactions were on a limited retail
scale. Prices have given way is to 2s per cwt. since our
last report, which does not induce the dealers to purchase
more than to serve their immediate wants. In consequence
of the high advices from Ireland, and the moderate stock
held here, holders .appear tolerably firm at the reduction.
The most esteemed brands of Waterford, Carrick, and Clon-
mel, may now be quoted at 93s to 958 ; Kilkenny, Carlow,
and Wexford, 92s to 945; Belfast, 92s to 935; Limerick, 87s
to 91s; Sligo, 88s to 91s; and Pickled Cork seconds, 87s per
cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland, from Aug. 15, to Aug.
24, both inclusive, 1,266 firkins, 94 kegs, 907 crocks. 327
boxes, 360 brls. Butter; 151 bales Bacon; and 12 hlmis. 2
tcs. Hams.
