LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.
TUESDAY, Nov. 3.
Owing to the unfavourable state or the wencher, the attend-
ance was by no means numerous. The running was good,
and the fields for each race large.
The Tyro Handicap of 5 soya. each, with 40 soya. added, for
two-year-olds. was won on the post by a head by Mr. Dawson's
The Jealous One, beating Juliet and nine others.. •

added.

Mr. Brown's The Ugly Buck, sst. 61b. 2
Mr. Henderson's Lough Bawn, 7st. 61b. 3
Twenty-two others also started. In the straight run in St.
Michael took the lead, The Ugly Buck lying close upon his
quarters, and I ouch Bawn well up, when from the distance
post a beautiful race ensued, which ended in favour of St.
Michael by a length.
A Selling Race of 5 sovs. each, with 30 sOyfi. added, was won
by three lengths by Mr. Hadland's Hyacinth, beating Game
Chicken and eight others.
The Croxteth Welter Cup was won by half a length by Mr.
Parr's Defiance, beating Alonzo and eight others.

WirDNESDI.Y, NOV: 9.
Owing to the attraction of the Steeple Chase and a favour-
able change in the weather, there was a larger attendance at
the course than yesterday.
A Scurry Handicap of 3 sous. each, with 40 added, for all
ages, was won easily by three lengths by Mr. E. R. Clarke's
Winter, beating Tonic and eleven others.
The Optional Selling Stakes of 5 sous. each, with 30 sous.
added, were won cleverly by a length by Mr. French's Cole-
raine, beating True Girl and five others.
The Liverpool Autumn Handicap Steeple Chase of 100 soya.

Mr. Higginson ns. Crabbs, 135 t. 10Ib Fowler 1
Mr. Balte's Daphne, 10st.
Capt. Pasco ns. Royal Blue. 9st. 21b..... A. Clarke 3
Ringleader, Thirkleby, Sir Phillip, Now or Never, Dearest
Mae, Sprint, Miss Purdon, and the Dwarf also started. Miss
Purdon took the lead, Crabbs second place. Daphne third,
then Dearest Mae, followed by Phirkleby and Spring. At the
high bank fence before Beecher's Brook Miss Purdon caught
her hind legs in the leap, and, falling, was entirely out of the
race. Sir Philip also met with a mishap at this early stage of
the proceedings, and both gave up all further share in the
contest. Thirkleby bolted before reaching the Brook, and
thus reduced the field to eight runners. After clearing the
brook, Crabbs took a decided lead, and making the pace
better, soon increased it to a dozen lengths; Royal Blue at
this time going into the second place, and all the rest pre-
sented a long " tail." Crabbs was eased into the ploughed
land, so that Royal Blue went up to him, but, on quitting
that enclosure, came away again with a strong lead, and won
in a canter by ten lengths. Daphne passed Royal Blue half
way along the distance, and defeated the latter for second
place by several lengths. The winner is a little horse. trained
by Fowler. at Aintree, and the animal was ridden by him with
great judgment.

..
ThiAintree Plate Handicap of 70 f ova. for all ages, was won
by Mr. Saxon's Calot, beating The Ugly Buck and fourteen
others. Effie Deans was the first at the post by a head, but
was disqualified in consequence of carrying 2 lbs. over weight
without declaring it.

A Selling Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 30 sovs. lidded, was
won by Mr. French's Coleraine, beating Songster and six
others.

The Mysterious Lady, 2 yrs., has joined French's string at
Newmarket.

the Ist of March, the Nottingham Spring Meeting will be held

Selim, the dam of lon, and other race horses, died a few days
since, at an advancdd age, at Lamorlaye, near Chantilly,
France, in the possession of Mr. Thomas Carter, the well-
known trainer of that place. Mr. Carter has sold four foals,
for which he refused 1,000 soya. in the Spring, to M. Aumont,
of course at an advance on that already high price—sufficient
proof of the enormous prices blood stock is now fetching in
France.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The market continues dull and spiritless,
and it is due entirely to the present greatly-reduced produc-
tion, in consequence of the extensive stoppage of mills
throughout the manufacturing- districts, that prices are not
very seriously affected. Had no disagreement taken place
between the employers and the operatives, the working of
short time must long ere this have been resorted to, and that
extensively. Notwithstanding the greatly-reduced consump-
tion, Cotton has maintained its value with firmness, so much
so as to leave a very bare margin of profit on the production
of many descriptions of Yarn and Cloth. Had the con-
sumption of Cotton been larger, the price would, no doubt,
have been higher ; whilst, as regards the manufactured
article, the increase of the quantity offering would have so
reduced the value as to render the production no I3nger
profitable, but entailing, at least a certain, if not a serious,
loss. On this account it is that the employers feel no anxiety
for a speedy adjustment of the dispute with their bands; and
for the same reason it is that the tone adopted by the work-
people is—if at any time justifiable—at least now, so especially
ill-timed.

Lana.—On Tuesday the market was much less buoyant.
The stocks are rather on the increase, but not to the extent
that might have been expected, the clothiers being inclined
to curtail the supply, rather than, in the present state of
things, to increase their stocks.

BRADFORD.—WooIs : There is no change during the week,
and the buying is on the narrowest scale possible.—Yarns :
The supplies are materially diminished, the continued short-
time working, stoppage of machinery, and ruinous prices for
Yarns, compared with the cost of the raw material, compel
the spinners to cease working, as near as they possibly can,
till a turn for the better presents itself.—Pieces : The season-
able and cheerful weather has given a tone of confidence;
this, with the short supply now making, is telling favourably,
and an opinion is gaining ground that goods have seen their
lowest price.

HUDDERSFIELD.—Business, generally, has been tar from
good. Very little has been done among the warehouses dur-
ing the week. Trade in the wool warehouses has been rather
more active, a slight decline in price having taken place; but
thiF, in the face of dull markets for manufactured goods, has
not had the effect of causing any demand, further than to
supply immediate requirements.
NorrmonAm.—There is no alteration in the lace trade
worthy of notice. The American advices still continue of an
unsatisfactory character : the Germans are buying but little,
and the season of the year is against the home trade, to which
may be added the more than critical state of affairs in the east.

LEICESTER.—Trade continues very dull. Manufacturers
are all continuing to curtail employment, and, unless an im-
provement takes place, the workmen will suffer.

WISBECH, Nov. 12.—We do not get any increase in our
supply, although we believe alt the thrashing machines are'
fully at work. At our market to-day the show of Wheat is
pretty fair, and all parties being steady buyers, prices remain.
same as last week, for all kinds of grain.
CORK, Nov. 12.—Flour has no sale ; quotations are
nominally as last week; the consumption of bread is mate-
rially shortened by the present range of prices. Foreign
Wheats are again easier to buy, bat sales are very limited.
Indian Corn has no demand for consumption, and the specu-
lative feeling has ceased. Native Wheats declined is. per
bushel ; Barley advanced 6d ; Oats are 2d to 4d cheaper.
DUBLIN, Nov. 11.—The best qualities of Wheat, Oats,
and Barley, fully supported the previous currencies, and in
some cases prime Oats were 6d dearer. Middling and infe-
rior descriptions of all were dull of sale, but not generally
cheaper. Scarcely any inquiry for Indian Corn.
