SALFORD CATTLE MARKET. OCT. 2

The supply of stock continues on a very large scale, but the
quality, season considered, only indifferent. There was, as of
late, a large attendance, and a good demand for fine Beef and
superior Mutton, both of which sold at the rates of last market
; say prime Beef 4id. and 5d., and Mutton 4d. to 54d. per

lb. 'A gOotil clearance I.;

DUBLIN CATTLE

MARKET. OCT. 4

The market this morning was again a large one of cattle, but
not quite so many sheep as on this day week. Prices of good
Beef were much about the same, 40s. to 425., and for very
prime single Beasts, 435. to 445. per cwt. in sink ; inferior
kinds, however, were more difficult to sell, even at a small re-
duction, and may be quoted at from 355. to 40s. We observed
a great many lots of young cattle which did not seem to
attract much attention. Sheep sold about last quotations, 43d
to sid. ; Veal- - pc-

per lb. me rig market his become very
heavy, and the quality well finished; prices are, however,
lower from extreme rates 55., and from this day week 3s. per
cwt. on an average. Prices to-day of Bacon kinds, 325. to 355.
per cwt.

STATE OF TRADE,

MANCH ESTER.—The market continued without animation
throughout the week until Friday. Prices, however, have, on
the whole, been pretty steadily maintained, although slightly
in favour of the buyer. The reduced consumption by manu

racturers nas thrown rather more yarn on the market ; and

use, sought some concession, which, not being readily accord-
ed, induced a disposition to hold back. On Friday 'he Tudia
accounts indicated some improvement at Bombay, which
caused more animation, and buyers, who had previously been
indifferent, showed a greater disposition to operate, and in
some cases effected purchases, although on rather less advan-
tageous terms than they might have done previously. This
was not so much the case with the buyers for India (who await
the arrival of the letters) as with the continental and home
houses, who, anticipating a higher range of prices, in conse-
quence of the India news, did not deem it safe to delay longer.
Unlike the several previous weeks there has been no violent
action and reaction in the market, and on this account the
contrast has been less marked. The inquiry for the usually
current numbers of 'yarn for India has been small, but in the
finer counts, '2o's and upwards, the demand continues greater
than the supply, and to obtain what has been required of these,
buyers have been found to purchase lower numbers with them.
For Germany the inquiry has not been quite so great, and as
the week waned parties were inclined to accept rather less
than would have been taken last week. Manufacturers acted
with caution, and only ordered to a limited extent. The feel-
ing was, however, a good deal changed on Friday, but without
as yet occasioning any extensive operations. In cloth there
still continues a considerable degree of dulness. India shirt-
ings, in which there was some but not a very general business
doing at the beginning of the week, are duller again, opera-
tions having been deferred till the arrival of the mail. Prices
are somewhat irregular for these as well as most other sorts of
piece goods, but together with yarns there was a disposition to
greater firmness.
ROCHDALE.—The transactions this week have been rather
more limited than has been the case for the last few preceding
weeks; but, notwithstanding this, we have had a very fair bu-
siness doing in flannels, at former prices. The wool market is
steady and prices are tending upwards.
LEEDS.—A steady business continues to be done in the
woollen trade, without any marked change since our last report.
Stocks are low and late prices well maintained.
BRADFORD.—WooII fhe operations in the wool trade still
rule on the finer sorts, for which very high prices are sought,
and the supply not abundant. For low and middling qualities
the spinners supplied themselves so amply at the neighbouring
markets and fairs that they are-yet well stocked, and they are
not withcut change. Yarns : There is not any less yarn going
into actual consumption, nor are stocks to be found in the
spinners' hands, but there is no disposition to buy for distant
delivery, as the home trade is usually less active, and the ma-
nufacturers are buying for present consumption. For shipping
there is the same demand as for s,ine time past, and yarns
suitable for Russia are wanted for this month's delivery. Fine
numbers on spools are fully as firm as last month ; in other
numbers no marked difference. Pieces : The demand for
goods suitable for autumn commenced somewhat earlier this
year than usual; and throughout the season has been very
busy ; and at no time has October come in with so generally
a small supply of goods, in both the manufacturers' and mer-
chants' hands. This indicates a healthy state of trade, with
an absence of speculation, and all are sanguine of a good trade
sthroughout the winter. In prices there is no difference.
HALIFAX.—The aspect of our Piece-hall on Saturday was
-much the same as last week ; there being no noticeable differ-
ence either in the demand or the prices. Neither can we report
-very differently as to yarn. The spinners have all their ma-
chinery running on current orders; and the merchants are
reluctant to give fresh orders, except at reduced rates. The
-wool market is steady, and the late advance is maintained.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been rather slack, consi-
dering the time of year. The amount of goods that have
changed hands in the hall is not so large as last week, owing
to the shipping season being nearly over for the winter goods.
The wool market continues to keep firm prices. _ _

NOTTINGITA M.—Lace : The transactions of this week have
been few; there is, however, no change in price. Hosiery :
We have a good demand for ose, especially of the descriptions
which are for winter use, as also for those for the spring trade
for America, from which country we have some tolerably fair
orders.

LEICEBTER.—Trade continues in an active and healthy con-
dition. The orders for the South American and Australian
markets have been more than the average. The shirt and
knotted branches are brisk. Prices of material remain as
before quoted.
