MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER—The operations of last week have so
entirely cleared off accumulating stocks, that both spin-
ners and manufacturers are only disposed to go on at a
higher range of prices. Buyers, on the other hand, after
their free purchases, which have satisfied their immediate
orders or pressing requirements, feel less urgency to go
on, and for the time they are hardly disposed to concede
the full prices demanded ; so that altogether the market
has been decidedly quieted throughout the week. The
demand for yarns has not been so general, notwithstand-
ing which prices are very firmly maintained, and some
descriptions can hardly be obtained on terms as advan-
tageous as last week. For India there is less doing, and
from the German houses the demand has also abated. For
goods the inquiry is not so brisk. A general quietness
exists, due apparently to the advanced prices demanded.
The Greek houses continue to operate, but not quite to
the same extent. T-cloths and.long cloths still continue
pretty good demand, as do domestics also.

ROCHDALE. The demand for flannels continues
brisk, and the manufacturers are asking better prices for
their goods to meet the late rise in the raw material. The
wool market is rather quiet, and the manufacturers buy
sparingly for immediate use only.
HUDDERSFIELD.—A slight improvement in the
number of sales effected in the cloth market, compared
with last week, although the market may be generally
reported flat. The fancy woollen trade is quieter than for
some time past; and the wool merchants complain that
they are doing very little.
NOTTINGHAM.--A few houses in the lace and hosiery
trades have been doing a little more business since our
last report, but the improvement does not extend to many ;
still the prospect for the future is good, especially for
fancy goods, as makers have wisely limited the production
to demand. There is no difference in the price of cotton
or silk yarn.

LEICESTER.—The state of trade has assumed an
aspect so satisfactory as only to be exceeded by the
splendid harvest weather and magnificent crops with
which the country is blessed. Prices still tend upwards.

LEEDS.—Prices remain without any alteration, and
although the mills throughout the district are in full
operation, the stocks in the manufacturers' hands are low.
The buyers who have been down during the week, en-
couraged by the fall in the price of corn, have purchased
seasonable goods freely, and, in consequence, a brisk busi-
ness has been done in the warehouses.

BRADFORD.—There is a coolness amongst buyers to
operate, and small purchases only are made. Wool rules
too high to induce spinners to supply themselves with
anything not required for immediate use. Noils and
shorts are very limited in the production : very scarce

and command rather higher price;.—Yarns : The contracts
entered into for this month are generally at a small
advance, but by no means equal to the recent advance on:
wool. The position of the spinner was never so harassing
since June wool has risen in price equal to 9d per gross,
while the advance on yarns cannot be quoted at more than
3d to 6d per gross. Yarns suitable for export are very
flat ; the cost of top in many cases is greater than what
the yarns when spun will realise, leaving the spinner a
loss in addition to spinning for nothing.—Pieces : More

business has been done than for severarweeks past, and
greater firmness is shown by the manufacturers, knowing
that their goods are more costly to produce, and that one-
third of the looms in the whole district are unemployed.
The splendid crops and the brilliant harvest weather are
sure to have their influence in the demand for all articles
of clothing as the cold weather draws near.

CORN

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. B.—We hard a few millers from a
distance, but the attendance at this morning's market
consisted chiefly of local and neighbouring buyers, who
purchased to a fair extent of good useful descriptions of
wheat at an advance of 3d to 4d per bushel over the cur-
rencies of Tuesday ; the better classes of States and
Canadian, in the absence of superior quality, rather
exceeding this improvement. Flour was in good request
at an amendment of is per barrel, fresh parcels being
very scarce, and extra brands held for a still greater
advance, there being no prospect of further importations,
except of inferior sorts, for some time to come; Spanigh
flour is scarcely any dearer, though held for more money.
Barley offering at a decline of 2d to 3d, without finding
buyers, and oats dull at ld per bushel reduction on both
old and new. Oatmeal steady sale at late prices. Indian
corn, from the scarcity of good samples, is not much
inquired for, and we repeat former quotations.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 7.—There was a large attend-
ance at market, and a firmer feeling was apparent than of
late. The decline on the quotations of this day se'nnight
was fully 6d per 701 b on wheat, and 3s per sack on old
English flour. New English flour was much inquired for,
and a few parcels of superfine quality were disposed of
readily at 42s 6d to 43s 6d per sack. American was in
fair request at a reduction of 2s per barrel. Oats were
again rather lower, and old oatmeal sold slowly at previous
rates. New oatmeal of choice quality was in good demand
at 36s per•24olb. • • •
-

PRESTON; SEPT. 9.—There was a good supply of
English wheat at our market this morning, chiefly new,
and being in much finer condition than last Saturday, it
met a brisk sale at is to 2s per windle improvement. Old
was likewise sought after at rather more money. American
steady, but all other descriptions of foreign might have
been bought•on easier terms. Flour is to is 6d per pack
cheaper. Beans again rather lower. The granaries are
almost cleared of oats, and prices are nearly nominal.
Oatmeal is likewise in small compass, but a little Irish
new having appeared, via Liverpool, as well as from the
farmers here, the price of the general qualities of old has
given way 6d to is per load.
- - -

WAKEFIELD, SEPT. B.—The supplies of wheat were
limited; new sold readily, at 2s per quarter decline; old
realised last week's rates. New barley found buyers at
82s per 561 b. Beans receded in value. Oats and shelling
were steady.

CORK, SEPT. 9.—A fair amount of new grain appeared
at the market during the week, in the commencement,
and up to yesterday—wheat gradually declined 5s per
barrel from the starting price; oats and barley, 2s to 3s—
but at this morning's market a decided reaction took
place, and the value of each article has more or less been
recovered—say is to 2s on wheat, and 3d to 4d per barrel
on oats and barley. Foreign wheat has been sold to a

11.—We have had an increased

LIVERPOOL, SEPT.

SALFORD, SEPT. 6.—There was an average supply of
beasts at market, but those of first-rate quality were
rather scarce. The attendance of buyers was small; and
the beef was again in a depressed state, at rates slightly
in favour of buyers. The following are the quotations:—
Beasts: First class, 61-cl to 61d; second, 6d to 51; inferior,
5d to 5/d. Sheep, 6d to 7d ; lambs, 63 to 7d. Calves,
6d to 74d. Number: Beasts, 1,367; sheep and lambs,
7,549 ; calves, 49.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 7.—The supplies continue large, with-
t any alteration in prices, except in mutton of middling

quality, which may be noted a shade lower. Beef fully
supported last day's quotations. Beef, 58s to 63s per cwt.,
in sick, 50s to 58s ; mutton, 6d to 7d per lb.
