SATURDAY, 18th Oct.-We have a very considera-
bic supply of Wheat and Oats in from Ireland within
the last three days, much larger than any received du-
ring Il similar period since harvest: there are also seve-
raj arrivals OF the former from the Isle of Man the

import is small, and we have very little of any des-
crirtior in coaS.wise.
The present superintendent supply of wheat accom-

From tie journal Of Commerce.
We take the following extracts from the circular of Messrs.
Bolton, Ogden d Go. Gated:
LivEEroor, October 10Th, 1925.
From the middle to the end of last mont, there was a REGULAR
demand for Cotton from, the dealers and spim,ers with sca2ccir
any variation i'll the prices, but since the commencement, of this
month the de nand for 1t has increased, and the common Crali-
ties of T. land, Alabama and New Orleans. have aJvancad i Id =

ceehed a I'D per lii. The demand for Sea Isiand Cotton ;s all
exceedingly limited, and from the high prices of the common
qualities, which are considered I'd to Sd per lii. higher than their
ordinary value, the consumption is much reduced and does not
nov" probably exceed 500 bags per week, which is about one
third less than it was the whole oflast wear. The stock of 60,
isttd Cotton IN this market is unusually small, beng, be believe.

ION, that the prices next year WILDE considerably lower, that thew

The 81 mlcrs OF fine Yarns have, we believe, of late been malle

accustomed Ia receive, and their stocks are now accumulatinn
Tie demand for Cotton Yarns of the common qualities, and
'T most descriptions OF q tton manufactures, has been co,I,inu-
ed with considerable briskncss IN tire Manchester market. aud
although low prices for both stll continue to be complained Of,
yet as the 'Pnning and Manufactures are continued on an undi,
mnIiShed scale, 1t is to he inferred, that the prices obtained are
upon the whole not unprOitablc. The Irone trade of this com,-
ty is considered to be i'll a fourising state, and as it is Il believed
Una Il ro'S'ocraDle import OF Gran and Flour will he wanted to
make mp the deficiency of the last harvest, a more than ordinary
amount OF export business Is calculated upon for the next year.
" Ii r'.IlGt 10 the future prices of Cotton we again remark,
that they WILDE very much influenced by the extent of he crons

Obtained for any length of time, unless it shall I've believed that
me crops OF Cotton OF the present year arc again unprOduc,ivc:
ana as all, or nearly all the holders will be anxious to cult their
SunSNS before the new crops come forward, they will avail them
selves OF brisk markets for the attainment of this object: auv m
terial advance on the present prices would, we are convinced, be
4 ci''lh on the consumption, and would lead to a considerable
reduction IN the stocks that would be kept by both the dealers
and spimers.
