CoHon--Wc have to repot quiet and heavy
Cotton market throughout the week, with decline
of ID. " b. all qualities below fair. This heavi-
Is mainly attributed to the dizziness that per-
vades the Manchester market, Goods and Yarns
being again lower, and to the absence OF demand
from the trade, who manifest continued determi-
nation to conne their purchases to their immediate
wants. The sales for the week estimated at
81 700 bales of which spectators have taken j2lO
and exporters 391O bales. The American dcscrip-
tions sold are $3.50 Upland at ada sgd. 1910 Ala

.Money.-Thc Discount Good Bills is still
quoted % W ct, whilst the minimum Bank rate
continues at 3; the last returns show decrease OF
private deposits, and large increase of private Sc
Curities which is a sign that extension of trade has
led to a demand for money on the Bank of England
terms Consols have fuctuated little during the
winding up of the account, and open lower, having
been last done at 923
Cotton.-The non-arrival of the % Hibernia, -
expected from Boston the 10th inst, has occa-
stoned much disappointment. Holders had calcu-
lated that her intelligence would impart greater ac-
tvity, and, under that impression, are still acting
with much firmness, though for want OF demand
prices have been somewhat irregular, and ID occa-
sionally conceded for sorts whilst the value
of fair' classes is supported by the export inquiry
Our stock shows further diminuton Of 900 bales,
and not half of our light Import is American. \
number of mills at Bolton have ceased working,
the operatives having struck for higher wages but
their consumption is not heavy and it is expected
compromise will shortly be made. The trade have
only taken about 10000 bales during the past three
weeks. and must therefore be lcssenng the stocks
| they hold
Bread StufS.-The weather has been more bro
ken since the date of our last which has retarded
| the closing of our harvest. In Old Wheat and
Flour the tendency to decline has been arrested and
a fair retail business done at firm prices Renewed
complaints of the Potato Disease have drawn specu-
latvc attention to Indian Corn, and raised the price
! Is to Is. Cd. ~ or. The stock is heavy, and the
demand for Ireland nearly over, little more than
one fourth of last months Import having been
shipped to that country. Indian Corn Meal is ne
elected, and fresh arrivals have made the supply
very heavy.
