REVIEW OF THE WEEK . Mincing Lane , Friday Evening . In a general view trade , in the various departments nnder this head , exhibits very little change . Notwithstanding the increasing cheapness of money , the speculator still finds only partial employment , and in most cases one transaction suffices to carry produce direct from the hands of the importer into the regular channels of consumption or export . In the absence of numerous sales and resales , that are thus dispensed with , the ; markets lack the animation of more speculative times , but , a good wholesome business is steadily effected , and hence the satisfactory features which characterise nearly every statistical document . The Board of Trade Returns just issued indicate most favourably of the general consumption of nearly all the primary articles .

Corn . The supplies of English wheat at Mark-lane continue very moderate , but . they are more than adequate to the present demand , and to effect anything like a clearance Is . to 2 s . per quarter reduction has been accepted , inferior qualities being difficult to place at the decline .

Cotton . ' —American advices , confirming the accounts of damage sustained by the crops , and reporting higher prices in the principal markets , have rendered holders on this side exceedingly firm , and many samples have been withdrawn from on offer both in Liverpool and London , whilst those remaining on show are very generally held for enhanced terms .

Wohcester Fair , —Sept . 21 . — The great annual hop , cheese , and cattle fair was well supplied with stock of every description , but of cheese and hops there was rather a falling off . This is called the hop fair of the year , but in consequence of the crop being rather late in ripening this year the bulk of hops brought to market was much smaller than it would have been had the fair taken place a fortnight later . About 900 pockets wero brought to Worcester , arid , the attendance of dealers from a distance being good , the greater portion of them wero disposed of , though at low prices , best samples not realising more than 60 s . per cwt . There are a good many hops of tho growth of 1857 still on hand , which keeps down the price . Of cheeso best qualities fetched G . > s . to 70 s ., seconds 60 s , Cnttle wore in fair demand . There was a large oupply of sheep , and especially of rums of good breed . The result was that tho rainmarket was over-stocked , nnd good nnimals of undoubted blood sold for fur less than thoir value . Tho horses wero mostly limited to tho agricultural kind , and good strong animals fetched remunerating prices .
