The market for manafaotured goods has been rather
(inlet during the present week, but the tone of ths
various markets has oontineed healthy, and in nearly
all eases prices have ruled firm.
In Yorkshire a considerable amount of borings& has
been transacted in wool this week, and it is stated
that employment throughout the listriat cautioned'
pretty satisfactory for the season. From Leech it is
reported Mint the warehouse trade of the town continues
to improve, there being buyers from London, Man.
cheater, Canada, and Scotlend looking about.
The Sib trade has been rather quiet.
Metals are rather quiet, sithough, in some respects,
a slight improvement is reported.

belief that the lowest point barn now been remelted, there

improvement of about la per qr. itu taken place in
price,. Millers, however, have not shown any dimmer.

large, and the winter Is now far advanced. The oon•
dition of the wheat haa mush improved. in oonserprenee
of the 'recent dry wines. As mud spring corn the
trade has been quiet.
Tbe imports of Wheat are now falling off, owing

Improved. Beans and pew are unchanged. Maine la. per qr.
dearer.—Deeres : Wheat in good 'Nerdy, and firmly held;
trade consequently ruled rather dull, the top prices of la*
week being fully maintained. In barley there was a decided
improvement. and good malting barley waa fully I. delver than
left week, while grindnig parcels ralised lid, to is. above late
rates. Beans were hardly an dear, nor so brisk • trade as last
week.

FRIDAY.— Mark-Lane: Fresh up to Mark-Lane this morning
Use receipts id English grain were only moderate, and the
show id foreign produce ens by no means extensive. The cold
weather imparted. arm tone to the market, notwithstanding
that the business doing was limited. As regards English
wheat. both ref and white produce sold slowly, but prices were
maintained, Foreign wheat wudirheult •Li more, at Monday's
quotations. With barley the market was moderately .up lied.
The trade was quiet, on former terms. Belt was dull, at late
rates. Oats commended but little attention, at pretious quota
lions Beans were dull, and peas hung on hand. Flour was
quiet, and unaltered.
