THE CORN AND_ CATTLE TRADE

The up-i;;:ril movement still crntinuea in the Worn trade,
owing to the had weather. At IMrchester on Saturday
supply of wheat was insufficient to meet local demands,
and prices were Is. per imperial quarter dearer than last
week, the quotations ranging from Ifis. to Pki., against 444
the official average of last week. Barley met with a slow
sale; samples for grinding purposes being disposed of at
last week's prices f 2:45. to :10s, per imperial quarter.
Oats saleable at Vs. to :ffis. per imperial quarter.—There
was a moderate supply of stork at Mr. Easel'. fortnightly
tattle market, the summed figures being readily realised :
—Heifers and calves. .£ll to al 10s. each: Icirreneni, .£l2
to i'.l6 per head: bulls, £l6 to 1:27 irs. per head; fat Iwo(
I Is, lid. to 15s. lid, per score; Down ewe-, 51i.. to e2s. i6L
each Dorset horn ewes, 17s. to 61.. ; superior ewes, 7th.;
wethers, Oh. VI ids. each ; Dorset horn lamhs, :Ms to :Irs.;
best Down lambs, Oh. to 414 each; calves, to a 21-
per head. Both beef and mutton were very prime. At
Reading a moderate show of wheat, and holders asked
more Honey. tither grain wa-, rather in buyeni favour.
At Glouceder very little English wheat on offer, and the
best qualities sold at nearly Is. per quarter advance. Mame
del. to Is. dearer. At Rath there NSA • short supply of
wheat, at Is. per quarter rilvance. At Tannton the wheat
market was not so fast as last week, and prices rather
favoured favoured buyers, only newly purchasers paying last weeks
prices for English grain. Foreign wheat was is.
lower to sell. Flour ruled at Ms, the sack, the price of
bread having been raised a halfpenny a loaf for a week

TIIE FOREIGN NVIIE.tT ANA FLOUR TRADES.
The Antwerp wheat market has been quiet, and prices
have remained without change. Floor has been steadily
supported at Paris upon the whole. The wheat trade has
presented tole-able amount of animation at Paris : the
pretensions of holders have not been able to overcome,
however, the reserve of the milling trade. France is now
on the eve of her harvest, and if the weather remains fine
French farmers will attack the wheat, as they have
already attacked the rye. Under these circumstances
millers have been in no great hurry to make pircheses.
Disposable wheat has ruled firm at Hantburgh, but at
Bremen the wheat trade has been quiet. A good denten.'
for best has prevailed at Pesth, the intelligence received
as to the Hungarian crops being unfavourable. At Dantsic
disposable wheat has been in rather better demand.

WOOL MARKETS.
BRADFORD. SATURDAY. —The wool market has shown
no improvement during the peat week. The transactions
have been of a restricted character, and prices firm.
Spinners generally are tolerably well supplied with wool,
and in some ease, purchase only to cover actual necessity.
The aggregate turn over for the season is only light.
Purchases are made in the country irrespeetive of the state
of business in this market by a few of the leading spinners
and some stapler+, end thin tends to the maintenance of
values. Lustre wool.; of goal miality are firm. In demi-
ltuitre wool., owl as Midland Counties, Irish, and Kenai
the swiees in the country are higher than can be obtained
In this market. The quantity coining to market is not
large.
HALFAX. SATURPAY.—Sinre last Saturday our market
has undergone no noteworthy change. We therefore
continue t. a quit but fair business in wool, at
teady prices. Perhaps the turnover is scarcely an average
one.
BF:RU.I(IC. SATURDAY. —The annual wool market vu
held in Satonlar. There was a largo attendance of wool
buyers livid farmers. The latter asked for last year's prices,
but thew the dealers went unwilling to give. and during
the greater part of tie • market very few transactions took
place. later on there was a letter di4poolition for buosinem,
but Itale4 0,0.1 only be effeete,l at a reduction of from Is.
