The show included 438 splendid Canadian beams inek
cattle, which have lately been held back, are now being
sent over rather freely, and 43 Pens were stocked wilt,
good useful beads from the neighbourhood of Dublin.
There were also several lots of capital Scotch beasts from
the Aberdeen district, and six or seven pens were filled
with the Jutland animals. The beef trade ruled very
heavy, prices were considerably easier than for some tiro*
met, and a clearence could not be effected. Prime
animals made about Bed per pound, or 9. lid per stone of
ordinary quality &I to 841, and rough and heavy
&bindle. 741 to 7;1. There wars 600 less sheep and lambi

OHENICALS.—SInme the publication of our last there
has been very little• if any. material alteration in the
position of the chemical markets. Values have kept
moderately steady. Makers see no reason to depart frogs
the current prices ruling, and are consequently tolerably
Inn to their quotations, with very few exceptiona The
volume of busfas. shows as yet but 11W.. increase, never'
thetas inquiries are more numerous, and consumers are
more broadly disposed to cover their forward supplies.
MINERAL9—The attitude of the various mineral
marked"' doss not Flys holm for much encouragement that
• favourable reaction is near. Consumers are engaged
weelting down their stocks and completing the contracts
entered Into earlier in the VThere this k not the
case, they evince a decided dlapc.itlon to avoid buying in
any tolerable quantities whether for prompt or forwent,
hence there is only • very limited trade doing, and the
variouslepote are rather overburdened with supplier..
MET —A slightly favourable change has been
observable in respect to metals during the week. Pig iroe
has recovered some of its symptoms of weakness, and for
the moment seems healthy. Glasgow warrants wer• the
tut to feel the alteration, and strong markets have been
"Portml. Thepiprime cause seems to be rather • scarcity of
