weakness shown for some days pant en the Liverpool

say that the cloth market is rather weaker. and that tke
tendency of prices is against sellers, the better qualities 51

there is no doubt that many 'pitmen and manufacturen,
who use the lowest and cheapest kinds of this staple, bare

of buyers at oar Corn Exchange this morning, and a very
dull feeling prevailed. Holden offered to make a trilling
concession both on wheat and Sour, but so little hotlines
resulted that quotations muss be considered in a vat
degree nominal. Indian own was not so easily makable as
of late. and mast be called 3d. down on the week. Oats
and oatmeal steady, without alteration in prim. Boma are
again 6d. per quarter cheaper. Peas, from scarcity, are the
torn dearer. The market eloped without any animation
whatever.

mud, and prime were Is. per qr. lower than last week.
Foreign barley maw cheaper. In other articles no change.
