at the home trade are decidedly favourable, these cooclu-
Woos being bard on the oircumstatice of stocks being small.
The foreign Made rentiouse steady ; our manufacturers have
of kte had quite ea miry export orders on band as is
usual at this reams, and sow that the mousy market
is easier, it is most likely that any orden which
may have base withheld os that account may Now
be given out. There are • few American orders on
hand • reedy trade is also being done to Australia and
South Africa. la 'shrines to particular breaches of our
msoufacturm, it is reported that the metal trades are quiet,
and the demand for material is moderate, but the rolling
mills are most of them at work full time. Tin *retro and
other platen are busy, sad the edge-tool mares is ev

number of than being as account of the export trade.
For builders, ironmongery the demand is moderate, end in
the fancy trade, more or lees of quietude prevails The Mete
of the manufacturing trades in the adjoining district is
upon she whole satisfactory ; thereat* numerous ceders in for
railway fittiop of every diecription ; the costing trade is
also tolerably active ; and in the japan and other trades

Dilates • good amorist of bosicess is boles done. On the
Dudley end Stourbridge side all the large works are in

we have had was Tuesday, whoa some large awe were
made for cloth, bat at prices too low for seeeptame. Look-
ing at the number of mills naming work, lied she greatly
increased production of cloth, buyers appear to be some-
what disposed to *upset that the domed will hardly sup-
port the pretest high rates, and whether they am right is
this siatioipatian or uot, it evidestly hansom their ma-
dent. Where some disposition has ialluearied Joann:ea-
tutors to give way • little from extreme quotations, business
bee resulted, but u a role prices are very firm. In virus

with a moderate supply of wheat, which came to heed in
steeliest carfare° ; prior remain stationary. A short
attendance of buyers. The barley trade is quiet.
ROCHAPTIZ, MAT 21.—There was about an average &t-
-reason at this corn exchange, but business was exceed-
iagly dull, and in consequence of the continued boeurre of
the weather prices have again declined. For best kinds of
wheat there was a rather sluggish demand, and sales could
only be effected at a decline of la. to 2.. per quarter. Bat
lota of white made 41a. to 44a.. and red 395. to 41s. per
quarter ; aecoodary sad inferior white 39a. to 415., and red
37.. to 395. per roarer. The foreign trade was very fiat,
and prices were about Is. per quarter cheaper, with but
little doing. In flour there were but few transactions, and
these chiefly in retail at prices slightly in favour of buyers.
The demand for barley was short nil, and the few sake
don were chiefly for grinding arta, which realised 2.5 a. to
291. per quarter ; for malting than were no inquiries, and
the quotations are therefore etweleal. Oats were about Gd.
per quarter cheaper, and in bras and peas there was no
material change.
