WOOL AND WORSIT.D.—DnADFORD, July 19.
There is no change to report in the word market, which
continues in the same inanimate state in which it has been
for some time past. The consumption is still considerable,
end sales are therefore of course made to some extent ;
bat, owing to the high price of the raw material, spinners
are unwilling to operate beyond their immediate wants.
They work up their stocks to the lowest possible point, and
will perhaps allow a little machinery to stand idle rather
than purchase at what they consider unremunemtive rates.
The alight concession in the price of wool noticeable has be-
come a little more evident to-day. The chief cause of this
is no doubt a want of confidence on the part of
staplers in the present high prices, which pro-
duces timidity and consequent willingness to realise even
at a little loss. Nothing whatever is doing in colonial
wool ; the buyers are waiting the result of the large sales
in London, which commence this evening. There is no
change In moils and shorts. The piece market is only thinly
'Mewled by buyers, and on the whole a general flatness
prevails. There is a steady business doing in worsted yarns.
Spinners are generally well employed. A good business is
doing for exportation, and moderate sales are mule to the
Lome houses. Prices, however, are still far from 'Misfire-
tory, and are not quotably higher than lust week.

CORN.—Brlnntonan, JULY 19.—M Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the 14th, the supply of wheat from
the growers being abort, full, previous rates were obtained.
Marley was also quite as dear. More doing ill oats. Beams
neglected. We bad a better demand jar pork During the
=
week few transactions in wheat are reported, but
demand fully as high prices. There is a good retail
sale for bsdey, bat the large =rode on the coast have

checked the upward tendency. Beans difficult to quit in
quantity, and peas are less in request. At Wolverhampton,
yesterday, there was a short supply of wheat, and the
weather being unsettled, the turn in price in favour of sel-
ler. At this day's market there was again a short supply
of English wheat, which realised an advance of L. per
quarter. Barley 6d. per quarter cheaper. Oats dull, with
a downward tendency. Beans firm. Nu rather cheaper.
DEVIZik JULY 19.—We had again an exceedingly short
supply of wheat, indeed much tell little to meet the de-
mand. The trade wee very brisk and a clearance was
quickly made at an advance of fully 3s. a qr: and in some
instances of from 3s. to 4s. Wheat, best, 1511 s. to 645. per
qr. ; middling, 51s. to 58s. ; inferior, 40s. to 51e. Barley,
345. to 44e. Oats, 235. to 335. Beaus, 465. to 50s. Peas,
451. to 465. Flour, tine, 495. to 525. per sack ; seconds,
44e. to 47a

MANCHESTER, JULY 19.—There was a moderate attend-
ance at this morning's market, the business transacted con-
sisting chiefly of a few purchases of wheat ; English, owing
to its scarcity, realised rather over last week's rates, whilst
foreign sold to a fair extent at fully previous prices. Flour
was entirely neglected, and our quotations remain nominally
as before. Oats sold slowly on former terms, but the beat
descriptions cf oatmeal were more inquired for. Indian
corn was more pressingly offered at a reduction of Ia per
quarter, whilst beans were without change in value.
NEWARK, JULY IS. —OW market to-day was small,
scarcely anything passing in wheat, and prices may be
quoted at rather more money than last week. Barley, oats,
and beans were held for about the same.

NZWBURT, Jrcv 19.—We had this day a small supply of
wheat, which sold at barely the prices of last week. Merely
• retail trade in burley ; oats, beans, and peas, dull at late
reds.

UXBRIDGE, JULY 19.—The attendance at market to-day
is short, and the supply of grain very small, the value of
which is unchanged. Wheat, 46.. to 625. ; barley, 32a. to
365. ; oats, 245. to 30s. ; beans, 44a. to 48a. ; pens, 42..
per qr.
WATIRFORD, JULY 18.—fIcaroely any homegrown grain
has appeared at market since Saturday, and our supplies of
foreign are limited to a couple of ciugoes of Indian corn
from the Danube. For all articles of the trade the turn of
prices is in favour of buyers, with the exception of oats,
which most be written rather dearer.

qrs. wheat, 41 barley, 1,071 oats, and 26 beans. There

CATTLE —EDINBURGH, Jots 18.—The supply of sheep
and lambs this morning was 5,218, being 962 more than last
week. Demand good, and prices much the same as those ob-
tained last market. Best mutton from 74d. to 66. ; ewes and
inferior, from 60. to 7d. per lb. Lambe, top price, 325. ;

market—Sheep, 5,281 ; fat cattle, 337 ; lean do., 126 ;
milch cows, 118 ; pig% 122.

THE WINE AND SPIRIT TRADE.—During the two
months that followed the reduction of the wine duties very
large importations were made, and, although the consump-
tion has increased, the import has so far exceeded it as to
leave us with a considerable present stock ; at the same time
a very large proportion is su to be of most inferior
quality. Another cause whir tends to cramp transactions
is the knowledge that the duty will be further reduced
early in the year 1861 ; dealers in the interim will naturally
clear as sparingly as possible. Brandy has somewhat de-
clined, but in the absence of demand it is impossible to give
a quotation—for vintage Ifks9, where sales are pressed, a
considerable concession must be made in favour of thebuyer.
Rum ti lected, and prices lower. Wines of known and
reputed are in steady demand at full rates ; for
inferior and doubtful sorts no demand exists.— (From the
monthly circular of Mr. F. W. Coons.)
