MARKET&

TALLOW. —T UESDAY Eves No.—The market was quiet
to-day. Spot, 445. 6d. ; January to March, 445. ;
March, 44a. 9d. to 45e. ; April to June, 454 ; October to
December, 45a. 9d.

Livsnroor.., Jam I.—The cotton and corn markets are
closed, being New Year'.-day.

COTTON Goo— JAH. L—We have
nothing doing in yarns and clothe. Warehouses were
opened in the morning for letters, but beyond that there
hu been no attention to basins'

WOOL AND WOItSTED.—BRADFORD, Dec. 31.—There
is little change to note in wool. This being the last
market-day in the year, there is no disposition to do much
business. Prices are about the same as last week. There
has been no improved inquiry for worsted yarns. Spinners
continue engaged on old contracts, and are firm in their
quotations. The miserable weather has kept many of the
merchants out of the piece market, and as the present is
the last market-day in the year, every one restricts trans-
actions within the narrowest limits. Prices are unchanged.

WOOLLEN.—Luce, JAN. l.—Business has only
been quiet in the cloth balls this morning ; the attendance
of buyers has not been large, few from other towns have
put in an appear me, and the transactions, although
showing an improvement upon the few hut market days,
have nevertheless been contracted. In the coloured-ball
the demand has run upon light fabrics for the spring
season, including tweeds and meltons in various shades.
Blue greys have had the preference, of which some
medium sized parcels have been sold. Plain cloths have
not been in large request, though in some quarters the
inquiries have been rather more numerous. Hairlists
have changed hands to a moderate extent in the white
market, and the demand for white mediums has been more
I apparent. Prices rule firm.

MANUFACTURES. Rumakansw, JAN. I.—The
new year has opened with a flat market, few buyers from
• distance being present. The local merchants are doing a
little chiefly in spring goods to give a variety to their
stocks, but in the general trade business transactions have
been on a very limited scale. Some manufacturers are
busy in new patterns for the spring trade, but many com-
plaan that orders do not come in freely.

WOOLS.—II.ODDIRSFISLD, JAM I. There ham been
but little doing in any descriptions of wools either to-day
or during the week, but a good business is shortly ex-
pasted, and prices continue without change.

COBN.—lict c, JAN. I.—At to-day's market a fair
supply of Naglish wheat, which sells freely at fully
last week's currency. Foreign more inquired after, but the
high rates asked prevent much business. Barley, for malt-
ing, moves off more freely, at prices in favour of sellers;
grinding sorts neglected. Beans and peas dull and rather
lower to sell. Oats of fine quality support late rates, in-
ferior sorts rather cheaper. Arrivals for the week:—
Wheat, 10,480; barley, 7,192; oats, 3,472 ; beans, 1,129;
peas, 398 ; tares, 157 ; Indian oorn, 1,963 qrs.

IPSWICH, JaN. I.—There was a moderate supply of
wheat here to-day, for which there was a brisk demand,
at fully Is. to 2s. per qr. over last week's currencies.
Barley comes in less quantity, and all (militias are la. per
qr. dearer. Beans and peas firm.

LAMM, JAN. I.—As WAS very generally expected, the
advent of the new year is accompanied with an no.
proved feeling in the wheat trade. Our supplies are again
likely to be diverted from us, in consequence of French
buyers having again made their appearance on our east
coast markets, and a very large and active demand going
on in the Baltic, from France and Belgium, which will
considerably lessen our supplies in the spring ; with these
circumstances combined, it is not surprising to find prices
stiffen throughout all the English markets, and to-day
holders require an advance upon last week's rates, and
where sales are made hare no difficulty in obtaining one.
Barley and other articles are without any %iteration
worthy of note.

SALISBURY, JAN. 1.-Our market this day was thinly
attended and the supply of grain was short. There was
a general improvement in the wheat trade at last market's
prices. Flour unaltered in value. Choice samples of
malting barley were scares, selling at an improvement of
ls. to 2s. per qr. Malt trade dull, at let., pries'. In
other grams little business was due at firm quotations.

30s. ; beans, Otis. to Stis.; peas, 40s. to .12.5. ; rye. 375.
to 424. per qr. ; tares, 4s. bd. to 58. Lid. per bushel;

CATTLE.—SALISBURT, JAN. 1.-ONr market to-day
was thinly supplied. and the attendance of buyers short.
There were among the number on offer a few pens of
very fine animals, which sold at former rates ; trade,
generally, was slack, and very little business transacted.
In the pig market the supply was abort, trade was slack,
and prices remain exceedingly low for all descriptions.
