The iNlanchester Market exhibited a dull aspect
to-day, and closed at the following prices :
Sheffields, 374; pdons, 10-1; Caledonians, ;
and Leeds, new shares, 1.104. At Leeds there MtS
very little doing. 'Leeds Shares brought 99; and
Midlands Closed at' 81.

The Consol Market was very dull to-day, and
quotations are a shade lower, closing very inactive
at 921 to 934 for Money, and '93 3-16 to 93 5-16
for the account. Exchequer Bills were also
inactive, and closed at 1 dis to 3 pm.
In the London Railway Share Market we have
no improvement to notice. The transactions are
very limited, and prices tend downwards. The
following were the closing prices ;—Ambergate, Not-
tingham', and East Junction, 47041; Caledonian, 681

The general trade of the country in Breadstuffs
varies but little in prices, though the tendency con-
tinues rather downwards, and decidedly so for
inferior new wheats; supplies are beginning to
come forward from the near continent to the east'
coast of England, but their quality is pronounced-
second rate, and is too much like the.character of the
English crop to be desirable for admixture. The
American markets are reported rather lower ; the
shipments of Breadstuffs thence to Great Britain
continue upon a limited scale. The trade here in
the interval from Friday last has ruled equally dull
as previously, • pricea of most articles showing a
further drooping tendency. We have to note
moderate arrivals of Wheat, but large of Indian
Corn and Flour, during the past seven days; the
exports are principally corfined to Indian Corn ;
the shipments of which amount to 12,090 quarters.
Although very high gales of wind have prevailed,
field operations in -this direction have progressed
satisfactorily; the show of farmer's wheat to day
was consequently small, yet upon a slow demand
rather lower prices were conceded.

The Manehester Market yesterday opened
very firmly, but buyers resisted any' advance, and
only paid it when compelled. The Liverpool
Market report was very disappointing.
We have late advises from Sydney and Met-
bourne by an arrival at Plymbuth. At Sydney
trade was rather dull, but full prices were current
for imports, Exported articles, such as Wool and
Copper Ore,' were in good demand. At Melbourne
the rates of Exchange had advanced 1. per cent, and
a corresponding advance . had taken place in,the
price of gold. Standard gold in bars was worth
74s 9d. Castlemaine and Bendigo was selling at
76e 9d to 77S per oz. The escorts brought down for
the week ending December 22, reached 60,111 oz.
9 dwts above the weekly 'average for the year.
Making the total amount received by escort during
the year, 2 527,300 oz 15 dwts„; value 11,605,063/.
The Wool Trade was active, and about 1500 bales
had changed hands 'during the week at very full
prices. There was a considerable inquiry for.
Tallow, arid Hides were still sought after.
In South Australia the crops promise well. .

The Leeds Chamber of CJrnmerce have petitioned par.
liament in favour of the Liverpool Docks and` Mersey
Conservancy Bill.
The Sardinian Chamber has granted a credit to
the ministry of 5,000,000 for the carrying on of the fortifi-
cations of Alessandria, by the overwhelmning majority of
106 votes against 14 An immense sensation has been
produabd by the vote, which is interpreted by the enemies
of Italy as a demonstration of distrust if not of hostility
'towards Austria.
