bales mold at full prices.

In other articles no material alteration.

Ltow.—The market is firm at the subjoined quotations:—
Town tallow 47s 9d to 48•,, nett cash ; Petersburg Y.C. on the spot,.
49s 6d; July, 49N 6d; August and September, 49s 61; October and,
December, 49; 9d.

Boaonan 11-P.—The accounts from the hop plantations aro
much less iavourable. The late storms of wind and rain appear to
have done much damage, and the duty is declining. Fine hops in
fair demand at about late prices.

Hor INTELLIGENCE.—The South Eastern Gazette reports pro-,
gress of th e hops. In the Maidstone district the hop grounds have,
within the last few days, urdergone some change. Although there
are few vermin to be-seen the plants in some grounds have an un-
favourable appearance, and there is a good deal of slack bine ; in
many places the plants are growing fresh shoots from the roots. In
Horsmonden the hops are still making steady progress, and are frce
from vermin. In many gardens the lateral shoots are coming out
well, and are looking very luxuriant. The reports from several dis..
tricts in Sussex state that the hoi s during the last week have made
less progress than during the few hot days and nights previously;,
the cold nights lately having considerably ins eded their growth..
The general opinion of growers, however, seems to be that the crop,
is likely to be much larger than was at first anticipated. About
Canterbury the improvement lately observable has continued in the
younger portion of the plantations, but the three or four nights of"
last week have altered the appearance of the older and weak
grounds, which now generally show a yellowaess at bottom and
sickly Midsummer shoots. Some fly and lice still hang about, and'
at places much honey-dew. Altogether the prospect is by no means,
so promising as last week.

CORN.—The receipts of all descriptions of grain and flour have
been moderate since Monday, in a measure perhaps owing to the
recent heavy gale. At most of the country markets held yesterday,
farmers were enabled to obtain an advance of Is per quarter on
wheat, and the few parcels of English on sale this morning realised
pr ces which could not be made on Monday. Foreign wheat in some
instances was Is dearer. Barley very firm. Oats—There were a few
sold at the quotations of last market day. Beans and pease fully as
dear. Arrivals into London from July 7th to July oth.—English
and Scotch—Wheat, 1,210; barley, 20; oats, 570; mat, 1, 070.
Irish—Barley, 120; oats, 8,100. Foreign—Wheat, 1,030 qrs; barley,.
150 qrs ; oats, 6,230 qrs.

BELFAST LINEN TRADE CIRCULAR

DRAWN ITT BY A COMMITTEE OF THE LINEN TRADE

APPOINTED UNDER THE SANCTION OF THE BELFAST

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

Monday Evening, July 7, 1856.
Fnax.--The heavy rains, which still continue, have, in a few in-
stances, laid some of the earlier sown fields of flax, but no injury Is
anticipated unless the present wet weather should not change. The
crop looks well. In the country flax markets th, quantity brought,
for sale last week was under the previous one, only SO tons appe,r-
ing in five of the principal markets. The demand is not' so brisk,
especially for lower qualities, the recent arrivals of Riga flax coming
into competition with hand-scutched and low milled. We quote
the range-7s 6d to Ils for milled, and 6s 3d to 7s 9d for hand-
scutched, per stone of 10Iha. Of the cargoes of Riga flax recently
arrived, the following sales are reported :—XPCM, at £42 per ton ;
FPCII, £42, FLPCM, s£43: FWPCM, £44. Holders ask, for
WPHT XWPHT, 10s; X WCM, £43 10; WCM, £42
10s. Arrivals last week from the Baltic consisted of three cargoes,
making total direct imports, this season, 1.6e4 tons.
Tow —The deman I is steady and extensive.
YARNS.—The prAnction continues full, but stocks with spinner*
are moderate. The demand for prime warps is active, and prices
are stiffening. Wefts, from 6a to 104 leas, have a downward ten-
dency. For other sorts the demand is good, and prices firm.
