GLASGOW MARKETS,

STOCKS AND SHARES.—The market was again weaker yes-
terday afternoon, and funds generally lower. Caledonian
Railway shares fell £2 per share. Aberdeen £2 ; Glasgow
and South-Western 10s. ; Edinburgh and Glasgow £4. To-day,
Tuesday, at noon, Caledonians are quoted at 474 to 47.
....

FLOUR.—The advance in flour has caused a further rise in
the price of bread, the 4 lb. loaf being raised to 9d. first
quality.
PRODUCR.-150 hhds. West India sugar sold yesterday at
about former rates. Ordinary brown, 325. 6d. to good mid-
dling, 345. Treacle in fair request, at 17s. to 17s. 3d., and
syrup 19s. 6d. to 225.
Cotton continues depressed, with very little doing, spinners
buying sparingly. Cotton yarns and piece goods are still inac-
tive, with prices further in favour of buyers.

The pig iron market was rather weaker yesterday, closing at
635, 6d. to 635. cash; sellers, 655. 6d. to 665.

QUICK DESPATCH--The Trinity Yacht, Captain
Hounsell, arrived in the King's Dock, on Friday evening,
with a large cargo of flint from Denia, and was again ready
for sea yesterday.
THE DYERS' STRIKE AT MANCHESTER.—The
state of affairs in regard to the strike of dyers, dressers, and
finishers, remains pretty much in the same condition as when
we last referred to it, if we except this, that a report has
reached us that one firm has offered to take back his hands,
at the old wages, for a month, and that then an advance
should be made. Meanwhile, the operatives remain in-
flexibly firm ; but we sincerely hope that if such a proposi-
tion has been made, they will accede to it, for should one
firm have made such a proposition, we are naturally led to
infer that others will speedily follow the example, and in
this way we hope soon to see a conclusion between a highly
important body of employers and operatives. Meanwhile,
the masters are obtaining an accession of fresh hands, but
it is said by those well-informed, that they are not the most
skilled in the trade.

PRESTWICH UNION.—At the meeting of the
Guardians of the Prestwich Union, held on Monday, the
medical officers of the Union were present, by invitation,
with a view of advising with the Board, as to the adoption
of some preventive measures, to avert the threatened
visitations of Cholera as far as may be. Arrangements were
made for a sanitary inspection of the various townships, by
a committee of the Guardians, and a medical officer, and it
was resolved, that the powers of the board, for cleansing
and purifying, be rigidly enforced. The reports of the
medical officers, as to the general health of their districts,
and the absence of diarrhoea, were very satisfactory. Two
thousand copies of a small hand-bill, entitled " plain advice
to all during the visitation of Cholera," were ordered to be
procured and distributed in the Union. The provisions o
the new Vaccination Act were considered ; and it was
thought expedient to alter the existing contracts for
Vaccination at present. The children belonging to the
Union, now inmates of the Swinton Schools, are to be
visited on Thursday next,
