The Breadstuff trade remains very firm. At our
market to-da3 ordinary qualities of Wheat were
quoted id, and superior 3d per bushel, above the
rates of this day week. Flour meets with a fair
demand, at full prices. Beans are firmer, and
Oatmeal is the turn in faAur of the seller.
At our Produce Market's to-day, there was
nothing done in Sugar, Molasses, or Rum. For
Coffee the demand was pretty good at full prices.
Holders of Rice having accepted moderate terms,
nearly 20,000 bags changed hands to-day. In
London to-day, there was a better demand for
Saltpetre at a slight advance; and Indigo was also
rather higher. Tallow was firm.
Mr. F. H. 111‘Leod, of Glasgow, in his Wool
Circular for the week ending Bth January, says

go higher. It is to be hoped that no political event will
occur on the Continent •to disturb the peace of Europe.
There is no doubt that if disturbances arise between France
and Austria, a very serious depreciation in the value of stock
would immediately take place. Stocks being very low,
the effect will be less felt here, but the consequences
to the continental wool trade would be most disastrous.
Black-faced laid and white are very scarce, and for first-
rate quality, of which the market is nearly bare, very
high rates are asked. Laid washed Cheviot is a good
deal inquired after, and the quantity on hand is very
small. All bright-haired Wool, as white Cheviots, half-
breds, and Leicesters, are scarcely obtainable at reason-
able Vacs. Operations in foreign "Wools are restricted
at present, and the Liverpool Wool Sales commence on
the 18th of this mouth, when a considerable quantity will
be offered to competition. There will be 14,000 bales
East India exposed, and it is to be hoped that they will
all be cleared off at good rates, as these "Wools have not
by any means kept pace with other descriptions, owing
to the depression which has been severely felt in the
blanket and carpet districts. _ _ _ _

Messrs. Thomas Tipping and Co., favour us with
a copy of the annual circular of Messrs. Logarde
and Co., of Nantes, dated the Bth instant, from
which we make the following extract :
The past year has been, with very few exceptions, un-
profitable to all concerned in the corn trade. Since
December, 1857, the prices of wheat and flour have con-
tinually given way until May, when some demands of
wheat for Spain and Belgium, and of rye for the Rhine,
imported a firmer tone to the trade. . BUt the produce of
the new crop being large, a slow but uninterrupted
decline prevailed again, and was not stopped before the
see2nd fortnight of December, when about 30,000
quarters of our best wheats have been shipped in
a hurry to Spain. Now the importation is provision-
ally forbidden in that country, but all the Portu-
guese ports are open, and the first descriptions of
wheat are paid dearer for that destination, than the
English markets allow to pay them for the other side of
the channel. Flour has shown considerable activity
during the week, and prices have advanced If. 6e.
per 2801bs. from the lowest point. There is also a good
demand for Rye, and 12f. 25c per 75 kilograms is allowed
freely, freight to Holland or Antwerp included. Barley
is quite neglected ; Satimur is scarce and it would
be difficult to fill up large orders now. We
have no transactions to remark in Beans, Oats,
or Buck-wheat, and the prices quoted are merely
nominal. Rapeseed fluctuated considerably in
the last months of 1858, but the demand keeping large
for the mills in our neighbourhood, the prices of October
last can be realised for the best qualities. •Linseed is
neglected. The Clover Seed crop being hardly sufficient
for local consumption, none is offering, (or ex

Refined Sugar is demanded at 40s ; and Treacle arl-6;
per cwt. Vessels are scarce. Freight South of Eng-
land, 12s to 14s 6d ' • North of England, Scotland, and
Ireland, 17s 6d to lOs per ton.

YESTERDAY'S MARKETS.
Itvaaroor. PRODUCX. Colonial, &c.: We have no transactions
to notice in Sugar, Molasses, or Rum. The small public sale of
Jamaica Cnffer went off with fair spirit, 50 tierces realising
chiefly 70s to 90s for low to good middling, up to 113 s per cwt.
for fine, but the Singapore and other foreign descriptions were
withdrawn. Some considerable parcels of Rice were offered
by anQttozi_tlAs Awning, and the moderate prices now current
