WOOL AND WOOLLEN MARKETS

LEEDS (English and Foreign), May
.27.—There is no
improvement in the demand for English wool, the manufac-
turers buying nothing but what is absolutely required for
their present wants. The new clip has commenced rather
higher than the prices quoted for old stock, but it will be
some weeks before they are fairly established.
YOUR, Thursday.—At this market about 100 ,sheets of
wool were shown. Business was dull. A considerable
margin existed between
_prices asked and prices offered. The
transactions may be quoted as follows : All hog, 19s per
stone; hog and ewe, 17s 6d ; 'all ewe, 16s per stone.
BRADFORD, Thursday. -.We have again had a very inan-
imate market. In the price of wools there is no material
alteration.

HALIFAX, Friday Evening.—The general business of this
market shows increased depression, and both worsted yarns
and long wool exhibit a declining tendency, with very
limited sales. There is no alteration in the price of short
wool this week.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.---MAT

We have to report a good demand for cotton to-day, and
the better and useful qualities, which are only in limited
supply, are 1-16 d to ea; per lb dearer, whilst the low sandy
grades, of which the bulk of the offerings consists, are still
difficult of sale at old rates. The sales—including 60 Per-
nambuco at B:Td to 814 d 50 Bahia, 7d ; 100 Maranham,
71d ; 200 Egyptian, 74d to 74d ; and 1,000 Surat, 48c1 to
51-4 d—are reported 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 are on spe-
culation and for export.

The mining market to-day is rather quiet, hut steady. On
the Stock Exchange; Alfred Consols are officially marked 7,
and West Caradon 1121 ex div. There have also .been
transactions in' shares in East Wheal RuSsell, Wheal Mar:

Trenerorn Mines. mining shares haVe been dealt
in at 125.6 d, - Foreign and. colonial descriptions generally
are inanimate.

Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal market :
There has been a little more business in this market during
the week than for several weeks past, but most articles are
still very stagnant. Copper finds no buyers, but government
advertises again for 250 tons- manufactured.'- Iron is lower
in price for both merchant descriptions and Scotch pig, and
the'demand is slack. Tin is firm in. price, although buyers
do not come forward. The fixing of the Dutch Trading
Company's sale for July 7 next, when 146,214 slabs will be
offered, against 190,800 offered last year, is important as
affecting this metal. Lead continues firm in price, and in-
good demand. Spelter still attracts attention, and keeps
steady in price. Tin plates are in rather better demand.
At a meeting of the adventurers in Wheal Margaret, held
25th inst., a dividend of £5 per share was declared.
The accounts presented at the meeting of shareholders in
East Wheal Tolgus, held on the 24th just., showed a balance
in favour of the mine of £l7O 2s 6d.

LONDON MONEY MARKET.— MAY 28.
Consols opened firm at 921 to 921, and afterwards advanced
upon money purchases to 92=4 to 921, at which price they
were steady. Shares very inactive, but firm in ton(

ONCASTER CORN MARKET.—MAY 28.
Fair supply of wheat for this period of the year, but not
so extensive as last week. The best runs of white• made
nearly last week's prices ; secondary qualities neglected, and
6d per bushel lower. The tone of the market is fiat, and
there is now some accumulation of wheat in warehouses.
The trade for spring corn was also dull, and beans and oats
each rather cheaper ; grinding barley dull of sale. •

NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET.—MAY 28.
There was a small supply' of farmers' wheat, which sold

millers' views, little business has been done. On the whole,
there is a better feeling in the trade. Flour in largo supply
from Norfolk ; sale slow, but prices firm. Barley sells
freely at late rates. Nothing doing in oats ; holders
generally asking more money. Peas and beans cpiet.
