TRADE REPORTS.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The tone of the market to-day
was rather firmer, especially for cloth, and more business
would have been done if spinner; and manufacturers
were induce had not
exercised so much caution about selling, as they d
to do by the steadier tone of the cotton market. The dispo-
sition on the part of buyers to enter into further contracts was
more apparent yesterday and to-day ; but the firmness of sel-
lers curtailed the actual business very much. In yarns
there is not much doing except for immedieate
qualities
are barely supported. Cloth, on the other hand, is very
firm, and a large business would have resulted if makers had
conceded lid. per piece, which they are unwilling to do, in
view of a steadier cotton market. Stocks of nearly every
description of yarn and cloth are quite unimportant. Prices
to-day for 39in. shi. tings, 71bs., ordinary to best makes, 7s. 70.
to Ss. ; ditto, Bulbs., 9s. to 9s. 6d. Number 40's mule, good
seconds, 13d. Thirties water twist, 121 d. The market, closed
quiet, but very steady.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The weather being foggy this morning,
rendered it difficult to judge of the merits of light goods.
There was rather less business done than there would have
been under more favourable circumstances. There was not
much less done, however, to-day than on this day week, and
there was quite as good an attendance of buyers. Light coatings,
meltons, and tweeds were the chief classes of goods in which
sales were effected ; but there were a few sales of plain whites
of medium qualities and other ordinary goods. There were
some tolerably good deliveries in the course of the day at the
merchants' warehouses of goods, which had not been in the
public markets. Prices of goods, also those of wool, oil, and the
other raw materials are firm. There is no change to notice in
the flax trade, which keeps rather quiet. The reports as to the
iron, machinery, and tool trades are generally satisfactory. A
good deal is doing in tools and machines more or less connected
Governmentswar and large orders are on hand for several European
besides those of France and Germany.

CORN MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. This market opens very quiet to-day,
but without change in prices for any articlesince Friday. Closing
Report.—There was a fair trade done in wheat at this market
to-day. Prices were rather in favour of sellers, but not
quotably dearer. Flour was a slow sale. Indian corn retails at
3d. advance since Friday.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Wheat meets a slow sale at ls. per quarter
decline. Spring corn unaltered.
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, TUESDAY.--At this market to-day
there were very few deliveries ; and sales were slow at Satur-
day's rates. In some cases reduction was accepted in order to
effect sales. Very little business was done by factors.
