MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCH 4.NGE, FRIDAY.-Less animation was
noticed in the grain trade at Mark-lane to-day, and the trans-
actions actually concluded were far from being extensive.
Prices, however, were without any important alteration from
Wednesday last. There were limited arrivals of both English
and foreign wheat on sale, the condition of which was generally
inferior. The trade ruled quiet, and some difficulty was expe-
rienced in realising previous currencies. There was a good
show of malting barley, which sold slowly, at barely recent rates,
Grinding descriptions were unchanged. Malt was dull, and
prices were nominal. The market was scantily supplied with
oats. The inquiry was inactive, but prices were unaltered.

was a moderate demand for barrel flour, for whl4h full rates
were obtained Town and country marks were quiet, but un-

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.-There has been I
a decidedly quiet tone in the market to-day, and some irregu-
larity in prices prevails. There seems a further curtailment in
the demand for both goods and yarns, accompanied by a ten-
dency towards slight reduction in the values of both
staples. The amount of business for the past week has
been unusually small ; and there is no appearance
()rimy increase in demand, owing to the quieter state of the
cotton market. Buyers keep back in hopes of getting in at
lower prices shortly. The telegrams from China being unfavour-
able, there is little doing for that quarter. For Bombay there is
also little buying. The demand for extra yarns for Calcutta is
fair ; and also for the low qualities of shillings and similar
goods ; but for the better qualities, being already heavily bought,
there is not much inquiry. Home trade yarns are dull, the coarse an d
medium counts are easier to buy, but fine counts remain very
firm. For domestics, medium, and cloths, there is little in-
quiry, and prices are hardly maintained. Printing cloths are in
fair request, and prices for best makes are rather dearer.
Spinners on the whole are more easy to deal with at present
than manufacturer's, as the former are induced to sell freely
when their engagements are light, owing to the quiet state of
the cotton market.
SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, CARDIFF, FRIDAY.-The
terms of peace said to be demanded by Prussia have created a I
most unfavourable impression as to the future of our trade.
Business in almost every branch is dull, and merchants and
manufacturers alike are indisposed to enter on fresh transac-
tions. Were it not for the active demand from the United
States, the rail mills would have very little to do.
Bars and plates are in fair request-the latter
for shipbuilding purposes. Pigs are rather more
inquired for. In tin plates a slight improvement
has taken place, the reduction in the price of tin being in favour
of makers. The steam coal trade remains unchanged, no ap-
preeiable effect having as yet been produced by the armistice.
House coals are in good request. The projected South Wales
Coal and Metal Market, is to be held at Newport on Wednesday,
and at Swansea on Saturday in each week. The first market
will be held on Saturday, the 4th of Marsh at Swansea. There
has long been need of such a market to bring trade together.
LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.-Opening Report.-

from ls. 6d. to 2s. dearer.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.-Wheat is held
firmly for the extreme prices of last Friday at this market to-

barley the trade is quiet at last week's prices. Beans and oats

for wheat.

THE FLIGHT OF FRENCH FAMILIES TO JERSEY.
—The immigration of French families to the Channel
Islands has entirely ceased, and many have already re-
turned, via St. Malo and Granville, to their homes in the
provinces removed from the scene of hostilities. The
steamer for St. Malo, on Thursday, in addition to
numerous passengers, carried several bales of goods for
the sick and wounded, contributed by the inhabitants of
Jersey.
