MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.-The tone of
this market to-day is quiet, but a very steady feeling continues
to prevail, and Friday's quotations are firmly adhered to. There
is only a limited business doing, and the quieter reports of the
cotton market have caused the feeling here to be less busy than
on Saturday. The quotations of to-day do not total up large,
but there is a very general demand for both shipping yarns and
home trade also, especially the medium counts of the latter,
and the prices of all are well maintained. For
cloth the inquiry is still very considerable, especially for
quick delivery. But for the goods chiefly in request few makers
can accept orders on such terms, hence the actual business is
but moderate. Printing cloths of all kinds are in good demand,
an d are scarce. Heavy goods, such as domestic T eloths, long-
cloths, and similar goods for the home trade, are very quiet,
and the values of these are hardly steady. This is the only class
of goods which are neglected, and of which stocks exist.
Qnotations are the same as those of last Friday, and producers
can afford to adhere firmly to them, although they do little
businesss at present, as their engagements are still heavy. The
market closes quiet but steady.
LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.- The woollen cloth
trade, as indicated by the markets in the Cloth Halls this
morning, shews no change of importance. The attendance of
buyers was moderate, but their operations were restricted
to small selections of goods. Melton, both union
and all-wool plain and fancy coatings, and blank union cloths,
were sold in almost equal quantities. The sale of black super-
fines was very small. A few sales of good beavers,
both brown and blue, were effected, In the White
Hall and in Hairlists, and other plain goods in the
balk state, a moderate business was done. The represen-
tatives of shipping houses bought very few goods, and the only
class of cloths that are in good demand for exportation are the
low heavy fabrics required for the French and Prussian armies.
Prices of wool, woollen yarns, and goods, are all firm.
CLEVELAND IRON TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.-This
market is well attended to-day, and a cheerful tone prevails.
Number 3 is again quoted at 465. 6d. to 475., and a good deal of
business is being done. The holidays being now entirely over,
the furnaces and malleable works are again in full operation,
and the output is large and regular. There are more inquiries
for rails, and should the Conference have a satisfactory result,
this branch will receive a large accession of orders from Russia.
Plates angles partake in the business, which characterises ship-
building, and are in good request.
HULL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.-There was a fair show
of lean stock at this market to-day, with a moderate trade for
superior quality, at late rates. Milch cows, £l6 to £2O each ;
and heifers, £l2 to £l4 each ; calves, 20s. to 30s each : sheep,
from ass. to 44s each. Pigs were plentiful, and sold at the

former prices, and the market was well cleared.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this market
to-day cattle were chiefly of a middling quality, but sheep were

WHOLESALE SWINDLERS.—At Vienna, on the
12th, two Englishmen, named William HerYre o
G e nwo d
and William Levy, the former of whom gaven Cambridge-
road, West-end, as his last English residence, and the
latter Twickenham, were tried for passing forged checks
and letters of credit. They became acquainted in the
Queen's Bench Prison in 1856, and from that time, under
a variety of names, they travelled through Germany,
Austria, Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal,
Greece, Switzerland, Malta, an Madeira. They paid for
their lodging and for expensive articles which they bought
with forged checks on English banks, a number of which
were found upon them. They were arrested last March
at Vienna, just as they were on the point of proceeding to
Munich. They were convicted, and sentenced, Levy to
seven, and Greenwood to five years hard labour, at the
expiration of which time they are to be expelled from the
Austrian dominions.
[ADVERTISEMENT. }—Holloway's Pills. —Throughout all
classes of society the human frame is exposed to many acidvaried dangers. Disorders or disease will occasionally
attack the most cautious, though all have it in their power
to forearm themselves securely with these. noted pills
against the ever-impending battle. In the intermediate
seasons, when great vicissitudes of tempf3rature take
place, a dose or two of Holloway's regulating pills will
counteract their injurious tendency, and spare many the
sacrifice of health. No other combination of drugs can
produce such alterative, aperient, and tonic effects as are
daily felt and attested by thousands who have resorted to
this invaluable medicine, and gained a complete cure after
their maladies seemed past the reach of medical skill.
