MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY.—The grain trade al
Mark-lane to-day has been in a depressed state. The demon(

for English wheat has been dull, End prices have given way Is.
to 2s. per quarter. In foreign wheat transactions have been
restricted, at a similar reduction. The market has been mode-
rately supplied with barley. The business doing has been
trifling, and difficulty has been experienced in realising late
prices. Malt has been dull, on former terms. Oats have not
been freely offered. The trade has been firm, and prices have
been well maintained. Beans have fallen ls. per quarter, and
flour has given way ls. per sack and barrel. Peas have sold slowly,
at late currencies. Maize has been firm in value, with a fair
inquiry. For flour the demand has been to a very moderate
extent, and American barrels ex-ship do not make more
than 28s.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

19 21

BOROUGH HOP MARKET, MONDAY. Throughout the
past week considerable firmness prevailed. Choice hops, being
scarce, experienced a healthy inquiry, at extreme quotations.
Other grades were purchased to a moderate extent, and full
prices were obtained. The import into London last week con-
prised of 358 bales from Antwerp, 254 Bremen, 74 Gluckstadt,
752 New York, and 102 from Ostend. Mid and East Kent,
£2 Os. to £7 Os. per cwt. ; Weald of Kent, £2 Os. to £3 155.;

£5 12s. ; olds, £1 Os. to £2los.
COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE MARKET, Mori-
DAY.—Business in the market has been restricted, and no
material alteration has taken place in quotations. The indigo
sales also have passed off without quotable change. In six days
3,820 chests have been sold, 1,852 bought in, 3,078 withdrawn,
8,750 have passed, and 910 remain, snaking together a total of
9,060 chests. The auctions will terminate early to-morrow.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAY.—No change
whatever has occurred at this market since Friday. The actual
business doing is below the usual average of late ; but spinners
and manufacturers have numerous contracts still running, and
are therefore under no particular necessity to sell, except when
full rates can be obtained. Buyers decline to give this, and
prices consequently are nominally unchanged since' Friday,
though the tendency is still tending downwards.
LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY,—At this market
to-day the supply of cattle and sheep was about the tame as on
last Monday. The demand was very good for both at full prices.
Beef, 60. to 8141. per lb.; sheep, 71d. to 9d. per lb. There were
at market 2,013 cattle and 5,945 sheep,
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—Opening Re
port —There is a fair general demand at this market to-day, and
the sales will probably reach 10,000 bales. Closing report.—
Sales, 12,000 bales, including 2,000 for speculation and export.
There has been a better demand, and prices are steadier.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, NIoNDAY.—At this
market to-day there was a fair business done, at steady prices.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, MONDAY.—Market firmer,
525. to 525. I.ld. cash, and 525. 3d. to 525. 41d. paid in a month.
Closing rather. Buyers at the higher quotations.
CORK BUTTER MARKET, 3.loNDAY.—Ordinary firsts 138 s

seconds, 148 s. ; thirds, 1345.: fifths, 945. ; sixths, 70s.- Mild
cured firsts, 150 s. ssconds, 1495. ; thirds, 1495. Ninety firkins
in the market.

Although the previous week finished with a frost of 8
degrees, the weather broke rapidly, and the past week
has been one of unusual mildness, with fine days oc-
casionally, which have helped farmers to make a begin-
ning with their beans and peas, and to prepare the
land for sowing. Already the meadows have a bright
and pi omising look, and seem likely to soon afford a
bite to the cattle, so much needed, while with a tempera-
ture of 40 degrees a foot deep in the soil, a general
movement in vegetation may be expected. The
three visitations of intense frost have, however,
already left their mark. Winter beans and oats have,
in some instances, wholly perished, so has the mangel
wttrzel planted out in the autumn for seed, as the wheat
itself on light lands has suffered, but no harm is reported
on the heavier soils, and the winter tares appear to have
escaped. This is a very material thine: under our present
scarcity of fodder.----Mark Lane Express.

CHARLES MATHEWS' FAREWELL TO AUSTRALIA.
—Mr. Charles Mathews has terminated a most successful
series of performances in Australia, and took leave of the
Melbourne audience on Christmas-eve. The Australian
papers consider that a new era in the dramatic history of
the colonies will date from the visit of the distinguished
comedian, and declare that the dramatic public regard it
as a privilege to have had him amongst them. In his
closino. address, Mr. Mathews said, to sum up the result
of his long stay iu the colonies, he would mention that
the result had been unalloyed satisfaction. He had
experienced perfect pleasure, tcgether with plenty of
profit. Mr. Mathews added that he had never passed a
more agreeable time anywhere, cr met with more friendly
people in every grade, the intelligent working classes
forming one of the most striking features of the colonies
by their civility and kindness. With his usual facetious-
ness, Mr. Mathews begged his audience not to think he
was flattering, as he had nothing to gain further. His
benefit was over. Instead of visiting a foreign coun-
try, he found himself at home, for there was nothing to
be got in London that could not be procured in Melbourne,
except a real November fog.
