MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FRlDAY.—Heaviness has been
the feature of the grain trade at Mark-lane to-day. The supplies
have been quite on an average, and in excess of requirements.
The receipts of English wheat have been good, and a fair supply
has been received from abroad. The demand has been inactivo
at Monday's reduced quotations. Moderate supplies of barley
have been on offer. Sales have progressed quietly at about late
rates. Malt has been dull, on former terms. Oats have been dealt in
to a fair extent, at previous quotations. The supply has been
good. Beans and peas have been quiet and unaltered. Flour
has sold slowly, at Monday's prices. Arrivals.—English and
Scotch : Wheat, 1,800 ; barley, 180 ; and malt, 620. Foreign :
Wheat, 23,830 ; barley, 3760 ; oats, 68,870 ; beans, 1,150 ; peas,
1,650 ; flour, 3,120 barrels ; and maize, 200 qrs.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FRlDAY.—Opening Report :
This market was but poorly attendeu to-day. Prices were
nominally at Tuesday's rates. Indian corn was decidedly easier,
and prospects were certainly against holders of every article.
Closing Report : There was but a poor attendance. The low
qualities of red wheat were rather pressed for sale at a reduc-
tion of 2d. per cental since Tuesday last. White wheat was ld.
per cental lower. Flour was dull and nominally unchanged in
value. Oats and meal were without demand and tending
downwards. Indian was in liberal supply and declined Is. per
4801bs.

LINCOLN CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—At this market to-day
wheat was slightly lower than last week. There was plenty
showing. Trade was good. Barley 38s. to 40s. per quarter ; oats,
beans, and peas were the same as last week. Business was
brisk.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—Wheat meets with
very limited demand, and prices are fully one shilling lower
than last Friday. New barley meets a fair inquiry, at 355. to
395., but as yet prices are irregular. Beans and oats are un-
altered.

METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET, FRIDAY.-The market
has been moderately supplied with meat. For all qualities the
market has been buiet, at about late quotations. Inferior

BOROUGH HOP MARKET, FRIDAY.-The hops are now
coming freely to hand, and they are readily disposed of at full
quotations. With but few exceptions the quality is good. Old
deseriptions have been in limited request. Mid and

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRlDAY.—Opening report.
—Official figures.--Imports, '34,966 bales ; sales, 63,250 bales
stock, 494,350 bales, of which 195,420 bales are American, and
172,080 bales are East Indian. 50,020 bales were taken by the

port, 15,354 bales. Mid Orleans, fold. ; Mobiles Old. ; Upland,
9d. ; fair Egyptians, 11d. ;

stock is attracting attention. The market opened with a strong
demand, indicating sales of 12,000 bales, and probably more.
Closing Report : The transactions of the day reach 15,000 bales ;
3,000 on specie for export. Market, though not quotably dearer,
is I higher for mid-Americans.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, FRmly.—The tone of
this market continues very quiet, but steady in price, at last
Tuesday's rates. In some cases producers demand a slight ad-
vance, owing to the activity of the cotton market, but buyers
steadily resist this, and act with great caution. and buy only
where there is a desire to sell at old prices. The business done
lately has been only moderate, as large buyers for the East are well
satisfied with their recent extensive purchases, and this class of
business is further restricted by spinners and manufacturers of
goods suitable for the East being well engaged and unable to
undertake further contracts. For early delivery for the
Continent the trade is still in abeyance. For the Levant and
Egypt a moderate business has been done. The home trade
houses are still quiet, and buying little, their recent purchases
being still sufficient for their wants. The further reduction of
the Bank rate to 31 per cent. has had no influence on this
market, but it may indirectly by strengthening cotton. Quota-
tions are unchanged since Tuesday, but more firmly adhered to.

SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The protracted
nature of the Franco-Prussian war seems likely to exercise a
prejudicial influence on the iron trade. Inquiries from the
Continental market have almost ceased, and the rail mills de-
pend chiefly . upon American, colonial, and Russian
speculations. Pig iron continues to
be dull of sale,
but a slight improvement is noticeable in the
inquiry for bars, plates, and other miscellaneous descriptions
of make. Tin plates command a fair American sale, but makers
are not altogether satisfied with the price realised. The steam-
coal trade maintained a satisfactory condition, continental re-
quirements being large and realised. Tonnage is not difficult to
obtain. The tone of the house-coal trade is quiet, but winter
ycash,market n
purchases are about to commence.
