to a moderate extent. The foreign arrivals at Liverpool have -
again been liberal of wheat ; and tolerably fair of Indian corn.

oats, but large of oatmeal. The market this morning .was fairly
attended. Foreign wheat was held for an advance of 2d.; but

to-day trade was dull, and prices for all descriptions of grain re-

cattle trade to-day was characterised by an increased amount of
steadiness, the continuance of the cold weather having had a

have been expected. The demand for all qualities was mode-
rately active, and prices were well maintained. With sheep the
market was moderately supplied. Both inferior and prime

chased steadily, at the extreme currencies of Monday last.

The market was very quiet in tone. American wasin buyers'
favour. Sales 12;000 bales. Arrivals none.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, THURSDAY.—This market
continues generally steady to-day, but the business doing
daily is very limited, though the prices lately have been, and
are still, in favour of buyers. The daily decline is not quotable
while that of the week is only about id. per lb. on yarns and
lid. on shirtings. When producers are eager sellers they are
willing to make a slight concession on direct offers being made. -
BIRMINGHAM IRON TRADE REPORT, THURSDAY.—At
the meeting of ironinasters to-day it
.was reported that trade
was in a more favourable condition, owing to the probable solu-
tion of the Eastern question. The attitude of America, how..
ever, causes some e uneasiness, and complaints are made in many
quarters ; but it is a fact that most of the principal makers have
at present orders on hand which justify them in keeping close
to the list, so that there is no probability of prices being
altered at the preliminary meeting from the present basis of £3
per ton.
