limited demand at late prices. Indian corn from is to
2s dearer, and consequently a somewhat checked de-
mand. In other articles no change.

The general tone of the market to-day was very firm.
A good business is doing, and in many descriptions of
cloth batter prices have been obtained. In yarns for the
home market there has been an advance of one-eighth
per pound, and fur the kinds suitable for the Continent
there has been much more inquiry.

LEEDS CLOTH HALL, DEC. 12.
Very little business doing in the halls, the merchante
buying- very sparingly. Business in the warehouses very
alight, and of no importance.
LEEDS CORN MARKET, DEC. 12.
The supplies of wheat were moderate, but burr%
were by no means eager purchasers, and it was imP°B-
- to establish any advance upon Friday's rates
Barley steady. Oats and shelling as before. Beans and
'
other articles unchanged.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, DEc. 12.
Little or no business doing, and we may quote prices
the same as on Saturday last.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, DEc, 12.
The maiket is dull to-day, with a large supply. Prices
of sheep about the same as last week.
NEWCASTLE HAY MARKET, DEC. 12.
There was a large supply to-day. The market for
white dull, and prices lower.
HULL, DEC. 12.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright 's circular states that althoug-h
the actual business of the past week has been limited,
the general tone of the trade tended towards firmnesst
the impression prevailing that prices had seen the loweA
which feeling alone, from its generality, helped to check
the downward tendency we had to report last week. The
only improvement, however, that we can so far note, is
that sales have been made at prices not obtain-
able last Tuesday; demand is more active, but Big
attempt to get more money checks business. Toe
long prevalence of westerly winds keeps back sr:
rivals, but with the first change we may look for goo
choice in all kinds of grain. We had at to-day's war-
ket a good supply of wheat from the farmers: they sr
pected, and asked, more money, but the dull report fr°°2
London checked the spirit which might have been ex
pected in the trade; more looking after foreign, but e"
prices holders will not take--bonded finds more favour
than free. We cannot report any improvement in bar
ley; malting is still difficult of sale, and grinding is
offered on lower terms. In beans and peas no alteration;
of the former our chief supply is new foreign, mnstlzong
of condition, and much remains difficult of sale. Grind;
ing peas are superseded by cheaper feed, and the sale of
boiling is limited owing to the mild weather. In eats
we have nothing doing. Indian corn goes off at late
prices, say 31s to 325. Arrivals of linseed are still intv
derato, and being mostly for crusher's account little
comes on the market, which consequently remains !iron
—some fine East Indian feeding quality now on sale'
Cakes are unaltered in value with a very fair sale for
both English and foreign. No transactions in either
rapeseed or cakes to influence our quotations. Bona
more inquired for, but not many of good quality at pre'
sent offering.
