has been in limited request, at about late rates. Coffee has been
steady, on former terms.

rate attendance at the public sale of colonial wool to-day, The

DONCASTER CATTLE MARKET, SATIIRDAY.—There was a
poor show of both sheep and cattle at the market to-day. Both
are better to sell, for the farmers are in good spirits, the abun-
dant rain giving them good promise of food, and inspiring them
with confidence. Pigs to-day were rather cheaper.
DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, SATURDAY.—There was a
very large show of wool to-da,y and the market was somewhat
heavy; nevertheless, generally speaking, the prices were well
maintained.

DONCASTER CORN MARKET, SATURDAY.—Beans are one
shilling and oats sixpence per qr. dearer to-day. There is a good
show of wheat, but buyers want a reduction in price, which the
farmers refuse to give. In the other cereals there is no altera-
tion.

NORWICH CORN MARKET, SATURDAY.—Averages to-day at
this market :—Wheat 1,384 quarters, 475. 9d. per qr. There was
a moderate business done in wheat at fully ls. per qr. advance.

LIVERPOOL COPPER MARKET, SATURDAY.—This market

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—There has been about
the usual attendance in the cloth halls, It is evident that the
demand for nearly all kinds of fabrics is better, though it has not
expanded much since the last report. The increased
activity is specially marked in the case of the better
class of houses, who have had visits from London,
Manchester, Glasgow, and Liverpool buyers. The fall
trade, however, has scarcely yet begun, and it may be
the beginning of July before the various agents bespeak with
their usual spirit their necessary supplies of thick and other
winter cloth. A new style of Tweed, much fancied, is of blue
lavender shade. Blue, greys, and maroons aee also fancied in
some quarters. The winter cloths just now most speculated in
are lamb's, skin, and these will, to a great ex-
tent supersede beavers, but until stock taking is over
not much will be done in them. Prices are a little stiffer ;
mangoes (some lots having been withdrawn at a private sale at
Wendsbury) are hard to sell. The crucible stell trade is one of
the most active here, and machinery fittings are cast in that
metal abundantly to be exported to:foreign parts.
READING CORN MARKET, SATuaDAL—Business com-
menced much later than usual this morning. The supply of
wheat was short, and the large advance asked by the sellers
considerably checked operations. In one or two instances 3s.
per qr. more money was given, but the average rise per qr. did
not exceed two shillings. The trade in barley was small, and
the rates quoted were merely nominal. Oats were firm, at late
rates. Beans and peas were scarce, and a trifle dearer. Dealers
expected much lower prices in consequence of the late heavy
showers.

GLOUCESTER CORN MARKET, SATURDAY.—There was a
fair supply of English wheat at this market to-day, which met
a slow sale, at from ls. to 28. per qr. advance. Foreign wheat
held for about 3s. advance, which prevented business in that
grain. Maize ls. to 2s. per qr. dearer. Oats 6d. dearer, but the
sale was not so aetive as in the earlier part of the week.
ABERDEEN CATTLE TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—The
trade throughout the country during the week has been brisk,
and a good demand exists in most districts for fat supplies. The
markets are short of their average shows, and in some instances
the supply has been absolutely deficient. Store cattle are in
demand, at advanced rates. Owing to the improved state of
pastures, prices have ruled high ; the average for best fat beasts
ranging from 675. or 68s. to quite 70s. ; and secondary qualities
obtain 625. to 665. ; inferior, froth 555. to 565. The trade in sheep
has been good, mutton selling at from 6d. to 70. per pound.

to-day is scarce, and 2s. dearer-4s. to 2s. ; barley, Is. ; oats, ls.
