12,000 bales.

sacks, 4,623 barrels ; oatmeal, 339 sacks.

MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—This market
cannot be reported to have changed in any respect since last
Tuesday. Producers are still unwilling to concede anything in
price, which causes operations to assume a very unimportant
character—this applies particularly to the India and China
markets. Printing cloths remain firm, and in fair demand.
Th?re is a considerable amount of business being done in goods
suitable for South America, and at fair remunerative rates.
Shipping yarns remain quiet ; hut home trade qualities are
extremely firm and in fair demand.
HULL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a poor show
of cattle at this market to-day, and no business doing in conse-
quence of farmers holding their stock. Prices as follows :
Mulch cows, £l6 to £2O each ; lean beasts, £l4 each. There
were only two pens of sheep shown, and those were not sold.
Higher prices wero asked for mutton—namely, 7d. per lb. There
was a fair show of pigs, but no business was done. Stores, 50s.
each. Pork, 7s. per stone.

at this market to-day than last week. Sales are slow. Hog
fleeces, 21s. to 225.; ewes, 16s. to 175.; half hog and half ewe, 18s.
to lls.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—There was an average
attendance in the cloth hall to-day, but the numbers included
only a few buyers. Those from the metropolis and chief towns
scarcely did more than make inquiries. Tweeds and
coatings. are much duller, und, contrary to their
expectations, it is most likely that manufacturers
will have to curtail working hours. There appear to be some
symptoms of a Canadian trade springing up. This has led to a
getter enquiry for beavers, and also a more free enquiry,iu the
home trade ; still the fall trade does not increase, and both
buyers from a distance and local houses are comparatively in-
different to hastening it forward. The piece goods trade is steady
and prices are unchanged. White goods and Victorias have
sold quicker than anything else to-day. The local flax trade
has only slightly improved, and threads are made more for
stock than for immediate consumption. The coal trade in this
district is no slacker than usual at midsummer. At the Aller-
ton pits, where there has been a strike for twenty-two weeks,
5,000 tons are raised weekly, and the non-unionist men earn
on an average 355. weekly.

BELFAST LINEN TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The demand
for roughs of approved makes continues steady, at late rates.
Other makes are still neglected, at irregular prices. Stocks are
stationary. The demand for linen handkerchiefs is quiet. The
productions are not extensive, consequently stocks are light.
Prices are stationary. Some symptoms of improvement manifest
themselves in cambric handkerchiefs. Stocks and prices shew
little alteration. For diapers there is a moderately steady de-
mand. Stocks are well kept in check. Prices are steady. There
is rather more doing in damasks, still sales were by no means
extensive. The stocks are somewhat reduced,- but there- is no
change in prices. There is a fair moderate request for drills.
Manufacturers are still working to order. Stocks are stationary;
and prices are well maintained. Light linens are declining.
