less money. In flour little was done. Prices were in buyers'
favour. Beans and peas were 6d. per quarter cheaper. Barley
was unchanged. Oats sold rather cheaper. Oatmeal made 6d.
per load lower. For Indian corn there was a fair demand, at the
extreme prices of this day se'maight.

demand for wheat at this market tq-day, and prices were fully
ls. per qr. lower. There was not a large supply of fine malting
barley, but more than found buyers, and prices are decidedly
easier. Secondary sorts were difficult to self •at the lately re-
duced quotations. Seed corn is firmly held.

doing in pigs, and prices were lower, not exceeding 7s. 6d. per

very poor show at this market to-day, but last week's prices were

DUNDEE LINEN TRADE, TUESDAY. Messrs. George
Armistead and Co. report that the flax market was very firm,
and a large business done in spot goods at rather higher prices.
Holders now require about £2 advance on lowest rates. Yarn
market very firm at an advance of last week. Linens and jute
goods in active demand at former prices.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY. The tosia
of our market has improved to-day, as it is believed that the
Russian demands will be discussed at a Conference in London,
and it is hoped that peace will thus be arranged. But as yet
there is no material increase of business. The buying for
India is still next to nothing. The markets there are indeed
overstocked with Manchester goods, and some heavy losses
have been made in connection with them. For China there
is rather more doing, the accounts from that quarter being
favourable. Buyers, however, find much difficulty in plachig
orders for quick delivery, and on this account rather
less is done than would otherwise be the case. Yarns for
shipping, except China qualities, are much neglected ; but prices
are steady. Water twist for China is in fair request.. Home
trade yarns are only moderately dealt in at steady rates. Spin-
ners ask an advance, and stop business in cloth. The principal
demand is for shirtings suitable for China, makers for which
goods are generally well engaged. Printed cloths are in very
limited request. Heavy goods ar 3 also quiet. The business of
the day has been small. Quotations remain unaltered ; the ten-
dency was slightly in favour of sellers in the early part, of the
day, but at the close the tone was hardly so good.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TOSSDAY.—There wan about Use
usual attendance in the cloth hall to-day ; but a few Bradford
buyers were the only parties from other towns who had any
wants to supply. They were looking outfor any chance for lots
of thick woollens, at from 2s. 4d. to 3s. The Dewsbury, Batley
and other makers of this class of goods are as busy as ever, the
demands of both German and French contractors being most
pressing, Some fresh orders have been given out for spring
coatings, and the fancy trade of Huddersfield is being well sup-
ported by our merchants. Some of the larger houses, knowing
what are likely to be the most saleable goods three or four
month hence, are buying speculatively. In other respects
the woollen trade is flat, even Union tweeds and
Hairlists are taken for stock more than for immediate conver-
sion. The flax mills are scarcely running full time. Felt carpet
makers are affected by the war. The iron and engine works are
fairly employed for the time of year, and the war combined.
The heaviest work hi hand Is for India and South America.
The silk machinery, if made in the neighbourhood, is in great
demand.

CLEVELAND IRON TRADE, TUESDAY.—This market was
thinly attended to-day, owing to the School board Elections
which are absorbing the interest of the trade. There was very
little business doing and chiefly for immediate consumption.
Prices of pigs may be quoted at No. 1,40 s. ad. ; No. 3, 465. 6d. ;
and No. 4, 455. 61 The Russian difficulty still exerts a
depressing influence on the market. although the
general opinion is that the war cloud will blow away,
as far as this.country is concerned. Stocks, it is believed, are
decreasing, and deliveries, inland and coastwise, are well main-
tained, although continental shipment, except per steamer to
Antwerp, is quiet, The rail market is steady, at previous quo-
tations. Of late there have been many inquiries from abroad,
and chiefly from Russia, but makers being generally sold for in
advance, are cautious in their operations, and exhibit a ten-
dency to cultivate the home trade until the political horizon
wears a more peaceful aspect. Angles and ship plates are not
in great demand.

GLASGOW PIG IRONMARKET, TUESDAY.—Opeuing, Report.
—This market to-day was flat. Business was done at 51s. lltd.
to 515., cash prompt ; closing, buyers, 51s. cash, sellers wanting

to-day. Sellers, 51s. Id. cash in a week. Buyers, 51s.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, TUESDAY.—There
was a fair business done to-day. Prices without alteration.

CORK BUTTER MARKET, TUESDAY. Ordinary firsts,
1335.: seconds, 1275.; thirds, 110 s.; fourths, 1045.; fifths, 945.;
sixths, 655. ; 840 firkins in the market. Mild-cured—firsts,

The death is announced of Mr. W. Adam Smith,
an old and active Liberal, who died in London on
Monday at the age of 84.

BELGIUM AND THE EXHIBITION OF 1871.—Thee
following extract is from the Moniteur Beige :—" The
space appropriated to Belgium will barely allow of a
third of the works of proposing exhibitors. The Belgian
commissioners have therefore been obliged to make a
careful selection. The examination of the objects pro-
posed for exhibition in London will take place at Brussels
on the 20th of January next. Works of sculpture, in
dustrial art, &c., which cannot be moved without diffi-
culty, will be inspected on the premises of the artists
between the 15th and 20th of January next. Artists,
mechanics, &c., provisionally entered as exhibitors in the
fine art section will receive the necessary instructions for
the transmission of the objects destined to be submitted
to the jury of inspection. We are informed of the pre-
sence in Brussels of Mr. Henry Cole, C. 8., the director
of the South Kensington Museum, and Colonel Scott,
R.E. secretary of the English commissioners. They were
received by the King, and were present at a meeting of
the Belgian Commission, when M. le Baron de Kint ex-
pressed the opinion of the commissioners that the forth-
coming exhibition would be a complete success."
THE MURDER OF A SCHOOLMASTER AT LIVER-
PooL.—The mysterious murder of Mr. Christian Flueck in
his own private room on Friday night last was on Monday
the general theme of conversation in Liverpool, where the
unfortunate gentleman was well known and highly
respected. As yet nothing is positively known as to the
person who committed the crime, or what could be the
motive of the murderer, for Mr. Flueck was a mostinof-
fensive gentleman, and not possessed of any money and
portable property calculated to tempt a thief to run the
fearful risk of committing a barbarous murder in the day
time. Mr. Flueck was a native of Switzerland, and
originally intended for the medical profession ; in fact, he
was present as a surgeon with the allied armies in the
Crimea. After the Russian war, Mr. Flueck, who spoke
English, and several other languages, with great
fluency, settled in Liverpool, where he soon
made many friends, his manners being • very
fascinating, while his literary talents, especially
in educational subjects, procured him opportunities
of contributing to the local press. Some of his articles on
education were brought under the notice of the late Mr.
Charles Dickens, who wrote a very flattering letter to
their author. About six months ago Mr. Flueck, by the
advice of his -friends, opened a boarding school in the
most fashionable part of the town, and amongst his
teachers W 41.9 a young man named Howchin, who is said
to be a German. On the day of the murder a dispute
arose between Mr. Flueck and Howchin. The latter had
also received notice to quit at next Christmas, and some
disputes had taken place relative to a testimonial as to'
character which Howchin had received from his employer.
The police, taking these facts into consideration, arrested
Howchin, and on Monday he was brought before the
magistrates at the Police-court, but no evidence was
given, and the, prisoner was remanded for seven days.
Mr. Flueck was a very gentlemanly man, about 40 years
of age. He had not been long married.

CACAOINE.—Cacea, nibs on the removal of the oil fall
into powder, and this powder is cacSkine. Cacaoinb contains
neither sugar nor any otheradmixture whatever. Cacleine makes
one of the lightest, thinnest of warm drinks, and is the most de
sirable of all for use in the later hours of the day. Cacioine, by
reason of the ingenious method 'by which the oil is removed, pre-
serves all the fine natural flavour of cacao nibs.—Prepared only
