LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—Opening Report.—(
This market opened to-day with a pretty fair attendance of country
buyers and dealers. The ascertained detici nicy by stock taking as

Report : Sales, 19,30•? bales. This market opens to-day with an
improved inquiry from the trade. The prices are steady, with-
out any change from yesterday's currency. There is very little
doing in cotton to arrive. The prospective sales are 10,000
bales.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—There is no
change to report in the state of this market since Friday. It
continues quiet with a moderate business doing, the downward
tendency of prices is checked for the moment in consequence of
the steadier tone of the Liverpool cotton market. Producers
hero now decline lower rates, and this has further limited busi-
ness, as the bulk of the recent transactions were taken by spin-
ners and manufacturers on the basis of a lower cotton market.
There is an opinion that the steadier tone will not be long
maintained as buyers seem to expect a concession on eachrepeti-
tion of a purchase. The only class of goods in active demand
are 39 inch Silbs. shirtings, both ordinary and best makes, for
shipment to the East. Yarns for that quarter are very quiet.
Home trade yarns are steadier, but in less demand. There is a
moderate business doing in cloths for the home trade, in antici-
pation of a good spring trade. Quotations to-day are 39 in
shirtings 71bs. ordinary to best, 7s. 9d. to Ss. 6d. ; ditto, 811bs.,
9s. 3d. to 9s. 6d. Forties, mule yarn, good seconds, Ind. ;
thirties, water twist, 131 d. The market closed quiet, but
steady.
LEEDS TRADE REPORT,• TUESDAY.—The woollen cloth trade
has undergone no change since the last report. All branches
are alike depressed. The short time it was said the mills would
have terresort to if the peace negotiations failed, has actually
taken place widely. It is only in the blanket making districts
that work is at all brisk, and there almost any number of hands
can find employment. In the cloth halls this morning there
were, amongst others, several buyers for foreign houses. They
did little business, but kept an active look out for anything
offered by small manufacturers, who are compelled to realise.
The low union stocks lately selling at almost any price
are now exhausted, and these speculators found themselves at
fault. They had no other requirements, and like the home
trade they are prevented by the war from buying unless extraor-
dinary profits are likely to be the result. Sonic parcels of fancy
tweeds, with borders and fringes, were nearly all the goods sold
direct. Blue and steels are tke,..ehoice shades. This depart-
ment is generally busiest from Tuly to Christmas, but now it is
as dull as only war can make it. Special machinery for Govern-
ment is made here day and night.

CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, TUESDAY. The
demand at this market continues good. Prices are occasionally
3d. higher.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, TUESDAY.—The business
done at this market to-day was 518. and 51s. Id. cash, closing
buyers.
