MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—Opening Report.—
The market has opened to-day with a fair attendance of millers
and dealers. What is less depressed, and not so much anxiety
to sell. Other articles rule about the same as on Friday, save
Indian corn, which is 3d. to 6d. per quarter dearer.
Closing report.—There was a full attendance of the trade at this
market to-day. Though there was a fair demand for wheat, .t
was not quotably higher. Transactions were certainly against
buyers. In beans, peas, oats, and oatmeal there was no change.
Indian corn was Is. per qr. dearer.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, TIIESDAY.—The better demand
noted in the wheat trade on Tuesday last was sustained at this
market to-day, and the prices of fine new and old wheat were
unchanged from last week's quotations. Fine barley also met
with good inquiry, at the rates of Tuesday last.
HULL CATTLE MARKET, TIIESDAY.—At this market to-day
the show of beasts was extremely poor, owing to the inclement
weather. Few farmers were present, and no sales were effected.
In sheep and lambs there was one of the best shows of the
season, but there were no buyers. The prices asked were
slightly in advance. Pigs were not numerous, and no business
was done. Store pigs were scarce ; small ones were slightly
higher in value.

NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—A small stock
was shewn at this market to-day ; beef selling at from 9s. to

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY. Opening
Report.—lmport, per bill of entry, 26,171 bales. The market
opened with a very fair inquiry for Tuesday ; in fact, it is
dearer to buy. The sales will probably be 10,000 to 12,000 bales.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT,- TIIESDAT.—This 'market this
morning has been well attended by both home aad foreign
buyers. The principal articles in demand were tweeds and
white superfines, but there was a more liberal inquiry for the
best class of goods than there has been for some weeks back.
The German buyers are here trying to buy anything cheap.
Meltons, Beavers, Elysians, and goods of the heavy class do not
sell as rapidly as the manufacturers could wish. Hairlists and
white tweeds still command some inquiry.
BELFAST TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—Yarns. In the
early part of the week, In consequence of news received from
the seat of war, an active demand, approaching to animation,
appeared in the market, and transactions were considerable.
The activity in the demand subsided as the week drew to a
elose, and at the termination quietness prevailed. A reduction
in stocks has taken place, but they are still considerable. Spin-
ners increased their quotations from lid. to 3d. per bundle in
several descriptions of yarns, including medium numbers. An
advanee was realised in some instances in line wefts. Brown
power loom light linens.—There is a quiet demand in this de-
partment, owing to manufacturers declining to accept prices
offered. Stocks shew an increase. Prices tend downwards.
The demand for heavy linen, though limited, was slightly in
excess of that o,f last week. There was little
alteration in stocks. Prices were fairly maintained
Cloth suitable for the foreign clothing trade continues neglected.
In cloth for dyeing and Hollands more business was accom-
plished during the past than during the preceding weeks, still
the demand was of a moderate nature. Stocks are stationary.
There is no material alteration in prices. For roughs of ap-
proved makesthe demand was again fair, and fully equal to that of
the previous week. Common classes were difficult to sell. Prices
very irregular. For linen handkerchiefs there was a dull de-
mand. Stocks are small, and prices are not fully tested. The
demand for Cambric handkerchiefs is not improved. Prices are
nominally unaltered.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—This market
to-day opened with an extremely quiet tone, and the only effects
of the firmer position of cotton was to cause rather more
steadiness in prices, and in consequence to check the operations
of buyers, who showed no inclination to pay the prices
asked except for pressing wants. This morning spin-
ners of home trade yarns demanded an advance ;
but this not having been acceded to, they accepted prices later
on which they had previously refused to sell at. In shipping
yarns there was hardly anything doing, as buyers and sellers
cannot meet each other in price. In cloth suitable for eastern
markets there was little doing, but makers generally
were still well engaged. Printing cloths were in
request. The home trade—Fabrics were in moderate demand,
Other kinds were quiet. For the Continent there was again a
pause in business. Quotations to-day were—For 39-inch shirtings
(71bs.), ordinary to best makes, Bs. lid. to Bs. 9d. ; ditto (silbs.),
9s. 71d. to 10s. 3d. Number forties mule yarn, good seconds,
ls. lid. ; thirties, water twist, is. lid. The market closed dull,
and no improvement is expected, until the terms are arranged,
of which there is now some prospect.

MAcAlAnoN.—An American writes from Paris to
the Cincinnati Commercial :—" I was not lion-hunting,
but suddenly I heard a man exclaim in the crowd, Why,
there is MacMahon.' And, sure enough, there was the
most celebrated of living French Generals, the best per-
sonification of the French soldier, the hope of the French
army in the struggle at hand, and a great popular
favourite. MacMahon wore a new silk hat, and its especial
gloss was all that made him prominent. His hair is
white—a soft, brilliant white—and cut close ; and his
moustache is also white—as white as Fernando Wood's, but
not half so large. He is said not to be an ITperialist, and
so small a circumstance as that he does not wear his beard
in the fashion of the Emperor, gives confirmation to the
report. He wears no imperial, his lower lip being clean
shaven. In spite of his white hairs, he has not the ap-
pearance of advanced years. His eye, complexion, and
carriage indicate that he is in the prime of life. His face
is a healthy scarlet ; the sun of Africa is responsible, I
' suppose, for the brilliancy of the bronze on his cheeks.
His features are not grand, but are refined ; his nose is
almost delicate in its fine outline and sharpness, and his
mouth is sad rather than severe. You can see this expres-
sion of sadness—there is something that touches the
pathetic in it—in the pictures of him that will now appear
everywhere, and which are becoming as plentiful here as
those of the Emperor, whose abounding photographs are
one of the troubles of the times. MacMahon's eye is a
little sunken, and a light blue, I think, with a cheery, in-
telligent sparkling in it (that I am sure of) ; in his walk
he is pi_ick, and in gesture rather deliberate for a French-
man. Not many persons seemed to recognise him, and he
• paid no attention to those who did and were staring at
him with evident curiosity, nor was there anything in his
manner to shew consciousness that he was observed. Two
or three times was the cry Vive Mackahon !' but he
gave no sign of hearing it."
