MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY.—The grain trade
to-day has been quiet. The supply of English wheat has been
short, but there has been a good show of foreign. For all qua-
lities the demand has been inactive, at Monday's prices. The
supply of barley has been moderate. Sales have progressed
slowly, on former terms. Malt has been inactive, at
late rates. There has again been good supply of
oats in the market, for which the enquiry has been
restricted, at late currencies. Beans and peas have been quiet.

French accmint having subsided. Arrivals :--English and

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—Thd market to-day
opened exceedingly quiet, and there was a small attendance.
There has been no quotable change in wheat. Maize was 6d.
lower, but with a better inquiry. The sale of oats, beans,
and pea was slow, and prices favoured the buyers.
WAKEFIELIY CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have fair sup-
. . .

dies at our market to-day, and there is a moderate demand fo-r

fresh old wheat at last week's rates. The prices of new may be
considered as settled down :—Reds, 483. ; line, 30s. ; whites, 525.
to 565. ; new barley was offered at 40s. ; but there were not
many samples on the market.

tendance and brisk market here to-day. Red wheat sells at
from 475. to 48s. ; white, at from 525. to 535. Old beans make
52. Other sorts are quiet.
METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET, FRIDAY.—The supplies

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY. Opening re-
port.—lmport, 21,600 bales; sales, 72,000 bales; Estimated
stock, 528,900 bales ; of which 246,000 bales are American, and

market opens with a fair demand. Holders are firm. Prices
favour sellers. The sales will probably be from 12,000 to 15,000
bales.

MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The market

to-day opens with the improved tone of yesterday. Prices con-
tinue very firm for both yarns and cloth, and the tendency is
rather against buyers. Owing to the advance in prices de-
manded by producers in consequence of the unchanged value of
cotton, business is still checked, especially for transactions of
magnitude. There is, however, a large daily miscellaneous
business going on, perhaps almost equal to the productions, and
buyers would evidently operate much more freely if sellers
were in a position to accept even the rates of last
Friday,- which, however, they are compelled to de-
cline. In yarn, for the home trade, an average
business is doing at very full rates. For the East the transac-
tions are not large, but prices are dearer notwithstanding.
Watered twists for China is in good demand at dearer rates.
In cloth the business doing is rather considerable, and generally
for shipping goods. Shirtings, mulls, and jaconets are in good
request ; prints are in less demand. Home trade goods are in
steady demand at full rates. The war on the Continent seems
to have more influence on our market than the question of
supply and demand. Prices advance with each Prussian success.
LONDON TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The tallow market
flat, at 455. Y.C., sellers October to December, sold at 445. on
the spot. Linseed oil, 295. 6d.; English brown rape, 415.; refined,

£lB 7s. 68.; Straits tin, £l2B.
LONDON COLONIAL MARKET, FRIDAY.—The sugar market
has ruled quiet, and prices have shown weakness for both raw
and relined goods. British West India is quoted at 205. 6d. to
265. ; Java, 305. to 335. Tea has sold slowly at unaltered cur-
rencies. Coffee has been in fair request, and the quotations
have been supported. In rice, no run. No sales of importance
have transpired. St. Petersburg clean hemp was quoted at
£35 10s. to £36. Sago dull.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET, FRIDAY.—The business doing in
the hop market has been very moderate. Nevertheless, a fair
amount of firmness has been apparent, notwithstanding the
favourable accounts from the plantations, and the prospect of
an abundant yield. Mid and East Rents, £6 6s. to £9 9s. :
Wealds, £6 to £7 10s. ; Sussex, £5 ss. to £6 10s. ; Bavarians,
£5 ss. to £7 ; French, £4 10s. to £6. ; Americans,42 ss. to
£3 10s. ; and yearlings, £1 ss. to £2los. per cwt.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, FRIDAY. The market
continues firm, at ss. 11d. cash paid, closing rather sellers at
this price.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, FRIDAY.—This
market to-day has been better, the demand being good. A good
business has been done at steady prices.
SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The trade of
South Wales has been influenced during the past week by a
feeling of reluctance on the part of buyers to enter into fresh
contracts ; and until the effects of the war upon the iron trade
generally are ascertained,tany marked improvement is scarcely
anticipated. There is some fear that the protracted drought
will interfere with operations. America is purchasing largely
in the district, while at the same time the requirements of
Russia have materially decreased. A good demand for
miscellaneous descriptions is expected shortly. The
hands engaged at the principal tin-plate mills are
fairly employed, and quite the average number of
plates is being sent to foreign markets. The improvement
which we recently noticed in the steam coal trade
of the district is not only maintained, but the
demand from French buyers is steadily increasing,
large quantities being now shipped at the local ports
for Cherbourg and othor French harbours. Heavy supplies are
also being despatched to several of the naval stations. The
purchases of the Mail Packet Companies are fully up to the
average. The home coal trade continues quiet.
CORK BUTTER MARKET, FRlDAY.—Ordinary firsts, 128 s. ;
seconds, 1225. ; thirds, 115 s fourths, 110 s. ; fifths, 925. ; sixths,
765. Fifteen hundred firkins of ordinary in the market.
Mild cured, firsts, 1355. ; seconds, 130 s. ; thirds, 1275. Seventy-
five firkins in the market.

PARIS PREPARING FOR A SIEGE.- -Paris is being armed
and provisioned. Forts, barracks, the lodges of the octroi
officials all alike have become storehouses of war and
military positions. There are 80,00 men in the city gar-
rison and 30,000 in the ports. That is the whole effective
force. The custom-house officers are 9,000 ; the Foresters
form two regiments of 3,000 men each. With two regiments
of infantry and one battalion of foot chasseurs
they will make a division of 18,000 men. The
corps of General Vinoz will amount to 60,000
men in a day or two. Eight thousand five hundred sailors
have already arrived and 3,000 more are expected. From
Nantes, Havre, and Rouen large stocks of rice, of grain,
of hay, and other stores, are being sent in. Mills are being
set up in Paris. Up to the present moment only 1,200
sacks could be ground per day. With the new mills at
work more than 3,000 can be ground. Paris has already
a supply of flour for twenty-five days, and of grain for
thirty.
