nah, Ssd ; ship named, Orleans, 81d.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The steady
tone which this market assumed on Friday still continues, but
prices have rem' bled without much, if any change. Spinners and
manufacturers dad rather a large business towards the end of last
week, and aro holding now rather firmly for Friday's rates In
some exceptional instances a slight advance has been asked,
but this at once stopped business, and - the firmer tone
of the market has even tended to limit business. Of
the transactions, the most that can be said regard-
ing prices is that their declining tendency has been
arrested for the present. Notwithstanding the unfav-
ourable nature of the recent telegrams from China, Calcutta,
and Bombay, a fair amount of business was done on
Friday last in goods and yarns suitable for these mar- ,
kets. To-day, however, there was less inquiry again.
The home trade are still placing orders for cloth to
a fair extent. Yarns for the IsOme trade have sold more freely
but without any improvement in price. Printing cloths have
shared a little in the increased demand. Domestic and
other heavy goods are unchanged. Quotations to-
day are nominally the same as Friday's, with rather
less irregularity. At the close the market was hardly so strong
as in the morning, and has been rather disappointing to sellers
who anticipated selling at improved prices.
LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The woollen trade to-
day is unimportant. At this late season nothing but a sudden
collapse of the war could improve it. Clothiers are trying to
clear off stock at prime cost, but buyers are few and poor
spirited. While there is this quiet in the cloth halls, a good
healthy demand, the time of year considered, exists in the
warehouses. Travellers are sending good order sheets from the
country, principally for sorting up parcels. Irish friezes are
taking well for men's overcoatings. There is a healthy home
trade in heavy buyers, presidents, and naps ; also for soft
finished presidents and Moscows for ladies' mantles and jackets.
The favourite colours are brown olives and light and dark blues.
Several Germans have been in the neighbourhood, taking up
presidents for their markets. The Canadians are quieter.
Orders for felted goods are fast running out. The works where
machinery for the woollen mills 13 made are doing little. The
makers of small arm machinery are still very busy on Govern- '
ment account. In the aggregate, the iron works are doing more
than last week. The production of cold blast iron is not fast
enough for consumers. The coal trade, both home and export,
is good.

CLEVELAND IRON TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—At this
market to-day there was an average attendance, and business
was very depressed. Makers are nearly all sold for delivery
this year, and the inquiries for next year's deliveries are merely
speculative, as so much uncertainty prevails regarding future
prospects. Transactions are almost nil, but there is little pro-
bability of makers increasing much before Christmas.
Rail makers are fairly off for orders to the end
of the year, but old contracts have been suspended
while those in progress are not replaced by fresh orders. The
prospects of the trade must be pronounced most gloomy. The
various other departments of finished iron are not active, par-
ticularly ship plates and engineering. The warrant store con-
tinues the same as last week.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, TUESDAY.—This market
was flat to-day. Business was done down to 51s. 3d. cash. rather
buyers over at close, sellers, 51s. 31d., and 51s. 7d. in a month.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, TUESDAY. The
business was small at this market to-day, but prices were not
lower.

It is rumoured that Mr. Ham, printer, of Oxford,
has absconded with a large sum of money belonging to the
Oxford Friendly Institution.

A BANKRUPT SEWING MACHINE COMPANY.--At the
Court of Bankruptcy there were some proceedings before
Mr. Registrar Keene, in public oourt, under the liquida-
tion petition of William Newton Wilson, trading as
Newton, Wilson, and Co., sewing machine manufacturers,
of High Holborn, Regent-street. the Crystal Palace,
Edinburgh, and Birmingham. The debts, as stated at the
time the petition was filed, are £6,793; assets calculated
to produce about X 6,000. The creditors had passed a
resolution, by the requisite majority, agreeing to accept
the terms offered by the debtor ; but when the resolution
was submitted for registration, objections were raised to
several of the proofs, and these now came on for con-
sideration. In some cases time was given to amend the
form of the proof or the proxy, and the registration of the
resolution was ordered to stand over for that purpose.
THE REGISTRATION OF DISEASES.—An influential
deputation, representing the British Medical Association
and the Poor-law Medical Officers' Association, accom-
panied by Mr. Cawley, M.P., and Dr. Lyon Playfair,
M.P., waited upon Mr. Goschen at the Poor-law Board,
on Monday, to urge the importance of the Govern-
ment providing for a registration of diseases. Among
those who addressed Mr. Gosehen was Dr. Ransome,
of Manchester, who said that it was only by registra-
tion that they could hope to get at the nature
tu (I courses of diseases in epidemics, and to
discover what poisons caused them. He gave
an account of the successful efforts at registra-
tion made by the Manchester and Salford Sani-
tary Society, and by other voluntary effort elsewhere.
Mr. Goschen, in reply, said the arguments in favour
of registration were very clear and convincing, and
having asked further particulars on various points of
detail, he promised to give his consideration to the
niatter,

CACAOINE.—Cacoa nibs on the removal of the oil fall
nto powder, and this powder is cacioine. Cacaoine contains
neither sugar nor any other admix tare whate vet. Cactioine makes
one of the lightest, thinnest of warm drinks, and is the most do
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

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.-This market
opened very firm, and dearer all round. Imports : Wheat,
20,035 quarters, corn 28,034 quarters, flour 8,803 sacks and 1,072
barrels. This market closed to-day with an active demand for
white wheat, at an advance of ld. or 2d. per cental on the im-
proved rates of Friday. The finer classes of red wheat are
scarcely dearer, but middling qualities realised improved rates.
There was a good inquiry for flour, at the unchanged rates of
last week. Barley was in fair request, and maintained the ex-
treme of last quotations. Egyptian beans were dull, at
previous rates. Oats and oatmeal were unchanged. Indian
corn was 3d. dearer on the week. There was not much business
done.
LEEDS CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.-Following in the wake
of Mark-lane, wheat was quoted at is. per quarter dearer at this
market to-day than last week ; but the trade is slow at the ad-
vance. The market is well supplied with malting barley, and all
flue qualities met with a ready sale at last week's rates. Secon-
dary sorts were difficult to quit at prices still in favour of the
buyers.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.-There was a
small supply of farmers' wheat at this market to-day, which sold
at is. advance on Saturday's prices ; but there was not much
doing. Flour was fully ls. per sack higher. There was a dull
trade in oats at previous rates.
HULL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.-At this market to-day
the show of beasts was a good one, consisting principally of
grazing stock. Fat beasts made from 9s. to 10s. per stone, and
a fair trade was done. There was a fair show of sheep, but very
little business was done. In pigs there was a good show, and
trade was brisk at about late rates.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.-At this market to-
day there was a better supply of cattle, but the show of sheep
was even less than last week. The quality of both classes of
stock was second rate and inferior. The demand for cattle was
steady, and in a few instances 80. per pound was obtained, but
the general price cannot be quoted higher than 81d per pound.
Sheep were in less demand and sold slowly at about last market
prices. The following are the quotations ;-Beef, first class,
Sid. to 84d. per pound ; second, 7fd. to Bd. per pound ; Spinals
cattle 7d. to Bd. per pound. Sheep, 70. to 9id. per pound.

supplies of meat were on offer. The trade was dull, at about
late rates. Beef from Ss. 4d. to ss. 2d.; mutton, 3s. 841. to ss.

81b. by the carcase.

DAY.-There was a good show of all descriptions at the market
