MARKETS.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—The deliveries
at this market to-day were very small, and no business doing.

HULL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a small
supply of cattle at this market to-day. There was very little
business done, at late rates. There were a few pens of grazing
sheep offered, but they were not sold, because buyers refused to
give late rates. There was a fair show of pigs, and a moderate
business was done. Prices were unchanged. The few sheep in
wool shewn sold immediately.

DONCASTER CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a
good supply of beasts and sheep at this market to-day. Real

COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKETS, TUESDAY.—WooI: The
attendance at the wool sales was scanty, owing to the absence
of French and German buyers, but no further change has taken
place in prices. Sugar : The deliveries shew a slight falling off
as compared with last year at this time, whilst the imports
shew a large relative increase, and the stock is 101,000 tons,
against 82,200 tons In 1869 at this time. Floating cargoes are
in steady request, at 235, 3d. to 235. 9d. for Cuba, and 275. 6d.

and rates maintained for both loaves and raw. Molasses,
moderate sale, at 10s. 6d. to Ils. 6d. per cwt, Coffee : The de-
liveries are checked by the war, but the imports having fallen
much below those of last year at this time, the stock in place
of the relative now shews a deficiency of one thousand tons.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—So far as the woollen
trade is concerned, there has been none this morning. It has
been the worst market within the memory of man. There have
been no buyers, and many of the largest manufacturers have
kept away, knowing that to attempt to do business would be
hopeless. The indignation aroused against the Emperor of the
French on account of the "Projet de Traite " is unboundeded ;
and a general feeling exists that some action on the part
of England is called for. This, of course, tends
to check trade. The merchants, many of them, feel
so strongly that England will have to draw the sword, that
they are making preparations to realise all the money they can.
Avenues upon avenues in the coloured cloth hall haue not been
visited at all this morning ; and the business on the clothiers'
change was over in about half the usual time. Goods were
offered at numerous prices, but without effect. All other
branches of the trade are, so to speak, startled from their pro-
priety. The excitementis so great that every channel of in-
dustry is seriously interrupted. Further news is anxiously
awaited.

Connoisseurs in Art will be richly rewarded by a
visit to an elegant gallery close to the Royal Academy, at
61, New Bond-street, lately opened by M. Carl Schmidt,
for the exhibition of an art process scarcely known in Eng-
land. Foe-similes of some of the greatest paintings by
the old masters are here to be seen produced on slabs
of Berlin white porcelain, having been first copied
by artists of the highest order of merit, and then burned
in, not alone producing the delicate tints and rich
colouring of the original, but rendering it imperishable—
a desideratum of the greatest importance in this uncer-
-1 tain climate. The Art Journal truly remarks, "They will
endure when-the originals shall be undecipherable relics
or heaps of dust." Some years ago it was considered
impossible to produce porcelain paintings of any consider-
able size, but the visitor will here find faithful copies of
some of the greatest works on slabs of about 25 inches
square. Few exhibitions of art in the metropolis will
prove more attractive to the lovers of the beautiful.
