MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY.—A slight improve-
ment was observable in the Corn Exchange to- .ay, and although
the business actually concluded was far from being extensive,
all descriptions of grain were held for the extreme currencies
of Monday last. There was a small show of English wheat on
offer, the condition of which was improved, owing to the cold
weather. There was a rather better demand for all qualities,
and prices were well supported. Foreign wheat was in moderate
supply and similar request, at fully previous quotations. Of
barley there was a fair show, which sold steadily, at full rates.
Malt was quiet, but not lower to purchase. Oats, the supply of
which was tolerably good, experienced a rather more active in-
quiry, at prices tending towards higher rates. Beans and peas
were in healthy request, on former terms. The flour trade was
more animated, and prices had an upward tendency. Arrivals :
English and Scotch—Wheat, 690 ; barley, 420 ; malt, 200 ; beans,
110 ; and peas, 150 quarters. Foreign---Wheat, 8,920 ; barley,
3,350; oats, 35,740 ; maize, 1,910 ; beans, 500 ; peas, 1,200; and

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FRlDAY.—Opening report.—
This market opened with a good attendance to-day, and there

ters ; oats, 437 quarters ; oatmeal, 1,261 loads ; Indian corn meal,

moderate business was done, chiefly in red American wheat,
which sold at 2d. advance. White wheat was slow

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, FRlDAY.—Business in this
market continues to be conducted on a very limited scale, but
there is not as yet any very material change in price, but when-
ever a change occurs, as in those cases where producers are
anxious sellers, it is in favour of the buyer. To-day buyers have
made offers, and whenever these are for a quantity, sellers have
to submit to a concession in price, and owing to the
weaker position of the cotton market, both spinners and manu-
facturers are inclined to meet buyers in price when for forward
delivery. The business of the day has been of a general cha-
racter, and to supply immediate wants. In home trade yarns
but a moderate business has been done, at rather easier rates.
Shipping yarns are still rather neglected. In cloth the principal
business has been in skirtings for China, which command full
prices. Printing cloths are dull, There is still no buying for
India. Other departments are very inactive. Quotations asked
to-day, but not universally adhered to, are---for 39-inch shirt-
lugs, 71b., ordinary to best makers. Is. Od. to Bs. 3d. ; ditto,
811 b., 9s. 3d. to Os. 9d. ; No. 40 mule yarn, good seconds, 130. ;
No. 30 water twist, laid. At the close of the market priees were
barely steady.
SOUTH WALES IRON TRADE, FRlDAY.—Nothing of im-
portance has taken place in the iron trade since last week, un-
certainty being still the chief characteristic. Some new
contracts, which have lately been secured on American account,
have to some extent revived operations at the rail mills. From
other sources there is at present but an insignificant inquiry,
and about the same degree of activity as noticeable In the
home markets fast week. The works are kept in
average employ. There is no improvement to re-
port in the quotations. The tin-plate trade is still
characterised by depression. A tolerably brisk business
is being done in the steam coal trade, a good demand being
kept up from the East and West Indies and South American
markets, and large clearances are also being made to the Medi-
terranean ports. There are many large orders on the pro-
prietors' books, and the collieries are kept on full time. The
usual activity anticipated at this time of the year is to be re-
ported in the demand for house coal. Coke is also in good
request.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, FRIDAY. This market
was today at 51s. 6d. cash paid. Closing easier. Sellers
51s. 4d. to 513. 40. cash prompt ; buyers wanting a few days
longer to pay. Closing report : This market was easier to-day.

was a large business done •to-day. Prices generally were 3d.
higher.
CORK BUTTER MARKET, FRIDAY. Ordinary firsts,
1335.: seconds, 127 x.; thirds, 1165.; fourths, 110 s.; fifths, 965.;
sixths, 675. ; 1,470 firkins in the market. Mild-cured—firsts,
1435.; seconds, 1295.; thirds, 1175.; 82 firkins in the market.

In the fight at Voujancourt it is said the dampness of
the ground partly paralysed the effect of the Prussian
artillery, and in some places prevented the shells from
bursting.
The Prussian Engineers are completing and arming the
new forts at Metz. The officers of the German garrison
are in expectation of remaining there, and have sent for
their families to join them.
The Times' correspondent at Versailles expresses his
surprise at finding the German line about Chittillon so far
retired. It was explained by the advance of the French
lines at Villejuif, and by the erection of the new batteries
which enfiladed part of the former position ; and he
learned that the old observatory at the Bavarian redoubt,
from which there was such a lovely view of Paris, had
been utterly razed to the ground by those ruthless forts.
Not a creature can move on the plateau now without
compliment of the shell.
