MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNESDAY.—lnfluenced by
the activity which was prevalent at Liverpool yesterday, the
tone of this market was firm, and an increased amount of busi-
ness was transacted, at the extreme currencies of Monday last ;
in fact, a slight adv nc .1 was occasionally perceptible. There
was a limited supply of English wheat on offer, and the arrivals
from abroad were very small. The demand for all descriptions
of both red and white wheat was moderately animated, and
prices were well maintained. Barley was in good supply and
request for choice qualities, at firm quotations. Malt was dull,
but not lower in value. The market was well supplied with
oats. The inquiry was steady, at full currencies. Beans and
peas were purchased to a fair extent, at prices quite as high.
Flour was in steady demand, 'and firm in value. Arrivals :—Eng-
lish and Scotch.—Wheat, 670 qrs. ; barley, 98 ; malt, 20 ;
and beans, 10. Foreign.—Barley, 1,790 qrs. ; oats, 11,860;
maize, 8,600 ; beans, 200 ; and peas, 670.
EDIIURGII CORN MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—At this market
to-day fhe supplies were good. Wheat was in good demand, at
ls. per qr. advance. There was a fair sale of barley, at last
week's prices. Of oats the sales were slow, without change in
price. Beans are unchanged.
LEEDS CATTLE MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—The number of
cattle at this market to-day was : —Beasts, 535 ; sheep, 3,300.
The best quality of cattle met a good sale at last week's prices.
Second quality moved off slowly. Sheep met a slow sale, at 81d.
per lb. to 9d, per lb. Small wethers made full rates.
WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—At this
market to-day there was a particularly light show of beasts,
sheep, pigs, and lean cattle. The late high prices were main-
tained for beef and mutton, but pigs were 6d. per stone cheaper.
SOUTHALL CATTLE MARKET. WEDNESDAY.—There was a
fair average supply of beasts of the best quality at this market
to-day. The best qualities have been in better demand, at
rather higher rates. For secondary and inferior sorts there was
a slow trade, and sellers had a difficulty to effect a clearance.
The same remark applies to sheep.
EDINBURGH CATTLE MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—In all
respects the market has been dull this afternoon ' • cattle, pig,
and sheep sellers have all found, in disposing of their several
lots, great difficulty. Ayrshires sold at £l5 to £2O ; shorthorns,
£lB to £25. The Irish bullocks on sale not being suitable
for the market, the larger portion of them were returned to
Glasgow. Lean cattle did not readily sell, the feeding season
being almost past ; and with fat beasts such high prices were
asked that the butchers were not eager to buy. A fat pair of
prime three-year-olds (crosses) have sold at £37 each. The
same price ruled for sheep as last week. The best class sold at
Bid. to 9d. per pound ; secondary, Bd. to Bid. The pig market
was the dullest seen for a long time, though there was a reduc-
tion in our rates.

435. 6d. January; and 445. March.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE MARKETS. WEDNss-
DAY.—Sugar has continued firm, though common sorts are
slow of sale. Good refining qualities command full rates. Bar-
badoes quoted at 255. to 335. Od ; Jamaica, 28s. to 355. ;

previous quotations. The demand for coffee has not been

afloat has met a moderate inquiry. A parcel of Singapore
pepper has sold at previous currency sid.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—Opening
Report.—This market opened with a good inquiry for American
to-day, and also Brazil. Probable sales, 10,000 or 12,000 bales.
Imports, 14,591 bales. Closing report.—This market closed
quiet to-day. Americans, from continued scarcity, have brought
full rates. Surats and arrivals quiet. Sales 12,000 bales.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, WEDNESDAY. This
market is unchanged to-day, both in tone and price, since
yesterday. All the large buyers being well supplied with goods,
and fearing a decline in values, should Russia persist in her
demands for the abrogation of the treaty of 1856, they are dis-
inclined to buy further, as prices at present are kept steady by
a scarcity of American cotton on the spot. This is likely to be
temporary only, as abundant supplies are near.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—There
was an improved feeling at this market to-day. A good business
was done, at prices which were not obtainable yesterday.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—Opening Re-
port.—This market was very,flat to-day. Business was done down
to 50s. 10d. cash, and 51s. id. a month.—Closing steady at
