good in sheep, with prices slightly on the increase.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TIIESDAL—The supply of
cattle at this market to-day was about similar in quantity to

few of the best sorts. This class of stock met with a slow trade.
and could not be cleared. A few of the best made about last
week's prices. The number of sheep was smaller than last
week, and the trade done was very dull. There was little varia-
tion from lost week's prices. The following are the quotations :

Savannah and Charleston, 80., ship named Orleans, Sid.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—This market
has again received renewed support from the advance in the
price of cotton, based on the supposition that the fall of
Metz, being a step nearer the close of the war,
may induce Paris to surrender. The quarrel dots
not seem to be fought out yet, though we have
already discounted its effect on our trade. Notwithstanding
the advance in the raw material, there is very little cham,re in
the values of either yarn or cloth, and buyers do not seem in-
clined to follow the course of the cotton market,
and have refrained from entering into any contracts
of magnitude, except at such prices as producers are
compelled to refuse. In yarns the demand has been very slow:
and the only transactions which are heard of at an advance
is in the home trade accounts for immediate delivery.
Shippers have withdrawn from the markets, owing to the
advance required. The cloth market is also quiet. Shippers to
the East keep out of the market, as the prospects are not
favourable for further purchases, Printing cloths, which were
lately exceptionally low in value, have improved slightly in price,
but are only in limited request. Heavy goods for the home trade

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The woollen trade
to-day was much better than last Tuesday, and the cloth halls
were more animated than usual at this time of the year. There
was not an average attendance, but buyers availed themselves
of a fine bright morning to make choice of coloured goods.
Spring patterns are now shewn in variety, but that trade is
likely to be backward, only small sample parcels being in
request. Some thin coatings are being made to order,
and the mills on that account are better employed.
Waterproof tweeds were inquired after by Manchester and
Huddersfield houses. Good greys at from 2s. Gd. to 3s. 3d. per
yard sell readily for home purposes, but any shipping business
has become extinct. The well-sustained price of wool at the
London sales makes manufacturers and merchants keener.
This is the secret of to-day's brisk market. Stocks in consumers'
hands being full, merchants speculate in fear that before the
sales are over, the raw material will be dearr. Other indus-
tries of this locality are quiet, except tool and machine work.
The iron works just make full time and no more. Pig iron on
the spot is scare.

GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, TIIESDAY.—Opening Re-
port.—This market was quiet, but steady, to-day. Sellers
51s. sd. cash. Buyers id. less. Closing Report.—This market
was lifeless to-day, and nominaliy at 51s. sd. cash.

easier.
