LEEDS CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a thin atten-
dance to-day. The wheat trade was slow, and last Tuesday's
prices were barely supported. Good barley was fully as dear.
Oats and beans were the turn in favour of seller. Averageprices
for the week ending May 16 :—Wheat, 1,088 qrs., 465. 3d. ; barley,
164 us*, 38s. Bd. ; wets, 15 qrs., 225. 6d. .

LEEDS WOOLLEN TRADE, TUESDAY.—There was a large at-
tendance of manufacturers at the cloth hall this morning ; but
not many buyers were present, and those who were were wool
merchants. The stocks exhibited were as large as usual. The
black and brown tweeds, and other sorts of thin coating sold
better than of late. Manufacturers in better spirits, on account
of having received some considerable orders by post. These orders
apply very much to the wicker blues and blacks in beavers and
witneys. But it was said this morning that employment was
becotning infich better throughout all clothing districts. The
all-wool superfine cloth trade, in which most of the large
capitalists in Leeds are principally concerned, is quite as good as
may be expected at this time of the year. The wool and mungoe
merchants hare had a more spirited market than for some weeks
past. The flax mills are working full time, and, coupled with the
cost of the finer material, it is not unlikely that this parcel of
our local industry may expand, The iron trade remains much
in the same state as last reported.
