LONDON PRODUCE MARKET, TuzsDAT.—Very little busi-
ness has taken place in sugar, owing to the holidays, but prices
generally are unchanged. Small lots of coffee are wanted, and
the tendency of values has been upwards. Rice afloat has been
in demand, at extreme rates. Teas have ruled quiet, but un-
changed in value.
METROPOLITAN HAY AND STRAW MARKET, TUESDAY.—

to 30s. per load.

LONDON WOOL MARKET, TUESDAY.—In the wool market
no feature of importance has been noticed. For colonial wool
there has been very little inquiry ; but values have been well
maintained. For English wool there has been a moderate demand
at full currencies.

£134 10s. to £135. Copper firm, but with little doing. Scotch
pig iron COs. 9d. cash and Ohs. one month.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS POTATO MARKET, TIIES-
DAY.—These markets have been scantily supplied with old
potatoes, but the receipts of new foreign have been on a more
liberal scale. Fhe trade has been quiet at our quotations.

foreign, 13s. to 17s. per cwt.
LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TIIESDAY.—The attendance in the
cloth-halls to-day has been very small. Everything had a holi-
day character ; and the only transaotions have been the buying
up of a few cheap lots of tweeds. In the white cloth-hall there
has been scarcely anything doing. Most of the in the

neighbourhood are closed, both 'ln the ordinary and other de-
partments.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a fair atten-
dance at this market. The accounts from Mark-lane that the
French were buying wheat has caused the trade here to assume
a firmer tone. An advance of ls. to 28. upon the prices of last
Tuesday has been obtained. All descriptions of spirng corn in
favour of the seller. Average prices for the week ending June
6th, 1870 :—Wheat, 1,335 qrs., at 495. per qr. ; oats, 65 qrs., at
ss. sd. per qr.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, TIIESDAY.—At this markat
the supplies of whaat, home-grown or foreign, was very small,
and sellers were asking 2s. advance on Saturday's rise. Buyers
were not willing to give the prices, and therefore little business
was done. Flour one shilling higher, and other grain tendiug
upwards.
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—
A poor show at this market, but the quality was good. Sales
slow at former rates for beef. Mutton rather higher. Cattle
in the market. Beasts 1,160, sheep and lambs 7,000.
GLASGOW PIG-IRON MARKET, TIIESDAY.—First report :
Fair business done at 60s. 10d. cash, closing, buyers, at last quo-
tations. Sellers, 61s. cash. Shipments last week, 15,700 tons,
against 10,800 tons in the corresponding week of last year.
MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, TuEsDAY.--This market
continues quiet, but many little orders have been placed, chiefly
from stock. Our large buyers are, however, out of the market
for the present. Prices generally are well maintained, but
owing to the Liverpool Cotton Market being closed,
there is nothing from that source to influence prices one
way or another. In yarns the inquiry for India has been
limited, but we hear of some sales of water twist for China.
Home trade oounts are quiet, and steady in price. In the cloth
market the principal business has been for India ; that for China
is still limited. Producers of goods suitable for the
East are still well under contracts ; not so in other descrip-
tions. Quotations to-day are, 325. cop., 141 d.; sixties ditto, 19d.
Fortys mule yarn, best quality, 160. ; thirtys watea twist, 16d.;
39-inch shirtings, ordinary make, 105. 9d. ; best make, Ils.
The business of the week will practically cease to-day, and not
be resumed in earnest till this day week, hence the number of
small orders are doubtless in anticipation of the Whitsuntide
holidays. The market closes rather firm, and some entertain the
idea that it may go rather dearer after the holidays, but this
we fancy can be only temporary, looking to our large stock of
cotton.

BELFAST LINEN MARKET, TUESDAY.—Light linens for
bleaching are fair. A steady business during the past week-
stocks not increased, prices rule firm with slightly upward ten'
dency. Heavy linens, more business transacted, not much
activity in demand, stocks are increasing, price irregular.
Cloth—foreign clothing trade business of the week has
been moderate in character, no change in price. Cloth
for dyeing, and Hollands for makes in steady demand,
coarse sets neglected, no alteration in prices. Roughs—
steady good business reported, manufacturers are working to
order. For common classes of linen handkerchiefs the demand
is very quiet. Stocks and prices chew little alteration. In
cambric not 'much business transacted ; prices fairly main-
tained.
Drapers have improved the demand, and given good
orders during the week. Stocks are not large, and prices are
well supported. The demand for damasks is not active, and
stocks and prices same as last report. A slight improvement
in demand for drills. The transactions indicate steadiness.
Stock, stationary, handloom, light linens for bleaching, good
makes, continue to move freely at firm rates. Common grades not
much inquired for ; prices irregular ; stocks are barely kept.
The demand for check heavy linens is not active, though equal
to last week. Stocks stationary ; prices steady. Cloth for dye-
ing and hollands a moderate consumption at same prices, though
unremunerative- are steady. Linen handkerchiefs, good makes,
saleable at low rates. Stocks not extensive. Inferior makes
are in moderate request, at regular prices. Cambric : Any
change in these is indicative of ' improvement. Prices ad-
vancing.
