MARKETS.

HULL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY—There was co-day -a very
small supply of English wheat, with slow sales at last week's
rates. Malting barley was inquired for, but not much offered.
Beans and peas are unaltered. Oats have been asked for.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, TUESDAY. There was
nothing doing at this market to-day. Prices the same as last

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, TuEspAr.--(Opening Report).
--The attendance on the Corn Exchange is fair, but the market
exhibits no feature requiring particular remark. There is
literally nothing doing, tied prices are lower for all articles,
(Closing Report)--There was only a small attendance of buyers
to-day, and transactions in wheat very limited, at irregular
prices, but generally at a reduction, since Friday, of 2d. to 3d.
per cental. Flour was 6d. per barrel and is. per sack lower. Beans
were rather cheaper._ Indian corn declined fully 6d, per qr,

LEEDS CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—The better tone observed
in this market on Tuesday last has been lost to-day ; factors
find a difficulty in placing wheat at the rates of last week.
Several samples of new wheat are on offer ; the prices are
irregular. Barley, oats, and beans remain unchanged in value.
DONCASTER FAT CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—There
was a good show of both beasts and sheep at this market to-
day. The best beef realised 95., but the middling qualities were
bad to sell at Bs. per stone. Good small sheep sold at Bd. per
lb. ; but ewes were only a very slow sale at 7d., several
lots realising only 61d,
fl ILL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—The show of cattle is
excessively meagre ; and farmers are not inclined to buy in con-
sequence of ths long continued drought. Sheep are moderately
plentiful, and a fair amount of business has been transacted.
Of pigs there is a comparatively poor show, and there are no
buyers. Prices are as before.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—The supply of
cattle at this market to-day was larger than last week, but of
sheep and lambs smaller. Foreign cattle were again represented
in force, including 150 prime Spanish beasts. There was a slack
demand for beef, and a consequent slight decrease in prices.
Beef, first-class, 71d. per lb. ; second-class, 71d. to 71d. per lb.
There was an improved demand for sheep and lambs. Mutton,
71d. to 81d. per lb. Lambs, 7d. to 9d. per lb. Calves, 6d. to 7d.
per lb.

LONDON PRODUCE MARKETS, TUESDAY.-In both raw and
refined sugar to-day the transactions have been restricted, but
supplies being short 'prices have been maintained. Native
Ceylon coffee has been tolerably firm in value, otherwise the
market has been flat and prices have been drooping. Tea has
been in limited request, anal rice has been neglected.

Tin has sold slowly. Copper has been in limited request.
LONDON OIL MARKET, TUESDAY.-Rape has been firm, at
435. 6d. for English brown, spot. Linseed has been steadier at
295. 6d. to 295. 9d. London, and 28s. 3d. hull.
LONDON TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.-Tallow has been
quiet but steady. Y,C., spot, 445. 9d. per cwt. Last three
months, 455. 6d. to 45 9d.
LONDON WOOL MARKET, TUESDAY.-There has been a
continuance of quietness in the wool trade. The depression in
the manufacturing districts, and the interruption to our export
trade, necessarily limit transactions, 'and impart a weakening
tendency to pries. No actual reduction, however, has ensued.
METROPOLITAN HAY AND STRAW MARKET, TUESDAY.
-The market has been moderately supplied to-day. The de-
mand has been rather lessnnimated, but without any change in
values.-Prime old hay, 120 s. to 1325. 6d. ; inferior ditto, 100 s.
to 110 s. ; prime new hay, 105 s. to 1155.; inferior ditto, 90s. to
100 s. ; prime old clover, 1355. to 1455. ; inferior ditto, 110 s. to
1205.; prime new clover, 120 s. to 128 s. ; inferior ditto, 100 s. to
110 s. ; and straw, 248. to 325. per load.
BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS, TUESDAY.-These markets
are well supplied with potatoes. Only a moderate business has
been transacted, as follows :-English, 100 s. to 130 s, ; regents,
110 s. to 130 s. ; and French, 80s. to 90s. per ton.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.-Opening re-
port :-Imports per bill of entry, 27,981 bales. There is a
steady demand to-day at this market, both from the trade and
for export, with very little American offering. Prices are firm,
and the sales point to ten or twelve thousand bales.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.-The improved
tone of yesterday was maintained to-day, and large offers have
been made yesterday and to-day for both yarns and goods gene-
rally, at the lowest prices of Friday last ; but producersfor the
most part refuse these now, and ask an advance of about
id. per lb. on yarns, and 11d. to 3d. on goods.
Buyers as yet hesitate to pay an advance, hence the actual •
sales in proportion to the offers are very small. Yesterday, at
the close, the market was hardly so strong, as buyers saw no
cause for the advance in cotton ; -but the cotton market at Liver-
pool being strong again to-day has caused a renewal of the offers
declined by sellers of yesterday, and a larger business than usual
of late has resulted. The inquiry to-day, as well as the
offers made have 'been of a general character, both in the
home trade and shipping. Yarns have been in request,
and in cloth the principal offers have been for shirtings
suitable for the east. Other fabrics for that market have also
participated in the demand. Printers continue rather neglected,
and home trade goods are hardly in a better position. Quota-
tionseighth, 9s. to-day are-first, 12/d. ; second, 121 d. ; third,. 11d. • fourth,
TRADE DBE" ; REPORT, TUESDAY.-So far as the home '
17d.LE ;LruilfsthT,
trade in woollen cloth, is concerned to-day's has been a more
cheerful market. There is a general- concurrence -in the belief •
that an average fall trade will yet be done ; but everything de-
bends on the chances of the war. There is sufficieht uncertainty •
to check large sales; and, indeed, sales of ahy kind. Holders of •
tweeds, are pushing them, regardless of much if any profit.
Other seasonable fabrics, except fancy coatings, are neglected.
The only buyers here from a distance represent Scotland, and
they are only making small miscellaneous selections. None of
the Bradford shipping houses are doing athing, and the deter-
mination of manufacturers who have depinded on them is to
pull up as soon as possible. There are plenty of small men who
would gladly bring their operations to a standstill fora while, but it
would be ruinous to do so. The plains and superfine trade
is better, as is evident by the larger demand there has been to-
day for hairlists. Victorias are rather less saleable. Cotton
yarns have risen id. a pound throughout this district on account
of the Prussian victories. Large orders are not taken at an ad-
vance of less than'ld. New rap are worse to buy, and old and
new better.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, TUESDAY.-The
mal•ket is quiet in tone. A moderate business has been done at
yesterday's prices.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, TUESDAY. Opening
report. This market opened quietly to-day. Business was done
at 51s. 3d. cash, subsequently 51s. 4/d. Closing sellers, 51w. 34
Buyers with a few days to pay.
