Indian corn made in retail 9d. per qr. advance, but large sales
were checked.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—We have had a fair
consumptive demand for wheat to-day, and the finest qualities
command ls. per qr. more money. The market is well supplied
with malting barley, and we note no change in the price of fine
qualities, there being a fair trade passing. Inferior descriptions
are very difficult to move. There is no alteration in other
articles.

HULL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a scanty sup-
ply of English wheat at this market to-day, which realised an
advance of ls. There was more inquiry for foreign wheat, but
the high rates asked checked business. Fine malting barley was
unaltered ; secondary qualities were ls. lower. Beaus, peas,
and oats were at late rates.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—Thero was au
improved tone at this market to-day, and prices were firm with
au upward tendency. Fine specimens of wheat brought ls.
extra. There was little shewu from farmers, and there were
small deliveries coastwise. Flour, barley, and oats wore at late
rates.

HULL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY. —There was an ex-
tensive show of mulch cows and drapes at this market to-day,

were effected prices remained as a week ago.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—There was a larger
supply of cattle at this market to-day, but a much less supply ,W
sheep. Both classes of stock were chiefly of the inferior sorts.

quality. Middling and inferior sorts were about the same as

due Sad.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TITINPAT,—This market
opened this week with increased dullness, owing to tho ;Timms
current respecting the future policy of Russia. The inquiries
made to-day were fewer, and the demand in all departments is
very limited, and prices shew little or no variation since Friday
last. Owing to the smallness of the stock of American cotton
at Liverpool, and its comparative dearness, all yarns and goods
made front that description Are held for full rates. Buyers for
our large eastern roarkOte have not Wen anxious
lately to add to their existing engagoatnnts, so that
any offers they have made have generally been refused,
owing to their prices being too low. Pridueers, on the other
hand, are also deeply under contract, and exhibit no eagerness
to sell further, more especially as the future course of the mar-
ket is far from clear, owing to further possible complication in
European politics. In yarns for the home trade only a mod*rate
business is doing to supply current wants. Printing
cloths are still dull, and few are being made. Heavy goods for
home consumption are still in fair demand, and other fabrics for
the spring trade share in this improvement. The market Closed
quiet, and the transactions of the day aro very limited. Quota-
tions app nominally the same as those current last Friday,
LREIg TgAR4 REPORT, TUESDAY.—The prospect of Rus-
sia provoking a gellPFal European war, has cast a gloom over
the woollen trade at tills 14444 t4IIV. In the cloth halls this
morning there was little animation, 'Ogg there was a worse
market than usual, even for the end of the jail trade, There
were no buyers except a few agents of shipping houses, who
were looking out any low-priced thick woollens. Many mer-
chants, who had offers of orders for 50,000 or 100,000 yards, have
been unable to get the supply together in the brief time in-
sisted upon. What with this rush upon old stocks, and the
ahsefleP tsit any speculating spirit lately, the clearance
of winter stoeks is likety to be satisfactory. Low tweeds and
meltons sell oecaSiOnalty, hut titg prices are a:lllxniserable. In
Spring goods there is but titil6 doh- g. Solite new styles of Bed-
ford cords are taking very I:air-lista Pa Y 9 iil4llP local

CLEVELAND IRON TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—TIie iron
market to-day was well attended, and a good deal of business was
done. A few parcels of, iron were sold at higher rates than have
prevailed for some weeks past. Prices of pigs, however, may be
quoted rather lower than formerly. No. 1,48 s. 6d, ; No, 3,
465. 6d. ; No. 4, 458. Inquirers are numerous, and apparent
activity characterised the market, but makers are not disposed
to yield to the prices offered by buyers. Deliveries to Belgium,
nolland, and coastwise are well maintained, while exportation
to France is still diminishing. The rail markiit has
slightly reeovsnia from its former depression, and in-
quiries are numerous, NW§ are reported as in -"better
demand than formerly. The prospect Gi 4 onculty With Russia
adds to the uncertainty which is so prejudicial to foe tß(le
generally, and which prevents the negotiations of large con-
tracts.

LuEyRE-PouTALts AND TEE "
letter from J. a f frag -Pon talis appears in the Siècle re-
ferring to the ,criticise}} Regotiations with Bismarck
respecting- the .elcettont migotiiitions were, he
says, opened with the object of ParFAii,' Put flip deprec of
the Tours Delegation befote the Ooternment of Paris
declared it useless. They did not take piece with M.
Pontalis himself, but the 11layor of Versailles. The letter
which he wrote to Bismarck did not, as the Siecle repre-
sents, ask his authority to proceed to the elections, but
represented to him that M. Poutalis and his
friends could not appeal to the electors of
the Seine-et-Oise unless a French prefect con-
voked them. The only meeting he has taken
part in has been a conference with some of the former
leaders of the Opposition, and more especially with M.
Grevy, whose Republicanism is above suspicion. The
object of this conference was to represent to the Govern-
ment the necessity of convoking a National Assembly. M.
Lefevre Pontalis protests indignantly against the inter-
pretation which the ASiecle puts upon his acts, and objects
to personal government in any form, even in time of
invasion.

CACAOINE.—Cacoa nibs on the removal of the oil fall
nto powder, and this powder is cacaoinc. Cacaoine contains
neither sugar nor any other admixture whatever. Cacsoine makes
one of the lightest, thinnest of warm drinks, anti is the most do
sirable of all for use in the later hours of the day. Cacaoine, by
reason of the ingenious method by which the oil Is removed, pre-
serves all the fine natural flavour of cacao nibs.—Prepared only
