MARKETS.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, TIIUESDAY.—At our mar-
ket this morning English wheat met with a slow sale, white sorts
selling at last week's rates, and red the turn lower. Foreign
being held for the price of this day se'nnight, found few buyers.
Flour was scarcely inquired for, although offered in some in-
stances at a reduction of sixpence per sack. Oats were without
any material change. Beans ruled firm. Indian corn was 3d.
per quarter cheaper, but in better demand.

BRISTOL CORN MARKET, THURSDAY.-At this market
to-day the supplies of English wheat were moderate, and
values generally were quite as dear as last week.
For foreign there was a limited demand, at is. per
quarter reduction. Finest barleys were the turn higher
secondary and malting were dull and cheaper ; grinding and
distilling qualities sold slowly, at full prices. There was a fair
business done in maize, at a decline of 6d. per qr. Full prices
were paid for black oats, for which there was a good demand.
Other sorts were quite neglected.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, THURSDAY. -There
were moderate supplies of stock on sale to-day, and a consider-

able weather high prices were realised. Beasts were in fair
supply and firm demand, at fully Monday's currencies. There
was a moderate show of sheep in the pens, and although the
condition of the animals was indifferent, sales were
effected quietly, at the extreme quotations of Mon-

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, THURSDAY.-There was a
short supply of cattle at this market to-day, and it was chiefly

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY. Opening
Report.—This market opened with a little more inquiry to-day.
Probable sales 10,000 bales. The arrivals were steady. Imports,
11 bales. Closing Report.—The market to-day is steadier ; sales,
10,000 bales. The turn in sellers' favour.
'MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, THURSDAY.—The tone of
our market continues flat. Prices in all departments still tend
downwards. There is no demand for yarns or woollen goods
except on the smallest scale. Cotton buyers, seeing no prospect
of a speedy termination of the war on the Continent, expect still
lower prices. The strongest featurd of the market is the absence
of stock, so that there is no pressure to sell.
BRADFORD TRADE REPORT, TimisnAv.—Since the last
report this market, in common with most others, has suffered
a shock. Up to the end of last week things were improving,
but on Monday the rupture of the armistice negotiations caused
buyers to hold off, and a quieter feeling has since prevailed,
from which we are now recovering a little. Values of wool
have throughout been nominally maintained, though in the
early part of the week full quotations were not realised. A good
consumptive demand, however, keeps prices from receding,
and high rates in the country tend farther to
uphold them. Shropshire, and other hogs. have been
in better request, and old skin and low matchings
are at a ready sale. For export yarns rather more
has been doing, chiefly in thirties, single, and also in carded
yarns. Prices are a little hard. The piece trade is healthy, with
a fair Inquiry by home and foreign merchants. Prices aro
firm.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE, THURSDAY.—The

meeting of iromnasters at Birmingham to-day was largely at-
tended. There was much speculation and a good deal of appre-
hension as to the future of trade. The breaking off of negotia•
tions and the closing of the Elbe must have a considerable
effect on the near future. For the present, however, things aro
about as previously reported. Most works about live turns a
week.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, TIIIIRSDAY.--First Report.—
The market is easier to-day. Business has been done at 51s.
s&d. and 51s. 4id. cash. The close tended in favour of sellers at

to-day. Closing, sellers, 51s. 4d. to 515. 4id. cash. Buyers a
shade less.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, THURSDAY.—This
