LEEDS CLOTH HALL, DEC. 12.
Very little business doing in the halls, the merchants
buying very sparingly. Business in the warehouses very
slight, and of no importance.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, DEC. 12.
Th. supplies of wheat were moderate, but buyers
were by no means eager purchasers, and it was impos-
sible to establish any advance upon Friday's rates.
Barley steady. Oats and shelling as before. Beans and
other articles unchanged.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, DEC. 12.
Little or no business doing, and we may quote prices
the same as on Saturday last.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 12.
The ma! ket is dull to-day, with a large supply. Prices
of sheep about the same as last week.

NEWCASTLE HAYYMARKET, DEc. 12.
There was a large supply to-day. The market for
white dull, and prices lower.

HULL, DEC. 12.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states that although
the actual business of the past week has been limited,
the general tone of the trade tended towards firmness,
the impression prevailing that prices had seen the lowest.
which feeling alone, from its generality, helped to check
the downwar tendency we had to report last week. The
only improvement, however, that we can so far note, is
that sales have been made at prices not obtain-
able last Tuesday; demand is more active, but any
attempt to get more money checks business. The
long prevalence of westerly winds keeps back ar-
rivals, but with the first change we may look for good
choice in all kinds of grain. We had at to-day's mar-
ket a good supply of wheat from the farmers: they ex-
pected, and asked, more money, but the dull report from
London checked the spirit which might have been ex'
pected in the trade; more looking after foreign, but at
prices holders will not take—bonded finds more favour
than free. We eannot report any improvement in bar-
ley; making is stilt difficult of sale, and grinding
offered on lower terms. In beans and peas no alteration;
of the former our chief supply is new foreign, mostly out
of condition, and much remains difficult of sale. Grind-
ing peas are superseded by cheaper feed, and the sale of
boiling is limited owing to the mild weather. In oats
we have nothing doing. Indian corn goes off at late
prices, say 31s to 325. Arrivals of linseed are still mo-
derate, and being mostly for crusher's account little
comes on the market, which consequently remains tiro
—some fine East Indian feeding quality now on sale.
Cakes are unaltered in value with a very fair sale for
both English and foreign. No transactions in either
rapeseed or cakes to influence our quotations. Hones
more inquired for, but not many of good quality at pre-
sent offering.
