MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—The market is still
destitute of anything like animation, but prices remain ex-
ceedingly steady for all descriptions of goods and yarn. The
unsettled state of the Eastern question continues to produce
considerable stagnation, whilst the same causes—the complex-
ion of the American advises and the position of the labour
question—exercise a countervailing influence. For India
yarns the demand has been restricted all week, but prices con-
tinue firm. In most descriptions of warps and weft for home
manufacture, an advance of *d. is required, which is an unfor-
tunate circumstance for manufacturers of domestics, whose
position was previously anything but enviable, but spinners
are exceedingly firm in their demands, the prospects of a turn-
out rendering them rather indisposed to make very exten-
sive sales. There is still a good home demand for goods at
full prices, and, in fact, goods of all descriptions maintain very
full prices. The strike amongst the operatives has extended
from Stockport to Manchester, and this week in the former
place the turn-out is not yet settled, nor do we see so much
probability of a speedy settlement as last week.
ROCHDALE.—Coarse goods have been principally inquired
after, while those of a finer quality have been leas in demand.
Low-priced English wool continues scarce, and anything under
I7d. per lb. meets a ready purchaser; but wools above that
price are rather lower, and more difficult to sell.
LEEDS.—On Tuesday the market was duller than for some
time past, and, with the exception of a demand for lower
priced goods for the Canada market, the business has been
dull out of the halls; the stocks are, however, lower in all
hands than usual at this season, and, in consequence, prices
are firm, and the millsicontinue fully employed. There have
been but few buyers in the town, and business has been dull
in the warehouses.

BRADFORD.—WOOI: There is very little doing in any kinds
of combing Wools. The spinners are disinclined to buy at the
prices sought. The supply coming to. market is very limited,
and the quantity of old wool here in some of the staplers'
hands is greater than at one period was expected. Yarns :
There is no change in either demand or price; and no one is
disposed to spin except to actual order, as the current prices are
ruinous. Pieces: There is no change since last week. If the
difference between Turkey and Russia were adjusted, there is
no doubt but our business would be very active.
HALIFAX.—The uncertain state of foreign politics has a
tendency to check operations both in yarns and in manufac-
tured goods ; and most persons are limiting their transactions.
Wool is quiet and rather easy to buy.

HUDDERSFIELD.—The advance in the price of some descrip.
tions of goods has a tendency to prevent anything like specu-
lation, and parties have been buying more for the supply of
their immediate wants than anything e:se. Wools are very firm.
LEICESTER.—Trade continues much as last week, as it re-
gards employment and demand. At the Wool fair held at
Leicester to-day, purchases were made very slowly and with
great caution, both by the buyers of this locality and York-
shire. A larger quantity of wool was pitched than usual, and
the attendance was numerous. The offers were from 365 to 40s.
Average from 375. to 335.
NOTTINGHAM.—The Lace trade, although by no means
brisk. may be considered in a sound and healthy state.
Chiefly owing to the high price of material preventing stocks
being made on speculation, and the constant change of patterns
required, makes machine holders generally unwilling to pro-
duce the more expensive goods, except to order. For the
better class of hosiery goods there is a fair demand, and orders
have, in many instances, to be placed several months in
advance of their execution.

MANCHESTER, JULY 2.—Our market this morning was
moderately attended, but an advance of 4d to 5d per 70 lbs. on
Wheat, 2s to 38 per sack, and is 6d to 2s per barrel on Flour
being demanded, the business done was only to a limited ex-
tent ; other articles were steady in demand and value.
PRESTON, JULY 2.—At our market to-day, we had a lively
demand for English Wheat, and a clearance was readily effected
at an advance of is to is 6d per windle. There was likewise
more doing in parcels from granary, and we raise our quota-
tions 3d per bushel. Flour in fair request, at Is 6d per pack,
and Is 6d per barrel more money. Beans, the turn higher.
Oats, though not brisk, must be noted id per bushel dearer.
Oatmeal without change.
WAKEFIELD, JULY I.—Our supply of Wheat exhibits to-
day a great falling off as compared with the two previous
weeks. On Tuesday there was an animated trade at Leeds, at
a considerable advance in prices, which was followed up here
to day with great confidence. We quote best fresh qualities
35 to 4s higher than this day se'nnight, and the market closes
with a firm feeling. Oats and Shelling were rather dearer.
Beans as before. Malt, Is per load higher. Little business
done in other articles. Arrivals: Wheat, 8,272 qrs. ; Barley,
170; Oats, 437 ; Beans, 7,552 ; Flour, 20 sks. ; Shelling, 20 ids.
WISBECH, JULY 2.—We have had a smaller quantity of
Wheat shown here to-day than for a long time past ; the ad-
vance upon Wheat is from 3s to 4s per qr. on all qualities, and
an extra shilling on a few select parcels. Beans and Oats are
held for more money, but there is little doing in them.
CORK, JULY 2.—Stocks of Flour are not large, and factors
hold for an advance of Gd per cwt. The Wheat trade is excited
beyond measure. The arrivals of grain at Queenstown for the
United Kingdom are very large; under the influence of these
circumstances, little or no sales take place. Indian Corn is
held firmer, and 2s Gd per ton has been made over the lowest
point of last week; the consumptive demand has lessened.
DUBLIN, JULY I.—There was again an incessant demand
for Wheat at our Corn Exchange to-day, and an advance of 6d
was realised on the improved currencies of Tuesday last. Bar-
ley.Oats,and Indian Corn dull of sale, without alteration in price.
