of last week would have led one to suppose; but it has been
quite as brisk as that of any market which has been held
lately. The downward tendency of prices which prevailed a
week ago has given way, and been succeeded by a tone of
firmness which the state of the wool market is likely to up-
hold, for some time at least, if we may judge from present
appearances. A good business has been done by the wool-
staplers.

NOTTINGHAM.—The Usual absence of demand always ex-
perienced this month still continues, and, with the exception
of a few final orders for the season, both for lace and hosiery,
there is comparatively nothing doing. There are a few orders
out for spring goods in the hosiery trade, but as ample time
is given for their completion, there does not appear any
activity in the trade. Stocks of goods are light, and there
can be little doubt of an average trade doing for the next
three months.

LEICESTER.—The last week before Christmas, and also
preceding the general stock takings, a less amount of work
has been given out, and less business is doing. Still, most
are buoyant with the expectation of better doings after the
festivities of the season.—The firmness of the wool markets,
carefulness of the spinners, and general diminished produc-
tion, with the continued favourable state of the weather, all
tend to such a desirable result.

CORN

AfAI?KETS

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 23.—We had a slender attendance of
buyers at our market this morning, who purchased sparingly
of wheat, and only extra qualities of white, which are scarce,
brought within Id of the prices of Tuesday, while any thing
below this description, and all sorts of red, may be noted 2d
per bushel cheaper ; the demand was chiefly for the country.
Scarcely a sample of farmers' wheat appeared to-day; the
quality and condition in this district are better than in most
others.—Flour is in very limited request at 64 to 9d per bar-
rel reduction, and a number of parcels offered to arrive.—
Barley and beans remain without alteration.—Oats in steady
request, and id to Id per bushel dearer.—There is still a
demand for old oatmeal to keep over ; it is held for 6d more
money, and a good quantity of new has been disposed of
these few days for forward delivery at 33s 3d to 33s 64 per
load C. F. & I. ; the value on the spot is 33s 64 to 33s 9d.—
Prime Indian corn is in good demand; a cargo of Mazagan
sold ex ship for Irish orders at 45s per 4SOlbs.; the inquiry
for feeding is but moderate.

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 23.—The supplies of wheat are limited.
The trade has not been so active as last week, but holders
were extremely firm, and an advance of 2s per quarter on
last Friday's rates was obtained. Barley advanced Is per
quarter. Oats and shelling met an improved demand at
higher prices. Beans were quite as dear. Other grain steady.
Malt has risen Is to 2s per load.

DUBLIN, Dac. 23.—At the opening of oar Corn Exchange
to-day, higher rates were generally demanded for every de-
scription of grain, which had the effect of checking business,
and the market must be reported dull without any variation
in the currencies of Tuesday.
