MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—There is yet no favourable change in the
position of this market, which continues to be exceedingly
dull. Although the production is so materially reduced by
the turnouts and the partial working of short time, it is with
difficulty prices are maintained. It can hardly be said that
there is any general decline in prices, but the tendency is
decidedly in ►he buyers' favour. On Tuesday the demand was
extremely limited, and there has been little, if any, improve-
ment since. Transactions are not readily entered into, ex-
cepting for the supply of immediate requirements, in which
cases full prices are obtainable; but where the producer
makes any attempt to effect sales, he finds it impossible, un-
less at a decided decline.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 25.—Our market this mornuig was
thinly attended, having few buyers from the interior, and a
less number than usual of the local trade. In either English
or Foreign Wheats we can note only a moderate amount of
business; some parcels of American were taken ex ship at Id
per bushel reduction from the rates of Tuesday, but holders
in store remained generally firm. Flour, upon a limited sale,
scarcely supported the quotations of our last. In Barley,
Beans, and Indian Corn the transactions were strictly in
retail, without any apparent difference in value. Oats,
except of prime quality, as well as Oatmeal, barely supported
previous currency, the demand being of a trifling character.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 24.—The market this morning was
exceedingly inactive in all branches, but although in some
instances the turn of prices was in favour of buyers, no
change took place of sufficient importance to alter previous
1 quotations.

The following have recently arrived at Job Marson's stables,
Beverley :—Brown colt by Delirium, out of Miss Martin, by
The Bard; brown filly by Flatcatcher, dam by Don John out
of Stitch; brown filly (sister to Sextus), by Pompey; and
brown filly Alice Lttycock (sister to Nancy), by Pompey, out
of Hawise.

PRESTON, Nov. 26.—We had only a moderate supply of
English Wheat at our market this morning, which met a
tolerably free sale, and fully realised our last currency. No
Irish offering. Scotch without change. Foreign in less
demand, at unaltered rates. Flour rather lower. Barley
neglected, and nearly nominal. English Beans in good
supply but readily cleared at extreme prices. Irish inquired
for. Oats scarce, and the late improved quotations fully
maintained. Farmers' Oatmeal plentiful, but the demand
very dull at a decline of Is per load. Irish difficult to quit,
and the dealers being well supplied, it is impossible to force
sales, although a further concession from the rates of the
general qualities would be readily conceded. Bran 6d per
pack higher.
WAKEFIELD, Nov. 25.—The arrivals of grain are small;
the Wheat trade is firm, but business extremely limited at
about last week's prices. Fine Barley is Is per quarter lower.
Oats and Shelling unchanged in value. Beans and other
articles steady.
WISBECH, Nov. 26.—We have to-day had a fair show of
Wheat, and the trade exceedingly dull at Is to 2s decline.
Oats and Beans each rather easier to buy.

The County of Northumberland Steeple Chases arefixed for

CORK, Nov. 26.—The Flour market has been slow this
week, and the quantity on offer being larger than for some
time, bakers are timid buyers, but will soon have to take
their Christmas stocks. Foreign Wheats are as last week,
with a moderate business. Indian Corn firm at nominal
rates, the consumption not yet opened.' Native Wheats lost
last week's advance; white Barley and Oats are 3d per
bushel dearer.

DUBLIN, Nov. 25.—N0 alteration in home-grown grain.
Good qualities of all denominations fully supported Tuesday's
currencies, but middling and inferior samples of Oats and
Barley, of which the proportion is very large, can scarcely be
sold at even a considerable reduction in price.
