BELFAST CORN MARKET, JULY 26

We have had fine and warm weather most of the past week,
with occasional heavy rains. The trade has resumed a firm
tone, the consumption being still large, and stocks wearing

low. The continued reports. Of potato disease, which are reach-
in„o• us from all quarters, have entire]) prevented any anxiety to
sell on the part of holders. At this day's market Wheat fully
maintained late prices, and there was a demand for coarser lots
in store. The demand for Flour is almost entirely for inferior
descriptions. Oats may be quoted rather lower, but are in fair
demand. Oatmeal having declined 3d. per cwt. in the week,
was in good demand to-day, and an advancemay be looked for.
. .

Indian Corn being in good-Consumptive demand, is very firn.
and prices especially for White tend upward. Yellow t 6 7s. 6d
to .t 6 10s. ; White scarce, at 12s. 6d. to £6 15s.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JULY 24.
We had a very large show of stock to-day, much exceeding
the demand; in consequence both Beef and Mutton were
lower; the primest did not realise over sd. per lb. A great
quantity of stock unsold.

WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JULY 24.
At this day's market we had 760 fine Beasts, of a most excel-
lent quality, and 6300 Sheep. Trade somewhat languid on ac-
count of Oa weather, yet an excellent attendance of buyers,

ss. 3d. to ss. Gd. per st. of 14Ibs. ; Mutton, 40. to 42d. per lb
We had a good show of lean stock and Pigs.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. JULY 25

The cattle market to-day was a small one, but a fair propor-
tion of Sheep. Good Beef was 2s. to 3s. higher per cwt. than
this day week, but inferior lower, showing a great • range of

ie closeneis of

—the sea-son may be said to be out. Beef, in sink,
prime, 425. to 465.; single cattle, 4Ss. ;' cows and inferior kinds,
355. to 40s. per cwt. ; Mutton, 4d. to 6d. ; Veal, 6d. per lb.;

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—Operations in this market have been con-
siderably restricted throughout the present week. Buyers,
who showed some disposition to suspend their transactions at

the close of the past week, have been encouraged to continue
the same course by the somewhat more favourable accounts of
the growing cotton crop from America, coupled with a rather
weaker market there, which, having produced a like effect on
the Liverpool cotton market, has induced an expectation of
some decline. This has not, however, been realised, although
buyers in some instances have the turn in their favour. The
utter absence of stocks on the part of spinners, coupled with
the fact that many of them have orders extending over a con-
siderable period, renders their position one which no temporary
lull is likely to affect in any but the most trivial degree, and
ested throughout the week, the
are somewhat less impracticable,

much firmness has been mani
only alteration being that they

ROCHDALE.—A brisk dethand for Flannels this week, and
the manufacturers ask rather more for their pieces, in order to
meet the late advanced price of the raw material. The Wool
market is steady, and prices are firm. . . .

Low goods have been in request, and have met with ready pur-
chasers. The Wool matte is about the same as last week.
Colonial Wools are in rather more request than before.
LEEDS.—The demand for Woollens, more especially for
goods suitable for autumn and winter_ continues active. and

the general prospects of the trade in this district is promising.
BRADFORD.—WOOL.—There is a better supply of all kinds
of combing Wools in this market, the recent heavy purchases

which those purchases have been effected, act as a draWback to
large sales being made. YARNS.—There is no change worthy
of note ; but from the advanced price of Wool, contracts will
not be effected for August on the same terms as July. Ps ECES.
There is a good business doing in all kinds of goods, and at
-rov nrices.

,ed p
HALIFAX.—A toleratly steady bnsiness is doing in some de-
scriptions of worsted goods. The advance in Cotton, how-
ever, has considerably affected those fabrics which are partly
made of that material, checking both the demand and the pro-
duction. _ _

NOTTINGHAM.—LACE.—The amount of business usually
done is, at this period, limited, yet there is quite as much

selling as at the same season in- former years. . Yarn will be
still higher in price. HOSIERY.—There is still a small amount
of business doing in some descriptions of summer goods for
the home trade, while for shipment, orders are very scanty;
and, indeed, will be so until the American orders are received
for their spring trade. We have again to lament that it is
probable there will be a further advance on the price of Yarn.
LEICESTER.—On the whole, the amonnt of employment con-
tinues the same. Manufacturers, however, complain that they
are not able to realise on the goods the advances in Wool, the
prices of which have again advanced in a small degree upon
the rates current at the fair. Cotton Yarns also continue to
advance in price, and it is said to be doubtful whether there
will be an average accumulation of stocks for the spring upon
the present rates of cotton.
