JULY 18

The weather with us has taken up fine since our last, with
bright sun and a moderate temperature, and the general re-
ports of the Grain crops in both this kingdom and Ireland con-
tinue favourable. The trade here, during the past two days,
has remained quiet, with little change in prices ; in some of the
agricultural districts, however, there is still a slight tendency
to depression in the value of Wheat as well as Spring Corn, and
to the Irish markets similar observations are applicable. Since
Monday we have a few fresh arrivals of Wheat, chiefly from
Canada and the United States, with a liberal supply of Flour
and Indian Corn thence, but very little Grain of any kind from
continental Europe or Egypt.
. .

• -
Still devoid of any lively symptoms in the general features of
the trade, the demand for Wheat at our market this morning
was chiefly from country millers upon a very moderate scale,
on terms for all descriptions of English and Foreign about
equal to our last quotations, with one or two exceptions, in
which American white was disposed of at a decline of Id. per
701bs.—The liberal arrivals of States and Canadian Flour in-
duced buyers to pause for the moment, and the bulk of the
former being of second quality, such was offered at 18s. to 20s.
per barrel, the best descriptions not exceeding 218., and at
these prices the transactions to-day were rather limited in
amount; on the part of importers, however, no eager desire
was apparent to force the sale, under the impression of a re-
newed and regular demand from consumers. In French Flour
no change was perceptible.—Barley and Malt remained pre-
cisely the same as on Tuesday.—Beans and Pease little noticed,
and easier to purchase.—Oats and Oatmeal in moderate request
on the terms last noted.—Some sales of Indian Corn were
forced ex ship yesterday at a reduction of is., but to-day the
demand for Ireland revived, and upon a fair extent of business
6d. per quarter of that decline was recovered.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 18,

The transactions in Beef have been on a retail scale, at steady
prices for the best brands, but a slight decline on middling and
inferior. In Pork there has been nothing doing, and our quo-
tations are nominally unaltered. There has been a steady
country demand for Bacon, and holders, as their stocks become
reduced, ask rather higher prices ; for so far, however, there
has been no alteration in our late quotations. There is rather
more inquiry for low priced Hams, but the better sorts continue
quite neglected. Shoulders in retail demand only. The sales
of Lard reach 130 tons, the market being now somewhat firmer.
The quality of the Cheese lately landed being only middling,
sales have been difficult to effect. Tnere has been more inquiry
for Grease Butter.

WISRECH CORN MARKET, JULY 19.

For this season of the year there has been an unusual quan-
tity of Wheat offering, and from the extreme prices of last
week it may be called Is. per qr. lower. A sample of new
Rapeseed appeared, but not in condition for sale. The yield
is spoken of as good, and the largest number of acres to reap
that there has been for a great many years. Nothin7, doing
Beans or Oats.

We cannot advise any important change in the tone of the
Grain trade since our last. Buyers have been very reserved
in their operations, and the dullness and ileclininT tendency of
prices noted last week still continue. In some districts there
has been an apparent decrease of consumption, caused partly
by new potatoes coming to market at moderate prices, but
principally by the very restricted operations of dealers, in
anticipation of a falling off in the demand. At this day's mar-

ket Wheat was in slow demand, but firmly held at ForNler
rates. Oats were rather more plentiful, and cleared, with
some difficulty, at previous prices. Oatmeal was in good de-
mand, and in some cases 3d. to 6d. per cwt. dearer. Flour met
a fair sale at last week's rates. Indian Corn is wanted by
many buyers, but the late decline renders them cautious. and

more than 46 15s. on the spot cannot readily be made of prime
Corn, yellow or white, in quantity ; holders, however, generally
claim .46 Us. 6d., which is paid in retail.

CORK CORN MARKET, JULY 19,

The Flour trade under a diminished consumption, and buyers
buy in retail only. Wheat has a slow sale, holders refusing to
make concessions in price. Indian Corn is drooping in value,
and meets little attention.

STATE OF TRADE

ANCHESTER.—There is little or no alteration to report
in the market since Tuesday. India yarns still continue quiet,

operating very cautiously, and are placing orders in some cases
on rather better terms than they could have done on Tuesday,
There is, however, considerable irregularity in prices, accord•
ing to the position of the producer. Low warps are difficult
to procure, and continue to command full prices. So bare of
stock is the market in this class of production, that there are
looms at present standing for want of warps. Fine and doubled

yarns are very inanimate, and prices lower. Most descriptions
of cloth maintain their value. The exception is in 40-inch
shirtings for India, which are heavy on the market, and easier

the last few days
healthy.

The tone of the mai

ROCFIDALE.—The flannel market has undergone little or no
change since that of the preceding week, except in coarse
goods, such as kerseys, which have been rather more inquired

. .
after. The wool market has been full as easy, except in low-
priced English wuols, which are scarce, and maintain good
prices. _ _ _

- LEEDS.—An average amount of business for the season was
done in our public markets on both Saturday and Tuesday
last ; and, generally, the woollen trade of this district continues
moderately brisk.

HUDDERSFI ELD.— On the whole there has been an improve-
ment in our market on last week's. More business has been
transacted in the Cloth Hall. Striped woollens and fancies are
in request. Stocks are low in the hall, and more is being done
to order. In the shipping trade not much has been done. The
wool market is flat, and is usual at this time of the year.

BRADFORD. The demand for goods is quite equal to that of
several weeks past, but without any improvement in prices.
In fancy goods there is more doing, and at prices more in
accordance with the cost. No change as respects wool and
yarns. In colonial wools the sales in London are now com-
mencing, and these sales being the largest during the year (say
60,000 bales), will establish a price which will serve as a basis
for calculations for several months to come. Noils and shorts
are in fair request, and prices well supported, chiefly owing to
diminished production.
HALIFAX.—The trade in our Piece Hall continues in the
same languid condition. The only sort of goods in request is
low lastings, which are not produced in quantities large enough
fo: the demand. There is a moderate sale of powder-loom
damasks; but for those woven by hand the inquiry is very
limited. The depressed state of the spinners has undergone
no improvement. The quotations for yarn are inadequate to
the cost of production, at the current rates of wool; and there
seems to be no prospect of relief, except by running short time.
The sales of wool are not extensive, as the spinners purchase
only to supply immediate wants; and prices remain as they
were.

MACCLESFIELD.—The demand for manufactured goods,
though by no means extensive, continue slowly to increase;
complaints are, however, general at the present low rates,
which seem to be totally unremunerative. _

LEICESTER.—There has been a good deal more doing in the
hosiery trade during the week, and sales have been effected to
some extent for our autumn and winter trade. A great many
hands have beer. set to work, and it is now thought there will
not be more goods than will be required for our home enn.

sumption during the winter, in consequence of the stopp.,_
the hands for the last month.—There has been more doing in
the yarn trade, and stocks are not heavy in the hands of the
spinners. Prices of yarns are without alteration, and lower
prices are now not anticipated.—Leicester Advertiser.

NorrmonAm.—Lace : There is more doing this week, and
for the time of year more goods have been sold than usual.
Black silk laces are still inquired for, and there is on the
whole a tolerably fair demand for fancy goods. Hosiery : The
improvement we had to report in our two last week's reports,
continues uninterrupted, and we are rejoiced to remark it is
princpally for home supply. The time for the generality of
foreign orders is not yet arrived, but when these are received
we have every reason to hope there will be the average quantity
of employment for the bands, many of whom we lament are at
present unoccupied. The price of yarn is a turn in favour of
the buyer.—Nottingham Journal.
