low rates recently submitted to, has tended to limit
operations ; but manufacturers are particularly steady,
and no accumulation of stocks is at present going on.
For Greece and the Levant there is still a steady business,

and bargains; anything very cheap being readily pur-
chased, while goods for which the value was asked were
scarcely looked at and rarely bought. The tone of the
market has been, on the whole, more hopeful.

BRADFORD. —Wool : The increased number of lookers
r brieht-haired wools, last week, rave a tone of confi-

dente, and higher prices were den-ianded. This week,
things are as dull and dispirited as ever. The, profitless
state of the yarn trade forbids purchases being made.

Noils and brokes are in request, with a very limfted pro-
duction.—Yarns : There is more inquiry for yarns, both
spool and reeled, but the prices offering are so bad that it
deters spinners from producing ; and there is no doubt,
with the very limited quantity of machinery now at work,
that they will become very scarce, and higher prices will
be realised.—Pieces : The operations of the merchants are
by no means extensive, and the limited supply coming to
market is only in keeping with the demand.

NOTTINGHAM.—The lace and hosiery trades are as
inactive as is usual at this season, and until Christmas is
turned it would be unreasonable to expect a change for
the better. A fair spring trade .may reasonably be
expected. _ _ _

LEICESTER.—On the whole, trade here is fully equal,
indeed better than was anticipated some time ago, for this
period of the year. Prices remain firm at last quotations.

CORN.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. n.-At to-day's market we had
only a moderate attendance of home and country buyers,
the exceedingly reduced stock of wheat and flour afford-
ing little inducement for parties from a distance, and the
sales of each were to needy buyers only, with little variation
from the prices of Tuesday. Indian corn met with a good
inquiry, and as the parcels on passage are fast going out of

importers' hands, a trifling advance of ab-Out 3d per
quarter was established on the annexed currency, at which
improvement several parcels changed hands. In other
articles there is no variation to note.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 21.—At market to-day there
was an exceedingly slow sale for all articles of the trade,
and no higher prices could be obtained for either wheats
or flour, the small advance made of the latter at the
beginning of the week being lost. In oats no alteration
was observable, but oatmeal may be quoted 6d per load
higher. Egyptian beans were also 6d to is per quarter,
and barley 6d per load dearer. In other kinds of grain
no change worthy of remark.

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 22.—The arrivals of wheat have
been large, and of other grain fair. Wheat was is per
quarter lower, with a slow trade. Barley was fully as
dear. Other articles have not altered. Wheat, 14,500
quarters ; barley, 2,970 quarters.

DUBLIN, DEC. 22.—There was rather a slow market
to-day, but prices of Tuesday were very fully supported
for every description of grain, and in some few cases a
shade advance was realised on wheat. Indian corn met
an improved demand at an advance of is per qr.
