MARKETS.

CORN.
LIVERPOOL, FEB. B.—Our market to-day opened exceedingly
dull, and some few purchases of wheat were made a trifle under
Tuesday's rates, but having more buyers, the tone subsequently
improved, and tliough altogether we are enabled to report only a
moderate amount of business, the trade closed with more firmness.
Flour moves very slowly, and at rather lower rates. In barley
and beans we quote no variation of value, but the transactions are
very limited. Prime oats support their previous currency, but
secondary samples arc easier to buy; and oatmeal has again
slightly given way, the country demand continuing unimportant.
Indian corn is also 6d to 9d per quarter cheaper than on Tuesday,
mixed American being sold at 355 to 355 Gd; white New Orleans
at 35s to 35s Gd, and Northern white 37s to 38a per 4601b5„ the
business altogether light.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 7.—There Mail a large attendance at
market this morning, and more inquiry was experienced than of
late, but only a very limited amount of business resulted. We
must again reduce our quotations 4s to 5s per quarter on English
wheat, and 6d to 9(1 per 701 b on foreign ; 2s to 3 per sack on flour ;
ld to 2d per 451 b on oats • 2s per load on oatmeal ; is to 2a per
quarter on barley; and is to 3s per quarter on beans.
WAKEFIELD, FEB. 8.-The wheat trade has been steady to-
day. Millers would buy at a decline of Is to 2s per quarter from
the low rates of last week, to which factors only conceded in
partial instances. The business passing therefore was of a retail
character. Barley and all other articles rather cheaper.

WISBF.CH, FEB. 9.—There was a small show of grain of all
kinds at this market today. Farmers are more inclined to hold
over, and are reluctant sellers of Cleat at the rates of last week,
and but little business has been done. Oats and beans no
alteration.

PRESTON, FEB. 9.—There was a fair show of English wheat
at the market this morning, but, owing to the weather, the con-
dition was not good, and a clearance was only effected by sub-
mitting in most cases to an abatement of la per whittle from last
week's prices. Irish and Scotch, as well as foreign, 2d to 3d per
bushel cheaper. Flour nearly nominal. Oats a slow sale at id
to 2d per bushel less money. Oatmeal neglected though offered
at a further decline of is to is dd per load.
NEIVCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Fah. 9.—At the market this
morning we had a much less supply of wheat from the growers,
and having several seed buyers in attendance, a clearance was
readily effected at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter, extra sam-
ples for seed commanding even a greater improvement. In south
country and foreign scarcely anything was done, the views of
buyers and sellers differing tuo widely to lead to bus►ness. Flour
was reduced by our millers to 53s during the week, but Norfolk
households could be had in quantity at rather under thatfigure
to-day. Rye unaltered. Malting barley still evinces a drooping
tendency and is most difficult of disposal. Malt much as before.
Beans and peas in limited request, and a trifle easier. With oats
we were more sparingly supplied, and upon the whole a rather
firmer feeling predominated, 27s being about the value of Scotch
weighing about 40Iba per bushel. Extra higher.
CORK, FEB. 9.—We have passed through another week of very
great depression in markets. Flour is pressed at a further Mix-
non of 2s. dd, per sack, and yet sales are only diminished. In
foreign wheat there is still a bad selection, and prices nominal.
Indian corn declined sa. per ton, and has induced a few buyers to
operate.
DUBLIN, FRB. B.—The panic of Tuesday appears to have sub-
sided to-day. The market was generally firmer for every descrip-
tion of grain, and in some cases an advance of 6d per barrel was
realised on the best descriptions of red wheat, and dd to is on
Indian corn. Barley and oats fully supported their prices.
