LIVERPOOL, JAN. IB.—At our market this morning there
appeared to be a complete stagnation, and during the greater
part of business hours, transactions were almost entirely sus-.
pended ; ultimately a few retail tales of wheat transpired, holders
submitting to a decine of 4d to 5d per bushel (ruin the rates of
Tuesday last, but at this reduction nothing of consequence was
practicable; the pressure to sell was, however, by no means
general. We bud au equally dull trade in all other articles, and
must note a depression of Is to is 6d on Ram-, Is per qr. on beans,
Id per bushel on oats, is 61 per load on oatmeal, and fully 2s per
qr. on Indian corn.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 17.—At the commencement of the
market this morning, wheat was held for an advance of 2d per
bushel, and flour Is per sack •, almost at the same moment, how-
ever, intelligence was received of Russia's unconditional accept-
ance of the Austrian proposals for peace, the effect of which news
was a suspension of business for the remainder of the day, the
price of every article being only nominal.
WAKEFIELD, JAN. 18.—Wheat trade to-day almost nominal,
all parties being disposed to hold off. On the few sales pressed a
decline of 3a to 45 per quarter has been conceded. Barley dull.
Other articles partake of the stagnation, and to sell were neces-
sarily lowered.
PRESTON, JAN. 19.—There was a good supply of wheat at our
Corn Exchange to-day, the demand for which was very dull, the
dealers being indisposed to buy without an abatement of 2s per
windle ; but some quantity was withdrawn from sale, the farmers
refusing to submit to this reduction. All descriptions in granary
must be noted nominally 3d to 6d per bushel lower. Flour offered
at is per pack less money. Beans plentiful, and is per windle
lower. Oats quite neglected. Oatmeal declined 6d to is per load,
without promoting sates.
WISBECH, JAN. 19.—There was a small showof wheat to-day,
and but little business done. At a reduction of 5s to 6s per
quarter sales might have been effected, but to this the farmers
would not submit. Beans and oats Is to 2s per quarter lower.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JAN. 19.—At the market this
morning we had a large supply of wheat from the growers, a con-
siderable portion of which was in poor condition. At the com-
mencement of business the buyers were at a loss how to operate,
and began by offering fully 8s below last Saturday's rates, but on
finding the growers not disposed to accept such an abatement,
transactions to a fair extent ultimately occurred at a reduction of
4s upon best dry and 6s upon ill-conditioned samples; sonic
farmers in the meanwhile preferring to hold over rather than
make such a concession. From the stands scarcely anything was
done, and prices may therefore be quoted nominally as last week.
Flour is in such an unsettled state that quotations cannot be de-
fined with accuracy. Malting barley was generally held for full
terms, which had the effect of checking sales. In other grain so
little transpired that quotations remain unchanged.
CORK, JAN. 19.—The market carried on as per last week's
report and quotations until Thursday. The news received on that
day seems to have enguiphed all our buyers, but it being thought
that even in time of peace breadstuffs will be used, holders must
shortly feel a good consumptive demand at fair rates.
DUBLIN, JAN. 18.—In consequence of the increased proba-
bilities of peace, our market to-day was almost paralysed. The
only transactions which occurred were to supply immediate wants,
and we note wheat is to 2s, barley, Is to Is Gd, and oats Is lower
than on Tuesday. Indian corn unsaleable, though holders would
manifestly consent to a smart reduction. Our quotations for this
article are nominal.
