CORN.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. D.—With a limited attendance of millers
and dealers at our Corn-exchange this morning the trade ruled
very dull, for wheat. at a decline of 24 per bushel, with only a
moderate amount of business passing. Flour was in slow request,
although offered is per sack and barrel below Tuesday's currency.
Barley quite neglected, and 2d per bushel lower. Beans
nominally unchanged. Oats and, oatmeal moved slowly at a
reduction of Id per bushel on the former, and 64 per load on the
latter. Indian corn was again very freely offered, and few buyers
appearing, prices gave way Is per quarter.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 23.—At the market to-day there was a
slender attendance, and the trade ruled dull in every article.
Common runs of.wheat we quote Is to 28. per quarter lower, but
little abatement was made in the price of the best descriptions.
Flour attracted little attention, although freely offered at a reduc-
tion of taper sack. New English beans were again is per quarter
lower, whilst Egyptians were held for previous rates. Oats and
oatmeal were each the turn cheaper, and other articles without
material change.
WAKEFIELD, FEB. 29.—A fair show of wheat : trade was very
dull, and a decline of 28 from last week's prices was generally
conceded, without leading to much business. Barley was in fair
demand at rather over last Friday's rates. Beans were steady.
Oats and shelling were dull and the turn in favour of buyers.
WISBECU, MARCH I.—We quote wheat3s. to 4s. per qr. lower
today, with an exceedingly limited amount of business done.
Spring corn rather cheaper.
PRESTON, Maim.' I.—The corn trade has again relapsed into
an inactive state with a tendency to lower prices. There was a good
supply of English wheat at our corn-exchange to-day, which met
a very slow sale at an abatement of Is. per windle on fine, and Is ed.
on common qualities, but some of the farmers resisted the decline
and the market was not cleared. Flour rather cheaper. Beans
steady. Oats dull and Id. per bushel lower. Oatmeal neglected,
though offered at a (unlit'. reduction of ls. per load.
CORK, MARCH I.—Our flour market has lost the buoyancy of
last week, and prices seem to settle a shade lower. Foreign wheats
sell slowly, prices tending downwards. Egyptian wheat is coining
in freely of good quality, and best samples offered at 238. for2SOlbs.
Indian corn is again quiet, and holders are more desirous to sell.
DUBLIN. FEB. 29.—There was an exceedingly dull and
depressed market at our Corn-exchange to-day, and transactions
were completely confined to the supply of immediate wants. In
the trifling business which occurred wheat and barley scarcely
supported the currencies of Tuesday, and oats must be noted 3d
to 6d lower. We do not alter the quotations for Indian corn, but
holders found great difficulty in realising.
