CORN.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 23.—We had but few buyers in attendance
at our market today. Wheat was held with tolerable firmness
for the rates of Tuesday last, and, upon a mo,:.erate amount of
business with consumers, we repeat previous quotations. Flour
is at the same time much neglected, and the value nominally
unaltered. Barley and beans move off with difficulty, the value
of the latter article ruling in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal
barely support our last currencies, with a very sluggish demand
in the absence of country buyers. Indian corn was again Is per
quarter lower than on Tuesday, the Irish demand is very trifling
at present, and to make any progress in sales not more than
38s 6ti per 4801bs. can be quoted fur mixed American, though 39s
has been paid for small parcels.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 24.—At market to-day the trade showed
more steadiness, having in some degree recovered from the late
depression; the amount of business done was nevertheless on a
very limited scale, at the following reduced prices, say 2s per
quarter on foreign wheat, and 3d per bushel on English, a portion
of the late fall being thus regained. Flour sold very slowly, and
was 2s per sack lower. Oatmeal was 6d per load cheaper, and
Egyptian beans and Indian corn each 2s per quarter. In other
articles there was no change worthy of notice.
WAKEFIELD, JAN. 25.—The wheat trade has, to some extent,
recovered the depression of last week, and prices must be quoted
Is higher. Barley maintained its price, but oats, shelling, and
beans, were rather lower.
PRESTON, JAN. 26.—There was a fair show of wheat at the
market this morning, and having a good attendance of buyers it
was soon cleared at a little over the extreme quotations of this day
se'onight. Irish, as well as foreign, was more sought after, and
the turn higher. Flour on the contrary, Is per pack lower.
Beans sell more readily. Oats rather cheaper. Oatmeal difficult
to quit at a farther abatement of 6,1 to Is per load.
WISBECH, JAN. 26,—There was a less quantity of grain offered
here to-day than last week. Wheat is 2s to 3s lower than this day
fortnight; at this reduction farmers only sell in small quantities.
Oats and beans rather dearer.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JAN. 26.—At the market this
morning there was a much less supply of wheat from the growers,
of which a clearance was readily effected at an advance of 2s. per
quarter upon the very depressed rates of this day se'nnight.
South country qualities as well as foreign were held very firmly—
a cargo from Visbeach weighing naturally 56Ibs. per bushel was
disposed of at 74s weighed 631b5., whereas for choice yellow 808
was freely given, the same figure at the same time being obtained
for extra Scotch white. In old foreign nothing was done, holders
being unwilling to give way to the views of buyers. Rye less
enquired for. Malting barley was held more firmly, but in its
value we note little change. Malt much as before, and the same
remarks will apply to beans and peas. With oats we were
scantily supplied by the growers, and upon the whole a more
confident tone pervaded the trade; 30s, however, may be deemed
a very extreme quotation for extra Scotch weighing 411b5., and

295. for 401bs.
CORK, JAN. 23.—1 n this week's markets buyers acted with
great reserve, and for select samples of flour or wheat paid very
near late rates for present requirements. Inferior parcels, which
are the more abundant, not meeting attention are generally with-
drawn rather than be pressed at a figure to ensure sales. Indian
corn has a small consumption at receding rates. The grain
market has shown a slight improvement on the week.
DUBLIN, JAN. 25.—There was a very poor supply at the Corn-
market to-day, especially of wheat, and the demand was entirely
confined to immediate wants. Wheat was 3d to 6d dearer than
on Tuesday, and barley and oats supported that day's currencies.
Indian corn met a very slow demand even at a reduction of Is.
