IS 7

The corn trade at Liverpool on Tuesday was
cheaper-6d. to Is. on wheat; flour and maize, 6d.
At Leeds, Hull, Newcastle, business also favoured
buyers, but the smaller markets were mostly steady,
local supplies keeping short. Wednesday's market
in London was quiet in tone, value as on Monday, the
only fresh feature being the more temperate character
of the weather.

On Thursday, at Bristol, there was a better supply
of English week than of late, for which there was a
good sale at last week's prices ; foreign in only retail
demand, at unaltered values. Grinding barley and
Indian corn meet a consumptive sale at our quota-
tions Oats being in more plentiful supply, especially
Irish ()lacks are the turn in buyers' favour.—At
Devizes trade was brisk at last week's rates.—At
Manchester a quite trade at late prices.—At Newbury
little variation from late prices.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, the grain trade was
quiet on the whole, the attendance being rather thin.
English wheat in short supply, and sold at about late
rates The show of foreign wheat tolerably good ;
demand quiet, at late rates. A small supply of
barley. Malting produce quiet, but firm Grinding
in fair request, on former terms. Malt sold at pre-
vious quotations. English oats scarce, but a good
show of foreign. Prices unaltered. Maize at previous
currencies. Beans and peas quiet, but firm. Flour
disposed of at the rates previously current.—At
Andover a brisk trade at the full prices of last week.
—At Derby demand slow.—At Lincoln trade quiet ;
white, 6js to 725., and red 58s. to 64s per quarter.
—At Southampton a dull trade, but prices not lower.
—At NVakefield trade inactive at late currencies.
