CORN.-CHELMSPORD, May 11.-The market
barely supplied to-day with Wheat, and the trade ruled
at lest week's micro; in a few instances lower priors
taken. Red Wheat, 421. to 44s ; white, 506. to 62a. Beans
were la per qr. dearer, and very few offering. Barley e-
other urn' Cue wi hout alteration.
COVIINTZT May 11.-A decline of 6d. per bag en Wheat
took rises today, and but few sales effected, millers ' -
unlade' to bay largely. Malting Barley was not
inquired for, and to effect sale* something under last week'
'gees was taken. Samples of fine Oats found ready buyers
at as advisee of Is. per qr. Beans a slow sale, at former
terms. Fine Wheat, 17s to 17s. Bd. ; woad qualities,
113 e. Id. to 17s. Barley, malting, 280. to 29e, Id. ; grin.ll.-
261. to 28s. Beans, 0N,14i. 6d. to 18c; now,l2s. to 13s.
Oats, 20s. to 26a.
EXIT'S, May 11.-We have had a small and dull
I. Wheat to-day; then wee but little fanners' Wh
offering, but a good supply of foreign, which wee held
last week's rates, and wee reluctantly complied with
few buten-es. Batty y and Oats in good demand, •
prices. Wheat, 445. to 60s. Barley, 26e. to 28s.
21s. to 225.
Rini, May 11.-The met winds have brought in
supply from the near ports, and also the Baltic. For'
there is a steady sale, and beet qualities commend het A
rates, whilst inferior most be quoted Is. per qr. lower.
ley : The finest parcels of malting command tall rates
there is a steady sale for grinding, at well supported r
Batas meet a free sale at /1.11 last week's rates. Oats _
request at rather more money. Bad ing Peas command
rather better rates ; and grinders meet a steady sale at te-
of bet week. Rye is held for Sid. to 9d per stone • tieda.
Meal kr 61. per ton, the stock is the port being ;educed
Ws than 300 tone. Linseed Cakes, Hull-made, move
steadily at 71. 10e. per ton present delivery, and may sloe
had at this price for the summer months ; and 81. per
for the winter months. Foreign steady ; my, best qtr
81. 10s. to 71. ; middling, 6/. to 81. M. ; inferior,
61. 10s. per toe. B .pe Cakes have been same, to bug
815 s. to 87s. per toe as-ship. Bases have been to
supply, yet holders have shown much firmness,
eau are effected at 945. to 965. per ton •
Of Linseed the arrivals consist of 1,070 qrs. from Krx_
and 890 qrs. from Lichen; together 1,960 qrs., principally
crushers' account. The consumption at tall mills has
diminished of late, though it is yet lager than usual a.
season of the year, end we have experienced a good demand,
which has bleat well met by holders, sad buyers luxe
oeeded in purchsaing on richer more advantageous
than they weld lest week. There is rather a large
here for this period of the year-say, about 24,000 qn.,
than half of which belongs to speculators, who have ,
held for high rates, but now show more disposition t
buyers • which is also the cue in Leedom, where the
in first hands is variously stated from 60,000 to 70.0P'
consisting chiefly of Black Sea Seed; whilst the.
there are not supposed to held more than their iota
wants require. We quote the vela* of Black Sea,
finest Petersburg, 40s ; midd.iwr, 375. to 38e. ; iafetior,
to 365. ; Riga, 37s to Mc ; Memel and Ko.igsberg,
heavy crushing, 375. to 38e. • middling, 36e. to 38s. ; interim
325. to 34e. per sr., according to quality and condition,
Rapeseed • Toe only penal here is one of about 30
held for 301. per last. The new crop on the Cont.._
diminished this year, owing to the farmers preferring
✓OW grain, which is more certain and remunerative.
Wheat, English, old, white, per quarter, 434. I
new, 435. to 60s. old, red, 425. to 485.; now,
48s. Foreign, Wilts. to the bushel, high-mined,
46e. to 60s. ; Hamburg, red, 40s. to 445. ;
Odom, 38e. to 41s. Barley, per qr., melting, 265.
grinding, per 30stone, 200.6 d. to 22e.
Lincout, May 11.-We had but a short supply of
which was taken off at fully last week's prices. E
anything doing en Barley at late rates. Oats in gored
at full prices. Very few Beans showing. Woeat,
to 465. ; white, 445. to 50s. Barley, 275. to 33..
to 225. Beans, 28s. to 325.
Livauroor., May 11.-The weather, although
and the bights rather frosty, is less severe than at an
period of the week, bit, being dry, warm showers I
requisite, without which, it is feared, vegetation will
begin to suffer. The general character of the English
ken this week is fist, and the value of Wheat scarcely
ported, which ice tenon the trade here, although
of moat descriptions have of late become sensibly
we cannot, however, from Tuesday to this date, _
further depression in that article or Flour. Indian
with little choice on the market, has been for the r
taken less freely, with the turn in favour of buyers.
• few trio= lots of Wheat and Melt, we have a
anything fresh in coastwise or from Ireland donor
'past three day*, and, owing to the continued prey
of easterly winds, the only foreign arrivals consist
parcels el New Orleans Indian Corn, 4,050 qn. ;
*sport of that grain to Ireland mom= to close on .
The transactions in Wheat at our market to-day
generally upon • limited scale, were chi, fly restricted
the demand from • few country millers, our load "
buying sparingly : Mowed by the aunty arrivals
however, importers remained tolerably firm, and in •
of any description of either English or foreign, titer
decided change was perceptible. American Flour,
contrary, coatinucd to meet a good healthy demand
to 20,000 barrels having changed hands thismernu
with the prosp.ct of an Increasing consumption here,
as in the interior of this country and Ireland, the t
rates of Tuesday were fully maintained; Irish Flour
tame time attracting little notice. Barley end Malt'
slow request, and Bans study, on the terms last
1 Feat, in consequence of the high price of Potatom,
I tern dearer. Oats, with seemly any coming from
tray held at • slight =prevenient ; and Oatmeal w
ii per load dearer. Owing to the absence of say
I rash supply of Indian C3lll, this article was less r
taday, and [prices receded 6d. per qr., buyers ream..
file reserve foe more liberal amyl= oa the appearenie
Sic a renewed demand is anticipated.
Enron May 10.-Our supply wee limited
dors oakum ; sales very heavy, and last week's pi,
is me mem obtained. Wheat, white, 6a. to 61.
Iladia; red, 6s. 9d. to 6s. Beene, 4e. 3d
I a/ley, 275. to 31s. per qr. Oars, 14e. to 225.
Sonvieuerrox May 11.-The market today
ably asiseded, and our millers siting with great
