Butt, March 23.—The demand for Wheat has rather

The weather has continued very wet, and the low lands ars

LIVERPOOL, Mardi 24.- Buries the period between
Tuesday and to-day, the Corn trade here remained pretty
nettle in the same position as drserfaed in our last rei•-.tt,
the accounts in general tectived front most parts et this
country end Ireland, so tar tinting the weak, serving rather
to k cep the prices aaady then to elevate or deereu tee trade.
The arrit Is iota this pan since Monday last furnish a mode-
rate eupply of Wheat and other grain, with a fair quentaty
of Flour and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland ; those
from abroad comprising chatty about I,ooo.qrs. Barley and
6,347 quarters Indian Corn, as stated below. Of the
last-named article the exports within the past ten
days amount to 22,469 qrs.. against 11,257 amportcd.
Upon a very lolender attendance of buyers at our torn ex-
change to-day, the absence of country demand, and one
local dealers remaining extremely inactive, the operations in
any description of Wheat were confined to a very lim.ted
number of retail parcels, on terms barely equal to, and in
some cases rather under, the CUT rent rates of Tuesday. To
al: Li 01 I'LNIr Si 171 remarks were appLeatili., t -
made and Iris:, receding lid, per sack, and American tid. per
barrel. Barley and Malt exciting little notice, scarcely
maintained their previous value. Brans and Peas, altho.lgix
in slow request, were hell at late prices. Oats being more
plentiful, and few sales practicable, were td. is 13. per ithb.
cheaper ; and Oatmeal was slightly depressed in value. fit-
dien Corn and Corn Meal commanding lessattention than of
late, the former declined Is. per qr., and the latter 6.1. .1.
Although we appear to have had less rain here than in r.r.:iy
other parts of the kingdom, the weather, even with us, Roe
been frequently wet, and spring sowing protracted later than
usual. The following are the prices • Bntrate Wheat, per 711 b,,

Sornsahrrost, March 24.—There was a fair attendmee
at market to-day, and the supply both of Wheat and Barley
was moderate. Wheat was firm at last week's prices, the
Carmen in meet instances asking more money, which Was,
however, not generally submitted to. Barley was in good
request, sad the turn dearer than last week. In Oats r.rd
Beaus little doing. The demand fur Clover seed is very
limited.

WAKEFIELD, March 24.-The weather continues very wet,
and the report from all the agricultural districts repretant
the Wheat plant as suffering, and a• yet no progress mole
in the sowing of Beans and other Spring grain ; it is
getting very late, and makes the future prospect of the various
crops at least dubious. Our arrivals of Wheat are pretty
good ; only a moderate proportion of English, but a raw
sprinkling of new foreign, and some cargoes of inferior old
' from London ; prices to-day are steady, and lest week's rates
are paid. Barley is sold on rather better terms. Oats ea
before, without much activity in the demand. Beans go off
very slowly, and we again reduce our quotations

ROTTERDAM, March 20.-At this day's market, we had
but a moderate supply of white Zealand Wheats, which We.
eagerly cleared off both ter export and consumption, at tall
last week's prices ; good shipping qualitywu worth 40s. 6d.
to 41',. 6t. per qr. on board. Foreign Wheats met a slow
sale, at former rites. Rye meets little inquiry, but in the
few sales made its value was supported. Barley, Oats, and
Horse Beans must be noted 6d. per qr. cheaper. Pigeon
Beans unaltered. Peas as before. Rapeserd contiaues ne-
glected at our reduced quotations. Ilempwed scares, as
noted. Cakes ax. held at former rates, without &Wing

CATTLE, &c.—EJETiR, March 24.—The supply
this morning was goad, both of Cattle and Sheep, but there
was very little animation in business, and we cannot mote
any alteration from our quotations of fest week.
Newnan, Much 22.--This market has been supplied
more liberally with Sheep than for some weeks past, but the
prices asked and those bid were very different, especially for
some descriptions of Sheep ; the consequence was, that very
little business was done. Rather a thin supply of Beim
Pigs about se usual. 201 Sheep, 84 Beasts, and 101 Pi.
