N CHESTER, MAI 15. Throughout the week the trade
has continued in a very lifeless state. Factors, however, have
not shown any anxiety to press sales at materially lower
rates; but in the limited business passing buyers have had
the turn of prices in their favour on most articles. Coastwise
and from Ireland the arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are
scanty, but ffom abroad we have to notice a further large
supply of flour from America, together with liberal quantities
of wheat and Indian corn. Our market this morning was of
a languid character, and on wheat and flour we note a reduc-
tion of Id per 701 b and 6.1 per sack respectively. Oats and
beans, owing to the favourable change in the weather, moved
off ilowly at barely last week's rates; whilst oa,meal, althougil
in moderate demand, fully maintained its previous value.
WORCESTER, MAy 15.--The market to-day has been
hardly so good as of late,but best English white wheat was worth
16s 6,1 per bag, and red 15s to 15s 6d. Malting barley in
slow demand at 3s 61 to 3s 8d per bushel ; other qualities,
3s 4d to 3s 61. English beans must be quoted at 4s 6d pee
bushel, and foreign from 4s to 4s 3d. Old English oat!, 3s 6f
to 3s 9d per 391 b ; and new, 3s to 3s 4d ; Irish, 2s 9d to
3s. Vetches, 4s 6d to 5s per bushel. Peas, from 3s 9d to 45
per bushel.

At Stourbridge market on Friday the supply of all sorts of
grain was limited, and a ready sale was obtained at last weel's
rates. A trifling advance was realised for beans.
At Stratford-on-Avon on Friday, there was a fair supply of
wheat, which was offered at last week's currencies, but the
millers pressed for a reduction. Farmers, however, would not
submit, and the result was a flat market. Wheat averaged 21
per imperial quarter. Barley was worth 26s 6d to 27s 6d per
quarter. The transactions in other grain at late rates.
At Wolverhampton the supply of wheat was short, both
from farmers and dealers, but there was enough for the de-
mand, anu in order to effect sales a reduction of Is per quarter
had to be submitted to in the price of wheat. English white
wheat was worth 5s 4d to 5s 6) per 621 b, and red 5s to bs 2d.
The value of barley was fully maintained. Nlalting sold at 2Ss
to, 293 per quarter. Beans were firm. Old fetched 13s 6d put
156,13, and new 12s 6d, with a fair business doing. o.as movoLl
off slowly at the currencies of the previous market-day. Eug"
lish oats, 22s to 23s per 31216; Irish, 20s to 225.
NOTTINGHAM, Niny 15.—At Derby market yesterday
there was a small attendance of buyers and little was passing
in any article, no alteration taking place in the value of way

buyers ; the prices of last week were well supported. OFr
barley quotations are nominal. Oats supported their vain!,
and beans were Is per quarter dearer. '1 he present prices of

At Bury the trade was dull at a reduction of 28 per quarter

and fetched rather more money.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MAY 13. At our market
to-day the numbers were oxen, 772 ; sheep, 1,068; lambs: 188.
The market was well supplied with good cattle, which caused
sales to be slowly effeted. Best ox beef 435, current 41e
to 425, middling 36s to 40s per cwt, -sinking the offal. At
the close a clearance was not effected. Sheep much the same

CORK, MAY 14.
The arrivals from abroad have been few. The supply, of
home grain is very small; the receipts for the week being
only—Wheat, 32 barrels at 19s to 21s 9d per barrel; barleys
317 barrels at lls sd to 13s per barrel; oats, 843 barrels at
9s to lls 5d per barrel. Oats are a little dearer, but other
descriptions of grain are unaltered in value. Except a sale to
some extent, ex-ship, the business passing in foreign vlheat,l.,,e
limited, prices remaining much as quoted iii our last. Barley
is uncharged in value, and in oats we have no sales of the least
consequence to report. The business doing in Sue flours):
confined to the supply of the more immediate -wants of 02
trade ; but coarse flours continue to be eagerly inquired for,
and meet a free sale, supply being inadequate to the demana•
The trade in Indian corn is only moderate, and prices have
given way to the extent of 2s 6d per ton, the value of prime
Galatz now being 71 lOs per ton.
