WAKEFIELD, FEB. 27.—The arrivals this week are r-nall.
For wheat we experienced an a-- heated sale at an advance of
full Is per quarter. Barley has entirely recovered from the late
depression, and makes full price... Oats and shelling are quite
-I dear. Beans meet a steady sale and are rather higher.

LIVERPOOL, FEE. 27.—At this day's market there was a
very small attendance of buyers, whose operations were quite
of a retail character; however, where sales of wheat and flour
were effected, the full prices of Tuesday were realised. Oats
and oatmeal were in moderate request at late rates. Barley,
beans, and peas remained unaltered either in value or demand.
Indian corn on the spot was without change, but cargoes atliat
were again rather dearer, 29s 3d per qr. having been refused
for Ibraila arrived off the coast.

BlANcitEstrEa, FEB. 28.—An improved feeling has been
experienced in the trade during the week, and a fair anteup

of business has occurred in approved marks of flour and suits
able cuts of oatmeal, at prices which, although demanded,
were not previously obtainable. Into Liverpool and Runcorn
the imports from all quarters (probably owing in some mea-
sure to a prevalence of adverse winds) are again only to a very
moderate amount. Our market this morning assumed a much
more buoyant tone than of late, and wheat was held for au
advance of Id to 2d per 701 b There was a good inquiry fat
flour, but holders having generally raised their pretensions 6d
to is per sack, business was somewhat checked. Oats ruled
steady at previous rates, whilst fur oatmeal slightly enhanced
terms were demanded.
NOTTINGHAM, Fan. 28.—At Derby yesterday there wag
a tolerably brisk demand for wheat, at is per quarter advance.
Barley was also Is dearer, with a short supply. Wheat, red,
44s to 46s per 36 stone; ditto, white, 50s to 535; barley, for
malting, 31s to 34s imperial measure; ditto, for grinding, 27s

stone. We had a lair supply of wheat at our own Corn EP._
chaoge this morning, which sold readily at the full prices of
last week, and in some instances at an advance of Is Pe
quarter. The demand for barley was limited, but its previous
value was fully maintained. In oats and beans no alteration.

‘VORCESTEIL, Feu. 23. Although the trade has been dull
of late, the value of wheat continues exceedingly firm in the
agricultural districts, and such was the state of our market
to-day. There were a good many farmers at the market, but
more were attracted by the state of English
than any urgent
desire to get rid of their produce. English white wheat 15,
6d per bag to 17s for best samples ; red, from 15s to 165 per
bag. Malting barley 3s 93 to 4s per bushel, and distilling

At Stourbridge market on Friday there was a fair trade
doing in wheat at the extreme currencies of that day so'n'tighsit;
Barley was dull of sale, and late quotations were bard"realized. Beans and and peas in request at late rates. °A"

At Wolverhampton there was a fair supply of wheat b,ollp
