WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 23.—The number of
beasts was 450, and sheep 2,500. Prices :—Beef, 5s 6d to 6s
3d per stone of 141 b. ; mutton 4fid to s*d per lb. Trade
being heavy, part of the beasts remained unsold.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, Mast 23.—For the season,
we never saw a better show of beasts, number and quality con.
sidered. Of sheep the supply fully equal to the demand.
Lambs in fair show also. With the exception of lamb, which
is the turn lower, we cannot note any decided change in
prices, though the attendance was good and sales briskish.
Only a few very inferior beasts and sheep unsold.
NEWBURY, MAY 24.—The quantity of wheat pitched to-
day is rather large, and by far more than is required, the con-
sumption being almost wholly confined to the supply of the
local demand, wh ch is very contracted. The sales made to-
day have barely supported the reduced rates of last week.
Barley but little in offer; the malting season having closed,
there is but little (lemma, at about late rates. Beans, short
supply, and is to 2sper qr. dearer. Oats and Peas, with a mo-
derate supply, unaltered in value.
LIVERPOOL, MAY 23.—At this day's market there was a
thin attendance of the town and country trade, and a very
moderate demand was experienced for wheat, at Tuesday's
prices. Oats and oatmeal met with a slow sale, but main-
tained their value. Barley, beans, and Teas moved off pretty
freely at full prices. Barrel flour hung heavily on hand,
though offered at a reduction of fully 3d per barrel. An ad-
vance of 6d per quarter must be noted in Indian corn, with a
fair amou,.t of business done at the improvement.
EXETER, MAY 25.—Cattle-- The market was- again heavily
supplied with all descriptions of stock, and a good business
has been done, at prices more satisfactory to the buyer. Fat
beef must be quoted 8s to 8s 9d, and in-some instances a shade
higher than this. Cows and calves were plentiful, but were
mostly of an ordinary description. and sold at from 71 to 121.
Ten Guernseys in calf were on offer, the prices asked ranged
from 101 to 121 each, which was thougl.t too high, and they
were not sold. There was a fair supply of steers, which sold
at from LO/ to 251 per couple. Good barreners were snore in
request, and the freshest sold at 58 to 5s 3d per score. Some
lots of tidy North Devon yearlings were sold at from 3/ to 41
each. From : 0 to 300 Dorset rearing calves were driven
in. and most of them went off at from 35s to 45s each ;
butchers' calves sold at 4d to 5d per lb. The best small
fat wether, in their wool, were worth sid to 6d per lb ;
naked fat hogs, about 5d to 5i.1 ; ewes, 5d ; lambs, 6i I to
73 ; store hogs. 25s to 30s each ; couples, 31s to 355.
Pork Carcases—There was a large supply, which, during
the early part of the morning, sold at 7s 63 to 8s per score;
but as the day advanced, there being not much competition,
and no buyers from Bristol, prices fell off materially—and be-
fore the market closed, good pigs sold at 6s to 7s 61 per score.
Pannier—Ducklings, 44 to be per couple; spring chickens,
2s 6,1 to 4s butter, 93 to 10,1 per lb; eggs, 2:1 for Is ; goose.
berries, 4tl per quart ; asparagus, Is to 4s per hundred ; rhu-
barb, lid to 3d. per lb ; lettuce, id to Id each ; new potatoes.
Is per lb. Corn Exchange.*—The attendance of farmers to.
day has been very small, and but few samples have been shown.
The millers are acting with great caution, and bought only for
immediate wants, and the growers stood out very stiff for pre-
vious prices. At a later period the market was better attended,
and samples were more plentiful. !For the best warranted
wheat, 6s 6d has been given, but 6s to 6a 3d have been the rul-
ing prices. Belgian white wheat, 150 s per quarter. French
ditto, 4Rs ; red ditto, 445, barley, 4s per bushel; oats_ '2s 6d
to 2s 1113 ; fine flour, 34s to 36s per sack.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 25.—There has been
a better assortment of sugars at market this week, but the
transactions have not been large, owing to the pretensions of
holders being rather in advance of the present currency. In
refined goods we have no material alteration to notice. Rum
continues very dull. —Bristol Mercury.

weighing 621 b per bushel, 4ls to 44s ; barley, 641 b per bushel,
