MANCHESTER, OCT. 27.—. Throughout the week great
inactivity has prevailed in the flour trade, and with con-
siderably augmented supplies of both English and Irish,
the previous currency could not be obtained in the few
transactions which occurred. For oatmeal a moderate
consumptive demand has been experienced without
change in prices. The imports from Ireland into Liver-
pool continue to increase, and are this week on a liberal
scale; but coastwise or from abroad the arrivals are very
light. Our market this morning was exceedingly lan-
guid, and wheat receded 2d to 3d per 701 b. Flour (ex-
i cept select parcels of extra superfine quality, which
command our extreme quotation) was likewise freely
offered at a reduction of is per sock, and lower descrip-
tions even more, without leading to business beyond a
very limited amount. Oats must be noted is per 451 b
cheaper; but oatmeal, though not in lively request, sup.
ported the currency of this day se'nnight.
1 COLCRESTER, Ocr. 27.—The markets of the district
have this week generally declined for wheat. At our
l exchange to-day the quotations were lowered 2s, white
! wheat being 40s to 50s; red, 40s to 465. At Chelmsford
I yesterday the decline was Is to 2s; white wheat, 45s to
50s; red, 38s to 44q. There was a large supply of
malting barley, the quotations for which were lowered
I is per quarter, the best being 29s to 325; grinding, 23s
to 255. Other grain maintained late prices. In Suffolk
the markets have suffered a similar reduction. At
Woodbridge wheat declined is to 2s, and was extremely
heavy at that rate. Bsrley was 2s lower. At Bury
and at Stowmarket the trade was dull, and late prices
Igave way. _ _ _

Conic, OCT. 26.—We hare but a few arrivals of
foreign grain to report. The receipts of that of home
growth for the week are:—Wheat, 2,573 barrels at 163
to 21s 64 per barrel ; barley, 6.980 barrels at 6s 6d to
lls 6d per barrel; oats, 10,564 barrels at 7s 6d to 9s 6d
per barrel. Owing to the depressed advice. from Mark
Lane, the advance established on wheat last week has
been lost, during the last day or two. In prepared or
foreign wheat we have had literally nothing doing.
Prime malting barley fully supports late rates, while
grinding samples also meet purchasers at last week's
quotations. In prepared barley we have little passing,
and we must quote the trade in the article dull. Oats
which were higher in the early part of the week, have,
during the last day or two, given way slightly in value,
but the alteration is scarcely quotable. In prepared
oats we have no transactions to report, the pretensions
of holders operating to check business. The terms they
ask are 8s 9d to 9s per barrel, free on board; a price
which would scarcely leave any margin for profit to the
shipper. We continue to meet a steady
.consumptive
demand for approved brands of fine flour, while coarse
qualities stilt meet a free sale at full prices. Indian
corn is a very dull sale, in fact the business doing in the
article is on the most restricted and retail scale. This
may arise from the fact that potatoes are
more favourably spoken of, and that a very
general feeling of confidence as to their keep-
ing qualities is beginning to arise in the minds
of tho e most conversant with, and interested in
the matter. Indian meal continues totally neglected.
