during the week, with a fair demand for consumption. There
was a good attendance of country millers at yesterday's market,
who purchased to a fair extent of fresh wheat, at about the
same prices as were paid on Tuesday, but to effect sales, ex

ceded. Flour was in moderate request at late rates. Oats and
oatmeal were held for full prices. Barley, beans, and peas were
without change in value. Indian corn was in good request for
iictdod, and fully Istc rates were obtaleed_whito, Obi to 9.5.
6d, and yellow, Ws to 311 per 4QOlb. No change to-day in
the value of any article. A fair business is going forward in
Indian corn at late rates.

MANCNUTIR, MARCH 31.—The trade during the week has
remained in the same inanimate condition as previously noted ;
but prices have undergone little or no change. At our market
this morning only a limited amount of business occurred in any
article, and although the turn of prices was generally in favour
of buyers, no alteration can be made in the quotations of this
day se'nnight.
WINCI4EITIR, MAR= 3l.—Corn.—The business was
partly interrupted by the nomination of candidates for the
election of a Member for the north division of this county—yet,
generally speaking, there was more business transacted than
last week, particularly in wheats. The show of home-grown
was short, but of foreign a full supply, several merchants trom
Southampton showing Stettin and American grown, of the
weight of from 6 Abs to 641bs per bushel, fine in quality, and
in the best possible grinding condition. There was shown also
several samples of beautiful wheats from the Rhine and Black
Sea ; a few extra white made Is per quarter more • red and
secondary sorts making the top quotations of this day week ;
fine white English, weighing 631bs per bushel, sold at 13/per
load of 5 quarters ; foreign ditto, 121 lOs to 131 ditto ; rest
ditto of best quality, English or foreign, 111 to 12/; a variety
of common sorts were ofered at from 8/ to 101 ditto. Tho
trade in barley was very limited, the only sorts sold being Eng-
lish chevalier, weighing 561bs per bushel, and finest Ham-
burgh, Mecklenburgh, and Pomeranian, weight 541bs per
bushel ; all others were Is per quarter lower than on this day
week ; the highest prices obtained were from 30s to 32s per
quarter, while other sorts might have been purchased at from
24s to 26s per quarter ; barley meal slow of sale, at 14s per
bag of ten score pounds ; malt but little inquired for, prices
asked 7s to 7s 6d per bushel.
