tised. Today we have no public) sales. The imports today were rather
larger, owing to no vessels being able to get up on Saturday, in conse-
quence of the fog. It is said that the hiders of Indigo intend to raise
the number of chests already advertised to 9,000. Pepper and Rice
are in considerable enquiry.

COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

NEWCASTLE•UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET.—Jan. 6.
At our market to-day we had a small supply of wheat from the
growers, though the coasting arrivals were large, and the whole met a
fair demand at similar prices to last Saturday. The supply of barley ex-
ceeds the demand, and th 2 sale is dull at our quotations. Oats are in
good demand, and prices a shade higher. Malt is exceedingly dull, and
all but the finest samp:es ls. per qr. cheaper. In rye very little doing.
Beans and peas remain without alteration. For flour there is very
little inquiry, and sales are difficult to effect at our quotations.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, JAN. 6.
The symptoms of improvement which manifested themselves last week
have boon confirmed by the generally improved appearance of the trade
in most of our leading markets ; and throughout the week a fair business
has been doing in most articles, with a tendency towards advancing
prices. From Ireland, the imports of Grain are rather moderate : of
Flour and Oatmeal very plentiful. At Wakefield yesterday, prices of
Wheat were sustained against a large arrival, but in other articles not
much variation. Liverpool steady, at Tuesday's rates. At our Corn
Exchange this morning, there was a fair business done in Wheat, at an
advance of Id. to 2d. per bushel on fine Irish and choice samples of Eng-
lish, but damp qualities were very dull of sale. Flour was in moderate
demand at full prices. Fine Oats scarce, and rather dearer. Meal 6d.
per load higher, with a fair enquiry. New Beans Is. per quarter lower.
and Peas are scarcely enquired for. Malt wasdull of sale, at a decline of
Is. per load.
