NEWCASTLE CORN MA It KET.—May
Our farmers brought a larger supply of wheat to this-day's Market than
for some time past, but the coasting arrivals since Tuesday being rno-
dcrate the whole was quickly cleared off on fully as good terms as last
Saturday. For Malting Barley there was little or no enquiry, as the
-season has nearly closed. Oats were in god supply, and last week's
rates scarcely maintained. For Malt we experience more demand,
though prices cannot be noted any higher. Rye sells, freely at our
quotatio.;s.. In Beans or Pease there is little alteratiod. Flour is in
fair request at last Saturday's rates; indeed choice samples command
rather more money.
