market was fairly attinded, and the improvement noticed on
Monday last was meintained to-day, but no quotable change

active, at the rates current on Monday. Barley was in fair
supply and request, at fully previous quotations. Malt ruled
dull, at scarcely late prices. There was a large supply of oats
on offer, the inquiry for which was steady, on former terms.

of Monday. Sales in flour were effected to a moderate extent,

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, WEDNESDAY.—There s no
improvement to note in any department of business at this
market to-day. The principal transactions are those only which
will not admit of delay, or where producers have met buyers by
submitting to a substantial reduction in price. There is no
apparent pressure to sell as yet, as the business of late has been
much under the production. The low prices do not tempt
buyers as yet.
