MARKETS.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, THURSDAY.—With the ex-
ception of English wheat, which has been iu good demand at
full prices, the trade during the week has remained in the
same quiet state as previously noted, without leading to any
material change in values. The imports into Liverpool
from abroad have been fair of wheat and flour, liberal
of Indian corn and moderate of beans. From Ireland about
average quantities of oats and oatmeal have been received. At
the market this morning English wheat was in good demand
and in some fnstances brought rather more money, while red as
well as foreign, was in mouerate request at previous rates. In
flour but little change was observable, extra qualities meeting
with a moderate demand at full prices, and the lower descrip-
tions being neglected oats ruled rather firmer. Beaus were un-
altered. Indian corn was 6d. per quarter lower.
BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, TuuItSDAY.--There was a
short supply of English wheat at this market to-day ; it was
nearly one shilling dearer. Foreign wheat was the same. Barley
was rather higher. Oats, beans, and peas maintained their
value. Indian corn was unaltered.
BRISTOL CORN MARKET, THURSDAY.—EngIish wheat was
in better supply than last week at our market to-day, and it
sold freely at rather over last week's values. Foreign corn was
scarce, and fully as dear, the secondary samples attracting
scarcely any attention. There was a good demand for malting
barley, at last week's prices. Grinding qualities were rather
dearer. Maize fully maintained its value, and was a good de-
mand. Oats were fairly sought after, and somewhat recovered
the depression of the last few weeks.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, THURSDAY.-There
were fair average supplies of stock on sale here to-day, the con-
dition of which was generally inferior, and to effect sales rather
easier terms had to be submitted to. With respect to beasts
there was a moderate supply. Prime breeds being scarce, late
rates were with difficulty supported, while on the other hand
inferior animals being plentiful an inactive inquiry was ex-
perienced ; and in some instances a slight reduction was
accepted. There was a fair show of sheep in the pens, which
came to hand also in very poor condition ; consequently the
demand was slow, and prices ruled with declining tendency.
Calves and pigs met a quiet sale, at scarcely previous cur-
rencies. Per Sibs. to sink the offal: --Coarse and inferior beasts,
