THE CORN TRADE.

WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY.--We are well supplied with
wheat and barley, and moderate supplies of other ar-
ticles. There is a fair demand for wheat, and the prices
of last week fully supported. Barley realized late
prices, but the sale is slow for ordinary qualities. Oats
and shelling are without alteration in value. Beans sell
in retail and rather cheaper.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.—At this day's market there was
a fair attendance of dealers, and a large show of all
kinds of corn and flour. There was an appearance of
more activity in the demand for wheat at the commence-
ment of business, but it did not continue, and the actual
sales were only moderate, without any general improve-
ment in prices. A large, parcel of American white was
sold to a speculator, but the price was not allowed to,
transpire. There was very little done in flour, cnd pre-
vious rates were scarcely supported for either Irish or
American. Barley, beans, and peas were all fully as
dear, with only a moderate demand. Oats and oatmeal
were heavy of sale, and prices were rather easier. There
was not much done in Indian corn or meal; and although
the best descriptions of yellow were held with firmness
for full prices, secondary kinds and white were fully 6431
to Is per 4801bs. cheaper.
NEWBURY, Nov. 2.—The supply of wheat to-day was
large, but principally composed of the new crop, most
of which was extremely damp in hand, and unfit for
milling purposes; what little old was in offer, together
with the finest new, sold freely at rather improv-
ing rates, whilst other descriptions were almost
unsaleable at very low rates. Barley, in mo-
derate supply, the demand for which- has been
good, and the finest malting descriptions advanced is to
2s per quarter ; other descriptions also a better sale at
late rates. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, and a
fair sale at last week's prices. Wheat—Old white, 60
to 63 lbs per bushel, 60s to 66s per quarter; ditto, 59 to

DEvszEs, Nov. 2.—We had a good supply of Wheat,
of which a fair proportion, perhaps a sixth part, was of
last year's growth; the best qualities, both old and new,
sold at a trifling advance, and in some few instances
from is to is 6d a quarter above last week's prices was
realized, but this was by no means general; the inferior
out of condition Wheats were quite unsaleable; the best
new fetched 27s a sack, and the best old 31s; of all in
fair condition a good clearance was 'made. Barley was
in good supply, more money was asked for it, but last
week's prices only could be obtained. In other grain
no alteration. Wheat, white, 60s to 64s ; ditto, best
red, 56s to 625; ditto, middling ditto, 49s to 555; ditto,
inferior ditto, 38s to 48s; Barley, 28s to 38s; Oats, 335
to 275; Beans, old, 46a to 48s ; ditto, new, 40s to 445;

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 2.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the 28th ult. there was an increased supply
of wheat, which sold readily, at rather higher prices.
Barley unaltered in value. Oats nearly maintained their.
value. Eor beans there was an increased demand, and
prices were fully as high. Peas more inquired for.
During the present week some quantity of wheat hat
changed hands at prices which cc uld not previously 10
obtained. Barley a good deal pressed on the market,
and rather lower. White oats fully as dear, but blackare the turn cheaper. Beans realize fully as mach.
money. Fine boiling peas are Lather higher. At dila
day's market there was a full supply of wheat, and fines
English ruled dull at is per quarter over the prices 01
this day se'nnight, but no advance could be obtained on
foreign. Barley of all kinds a slow sale, with the turn
in favour of the buyer. Oats 6d per quarter cheaper.
A large demand for beans at fully- previous rates. re"
unaltered.
