MANCHESTER, FEB. 15.—Nothing has yet occurred to re-
lieve the trade from the monotonous inactivity which has been
so long experienced ; the transactions during the present week
have consequently been on the same restricted scale as pre-
viously noted, any change in prices which may nave taken
place being in favour of buyers. From Ireland and our own
coast the arrivals into Liverpool are only scanty, whilst the
imports from abroad consist of a moderate quantity of wheat
and beans, with a liberal supply of four, the latter article being
chiefly from France. At our market this morning wheat re-
ceded in value Id to 2d per 701 b. For four the demand was
extremely limited, and in the few sales effected some conces-
sion in prices was necessary. Oats and oatmeal moved off very
slowly, and must again be noted the turn cheaper.
NOTTINGHAM, FEB. 15. —We had a small attendance of
farmers at market to-day, and fine samples of wheat were
scarce ; such maintained their prices, but secondary and out-of-
conditioned were very unsaleable. The barley trade was very
flat, with but little business doing; we do not alter our quota-
tions. In oats and beans no alteration.
WORCESTER, Fes. 15.—The highest general price of wheat
must be quoted at 16a per bag, but 14s 6d to 15s is nearer the
mark for average samples of English-grown. Making barley
from 3s to 3s lid per bushel, and distilling about 2s 9d per
bushel. English beans 4s to 4s 4d per bushel, and foreign from
38 6d to 3s Bd. Old English oats 3s 2d to 3s 3d per 393), and
new 3s to 3s 2d. Irish 2s Gd to 2s 841. Spring vetches 4s to 4s
2d per bushel, and winter sold at 4s Gd to 4s 10d. White peas
averaged 4s, and gray 3s 8d per bushel.
At Stourbridge on Friday there was a fair demand, and all
kinds of grain maintained last week's quotations, except a few
damp samples of wheat, which could only be disposed of at 1s
per quarter less money. Average priee of barley 26s 3d per
quarter.
At Wolverhampton the supply of wheat from the farmers
was not large, but the millers were careless buyers, though
farmers would not submit to a reduction in prices; in a few
instances 65 per quarter reduction was made. Fine dry samples
of English wheat sold at last week's rates—red being worth 14s
6el to 15s 6d, and white 15s 6d to 16s per bag of 9 score 101 b.
Malting barley in less supply, and sold freely at 24s per quarter.
Beans moved off slowly at 111 6d to 12. for old, and les 6d for
new English. In oats little doing at IBs to 20s per 3121 b.
The price of the 41b loaf (brown bread) in this neighbourhood
is 4id. _ _

gALKEITE, FEB. 13.—The relative weight per four bushels
of the three prices of wheat were I 88491 b, I7st 81b, and 16st
121 b. Oats, 13st 01b, I lat 131 b, and lOst 61b. Barley, 16st 6113,

GLASGOW CATTLE MARXET, FEE. 13.—The numbers at
our cattle market te-day were—Oxen, 800; sheep, 1,497.
The large supply of cattle caused sales to be rather slowly ef-
fected. Best ox beef sold at 45s to 465, current from 42s to
445, inferior from 30s to 36s per cwt, sinking the offal. The
sheep market was well supplied, but no alteration in the prices
of last week. Best wethers brought 6d per lb, current from
5d to sd, inferior from 4d to 4i per do, sinking the offal. A
few of both oxen and sheep wined out unsold. Prime fed
calves in demand. Pigs dull at from 28s to 36s per cwt.
DUBLIN, FEB. 14.—We had an extremely dull market
today for every description of grain, but we do not alter our
quotations of Tuesday. White wheat, 21s 0.1 to 24s 6d ;
red ditto, 19s Od to 22s 6d ; barley, 12s 6d to 14s 6d ;

12s 6d to 15s Od ; Indian corn, per 4801 b, 29s to 335.
CORK, Fia. 14.

The trade during the week has been quiet, and the business
passing of moderate extent, Indian corn, stocks of which are
small, being the only article in which anything like activity
manifests itself. The supplies of home grain are rery limited,
the receipts for the week being only:—Wheat, 152 brls, at
16s 9d to 20s per brl ; barley, 943 brls, at 8s to 12s per brl;
oats, 3,857 brls, at 7s 6d to 9s Sd per brl. Wheat is un-
changed in value, but oats and barley manifest a downward
tendency. The business tieing in prepared and foreign wheat
is very moderate in extent, and restricted to the supply of the
immediate wants of the trade. Egyptian, however, owing to
the demand for coarse flour, has sold pretty freely at about 17s
per brl. In barley we have no transactions of moment to re-
cord. Oats are very dull, and it is almost impossible to effect
free on board sales of the article. Prices are nominally the
same as last quoted. The flour trade continues in the same
state as last noted. Coarse qualities are scarce, and continue
in good demand, but the business passing in the finer descrip-
tions is restricted and dull. The stocks of Indian corn are
light, and this, coupled with the fact that a steady consump-
tion demand exists for the article, has led holders to look for
au advance of 5s to 7s 6d per ton. We quote the value of the
article 7110 s to 71. 15s per ton.
