MANCHESTER MAY 10.—An improved feeling has been
experienced in the flour trade during the present week, occa-.
sinned no doubt by some of the dealers and bakersbeing corn;
pelled to replenish their stocks, and although no actual advatle
in prices has occurred, extreme rates have been realized for
fresh-made and approved qualities. Oatmeal has continued lay
tend upwards in value, but the sale has been by no means brisk.;
Into Liverpool and Runcorn the arrivals coastwise and frolns
Ireland are again on a very limited scale, whilst hens abroad
fair supplies of Indian corn and flour are reported, with, how'
ever, only moderate quantities of other articles. At our mar"
ket this morning much firmness prevailed, and wheat fully'
maintained the previous currency. For flour there was
tolerably steady demand, and an advance of 6d per sack vial
paid by buyers on fresh parcels. Oats and oatmeal were in fa',ll.
request, and must again be quoted fully Id per 451 b and 6d ix(
load dearer respectively.
WORCESTER, MAY 10.—Our market to-day was not eel
numerously attended, and the corn trade must be reported ea
stationary. For wheat there was rather a better demand, bet
prices must be quoted about the same as last week. "
English white wheat fetched 15s to ltis 6d per bag of • thr
bushels, and red 14s 6d to 15s 6d. Barley is a dull sale ; nia
ing qualities hardly inquired for; the general price 3s 9d
bushel. For distilling qualities 3s to 35 4d was obtainr
English beans are worth about 4s per bushel ; forein 3s I,al
For oats a fair demand at 3s to 31 6d per bushel forg Engl n"
samples, and 2s 6d to 2s 9d for Irish. Peas as before, but Ir.
transactions only of a retail character. Spring vetches from
to 5s 3d per bushel, according to quality.
NOTTINGHAM, MAY 10.—Our market was moderately ear
plied with wheat to-day, and good fresh qualities were react
sale at an advance of Is. per quarter. The few samplelc
barley sold were at about the same prices as last week. Bean.
fully maintained their prices, and oats were again 6d Co Is per
quarter dearer.
At Stourbridge market on Friday there was some firrn noes
in the trade. Wheat was rather scarce and in fair demand a'
prices fully equal to those of the previous market day. In barley
there was a pretty good business done, and last week's prices
were fully maintained. Beans sold better, and is per quarter
more money was generally obtained for English samples. Fear
firm at last quotations. In oats a retail business doing at the
currencies of that day week;
Kidderminster market was but thinly attended, and wheel
must be quoted firm at last week's rates. Malting barley log
dull of sale, but prices cannot be quoted lower than last week.
In grinding a lair amount of business was transacted at fully the
currencies of the previous market day. Oats held for more
money. Beans and peas as before.
At Wolverhampton market there was a short supply of
wheat from the farmers, and there was more firmness on the
part of the dealers; millers, therefore, had in most instaneea
to pay is per quarter advance on last week. White wheat
(English) was worth 16s to 17s per bag of 1901 b, and red 15a
to 163 per bag. Some fair qualities of foreign also realized 30
advance of is per quarter. Malting barley sold less freelr;
price 25s to 26s per quarter. Grinding as last week. Ula
English beans were better, and 12s 6d per bushel was 05'
tained ; for new Ils to lls 6d was had, and Egyptian lOs per,
1961 b. Oats firmer, and a rise of 6d per quarter was obtainea,
both upon English and Irish. English 21s per quarter, and
Irish averaged 1./.
A fair supply of wheat was shown at Atherstone, and lea;
week's prices were maintained. Spring_ corn was scarce and
worth rather more money than last week. Wheat 15s per
bag, average samples. Barley from 27s to 28s per quarter.
For oats we must put the current price at 21s 6d per quarter.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MAY B.—At our market to.
day the numbers were—oxen, 9 9; sheep, 976. Owing to the
large supply of cattle sales were very dull at barely last week?
prices. Best ox beef 465, current 4213 to 43,, inferior from 34s to
378 per cwt, sinking the offal; mostly all sold. The supply of
sheep was large, and prices same as last week. Best mutton
6d, current 5d to 51d, inferior 40 per lb, sinking the offal ; a
few turned out unsold. Lambs from 12s to 22s per head, ac-
cording to quality.

CORK, MAY 9.
The trade during the week, in the absence of any for Opt
arrivals of importance, continues much in the condition noted
in our last. Large arrivals at Mark.lane of foreign wheat; and
a continued large influx of dour (principally of French m Ann-
lecture) have had the effect of keeping prices in that market
depressed. In consequence of the interference of the foreign-
manufactured article with that made by our home millers, a
low undergrowl of discontent is beginning to proceed from as
latter, and appears the precursor of more overt acts of hostility.
to the law as it at present stands. The receipts of home grain-
are very trifling, and consist of—Wheat, 2 brls; barley, 171 •
brls; and oats, 677 brls. Prices remain unaltered. In the
finer descriptions of wheat the business passing is confined to
the supply of present wants. Coarse kinds, such as Egyptian,
meet a ready sale at prices fully equal to, if not exceeding,
those current last week. Of barley no stocks are held here.
Oats continue very firm, and the sales which have been made,
were at prices in faveur of the holder, The business passing
in fine flour is very restricted, but coarse qualities sell freely at
full rates. Indian cern has met an active inquiry, and a con- .
siderable business has been done in the article at an advance of
fully 5s per ton. We quote the value of Galatz, 71 15s to 7 k
17s, 6d per ton, and some holders, we are informed, are
asking 8/.
