WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—FRIDAY.
The millers purchase Wheat only for their immediate
wants, as more extensive supplies are daily expected to
arrive, consequently the business done has not been large,
and barely as good prices as last week have been realised.
The Barley trade is very heavy, and a small reduction
in price has been submitted to, to effect sales. Other
articles of the trade are slow sale, without material alte-
