WAKEFIELD, Marcl

There is a fair supply of Wheat from the farmers, but
the arrival up the River is only mcderate ; at the com-
mencement of the market the factors generally asked cn
advance of 2e. per quarter, but the millers were not will-
ing to give more than Is. per quarter above last Friday's
prices, and at that advance a fair extent of business has
been done. Oats are dull, at late prices. Good fresh Bar-
ley sells slowly, without alteration in prices, but the light
and middling samples are very dull sale. Good hard Beans
sell heavily, and on the turn cheaper, and the soft samples
are nearly unsalable. There is very little doing in Rape-
seed, and it is rather lower.
