CORN MARKETS

LIEERPOOL,.TAN.3O.—Boisterous winds and frequent rains
have prevailed here during the past and present weeks,
and have constituted the ruling character of the weather
in most parts of the United Kingdom. In other leading
British markets held this week, an improved feeling in
every department of the Corn trade is stated to be universally
entertained, and in Wheat a further advance of Is. to 2s , in a
few cases 3s. per qr. is quoted ; Barley, with few exceptions, is
also noted Is. to 25. per qr.
,dearer; other Spring Grain, as
well as Your, continuing to incline upwards in value. With us
during the interval since Tuesday, Wheat and Flour, though
not in active request, hay,- maintained the full currency of
that date; whilst other articles, upon occasional retail sales,
remained unaltered in value. Exclusive of 3 335 qrs. of Wheat
and 5,576 barrels of Flour from the American States, the
arrivals from abroad, as well as those from Ireland, since
Monday last, r.re perrectly insignificant, anti we have none
whatever to report coastwise. Uninfluenced by the dimi-
nished supplies and reduced stocks in granary, our market to-
' day, contrary to the anticipations previously formed, assumed
lan extremely dull aspect relative to Wheat and Flour of all
descriptions, the sales being difficult to effect, and altogether
unimportant; notwithstanding which holders were equally
firm as before, and adhering steadily to the rates of Tuesday,
the quotations of that day stand unvaried. Both Malting and
Grinding Barley being in limited supply, and Malt not plen-
tiful, were severally Is. per qr. dearer. Beans and Pease, being
little noticed, barely sustained late prices. Good Mealing
Oats, of which few or tn,ne remain unsold, may be noted Id.
per 451b8. higher, the value of other kinds, as well as Oatmeal,
remaining unvaried. Indian Corn, either in granary or
floating, appeared to meet very little attention, but was offered
on lower terms.—We annex Tuesday's quotations :

MANCHESTER, JAN. 31.—The trade has continued to ex-
hibit an aspect of undiminisned firmness throughout the pre-
sent week, and although rather less active than previously, still
for approved marks of flour a further advance of 6d. and Is.
per sack has been realised, whilst Oatmeal supported fully for-
mer terms. At our market this morning there was only a
moderate amount of business transacted. Nevertheless Wheat
must be noted Id. to 3d. per 701b5., Oats Id. per 451b5., and
Flour Is. per sack dearer than on this day se'nnight. In other
articles no change was observable.
PRESTON, JAN. 31.—We are still without any supplies
worthy of notice. The trade throughout the week has been of
a firm character, but the dealers have purchased with caution,
and the transactions have consequently been unimportant in
amount. There was a limited supply of English Wheat at our
market to-day, and the demand being brisk, an advance of 6d.
per windle was in most cases established. Foreign Id. per
bushel dearer. Flour was held for rather more money. Beans
6d. per windle higher, and in fair request. Oats continue to
creep up in value, anti we raise our (notations about Id. net-

bushel. Farmers' Oatmeal advanced Is. per load, end the
gene'-al runs of Irish must be noted 3d. to 6d. per load above
the currency of this day se'nnight. Other articles as before.
WAKEFIELD, JAN. 30.--There is an average arrival of
Wheat this week, and to-day we have to note a more limited
sale, as millers during the last few weeks have bought freely;
hut still the trade retains its firmness, and prices are Is.perqr.
dearer. Barley is held for higher prices, but buyers hesitate,
and the sale is slow. Oats and Shelling are quite as dear.
Beans as last week.

NEWCASTLE•UPON-TYNE, JAN. 31.—There was a good
supply of Wheat to this day's market from the growers, and as
it is now relatively cheaper than south country qualities, it met
a good demand, and was all cleared off early, at an advance of
fully Is. per qr. upon the prices obtained last Saturday. In
ship or granaried Wheats there was only a limited business
transacted, owing to the high rates demanded by holders; but
in the sales made a further improvement of Is. per qr. on the
currency of this day se'nnight was fully established for all
descriptions of quality; the trade, however, was less active than
on Tuesday. The arr vats of Malting Barley are trifling, and
prices advanced fully Is. to 2s. per qr., and there is now little
remaining unsold. Oats were in good supply from the country,
but owing to the continuance of contrary winds, the expected
supplies from the north are still kept back ; buyers appear
inclined to get into stock, and the advance noted last week was
more readily obtained. In other Grain no alteration in value

of moment can be reported. Flour in request, ane
per sack higher than on this day week.

Is. to 28

WISBECH, JAN. 31.—The high prices asked by farmers (445.
per 631b5.) completely checked sales; and, except in a few cases
of fine quality, the market closed at about the same prices as
last week. Beans and Oats are fully as dear and looking up.
DUBLIN, JAN. 30.—There was a small supply of fresh
Wheat at this day's market, and a moderate one of Barley and
Oats ; and in some elms an advance of 6d. was paid on prime
Wheat and 3d. on Oats, Barley remaining at Tuesday's cur-
rency. Egyptian and other inferior Wheats brought an ad-
vance of fid. 10 is. But little done in Indian Corn, and prices
without change.
BELFAST, JAN. 29.—At the stock market prices of Wheat
have advanced about 2(1. to 3d. on the week, and at this advance
a clearance is readily made. In foreign Wheat a similar ad-
vance has been realised, and holders demand a further advance
of sa. per ton, which checks sales. Flour is held for Is.per cwt.

and barrel advance, but so farit is not readily obtained, Barley
must he quoted 2d. to 3d. up, and in demand. Oats are 2d. to
3d. higher on the week, and in active demand. Oatmeal more
inquired for, at a small advance. Indian Corn in good demand
at .E 7 per ton, and goes rapidly into consumption. JAN. 30.
Wheat and Oats sold freely at an advance of 2d. to 3d. per cwt.,
and Barley and Oatmeal at the full prices of yesterday.
CORK, JAN. 31.—The business transacted this week in Flour
is at the late advances, and to a moderate extent, a demand for
higher prices checking sales. The high pretensions of holders
of Wheat have much limited the business therein. Indian
Corn is held for very full rates, to which needy buyers unwil-
lingly submit. The general tone of the market is very firm,
with a large consumption.
