WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. MAncn 23

We have only moderate supplies, but have a good show of
most articles. Wheat is held firmly for the prices of this day
se'nnight, and a fair business passing. English Barley coin
mantis last week's prices, and not plentiful ; foreign goes off
slowly. Oats and Shelling are without change. Beans are
offering freely.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, MARCH 20,

We have a smaller supply of Grain at market to-day than for
some time past; still the trade continues extremely dull, and
both Wheat and Barley are difficult to sell at last week's prices.
Oats and Beans are rather in favour of the buyer.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 21.
During the present week we have not had much doing in
Wheat, but the prices of all descriptions have been maintained.
Malting Barley disposed of at former rates. Oats and Beans
also without alteration.

MARKET,

The supply of Wheat from the country to-day was large, but
being still without arrivals coastwise, the whole soh' readily at
prices rather, over the rates of last Saturday. There was like-
wise a good demand for foreign Wheat, and fresh parcels of
good quality brought in some instances Is. per quarter more
money.—There is little doing in South Country Malting Bar-
ley, and prices remain unaltered: grinding in retail demand at
late rates.--For foreign Oats, Peas, or Rye, there is a very
limited inquiry, notwithstanding the present low rates ruling
for each article.—The supplies of Oats from Scotland have ra-
ttier fallen off, and for such there is an improved sale at rather
better prices.—Flour is only a slow sale, but without any altera-
tion in value. The weather dut ing the lust few days has been
much colder, with easterly winds.

CORK CORN MARK

ET, 141Ancn 24

The imports of grain into this port 'during the past week,
consist of 6,850 quarters Wheat, 2,050 quarters ln“ian Corn,
and 960 quarters Barlcy; the shipments of Maize coastways.

leriod, have been considerable. A
vessels have recently arrived at (

pally from the Black Sea and Mediterranean, and although
very few of these cargoes may ultimately come on this market
for sale, the event is not without its effect on the minds of
buyers, and this circumstance, combined with dull accounts
from the leading English markets, has tended rather to increase
the pre-existing inactivity which has characterised nearly all
departments of our trade for some time back. In Wheat no
transactions of the least importance are reported ; the city
millers being in numerous cases direct importers, and having_
ample stocks for their present requirements, are completely
ont of the market? and there is at the moment very little coun-
try demand ; awaiting a revival of inquiry from the interior,
which is certain to arise at no very distant period, holders in

general are tole, .n, and do not press sales; prices remain
nominally unaltered : floating cargoes are dith -tilt of disposal,
notwithstanding occasional offers at low prices ; all resent
arrivals of this grain are placed in granary. The price of Flour
has been further reduced Is. to 2s. per sack, without as yet
leading to an extended sale ; the decline has been in a great
measure confined to the finer kinds ; inferior qualities are
rather scarce and such support their previous value; American
barrels are finding rather more favour amongst the bakers, and
for good brands 245. to 255. can be obtained. Indian Corn
Meal meets a stea,:y consumptive sale, at 14s. to 14s. ed. per
196 lbs., and the quantity of the article held here, as well as
importd Flour, is very unimportant. Without any animation
in the trade, Oats are taken by shippers, and for mea!ing pur-
poses, at former rates. Barley sells to the distillers and malt-

sters, and they experience some difficulty in procuring heavy
suitable samples • light descriptions are in request for grinding.

Early in the 'week Indian Corn brought a small advan-ce, buCai
our market yesterday there was less buoyancy, with a large
display of samples ; purchasers could not, however, supply
themselves on cheaper terms than previously, and large sales
have been made at the quotations given above ; a few cargoes
arrived in the harbour, have been sold at 28s. 6d. to 30s. 6d. per
quarter, C. F. and 1., the prices paid varying according to
weight, quality, and condition. Farmers' deliveries or giain

have now become so trifling that they are scarcely deserving of
ally notice ; probably their present busy occupation in field
labour interferes with their bringing forward even the scanty
supplies which hey retain, but it is generally admitted they
have, with very few exceptions, already disposed of their entire
produce of the late defective and deficient harvest ; the wea-
ther continues highly favourable for out-door work, and great
progress has been made in getting the spring crops into ground,
and the state of the land was considered very satisfactory for
the reception of the seed.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 21.
We continue to be very well supplied with all sorts of stock,
and as it exceeds the demand, the buyer has a slight advantage
in both Beef and Mutton. Beef, 5f4. to 50. ; Mutton, sd. to 6d.
Only very inferior Beasts and Sheep unsold.
