LEEDS CORN MARKET, MAY 5,

The reported arrival of Wheat is again short, hut part sam-
ples have been sent from vesses near at hand. The supply of
other articles is pretty good for the season. Fine Wheat has
met a fair sale at Is. per qr. decline ; on other qualities a still
further reduction is submitted to. Barley is rather cheaper.
Oats and Beans are fully as dear.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 8.
We have to report a large supply of wheat, and fair of other
Grain To-day there was a very thin attendance of millets, and
the demand for Wheat was limited to their immediate wants.
Pr ices of all descriptions of Wheat must be noted Is. to 2s. per
qr. lower. Considering the advanced state of the season, fine
Barley met with a good inquiry at previous rates. Beans sold
easily on fully as good terms. Oats and Shelling each in slow
request at barely former prices. Malt firm.

WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 6.
We had a large supply of stock at market this morning, of
both descriptions. There was a good attendance of buyers, yet
the market was heavy at the following prices :—Beef, 6s 6d to
7s led per st. Mutton, in wool, 7ld ; clipped, 61r1 per lb. Lambs,
23s to 25s per head. We had a large supply of lean cattle and
calvers.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 5.
Upon a change of wind we hare to report a liberal sup-
ply of Wheat, and a fair quantity of Oats, Flour, and ( sat-
meal from Ireland, but, with the exception of Malt, rather
scanty arrivais Coastwise ; the import of Foreign Grain
during the week being only moderate, and of States Flour
somewhat less than 9000 barrels. _ _

There was a fair attendance at this day's market.
Trade, influenced by the depressed state of Mark-lane
yesterday, rules dull, and free Wheat, both old and new,
is 2d. to 3d. per 701 b. lower.
Irish sack and free barrel Flour is in slow request, at a
reduction of Gd. to Is. per sack.
..

Barrel States Flour in bond was held for a proportion-
ate advance.

Little passing in Oats or Meal : both the turn lower
Indian Corn continues to meet a good demand

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY S.
There is no difference in the duties from those stated last week
The arrivals of the p'st three days furnish a small supply only
of all articles coastwise and from Ireland; but we have some
quantity of Wheat and Indian Corn from the Southern por s of
Europe and America. besides upwards of 17,0011 barrels Fleur.
Since Tuesday and up to the close of yesterday, we had very

little business passing in any branch of the Corn trade; and fo-r
A all leading articles, our market this morning was dull in the
1214,50' extreme, depressing the value of free Wheats 2d to per 7 lb.
,"11 below our last quotations, and rendering prices I ttle more than
nominal. Irish and Canadian Flour also, of which scarcely any
sales were pt acticable, might have been purchased at a propor-
tionate reduction had buyers appeared.
Prime English Barley, in the absence of supply, would, if at
hand, probably support our last currency; grinding samples,
meanwhile, being nearly without in,,uiry. Malt, Beans, and
Pease, upon a very slow retail demand, hardly maintained late
prices. .

Indi .n Corn. still forming an exception to the general bear-
ings of the trade, continued to m':et a fair steady demand, and
reali,ed a further z•dvance of Is. per orib.
Oats and Oatmeal, being very unsaleable, were the turn
cheaper. . _

A c ,rgo or two of Mediterranean Wheat floating, the price of
which has not been named, and a parcel of white Danzig in
bo,d at Bs. per 701 b., comprise the only transactions reported
there.n to-day. Of States Floor under lock, several hundred
barrels have again changed hands at 265. On., and at that rate
there are buyers, but few sellers under 275. per barrel.
