WAKEFIELD CATTLE lIARKET, "giutcu 25.

We had rather a broken market this morning in consequence
of part of the stock being bought the day before, the market
being a day later than usual. The who'.e of the stock was not
penned that came to hand, and prices were much the same as
last market. Mutton, Gd. to 6id. per lb. ; Beef, Cs. Sd. to Gs.9d.
per stone. We bad a fair supply of lean Cattle and Calvers.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 26.
The supplies of all grain are moderate. The demand for
Wheat is ex remely slow, and principally confined to secondary
qualities; on the business done a decline of Is. to 2s. per quar-
ter must be noted. Barley Is. lower, and in limited request.
Beans sell at Is. per
.quarter less money. Oats and Shelling
barely mai tain previous rates. In Malt no alteration.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 27.
The business done during the week has been quite of a retail
character. At Wakefield, yesterday, there was a ,better sale of
"Wheat at a small decline upon previous rates.
At our market this morning scarcely anything is done except
in American Flour lying at Liverpool. Holders of Wheat and
Flour, the produce of the eastern counties, whence this town
and the surrounding districts have for some time been exclu-
sively supplied, seeing the very great discrepancy which exists
between their-prices and those currett for Flour at Liverpool,
seem inclined to withdraw their samples and await a more set-
tled state of things: A reduction of 2s. per sack on Flour, and
2d. to 3d. per bushel on Wheat would, however, probably be
submitted to were buyers to appear. Of other articles it may
be said that very little is doing, and prices of all may be re-
garded as nearly nominal.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MARCH 26.
Sugar.—The market continues quiet,. and the demand is con-
fined to the grocery sorts of B. P., which are very scarce, and
command full prices. The sales are only 400 hhds. B. P., 900
bags Bengal and 2,600 mats Mauritius, at rather lower rates.
Foreign.—With the exception of a sale of about 1,000 boxes
middling white Havana, at 60s. per cwt., the business of the
week has been trifling.
Molasses.—Lower rates have been accepted, and the quota-
tions are reduced; the sates are 500 casks Foreign, clayed,
at 235. per cwt. from the quay.
Coffee.—There has not been a single transaction for con-
sumption, but for export 900 bags fine ordinary Rio have been
sold at 355. per cwt.
A few bags red Bahia Cocoa sold at 465. per cwt.
In Pepper or Pimento no sales.
1,000 pockets East India Gingerhave been sold at 235. to 255.
in bond, and a small parcel of African at 38s. per cwt. duty
paid.
Rice.-2,500 bags Bengal sold at 19s. 9d. to 20s. for broken,
21s. to 225. for middling to very good white, and 700 tces. Ca-
rolina at 255. ad. to 275. per cwt.
Rum.—The uncertainty. as to the measures proposed by Go-
vernment, limits the business to a very trifling amount, and
prices are irregular; a small parcel of East India, proof
strength, brought 3s. per gallon.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 26. .
These has been a revival of demand during this week,
the trade as well as speculators and exporters having bought
more freely than for some time past, and advance has been es-
tablished upon American of fully id. per lb., particularly in
the middle qualities, whilst Brazil, Egyptian and Surat are
more saleable at previous prices. Speculators have taken 9,300
Egyptian and 100 Surat, and Exporters 1,650 American, 1,200
Pernam and 350 Surat.

COTTON MARK'

7r, MARcii 29

_ -
The change of tone in our Cotton market has been very re-
markable. The demand last week was very extensive from the
trade and speculators, and to-day the sales reach 9,000 bales, at
extreme rates, say id. to Rd, per lb. advance on the lowest
rates of Thursday and Friday week, and about id. on the quo-
tations of Friday last.
