DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET, MAY 20.

Our market. yesterday, was somewhat larger than-the pre-
ceding one : but the business done was small, the high prices
having curtailed consumption. Sellers were holding up for
60s. or 70s. for Beef; but butchers bought sparingly, and were
unwilling to go to any extent. Mutton, 'Ad. to Md. per lb., off
sink; Veal, 9d. per ditto; Lambs, 18s. to 265. each; Pigs, 50s

DUBLIN CORN MARKET. MAY 21

Our corn market to-day opened with much excitement, and
accordingly higher rates were generally demanded, which had
the effect of checking business. In transactions which occurred
we consider Tuesday's prices were maintained for store parcels
of Wheat and Oats, and an advance of Is. to 2s. on fresh
farmers' samples of the former, and of sd. on the latter Was
realised. Indian Corn met a considerable demand at fully the
currency of last market, and for a few samples of very fine,
sold in retail, a trifling advance was paid. White Wheat 495.
to 565., millers' red ditto 475. to 545., Barley 2fs. to 295., Oats
2fl.s. to 255. ed., Oatmeal 245. to 275., second Flour 28s. to 29sA

To-day w. have but a moderate attendance ; the trade is ex-

,es of .ate attaining nearly 70s. per 4801b5., and .all other
article.,, up to this date, firmly supporting the terms last noted.
We have but few arrivals of Gram produce to report into this
place since Monday, except Indian Corn of which we have a
tolerably good supply.
Although more country buyers attended our Corn Exchange
to-day than is usual on Fridays, yet, owing to the present fine
weather, and the greatly improved appearance of all the coming
crops, the sales of Wheat were generally very limited in amount,
and all descriptions receded 2d. per 70Ibs. below our last quo-
tations.—Flour also, being taken less freely than heretofore, a
decline of Is. was conceeded, prime Western brands not ex-
ceeding 48L, and the lower kinds 465. to 475. per barrel.
Barley was in moderate request at late prices; and Malt,
Baans, and Pease remained unvaried.—Oats being more diffi-
cult of sale were the turn cheaper; Oatmeal, notwithstanding,
was held on rather higher terms.
Indian Corn, continuing to meet a good inquiry, fully sup-
ported previous rates, and Indian Meal remained steady in
value.
