CORN MARKETS.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 12.—Our market to-day is exceed-
ingly firm and healthy in tone, and although sales of Wheat
and Flour are easily made at some advance on the irregular
prices of the past ten days; still we do not consider the
improvement sufficiently decided to warrant any alteration in
our general quotations. Oats and Meal sell slowly without
change in value. Beans in better supply and barely support
last week's rates. In Malt and other articles no variation.

PRESTON, FEB. I2.—We had a small supply of English
Wheat at our Corn Exchange to-day, which met a quick sale at
6d. per windle advance. Scotch must also be noted Id. per
bushel dearer, and we had rather more inquiry for Foreign,
which recovered last week's depression. Flour barely esta-
blished an advance of 6d. per pack. Beans in active request,
and 6d. per windle higher. Fine Oats steady, common neg-
lected, although no advance is required. Consumers buy new
Oatmeal more freely at the rates of this day se'nnight, and,
owing to the severity of the weather, old has been in better
demand for feeding purposes, at prices rather exceeding that
day's prices.
WAKEFIELD, FEB. 11.—We have a fair arrival of Wheat,
nevertheless holders are firm, and order a good quantity to
warehouse. A fair extent of business was done at an advance
of•ls. per quarter on the low rates of last week. Fine heavy
Barley maintains its value, but lower descriptions move off
slowly. Oats and Shelling steady. All other articles un -
changed in value.

CORK, EBB. 12.—The weather is clear and frosty, with oc-
casional falls of snow. The foreign imports this week are
small, and native supplies gradually decrease notwithstanding
the corn trade has ruled excessively dull. Foreign Wheat a
heavy dragging sale, without any material alteration from our
quotations of last week, and Indian Corn, though offered at
at a decline of 2s. 6d. per ton, does not command a sale.
Oats f.0.b.: A few parcels taken at 10s. oel. to Ils. 6d. for foreign
export. No demand coastwise.

DUBLIN, FEB. 11.—The market to-day was less depressed
than of late, and the currencies of Tuesday were generally
supported.

CATTLE MARKETS.

SALFORD, FEB. 9.—There was an increase in the supply of
beasts, and the general quality was seasonably good. From
the Liverpool market, there were 950; from Cheshire, 130;
direct from Ireland, 320 ; from the North of England and
Scotland, 350. There was a good attendance of buyers; but,
owing to the high rates asked, the beef trade was rather dull,
and at the close of the market a clearance was not effected.
There was an unusually small supply of sheep, for which there
was a brisk demand.—Beasts: First quality, lid. to 50.;
second, sd. to 50. ; inferior, 4d. to 42d. Sheep, 64d. to 7/d.
Calves, sid. to 6id.—Number : Beasts, 1,759 ; sheep, 3,681;
calves, 210.

LEEDS, FEB. 9.—There were 730 head of cattle for sale at
this day's market, and a large attendance of buyers. A fair
clearance was effected at advancing rates, viz., 75. to 7s. 4d.,
and some in prime condition 7s. Bd. per 16 lbs. Sheep, 4,000 ;
all were sold at an average of 7d. per lb.

DUBLIN, FEB. 10.—We bad a short sharp market, and sales
over early. Beef same as last week—sinking offal, 465. Bd. to
50s. to 525. per cwt. ; Mutton advanced id. to id. per lb., the
currency being s&d. to fully 7d. per lb., in sink—in fact,
London prices; so much for continued bad weather ; veal, 7d.
to 7id. per lb. Heavy Pigs bought readily at 475. to 48s. per
cwt. ; light, 465. Bd. per cwt. There was, however, less demand
for export than during last month.
