WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 29.
The arrivals are good or Barley and Oats, of Wheat and
Beans only limited. There is very little disposition to do busi-
ness this morning, on the part of either buyers or sellers, and
prices where sales are made are 10s. per quarter lower than last
week. Barley 3s. to 4s. cheaper. Beans 2s. Oats Id. per st.,
and Shelling 4s. per load lower. Malt also participates in the
general depression, and is Is. to 2s. per load cheaper.

HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 25.
The sudden fall in the prices of Wheat in Mark-lane yesterday
was far contrary to the expectations of the sellers, and a pause
'took place in the business, buras soon as holders were con-
vinced the millers would not buy, except at a reduction of 6s.
to Ss. per quarter, samples were generally withdrawn, and very
few sales took place, and at such irregular prices as to make it
difficult to give accurate quotations. Beans, Barley, and Oats,
were heavy sale and a shade lower. Flour was Is. per sack
cheaper. In other articles no change.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MAY 27.
During the present week the continuance of fine weather,
addedito the accounts from the leading markets, has pretty
much suspended the trade, and the only sale in Wheat reported
is one of fine white Spanish at 965. per quarter.—We have heard
of no transactions in Barley..—A per
trifling parcels of Oats
and Beans realised fully previous rates. At this day's market
little Wheat was shown, and we reduce our quotations Bs. to
111..

10s. per quarter, but the price was pretty much nominal.—
Barley 2s. per quarter lower.—Oats were held for former prices.
—On Beans the turn was in favour of the buyer.—The millers
reduced the retail price of flour 3s. 4d. per sack.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. MAY 29.
The past week has been one of perfect inactivity in the Corn
trade, both here, at Liverpool, and at Wakefield.
Our market to day is thinly attended, and nothing is done
beyond mere retail.

Holders do not press sales, but prices are so irregular that
our quotations, given as correctly as circumstances allow,
must be regarded as quite nominal.
We rate the decline in the value of Wheat is. to ls. 6d. per
bushel ; Flour, 4s. to 6s. per sack, arid 3s. to 4s. per barrel;
Oats, 2d. per bushel; Meal, 2s. per load ; Beans, Is. to 2s. per
quarter, and Malt, Is. per load: all other articles sharing in
the general depreciation.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 28.
The demand for Sugar during the week hasbeen limited, and
the sales of B.P. are only 500 hhds., together with 1600 bags
Bengal, and 1300 bags Mauritius, at riler lower prices. There
have been no further purchases of Foreign for export, but the
home-trade have taken 240 hhds. 70 barrels of Porto Rico, and
320 bags and barrels of Brazil. The sales of Molasses consist
of 200 casks Antigua, at last week's rates.
Clean ordinary Jamaica Coffee is wanted, and commands
good prices, but the better kinds are rather lower • the sales
are about 60 casks ; the trade have taken 700 bags'Laguayra,
and exporters 20 tees. 60 bags Porto Rico at 335. to 365. and
1000 bags ordinary Bahia at 295. 6d. per cwt.—A small lot of
black Pepper sold at 3d. per lb.—No sales of Cocoa, Ginger, or
Pimento.

Owing to the fall in the Corn-market, there has been a re-
duction of Is. to 2s. per cwt. in Rice, and at this decline 700
tees. Carolina, 4200 bags Bengal, and 600 bags Madras and
Java have been disposed of.
200 puns. Demerara Rum have been sold, without change in

There has been rather a better feeling in the Tea market, but
transactions are still limited.
Very little business has been done in East India Drysaltery Articles, and the sales are unimportant. In Saltpetre only 120
bags reported at 265. 6d., and 1300 bags Nitrate of Soda at 13s.
to 13s. 6d. per cwt.
About 500 tons Guano of all sorts sold at previous rates.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 28.
The good demand for Cotton noticed last week, particularly
from exporters, has continued throughout the present, and
much less has been offered ; the pressure to sell has ceased, and
prices have gradually advanced fully id. per lb. for American,
and id. per lb. for Brazil and Surat ; Egyptian has also been
in more request. Speculators have taken 8300 American and
700 Surat, and exporters 5570 American, 930 Pernambuco, and
80 Surat.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 31
As may be seen from our report of the Am
effect has been to harden Cotton here, and to
previous advices. Consumers can only now u
serve their purpose until trade revives, for the
demand would completely clear our market of
before the end of December. Sales 8,000; 3,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 25.
Of foreign Wheat direct from Europe, and some returned
cargoes from Ireland, we have a fair import of that Grain fresh
in for to-day, with a good supply of Indian Corn, and several
arrivals of other Grain : of American Flour, however, we have
less in than usual, and are not likely to have any large quantity
thence until the June shipments come to hand.
The decline in Mark Lane, and continued Ape weather, materially affects the sensibilities of holders, affd we have to
quote a reduction to-day of is. per7olb. on Wheat; ss. per bar-
rel on Flour ; 3d. per 60113. on Barley ; Is. to 2s. on Beans.; 25.
to 3s. per quarter on Indian Corn ; and 2s. per load on Oatmeal.
A moderate business has been done, however, and the market
closes more steadily, under the conviction that extensive
country orders will at once come forward.

DUBLIN CORN MARKET, MAY 28.
In consequence of the declining state of the English markets,
and the most favourable reports of the crops from every part
of the country, business was completely suspended at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and we could not name quotations
which can be considered more than nominal for any article.
