CORN MARKETS.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 3.—At our market to-day there is a
tolerable attendance of the trade. Wheat is fully 2d. per
bushel and Flour is. per sack cheaper, than on this day
se'nnight ; there is perhaps a little more disposition to pur-
chase, than has been observable for some time past, but no-
thing like an active business can be reported. Oats and Oat-
meal are dull, at a decline of Id. to 2d. per bushel and 6d. per
oad. Beans arc also Is. pu quarter cheaper. Malt and other
articles without change.
PRESTON, FEB. s.—We had not a large supply of English
Wheat at our market to-day, nevertheless the sale ruled dull at
abobt 6d. per windle decline. Scotch upon a limited inquiry
receded 6d. per windle. Foreign neglected, and 2d. per bushel
lower. Flour 6d. per pack cheaper. Beans fully maintained
our last currency. Oats and Oatmeal continue to be pressed
for sale ineffectually, the former at a further reduction of id. to
Id. per bushel, and the latter at 3d. to 6d. per load below the
rates of this day se'nnight.
WAKEFIELD, FEB. 4.—To-day's market is well supplied
with all articles. The demand for Wheat is of a very restricted
character, at a reduction of Is. to 2s. per qr. Barley Is. per
qr. lower, and good qualities in fair request. Oats id. per st.,
and Shelling ls. per load, cheaper. Beans sell in retail at a
decline of Is. per qr. on soft qualities.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FEB. s.—At our market to-
dsy there was a good delivery of Wheat from the farmers, the
condition of which was as indifferent as ever, and it could only
be sold by submitting to a reduction of fully 28. per qr. upon
the rates of last Saturday. The arrivals of Wheat and Flour
from the south, as well as from abroad, are considerable,—a
good deal more having got in since our report was made up ;
holders not being inclined to yield to the extent demanded,
very little business resulted;—in the sales effected a decline of

Is. to 2s, per qr. must be noted upon both English ana Foreign
qualities since this day week; but in the expectation that the
present depression is only temporary, this reduction in value

was not generally complied with. Malting Barley being in
large supply, and sales very dull, prices gave way Is. to 2s. per
qr. Owing to contrary winds, the arrivals of Oats from the
north are still kept out, but having only a limited slow de-
mand, last week's rates were with difficulty maintained. Peas
and Beans as last reported. South country sack Flour lower.
DUBLIN, FEB. 4.—The return to fine :weather has already
had its effect on our Corn markets ; every article, with the
exception of Malting Barley, has become lower. Flour, Oat-
meal, and Indian Corn dull. Owing to the liberal arrivals, and
the certainty that a large quantity of breadstuffs will come to
hand shortly, buyers are acting on the defensive.

CORK, FEB. s.—The market continues depressed, and the
trade supplies its wants most sparingly. Wheats declined Is.
per barrel, where sales were pressed, and Indian Corn 2s. 6d.
per ton.
