CORN.

LIVERPOOL, MAY I2.—We have experienced a large
and active demand for wheat at our market this morning,
and the sales have been considerable at an advance upon
all qualities of Id to 2d per 701bs. In flour extensive sales
have again been made, buyers appearing from great dis-
tances, and fully 6d per barrel advance on sweet, and
nearly is on choice qualities of sour was realised. Barley
neglected. Beans in limited supply, and again (Id per qr.
dearer. Oats in fair request, without change in value,
and oatmeal in moderate demand for the interior at late
prices. The market is almost cleared of choice yellow and
white Indian corn, but as there are many parcels in dock
of which samples have not yet been obtained, a good dis-
play may be expected next week, which is likely to meet a
good inquiry at present rates.

MANCHESTER, MAY 11.—At our Corn Exchange
to-day holders were very firm for most articles. The best
deseriptiOn of wheat and American flour fetched extreme
prices, but common kinds of the former and English flour
were dull Of sale, and barely supported former rates. Oats
and oatmeal met a steady sale without change in prices.
Beaus were fully as high.
PRESTON, MAY 13.—There was rather more wheat
offering by our neighbouring growers at our Corn Exchange
this morning, the demand for which was languid at late
prices. Foreign met a tolerably free sale without change
in value English flour quiet. American in fair request
at full prices. ' Oats neglected, the prices being too high
for general use. Oatmeal moves slowly. Other articles
unvaried.
WAKEFIELD, MAT 12.—There have been fair arrivals
of foreign wheat, but very small of English. Really fine
samples continue in request, and we quote all descriptions
at the full rates of this day se nnight. Prices of barley
are quite nominal, inaltsters refusing to operate until trade
becomes more settled, after the increased duties on malt.
Other articles firm, at late rates.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAY 13.—We htid a
fair supply of wheat from the country this morning, which
