CORN MARKETS.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 19.—At our market to-day there is a
moderate attendance, and some disposition manifested on the
part of purchasers to operate, where they can do so without
paying any advance, but holders generally requiring slightly
enhanced rates, for both wheat and flour, the business doing
is confined to the supply of the wants of needy buyers for
immediate consumption. Oats and oatmeal sell slowly without
change in value. Rather more enquiry for beans at full prices.
Malt without variation.

PRESTON, FEB. 19.—We bad a liberal supply of English
Wheat at our market this morning, most of it in very fine con-
dition, bus the demand was languid, and the currency of this
se'nnight barely sustained. No change in the value of
Foreign. Flour unaltered. Beans continue in request at full
prices. Oats neglected. For choice Oatmeal we have experi-
enced a fair retail sale, and such must be noted Gd. per load
higher; the general qualities were likewise held for 3d. per
load more money, but not being obtainable, few transactions
occurred.

WAKEFIELD, FEB. 18.—Our arrivals of grain to-day are
fair, and a good business has been done in Wheat at the ex-
treme rates of Friday last. Barley quite as dear. Oats and
shelling move slowly. No variation in Beans or other articles.
Arrivals : Wheat, 8,153; barley, 2,127 ; malt, 101 ; beans, 624 ;
peas, 260; shelling, 135 loads.

WISBECH, FEB 19.—The show of all kinds of Grain is only
small, our river being blocked up with ice so that no vessels
can leave the port. The pretensions of farmers are much
higher for Wheat, but they only obtained Is. more than last
week. Oats have fallen off in quantity, and about 6d. dearer.
Beans and Peas are also held for more money.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FEB. 19.—At to-day's market
there was a very small show of farmers' wheat, which was taken
off at an advance of Is. per quarter over the rates of last Satur-
day. South country red wheat selling at 495. to 515., as to
quality. The high prices asked for foreign checked sales.
Some Wismar wheat sold at 525. Stettin held for 525. Rostock
545. per quarter. Barley in small supply, and although the
demand is not very brisk, prices are fully maintained. Trans-
actions in beans and peas were only in retail, at barely former
rates. There was a small supply of country oats, but the trade
was slow, and no alteration in prices.
CORK, FEB 19.—The trade during the week has been firmer,
but the amount of business done was inconsiderable. Wheat

fully supported last week's prices. Indian Corn attracted
rather more attention, and a fair amount changed hands for
consumption, at about last week's prices. Flour unaltered in
value. Butter in limited supply, and about 2s. per cwt. lower.
Foreign Grain entered for home consumption this week :
Wheat, 920 qrs. ; Barley, 400 qrs.
DUBLIN, FEB. 18.—The supplies to our Corn Exchansle
continue small, owing chiefly to the severe weather. To-day
the market was generally dull, without any quotable alterations
in the currencies of Tuesday.
