SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEBRUARY 17.
The supply to-day was good of both Beasts and Sheep ; still
all prime meat supported previous rates, and in some instances
exceeded this. Only inferior Stock remaining unsold.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 17:
During the present week considerably higher prices were
asked for Wheat, but millers bought very sparingly at rather
over last week's prices. Malt Is. to 2s. per qr. higher, but the
enhanced price checks the demand. Beans and Oats dull sale,
at former prices.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 16:
Our arrival of grain to-day is short. Wheat met a moderate
demand at 2s. per quarter advance. The little Barley offering
obtained 3s. to 4s. per qr. more money. In Oats no alteration.
New Beans a little more in demand at full prices, but old ones
sell slowly.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 19.
The supplies of all grain are very, limited. The market is
well attended, but very little business done, as holders are un-
willing to sell under last week's prices, and to effect sales ra-
ther less money must be taken. Barley fully as dear but the
demand less extensive. Beans as before. Oats and Shelling
each rather cheaper. Malt firm.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET, FEBRUARY 18.
Our market was rather scantily supplied with Cattle and
Sheep, for which there was a orisk demand, without any actual
alteration in prices, although higher rates were expected. Beef
sold from 455. to 555. ; very prime, 565. per cwt. off sink ; mut-
ton, sd. to 7d. ; veal, bid. to 7d. per, lb.,_ off sink. 'Good milch
cows hrought from to .t 420 each. Store Cattle few.

DUBLIN CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 19.
There was a tolerable supply of grain in to-day. In the be-
ginning higher rates were generally demanded, and in some in-
stances realized, but the market closed dull for all descriptions
of grain at the currency of Tuesday. White wheat, 475, to 50s. ;
miller's red ditto, 445. to 48s. ; Barley, 275. to 325. ; Oats, 20s.
to £258; Oatmeal, 255. to 28s. ; second Flour, 265.

•
HULL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 16.
At this day's market we had a good supply of Wheat from
the 'farmers, for which they were asking very extravagant
prices; millers were by no means free buyers, but we quote an
-advance of 3s. to 4s. on the business done. Next to nothing

•
MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, FEBRUARY 20.
The advance quoted in London at the beginning of the week
was only partially followed up here,. and the business since
done has been confined to the supply of present wants, at pre-
:vim rates.
The reports from Liverpool and Wakefield being flat, our
market to-day is quiet, and we repeat the quotations of our last
'for each article.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 19.
The depressed state of trade in the manufacturing districts
has now given a decided check to consumption, and the trade
• continue to buy very sparingly. Since the arrival of the
steamer on Monday, speculators have suspended their opera-
tions ; the business of the week consequently is very limited,
and a further decline of id. per lb. has been submitted to in all
descriptions: Speculators have taken 1250 American, and ex-
porters 100 American, 200 Surat, and 750 Egyptian. 250 Sea
Island 'will be sold next Friday.
