MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. Arc. 4.

The business of the week has been of a retail character, and
the tendency of prices has been to decline, without, however,
any very decided change in the value of tl.e best qualities of
each article. With very fine weather and good reports of both
the grain and potato crops so far, our market to-day is very
slow for everything. Good and fair qualities of Wheat are
about 2d. per 70 lbs., Flour ls. per sack lower; inferior ano
unsweet lots of each altogether neglected. Oatmeal fid. per
load and Indian Corn 2s. per quarter cheaper. In other arti-
cles no variation.

WAKEFIELD cORII. MARKET, AVG. 3.

The arrival of Wheat is good, and there is a moderate busi-
ness passing in fresh English at prices nearly equal to those of
this day week ; whilst for foreign there is very little demand,
at a decline of Is. per qr. Oats and Shelling realise late prices.
Beans fully as dear. Grinding Barley rather cheaper.
