LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. FEB. 20
The receipts into this port, during the week ending yester-
day, include a moderate quantity of Grain and Flour, with a
fair accession of Oatmeal, coi stwise and from Ireland ; the im-
ports of Foreign produce within the same period, forming a Barley
a good supply of Wheat, Indian Corn, and Beans, and 4,954 Bere..
barrels of Flour, as specified below. New Oats
At our market this morning we had a good attendance of
town and country millers, and Wheat, though not in lively re-
quest, was disposed of to a moderate amount, at a decline of
2d. to 3d. from the rates of this day week.
Flour continued to meet a very dull sale, on the reduced terms
of Friday.
Barley and Malt, with scarcely any inquiry, hardly main-
tained our last quotations.
Beans were very difficult of sale, Egyptians not exceeding
245. per qr. ; and Peas were little noticed at the foregoing de-

Oats being in lIMILCU tiettial“at
top price of Oatmeal remaining at 23cs*er load.
With but few inquiries for Indian to-day, and not much
choice of fine samples, prices recede gn; and Indian

Meal was unsaleable at

CORK CORN MARKET, FEB. 24.
Our Foreign imports during the week amount to 2,900.9

Up to yesterday, when it changed to rain, the weather cor
nued exceedingly fine, and spring culture has been progress]
under the most favourable circumstances. The very dull

England, combined with local causes, haie tended to depre
the trade here, and for most articles the demand at present

siderableanxiety to realize on their stocks, but th
siness done in this grain has been very trifling, at a decline
about Is. per barrel on granaried parcels. The millers exhib
great caution in their operations, and only purchase to supp'
immediate wants. There are inquiries for cargoes of good so
Polish Odessa, or Marianopoli, arrived for C. F. & I , but tt
rates demanded by importers are deemed somewhat too hip
by the buyers. The demand for Flour cannot as yet be r
ported as having materially improved, still sales to a modera
extent are making of good and approved brands ; an early r
vival in the sale for this article is confidently looked for,
supplies are unimportant, stocks in factors hands light, at
the bakers holding very little, must shortly make more exte
sive purchases. A very large business has been done in Indi:
Corn, the sales being almost without an exception for prese
delivery, and consumption ; in the early part of the week pric
were well sustained, but during the past few days a reducti
0 0 of 2s. 6d. to ss. per ton has been conceded, and ut present qt
tations, it is taken by the millers and dealers with apparel"

great confidence. A few cargoes of Danube Maize litive be
sold during the week, 30s. to 325. per quarter, C. F. &I. I
increase has taken place in the deliveries of Grain from t
growers, and the general belief is, they have already sent neap
the entire of their produce of last harvest to market.

STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The market has remained quiet throughout
the week. The continued favourable commercial advices from
India have imparted an increased firmness to goods and yarns
suitable for that quarter ; it is. however, too soon yet for any
decided operations to be commenced ; and in consequence of
the higher rates lately current, there has been but little doing
in anticipation. The Greek houses have been somewhat busier
since Tuesday; and from the quietened tone of the cotton mar-
ket during the week producers have shown more confidence in
meeting any offers that might be made to them. On the whole,
however, the foreign houses are constrained to moderate pur-
chases, until they have fresh advices from abroad, accommoda-
ting their limits to the altered condition of the market here.

LEEDS.—Our market to-day ham
tures ; business continues sound,
good. There has been a good d
