SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, DECEMBER 2

There was a much better show of stock to-day than for the last
two or three weeks, especially of beasts; the quality, however,
was much the same. There was a good inquiry for best beef, and
such found purchasers at a shade, and but a shade, under last week's
rates. Prime weather mutton maintained its value, but the best
ewes and inferior the turn in favour of the buyer. Some quantity
of beasts were left unsold, but few or no sheep, Best beef, 6d to
64d, inferior, 4id to el. Prime mutton, bid to 7d; and ewes and
inferior, 4d to bid per lb sinking the offal.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 1.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 5- Son.)
During the past week the imports of all kinds of Grain, Flour
and Oatmeal have bee:; only to a moderate extent, and the demand
has been very limited here and in our country markets for every
article in the Corn trade, at about our last quotations, excepting
for Oats and Oatmeal, which have again obtained a small advance
—about Id per 45 lbs on the former, and about 6d per 240 lbs on
the latter.
There is no change in the duties on Grain from foreign ports
since Friday last; Flour in bond continues to find an export de-
mand at 348 to 24s 6d per barrel—this article, free and in bond, of
superfine sweet quality, is becoming scarce, and in the hands of a
few holders, who abstain from offering it for present sale, feeling
confident of some increase in prices ere long ; several parcels of
Flour, supposed to have been perfectly sweet, have been found
sour, and thus this description is increased. A cargo of heavy
Dutch Brew Oats, recently arriced. found ready sale in bond for
export at about 3s 4d per 45 lbs.
The supplies to this day's market have been greatly increased by
arrivals yesterday coastways from the south-east counties, par-
ticularly of twelve or fourteen large cargoes of Wheat from Lon-
don, chiefly of foreign growth, which with the dulness and decline
in Mark-lane yesterday, caused a very moderate demand this day
here for Wheat, though at a decline of about 3d per 70 lbs. Malt
must be quoted 25 to 3s per quarter, and Malting Barley ato 2s
per qr. lower; Oats and Oatmeal barely supported the advance
a►,ove noted ; Foreign Flour was fully as dear ; so little English
Flour has recently been on the market, that by an error of the
press, the prices have remained at quotations much too high, and
are now rectified, though no decline has recently occurred. In
other articles we can note no alteration.
