CORN.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 14.—The market this morning
was thinly attended, and no symptoms of a continuance
of operations being apparent, the trade again relapsed into
inactivity. Both wheat and flour were much neglected by
country dealers, and the speculative disposition to invest
iin the latter article having subsided for the time, we had
consequently more pressure of stock, and all brands nearly
lost the improvement realized in the interval from Tuesday
last, whilst wheats may be generally quoted 2d to 3d per
bushel under the rates of that day. Barley nominally
'unchanged. Beans is per ,quarter lower, with only a
.a retail inquiry. Fine oats scarce, and maintain our late
'currency. In oatmeal little doing. XmtEan corn difficult
of sale, and offered 6d to 1s per quarter cheaper.

MANCHESTER; Namur 3.8.--,Our market to-day was
by uo means active. Wheat:was .effered at a decline of
Cd per bushel, and flour 2s per sack and barrel respectively ;
but at these reduced ratesitss aniiety than of late was
shown to effect sales. Oatmeal receded in value is per
lead, and beans and peas eaclr.2s. per quarter. In other
articles there was very little alteration.
PRESTON, Miucit 18.7—We have again to note a
small supply of English wheat at our Corn Exchange, but
the dealers being indisposed :to purchase, a clearance could
not be effected without submitting ta an abatement of 2s
per windle. Irish, Scotch, arid foreh,ntneglected, the two
farmer offered at 6d per bushel, and the.latter at 6d to 10d
below last currency. English:flour about.2s per pack, and
American full 2s per barrel cheaper. Oats offered in-
effectually at a reduction of ld per bushel. Oatmeal
neiit2y unsaleable at reduced -quotations :of is to 2s per
load. All other articles sell -Slowly at lower rates.
'WAKEFIELD, MARCH '7.—The .argvals of wheat
during the week amount to 72,000, quarters. At our
market to-day millers operated. on the most limited scale,
and -veryy, little business was done in wheatat 3s to 4s per
quarter reduction from last Friday. .Barley was is to 2s
per quarter; oats, ld per stone; shelling, 2s per load;
and' eans is per quarter lower. Other articles as before.
211.4.ncir 18.—We .have had quite a nominal
kind of .market here to=day, the quantity of samples
offering ayes small, and farmers not being -willing to
suinnitiaa reduction great enough to induce merchants to
buy, there was scarcely any business done.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, 11.kucii as. At our
'market this morning we had again A small supplynf wheat
from the ..country, which sold for fully 3s per quarter less
money thee_ on Saturday last. In south country and
foreign a sitar reduction may be -noted, but few sales
were effected. A fair supply of barley, which must be
quoted" is per, qr. cheaper. Oats in good: supply and fully
as dear. Floor a heavy sale at a reduction of 2s per sack.

CORK, MAX,CII 18.—Our market., participating lu the
general depression, is very bare of business. Some holders
offer at much below late prices, and so :obtain a moderate
sale for consumption. Foreign wheat declined 3s per
barrel, flour 2s Gil per sack, and Indian corn ]Os to 15&
per ton.

DUBLIN. Moincif 17.—We have again to note an
extremely depressed market at our Corn Ezebange to-day.
In the absence of demand we can scarcely report any but
retail quotations; ,w.beat, however, was fully 2s, and the
middling qualities of -oats and barley 6d lower than on
Tuesday. Indian corn. scarcely saleable, eves at the late

xeductions.

PRONI:SIONS,

.LIVERPOOL, Meilen 11.—The demand for beef this
week lalts been steady at full prices, and holders become I
more Confident of higher rates, seeing that the imports,
as compared with last year, fail off daily, the deficiency
to this date being now over 8,500 tierces. For pork there
is more inquiry, old American ia :particular having at-
tracted attention, and the sales for the week of all descrip-
tions reach about 1,400 barrels. Bacon is only a slow
sale; the dealers, anticipating reduced prices as the
arrivals now on the' way come forward, buy sparingly.
Lard is quiet, with prices rather in favour of buyers : the
sales for the week are on a very limited scale.. For cheese
there is a moderate demand, and the stock becomes much
reduced.
31Aucn 20.—There was j fair amount of business
transacted during the early part of last week, and the
market was completely cleared of all the finest qualities,
at 102 s to 105 s ; good second-rate descriptions froin 96s
to 100 s, were also in good request : but stale and inferior
kinds, although offering at tempting prices, were diffi-
cult to sell; very little was done at the close of the week.
