CORN.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 19.—We have not so many buyers
to-day, from any considerable distance, as of, late : there
is, however, a fair inquiry for wheats at about 2d per
bushel advance upon Tuesday's currency, prime' qualities
still taking the preference of the demand, middling and
inferior descriptions remaining unimproved in value. The
sale for flour is extensive, that for consumption being
considerable, in addition to many parcels taken to hold
over, prices closing tkl to Is per barrel higher, and
amongst the lots offered, comparatively little of really
choice quality is to be selected. Barley in fair request,
and a trifle dearer. Beans a steady sale at previous rates.
Oats in tolerable demand at unaltered prices. Oatmeal,
upon a good country sale, and some orders for shipment,
is held for rather more money. Indian corn is in active
request, and importers obtain an improvement of is fld
per quarter, most of the prime yellow American being
cleared off the market.

value of beans no material change was observable. •
PRESTON, MAY 20.—There was a fair stipplY of
English wlieat at our market to-day. which was all
readilyelea.'ed 'at 6d to is per u Indic iniproveinent. Irish
and Scotch' iieglected. Foreign held for 2a per bushel

Friday. hi barley and other articles no alteration occurred.

WISBECH, MAT 20.—We hare a' small supply of
wheat ; the farmers asked great prices but at last sub-
mitted to take an advance of is to 2s per quarter for the
best wheat. Oats and beans aro agaiu rather. worse to buy.
.NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAT 20.—We had a
moderate supply of wheat from the country this morning,
which sold for about is per qr. more money than the
pricee of this day week, A similar advance may be not 4

in South country and foreign, but millers acted cautiously,
and the amount of businesg done was not great. No
change in the value of barley. Oats in good supply and
Is. per qr. cheaper. We quote flour Gd to is per sack
dearer, but the trade at this advance is not active.

CORK, MAY 20.—Flour commands a good sale at late
prices, and some choice samples are t3d per cwt. dearer.
Foreign wheats are in good request at an advance on the
week of is per barrel. Indian corn being held for lugher
prices the speculative business has given place to a steady
consumptive demand at full prices.
DUBLIN, MAY 19.—A brisk market, and higher
prices for every description of home-grown grain. The
supply of wheat being trifling, extreme rates were paid
for the few samples which offered. Oats were 3d dearer.
Indian corn met rather an improved demand, at an
advance of is per quarter.

DUBLIN, MAY 18.—The supply of beef was consider-
ably larger than on any day since the great Easter market ;

in very active demand at rates higher than have been
obtained during the season. Mutton in large supply,
principally in fleece, and prime qualities in active demand,
and steady at late currencies ; whilst middling and inferior
were not in request, and prices lower. The rates were—
for beef, 60s to 655, and in some cases 68s per cwt., in
sink ; mutton, 6d to Sd per lb.; lambs, 16s to 29s—top of
the market ; veal, Sid to 9d per lb. Pigs are becoming

demand.
