CORN MARKETS.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 2.—We have bad an unusually thin
attendance at our market to-day, with very little business

passing,

PRESTON. APRIL 2.—There was only a small supply of
English Wheat at our market to-day, which was soon cleared
at full prices; and there was some inquiry for Scotch, at our
quotations. Foreign as before. No change, as regards Flour.
Seed Oats scarce, and in good request; all other descriptions
unaltered. Oatmeal held with more confidence, but the demand
is not active, and our previous currency cannot be exceeded.
Other articles as before.

WAKEFIELD, APRIL I.—Supplies moderate to-day; owing
to the scarcity of fine fresh Wheat more money generally
demanded, but trade being only slow, late prices have to be
taken to effect sales. Fine Barley sells at former terms ; other
qualities continue very unsaleable. Oats and Shelling steady.
Beans in limited demand, and have receded in value.

Tvg.wc;AnTLE-urox-TvITE, Arr.lx, fl. Thor* vet,c to day
a very small supply of country Wheat, and farmers realized an
advance of is to 2s per quarter. There was also more demand
for south country and foreign Wheat, and the sales made were
slightly in favour of the seller, but not much business doing.
Barley continues scarce, and in fair request, at former rates.
Pease and Beans a retail trade, and prices unaltered. Moderate
supply of Oats, and a very inanimate, slow sale, at barely
former prices.

WISBECH, APRIL 2.—We have a small market to-day.
Wheat found buyers at a slight reduction for the best samples;
common qualities are is per quarter lower. Oats and Beans
maintain their former value.

CORK, APRIL 2. The weather is seasonable, frequent
showers with mild temperature. Our imports this week are
large, 11,330 quarters Wheat, and 9,600 quarters Indian Corn.
Foreign Wheat difficult to sell, and the turn lower for prime
samples ; secondary and heated parcels neglected. Indian
Corn in good consumptive demand. Oats, free on board, held
to high to admit of transactions.
DUBLIN, APRIL I.—We do not alter our quotations of
Tuesday for any description of grain, but the market to-day
was, on the whole, firmer, and prices of Oats and Barley were
rather in favour of the seller.

CATTLE MARKETS

SALFORD, MARCH 30.—The number of Beasts larger, and
of very good quality in general, from 5.-td to 611, and a few left
at the close. The number of Sheep much the same as last
week, from 7d to 9id ; and shorn Sheep 6d to 60, and mostly
all sold. Calves, 6d to 6d.—Number of Beasts, 1,632; Sheep,
3,586;. Calves, 340.
DUBLIN, MARCH 31.—The supply to-day was a short one,
buyers' and sellers' attention being engaged at the Cattle Show
now holding. We repeat former prices, viz. :-6id to 72d to 8d
per lb., in sink for Mutton, and 50s to 55s to 56s per cwt. for
Beef. We thought there was much less desire to purchase at
these prices than heretofore, and that purchasers were looking
forward to get meat at a lower figure. Veal commanded 7ld to
73d per lb., and grass Lambs 20s to 24s each. Pork was rather
lower-37s to 39s per cwt., and 40s for picked kinds. The
qualities were but half-finished, although a fair supply.
