CORN MARKETS.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 12.—Our market to-day is thinly
attended ; there is every disposition to meet buyers by conces-
sion in price; but although a reduction of 2d. per 70 lbs. on
Wheat, and Is. to 2s. per sack on Flour would be readily sub-
mitted to, there is no inclination to operate to any extent, and
the business doing is on the most trifling scale. Oats and Oat •
meal are each dull, at a decline of id. to Id. per bushel, and 6d.
per load. We reduce our quotations for Beans 6d. to Is. per
quarter. Malt steady; in other articles no change.
PRESTON, MARCH 12.—There was scarcely any farmers
produce at our Corn Exchange to-day. Wheat met a dragging
sale at barely late rates, and the same may he written of Beans.
Oatmeal was 6d. per load lower. From granary scarcely any-
thing was doing, but we reduce our quotations for Wheat of all
kinds ld. to 2d. per bushel. Flour declined 6d. per pack. Oats
and Oatmeal neglected, at a further abatement of id. per
bushel and 6d. per load respectively ; the above currency being
little more than nominal.

WAKEFIELD, MARCH 11.—There is a fair supply of grain,
but not to the extent buyers anticipated. There is some little
improvement in the demand for Wheat, but it is still of a very
retail character, and prices are Is. per qr. lower. Barley
maintains the full price of last Friday. Beans, Oats, and shel-
ling meet a steady sale, and without change in value.
WISBECH, MARCH 12.—The farmers are not anxious to sell
their Wheat at less than a reduction of Is. per quarter on the
secondary samples ; the condition being so poor that both sel-
lers and buyers are careless of doing business. Beans are 6d.
to Is. per quarter lower. Oats are unaltered in value.
NEWCASTLE UPON-TYNE, MARCH 12.—The weather has
now greatly improved, so much so that out-door work has
already been partially resumed ; and this ensuing week it is
expected to be general, when supplies of Grain from the
farmers, it is calculated, will fall off very materially for some
time to come. At this clay's market there was a very large
delivery of Wheat from the growers; the best samples sold a
a decline of Is., and secondary at 2s. per quarter upon the
prices of last Saturday ; but at this reduction the whole was
readily disposed of. In ship or granaried parcels only a very
limited amount of business was transacted; fine qualities
nearly maintained former rates; but upon all other descrip-
tions, Is. per quarter less money had to be submitted to. There
was very little sale for Malting Barley, our brewers and mals-
fers being well stocked ; and in its value there is no particular
alteration to notice. Beans and Pease being in large supply
from the country, were each Is. per quarter lower. For Oats
there has been little or no demand this week, and they are
freely offered at the recent decline in value. Flour ls. per sack
cheaper, and a very dull sale, owing to the unusual large arrival
from the south—the vessels having been long detained by con-
trary winds.
CORK, MARCH IL—The weather continues most favourable
for agricultural work. Foreign imports consist of 4,910 qrs.
Wheat, and £3,53 qrs. Indian Corn. Farmers deliveries nnim-
portant. The Corn trade remains in the same inactive state
as noticed last week. Sales of Foreign Wheat and Indian Corn
confined to the merest retail, the former Is. per bl., the latter
at 2s. 6d. per ton reduction on the week. In Oats, free on
board, nothing doing.
DUBLIN, MARCH 11.—We had an extremely depressed
market at our Corn-Exchange to-day, and our quotations at
foot only represent small retail transactions ; lower rates
would have been submitted to for every description of grain
if business could have been done.
