woollens there has been very little doing for several weeks
past, and the prospect of a demand in that branch seems
as distant as ever. The wool trade is very flat, and during
the week the staplers have complained of a want of
business.

CORN.
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 11.-At this morning's market
we had a numerous attendance, amongst whom were seve-
ral extensive millers from distant parts of the country ;
the trade opened briskly, an active inquiry continuing to
the close, and large transactions were made in wheat, the
depression noted on Friday last being nearly recovered,
so that we reduce our quotations but little from those of
this day week ; the sales were almost entirely to consu-
mers. We have also had a healthy large demand for
flour, much of which was for the country ; 38s. per barrel
was the extreme closing rate for choice Baltimore brands,
and other descriptions in proportion, as quoted below.
Barley quiet, without change of value. Egyptian beans
commanded Is. per qr. advance, and other kinds, with a
better inquiry, are somewhat dearer. Oats and oatmeal
are in good request, the former at W. per bushel improve-
ment, and the latter at full prices. Indian corn, fine qua-
lities of which are scarce, is taken to a fair extent upon
Irish orders, at our extreme currencies.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 13.—Sellers evinced much
firmness, and towards the close of the market wheat and
flour were in active request at an advance of 6d per bushel
and is per barrel respectively. English flour, however,
being comparatively dearer than American, did not parti-
cipate in this improvement. Oats were likewise Id to 2d
per bushel higher, and barley 3d.

PRESTON, APRIL 15.—The supply of English wheat,
at our Corn Exchange, this morning:, was insignificant ;
but previous rates being high, a further advance was not
attainable. From granary, the demand for all descrip-
tions was a little more active, without much change from
the last currency. Sack flour dull. American and Cana-
dian declined 6d per barrel in the early part of the week,
and being relatively cheaper than wheat, brought in
buyers to a fair amount, prices closing firm. No change
as regards oats. Oatmeal held with firmness • but being
less sought after, quotations are little more than nominal.
WAKEFIELD, APRIL 14.—There is a very short
supply of grain reported this week. Our market being
held off the usual day, we have only a thin attendance of
buyers, and the business done is limited. Wheat fully
maintains the prices of last Friday, fresh parcels being
more in request. Barley slow sale, at lower rates. Beans
fully as dear. Oats creep up in value, and shelling is is
per load higher. Arrivals: Wheat, 3,134; barley, 560;
oats, 33; beans, 677; peas, 9; shelling, 180; flour, 60.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 15.—Our farmers
brought a fair supply of wheat to market this morning,
which was sold at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter
over the prices of this day se'nnight. A fair amount of
business was clone in south country and foreign, at fully
the rates of last Saturday. No material change in the
value of barley, but the turn in favour of the seller. Oats
in good supply and is to 2s per quarter dearer. Flour in
moderate demand at late prices.
WISBECH, APRIL 15.—We have a fair show of wheat
to-day, and the prices of last week are rather exceeded
for all fresh qualities. Granaried parcels meet a slow sale
at former rates. Beans and oats fully as dear.
CORK, APRIL 15.—The market this week in general
has been very inactive ; in the absence of buyers the
prices of wheat and flour remain nominally as before.
quoted. Indian corn receded 2s 6d per ton.
DUBLIN, APRIL 13.—1 n consequence of Good Friday,
the corn market was held on Thursday, but as usual,
when out of course, it was scarcely aetended, and we
repeat our quotations of Tuesday for everything.
