MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. JUNE 9.

With a continuance of most favourable weather, every branch
of the trade observes the greatest caution in purchases, which
are restricted to the supply of present wants. To-day the
demand for each article is slow, and confined almost entirely
to the beat samples at about the rates of our last; any change
in prices being in favour of the buyer.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, JUNE 9.
Ws are again without any fresh supplies, but a continuance
of exceedingly fine weather has a depressing influence upon
the corn trade, and the transactions (luring the week have been
as restricted as possible. The few parcels of English Wheat
which appeared at our Corn Exchange today met a tolerably
free sale, at the rates of this day se'nnight, whilst all descrip-
tions from granary remained nominal. Upon a little more
inquiry for Flour our last currency was fully maintained. The
demand for Oats is of a retail character, but they are held
firmly at our quotations. English Oatmeal sold slowly, at late
rates, but Irish manufacture was neglected, though offering on
rather easier terms. Other articles scarcely inquired for.

WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, JUNE 5.
Wheat, 142 qrs., ®t2 3s. 2d. vis, qr. ; total, 4306 9s. 8J

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. JUNE 8.
The arrival of Wheat is small ; yet as millers confine their
dealings to immediate wants, it is equal to the demand, and we
have a steady retail trade at last week's prices. Very little
doing in Oats [mil Shelling, and both rather cheaper. Few
Beans wanted, and Barley now very little inquired for.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JUNE 6.
During the present week we have had a slow trade in Wheat,
at rather less money. No change in Barley or Beans. Oats
6d. per qr. lower.
