Owing chiefly to more favourable accounts from the East, the
decline of id. per lb. noticed last week in American descrip-
tions has been recovered, and prices close much the same as on
this day fortnight. The market, however, has to-day been very
abundantly supplied, and though the demand has been s -
the above noticed improvement is barely maintained

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. APRIL 5

The market being held off the usual day causes a less attend-
ance, and business consequently limited. The supples are
large of Wheat and Barley, and moderate of other articles.
There is no change to note in the value of Wheat. Barley is
very difficult to dispose of, and Is. per qr. lower. Oats declined
id. per st., and shelling Is. per load. Beans without altera-
tion.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 7.
The,trade has been inactive during the week, and the Liver-
pool and Wakefield markets being held out of their usual
course, presented no particular change. The business done at
our Exchange to-day ►s very limited as regards every article,
and we repeat the currency of our last.
