CORN.

' LIVERPOOL, MAY -5.--This morning's market was
well attended, many of the 'buyers coming from a c,onsi-
derabletlistance: In wheat' there was a good steady trade
With country millers chiefly - for all fine qualities, •w'hich
are scarce, the full rates of Tuesday were paid, and we had
more inquiries than of late 'for common descriptions. The
sales orflour were very extensive, and for various direc-
tions in the interior as well -as for shipment, the market
closing generally firmer at 'the quotations of our last.
' Barley scarcely maintains-Tuesday's rates. Beans sell
more'freely at a slight reduction.. Oats rather easier, upon
a retail demand. Oatmed held for more money, being 'in
fair request for the country; rath some further inquirylor
export ; ptime parcels . are 'difficult of selection, at an
advance of 6d.' per load. In-clian corn met a large IfiSh
-.demand ; the market vras• -nearly cleared of what was
offering within the range of our 'quotations of Tuesday,-to
-whiCh the vitae has agaiiiimprored.

MANCHESTER, Ma :sr 4.—Only a InWerate extent of i
business-was transacted at our market to-clay. The best 1
__ ..

_qualities of wheat being searce fetched 2d to 3d per bushel
more money; but other "kinds, on the contrary, were
rather lower. English florin was offered at a•reduction of
is per saek,•and American -at 6d per barrel. Oats and
oatmeal were•rather easier to buy; beans quite as dear,
and very scarce; and other articles as last advised.

PRESTON, 'MAY 6.—At our Corn Exchange to-day,
EngliSh wheat•met a dragging sale at last week's rates.
Beans as before. Scarcely any demand for foreign wheat,
and no change in flour. Beans and oats very littlesought
after. The demand for Irish oatmeal is quite of a retail
character; but this article is generally held for late juices.
;Indian meal is perloadlower. Other articles unchanged.

WAKEFIELD, Way s.—There was a fair show of
.wheat, but the transactions were Bursted, buyers operating
merely for immediate wants. Fine fresh qualities were
'the same in value as 'last week ; 'common descriptions
fully is per qr. lower. Barley, if fresh, was fully as dear.;
other sorts sold slowly athitrely former terms. No alters.-
tionin oats, shelling, or 'beans.—Arrivals : Wheat, 6,017
quarters.

-NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, TSIAY o.—We had a fair
supply of wheat from the growers this morning, which
was cleared off at prices from la to 2s per qt. lower than
those of this day week. The arrivals from the coast and
abroad have been liberal, and a 'reduction of.about is per
qr. marbe•noted for both kinds. Barley in small supply,
grinding sorts may be quoted Is Iter qr. dearor, whilst
limiting sells for fully late prices. Oats in fair supply,
and Gd to is pet qr. dearer. Flour continues a slow sale
at a reduction of is per sack.
WISBECH, MAY 6.—We have really so little doing at
this market in consequence of the shortness of quantity,
that there is some difficulty in quoting the real state of
the trade, and this will now be the case until after harvest.
Our prices for wheat are yet above all consuming market;
and therefore merchants don't care to buy, whilst millers
nearly take off the weekly supply. Best samples is and
inferior 2s per qr. cheaper to:day. Oats and beans sell on
fully as good terms.
CORK, MAY 6.—The sales of flour were very limited
this week, though generally offered at a reduction of -fld
per cwt. Foreign wheat has a fair consumptive demand,
holders making slight concessions to effect sales. Indian
corn goes slowly into use ; prices have receded lOs per ton.

DUBLIN, MIT .s.—There was a small supply of home
grown grain .at our. Corn Exchange to-day, except of oats,
which was large. The market_was generally dull, wheat
and barley scarcely supported the. prices of Tuesday, oats
Were fully M lower, and a large quantity remained unsold.
Searcely anything 'doing in Indian corn.
