CORN MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 6.—At our market this morning a few
country millers appeared, and directing some attention to fresh
descriptions of Foreign Wheats, a moderate share of business
was transacted therein, partly at a slight abatement from our
last currencY; our local dealers at the same time remaining
very inactive, and speculative buyers perfectly quiescent. The
demand for Flour, being principally restricted to consumers
upon a limited scale, no important sales were feasible this
morning, and American brands, as well as the general runs of
French and Spanish, though not urgently pressed upon the
market, were the turn cheaper. In Barley, Malt, and Pease uo
change was observable. The general qualities of Beans were
steady at late prices, and Egyptian, being in few hands, and
not plentiful, improved 6d per quarter. Oats, upon a moderate
demand, fully maintained previous rates, and Oatmeal, with
some inquiry for re-shipment to Ireland, closed at a small
amendment in value. The transactions in Indian Corn have
been exceedingly trivial, without change in value, and the only
sales in cargoes have been a few in French at previous rates.

MANCHESTER, MAY 7.—At our market this morning the
best runs of Wheat and fresh-made Flour maintained the cur-
rency of this day se'nnight ; but on other kinds prices were the
turn lower. Oats and Oatmeal were firm at late rates.
PRESTON, MAY 7.—At our corn market to-day there was
only a limited supply of English Wheat, which met rather a
dull sale at last week's prices. Foreign a little more inquired
for. Flour has not maintained the advance noted in our last.
Oats very little sought after. The demand for Irish Oatmeal is
quite of a retail character, but holders are firm at the above
currency. Beans in some instances rather exceeded late rates.
In other articles no change.
WAKEFIELD, MAY 6.—We have only a moderate supply.
For fresh Wheat there is a fair inquiry, and there being but
little of this description offering, last week's price is nearly
obtained; but for other sorts a decline of Is per quarter is
submitted to. Barley maintains its previous value. Beans
rather scarce, and the turn dearer. Oats and Shelling are
without change.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAY 7.—We had a moderate
supply of Wheat from the country this morning, which sold at
fully the rates of last week. In South Country and Foreign a
fair business was transacted, at a reduction of is per quarter
on the rates of this day se'nnight. Most of our malsters having
now stopped working for the season, Barley met a slow sale at
our quotations. Malt finds buyers at late prices. The demand
for Oats was trifling, but we can quote no alteration in value.
The Flour trade still continues in a very languid state, and 33s
per sack is an extreme price for the best marks of households.
WISBECH, MAY 7.—We have a fair show of Wheat here to-
day, and the dull accounts from the consuming markets caused
a reduction of Is per quarter to be submitted to for all sorts.
A small show of Beans, and held firmly for more money. Oats
slow of sale, at about last week's rates.

CORK, MAY 7.—The market this week is very dull. There
has not been a marked change in the value of anything except
Indian Corn, which receded 2s 6d per ton ; but in all trans-
actions the turn is in favour of buyers.

DUBLIN, MAY 6.—Our Corn market to-day was, if possible,
more depressed than that of. Tuesday. There was scarcely the
appearance of business, and every article would have been let
go at reduced rates if buyers had come forward.

CATTLE MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 9.—The market this day was not large,
}et a very heavy and incessant fall of snow, from early morning
till one o'clock, when the business Is generally over, rendered
the business done dull and unprofitable for holders of stock,
and of Lambs in particular, which appeared as if out of their
proper season. Best Heifer Beef made 63d; second quality,
in Bullocks, 51d; Mutton, 71d to Bd, sinking the offal ; and
Lambs from 18s to 27s each. There were 1,341 Beasts, and
5,184 Sheep and Lambs at market.
SALFORD, MAY 4.—The number of Beasts larger, and of
very good quality, from 5d to 61d, and a few left. Sheep very
good, and a few left at the close ; Sheep in wool, 8d to 81d, and
shorn 6d to 7d, and a few left. Lambs 32s and 26s each. Calves
5d to 6d, and all sold up. Number of Beasts, 1,574; Sheep,
4,576 ; Calves, 302.

LEEDS, MAY 4.—The number of Cattle for sale was 80e, the
quality good. Buyers were numerous, but the demand dull.
Prime Beef, 8s 4d ; inferior, 8s per 16 lbs. At the close nearly
all sold. Sheep, 5,000. Prices on the decline. Wool Sheep
70 to 8d ; shorn, 6d per lb. A few left unsold.
DUBLIN, MAY 6.—There was a good supply of Cattle at
market to-day, and of superior finish. Top things sold well,
56s to 58s per cwt., but middling and inferior were 2s to 3s cwt.
lower, varying from 48s to 55s in sink. Sheep were scarce,
owing to the hurry of shearing, and brought former high
prices—in fleece, 7d to 8d to 8d; shorn, 60 to 6td; Veal, 8d
to 80 per lb. Lambs, 18s to 25s each. A number of unfinished
young Calves on sale, from 20s to 50s each; Mitch Cows, .elO
to .4'lB do. The Pig market 2s per cwt. down, from the state
of the English markets—prices 46s to 48s. A large supply of
heavy kinds.
