MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 17.
With a moderate consumptive sate during the week, the
prices of our last for Wheat and Flour have been fully sap-
ported ; other articles have not varied in value. To-day, with-
out any activity of demand, we have a steady sale for Wheat
and Flour at full prices, and in some cases a small advance is
obtainable. In other articles but little is passing, and prices
are unchanged.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. DEC. 17.
The large arrival of Wheat rather checks the upward tendency
of this article to-day, yet there is a good consumptive demand,
and on the best conditioned samples we note an improvement
,of Is. per quarter; whilst other descriptions fully maintain their
late value. Barley is not so plentiful as of late, and makes Is.
more than last week. Oats and Shelling in very limited request
and rather easier. Beans remain as last stated.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, DEC. 15.
During the present week we have not had much doing in
Wheat, at an advance of Is. to 2s. qer quarter. Malting Barley
held for a similar improvement. Beans and Oats dull, and ra-
ther lower. At Wolverhampton this day good samples of Eng-
lish Wheat realized an advance of 2d. to 3d. per bushel, 21s. 6d.
per 9 sc. 10113 s. being the current rates.
