MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 28.

There has been a fair inquiry for barrel Flour during the
week, at the rates of our last : very little doing in other articles,
and prices irregular and uncertain.
At Wakefield and Liverpool yesterday, there was no par-
ticular change. _ _ _

Our market to-day shows little activity. Fresh parcels of
States and Canadian Flour meet steady sale at former prices.
Little or no fresh sack Flour offering. Stale of all descriptions
is quite neglected. Best fresh Wheats nearly maintain late
rates. _ _

In other articles very little doing, and no particular change
in prices.

HULL CORN MARKET, AUG. 24.

We had a very good supply of both old and new Wheat from
the farmers; millers were very shy buyers. and but little busi-
ness passed at a reduction of 4s. per quarter. The quality of
the new was more various than last year, weights from 61 to 63
pounds. One parcel of beautiful white, weighing 641b5., was
sold at 575. 6d. per quarter. More disposition to sell foreign,
but there were no buyers. In Barley nothing doing, but new
will be in full request when brought to market. The quality
will be excellent. Oats are offering freely ; the Archangel ship-
ments are dropping in, and where parties must sell low prices
have to be taken. In Beans and Peas nothing doing beyond
the merest retail. Arrivals of Rye Meal increase, and a good
deal is now on the market. Irregular prices are taken, but the
article is getting so extensively known, and its value for all
feeding purposes (the Rye, from being stowed, having in a great
measure lost its scouring qualities) so fully appreciated, we do
not anticipate much alteration in value for some time. We
look for its interfering a good deal with other articles of food ;
nothing can be cheaper or more nutritious.
