tWISBECH CORN MARKET, MARCH 11.
. We{ have a moderate show of Wheat, but by no means a
large,one. Wheat of all descriptions readily makes ls. to 2s.
more than last week. Beans, no alteration. There is a better
feelizig in the Oat trade, and prices are fully supported. Prices
to the grower:—Wheat, new white' 60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 475. to
50s. ; extra; 545. per quarter. Wheat, new red, 601bs. to 63 lbs.,
465. to 495. ; extra, 51s. per quarter. Oats, 103 d. to lld. per
stone. Beans, new, 65 lbs. to 061 lbs., 345. to 375. per quarter.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

MARCH 11

Our supplies by water this week are trifling, except of Flour
from the coast and Oats from abroad. Of Wheat of home
growth there was to-day a fair number of samples, and the mil-
lers being very bare of stock, bought freely, at about Is. per qr.
above the currency of last Saturday. Good foreign Wheat is
becoming very scarce, and there was a better demand both for
'meets on the spot and to arrive. Barley met a very languid
sale. Pease and Beans were unsaleable at almost any price.
Oats being plentiful, and two or three lots offering, ex shin, the
rates of last week could not be maintained. Northumberland
red wheat, 48s. to 535.; ditto white, 50s. to 545.; Norfolk
household Flour, per sack, 375. to 38s.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Mulct' 11,
The week's business has been of a steady character, at prices
rather tending upwards. Supplies are moderate from all quar-
ters. To-day we have a moderate business doing in •each arti-
cle, and we consider the improvement in value since this day
week to be 3d. per bushel on Wheat, ld. on Oats, 64. to ls. per
sack and barrel on Flour, 6d. per load on Oatmeal, and •ls. to
2s. per quarter on Indian Corn. In other artieles there is no
alteration. Duty is now 7s. per qr. upon Wheat, and 4s. 3d.
per barrel or 6s. 3d. per sack upon Flour; in other respects it
is unchanged.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 11.
We have only moderate arrivals. There is a good inquiry for
Wheat, and an advance of Is. to 2s. is required, which some-
what checks business, yet the market closes firm. Barley is
difficult to sell at last week's prices. Oats areid. per st. higher,
and Shelling makes Is. per load more money. In Beans no
alteration.

WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, MARCH 7.

.. , LEEDS CORN MARKET, MARCH 7. •
The arrival of Wheat was rather short to-day, but of other
articles pretty good. There was a good demand for Wheat at
fully
.11s. per. qr.. advance. Barley sold slowly at late rates. Oats
id: pert. dearer. In Beans no alteration.

HULL CORN MARKET, MARCH 7.
We had for this day's market another good supply of Wheat
from our own growers, most of whom were holding for an ad-
vance upon last week's prices. Millers were not very free to
comply, and a good many samples consequently taken home.
The sales made were at full last week's prices. and in some
cases a little more. The above remarks, as to foreign Wheat,
apply to the business of today. More transrctions took place
yesterday than to-day; -holders trying' for higher prices than
millert are' disposed to give.. The • sales made were at 50s. for
best runs of Hamburg red. Oats are somewhat firmer without
any positive advance being obtained. There are no more Egyp-
tian• Beans at the extreme low prices of last week, but new fo-
reign are still obtainable at the prices then noted. Peas remain
very dull. Small Tares still a drug, but large ones in more re-,
quest.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 8.
During the present week there has been a good demand for
English Wheat and the prices of last week were rather exceeded
in a few instances. Malting Barley a more free sale, and quite
as dear; in grinding little doing. Beans held for an advance
of Is. to Is. 6d. per quarter, which checked the sale. Oats sup-
ported their value.

DUBLIN CORN MARKET, MARCH 10.
We have no alteration to report in prices at our market to-
day. The supply was only moderate, and the market generally
was very dull.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 8.
We had a good show of Beasts to-day, and the quality lair.
There was no change in the value of Beef, but Mutton, from its
extreme scarceness, was .Id. per lb. higher. All sold up.

WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 8.
We had a fair supply of stock at market this morning, with
a good attendance of buyers, yet the market was heavy, and
part remained unsold. Beef, 7s. to 7s. 6d. per stone; Mutton
7id. to 71d. per lb. Beasts, 520. Sheep, 4900. We had a large
supply of lean cattle and calvers, but not many sold.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. MARCH 9.
Being the first market day in Lent, the supplies were, as cus-
tomary, smaller than usual of both Beef, Mutton, Veal, and
Pork. Nothwithstanding, there was but little doing, and dull
sales. Beet 465. to 545., very prime 565. per cwt.; Mutton,
6d. to W. per lb—sales also less; Veal, 7d. to Bd. per lb. ; and
Pork, 51.1.; say from 465. to 500 per cwt., being a rise of 2s. per
cwt. during the week. The number of Pigs has decreased very
much of late at our markets, particularly those any way in good
condition.
