NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

MARCH 18,

• This week, we have to report very few arrivals from the
coast, aria none from abroad. To-day, there was only a mo-
derate show of Farmers' Wheat, and the demand being good,
choice samples fetched about Is. per quarter more money.
Fine Foreign Wheat was enquired after, but very little offering.
Barley and Rye in limited request. Pease and Beans unsale-
able. Oats plentiful, but there being few buyers, nothing like
a chance could be effected, and prices were the turn cheaper.
Wheat, Northumberland red, 48s. to 545. ; Ditto, white, 50s. to
555. Norfolk Households, per sack, 375. to 38s.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, MARCH 18.
There has been a great deal of rain since our last market
day, which has prevented thrashing. Nevertheless, we have a
fair quantity of Wheat showing to-day, but generally in poor
condition. All sorts are slow sale, at a reduction of Is. per
quarter. Oats rather higher. Beans dull sale. Prices to the
grower:—Wheat, new white, 60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 475. to 50s. ;
extra, Ms. per quarter. Wheat, new red, 60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 465.
to 495.; extra, 51s. per quarter. Oats, 10}d. to 11d. per stone.
Beans, new, 65 lbs. to 66i Ins., 345. to 375. per quarter.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 18.
Neither in this nor the neighbouring markets has any parti-
cular change taken place during the last week ; the trade has
been quiet at late rates. The same description is applicable to
this day's business at our Corn Exchange; the transactions in
each article being of limited extent at the prices of our last, ex-
cept as regards Beans and Indian Corn, which are both Is. per
quarter cheaper.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 17.
This week we have good arrivals of Wheat and Barley, and
moderate of other articles. The trade is slow for Wheat at last
week's prices. Barley extremely bad to sell at a decline of Is.
per qr. Oats and Shelling without change in value. Beans
are again Is. per qr. lower.

LEEDS. CORN MARKET. MARCH 14.
We had only a moderate supply of Frain to-day. Wheat was
held firmly for Is. per qr. advance, with which millers have to
comply. Barley moves off at last week's rates. Oats fully as
dear. Beans rather cheaper.

HULL CORN MARKET, MARCH 14.
At to-day's market we had a good supply of home-grown
Wheat, and also of new foreign ; the latter was sold for an ad-
vance npon the above prices, and 528. was paid, but the en-
hanced price checked business. Farmers' Wheat saleable at Is.
advance. Barley is scarce; good Malting is. dearer. There
are several small cargoes of new foreign Oats on the market,
price about 235. to 245., as to quality. New foreign Beans are
offering more plentifully, and coming on a dull market must be
written Is. to 2s. lower. Good new sold at Ms. An exceed:
ingly dull sale for all description of Peas. We are supplied
with tares both large and small; the former very fine.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 15.
During the present week, the sales reported in Wheat are
to a limited extent, holders asking more matey, which millers
declined to grant. Malting Barley in more demand, and fine
qualities is. per qr. dearer. Beans and Oats maintained their
value.

DUBLIN CORN MARKET, MARCH 17.
There was a very small supply of all kinds of Grain at mar-
ket to-day, and in the few transactions which occurred, the
prices of Tuesday were fully maintained.

•
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH
15.
We had a good show of Beasts to.day, fully equal to the wants
of the buyers, and Beef was unchanged in value. Mutton was
exceedingly scarce and dear, and prime fetched fully 74d. per
pound.

LEEDS FORTNIGHT CATTLE FAIR, MARCH 15.
We had a fair supply of Beasts at market to-day, which was
well attended, but the sales effected proceeded slowly, which
caused part to remain unsold. In the sheep market there was
an average quantity of stock, with (lull sale, and part remained
unsold. The best Beef averaged Bs. • inferior, 7s. per Nibs.
Mutton, 61d. to 70. per lb. beasts, 360. Sheep, 2,700.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. MARCH 16.
The Liverpool and Manchester accounts of Monday and
Tuesday, as well as the brisk small market of the previous
week, brought forward a large number of cattle to-day, and
even more Sheep—to obtain sales for which a reduction of 12s.
to 15s. a head, and in some instances its. took place on cattle,
and id. per lb. on Mutton ; this, however, applied to coarse
and ordinary kinds less than prime. Beef rating from 425. to
535. per cwt., prime 535. to 555., and Mutton sid. to 7d. per
lb. ' • Veal, 7id. per lb., sinking offal ; Lambs, 20s. to 245. each,
but scarce; Pigs very brisk, at from 455. to 50s. per cwt.;
otherwise the market was dull and heavy, and closed late.
