FEBRUARY 14

'.There is so little difference in the character of the accounts
received from the different grain markets of the country this
week, compared with the statements-for some time past, as to
be -hardly worth continued coniment,—the general tone of the
advices being dull and desponding. In most instances the
markets are well supplied with both British and Fereign pro-
duce, particularly Wheat, the ill-conditioned and inferior qua-
lities .of which can be almost invariably bought on easier
terms. The want of confidence to purchase more than for im-
mediate necessities appears at present to pervade all districts,
and thus the trade-assumes an attitude of littleness, to which
only a sensible reduction of stocks by means of consumption,
or a diminution for a time in the extent :of Foreign supplies,
seems capable of affording the desired relief. With prices
which leaves a loss upon foreign importations at present, it is
evident a palpable change must take place .ere we can return to
a healthy state ; and it is reasonable to expect the first step to-
wards this will be effec.ed by a reduction in prices abroad.
In all departments of the Corn trade, from the close of our
-last market to this date, the transactions were generally very
unimportant, and prices altogether nominally unvaried.
Having a very slender attendance of country millers at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and our local buyers continuing to ob-
serve the same degree of caution as heretofore, the transactions
in any description of either British or Foreign Whaat were but
moderate in amount, without any quotable change from the
currency of Tuesday last.—States and. Canadian Flour was held
with a rather firmer feeling, and such, as well as French and
Irish, although not readily sold, sustained our last quotations.
The various grades of Barley, Malt, Beans and Peas conti-
nued to rule precisely the same as on Tuesday.—Oats and Oat-'
meal in slow request on the terms last noted.
Having few inquiries from Ireland this morning, Indian
Corn met a limited demand, and barely supported previous
rates.

The weather continuing fine, spring culture around u$ is n
progressing favourably.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEBRUARY 14.
A fair amount of business has been transacted in Beef, at
steady prices for fine sorts, but at rather easier rates for the
ordinary descriptions. A further advance of is, to 2s. per brl.
has been made in old Pork, with a full average business ; and
for two small parcels of new an advance of 2s. per barrel has
been realised. Bacon continues much sought after, the short
spuply, together with the increased value of Butter, fresh Beef,
and Mutton, act favourably on the price of Bacon. Nothing
offering in new liams or Shoulders. Lard has again gone up ,
fully Is. 7d. per cwt., and in the week 50 to 60 tons have been '
sold ; for the little now left still higher rates are asked. Cheese
remains unaltered in value: there is very little fine here, and
ordinary is only a slow sale. A parcel of ordinary American
Butter has been sold, at 40s. to 695. per cwt. Canadian has
advanced 2s. to 4s. per cwt.
