WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FEB. 23.
There has been a good attendance of buyers at this day's
market. The Wheat trade has ruled dull, and sales slow, at a
reduction of is to 2s per quarter. Barley is heavy sale a few
select samples sold at a decline of is per qr., but the general
runs must be noted Is to 23 per qr. lower. In Oats, Beans, and
Shellings, ho material alteration.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, FEB. 15.
During the present week, owing to the dull report fi om Mark-
lane. Wheat has been difficult to sell, except at a decline of is
to 2s per qr., but holders generally are not inclined to submit to
this reduction, the country markets at the close of last week
having been dearer. Malting Barley a dull sale, and secondary
parcels rather lower; Grinding in request, at former prices.
Beans and Oats firm.

DUB-1,---IN CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 23
With small supplies we have again to note a heavy market,
and in all descriptions lower prices were submitted to. Both
Flour and Oatmeal are without any material change, but re.
ceipts of Flour are more extensive than heretofore, and the sales
to a limited extent.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 26.
Speculations have absorbed nearly all the business in our
Butter market during the last week, and prices have an upward
tendency. The stock is now so low, tnat we think the currency
will be supported for the remainder of the season. Pickled
Butter is in fair demand, at the late advanced price, of 80s per
cwt- In Beef and Pork there is not much doing ; the market
having become heavy, in consequence of the extremely redun-
dant supply of American stuff. Ship-masters do not, however,
at all approve of the latter, and the prices of Irish Provisions are
upheld.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, FFB. 24.
The disinclination to follow any further advance which we
noticed in our last Circular, has continued during this week,
and the business done has been of the most limited character.
Sellers of Wheat and Flour having previously lightened their
Stocks, do not press sales, nor have we observed much, if any
disposition to aceept lower prices.
Oats and Oatmeal are held pretty steadily : but were buyers
to come forward, some small reduction on the rates of our last
would be submitted to.
. . _ . .

On reference to the list of imports by way of Liverpool and
Runcorn it will be observed, that the arrival of Irish Flour and
Oatmeal are still considerable :—there is also a large import of
Malt. _ _ _

At Wakefield, the supplies of 11 articles are liberal, and the re-
ceipt of Flour here from Yorkshire and the East Country is on
the increase. .

At our market, this morning, the business done is confined to
the supply of present wants, and in no one artic:e is anything
doing to call for particular observation.
_ _

The turn of pi-ices is certainly in favour of the buyer; but
the change is not so decided as to induce us to vary the quo-
tations of our last : which therefore remain without alteration.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEr. FEB. 23.
The transactions this week have been exceedingly moderate,
and as compared with the previous three wee,,s, the aspect of
the market has unquestionably been flat; but still the change
in prices is but trifling, not generally an -11 from the highest
point; but iu very many instances this concession has and must
be made by parties desirous of realizing. Speculators have
taken 4000 bales of American and 500 of Surat; exporters Inn
bales of Surat, and the trade only 12930 bales. There appears
to be very little business doing today; the sales may probably
reach 3000 bales of all kinds, about 700 American on specula-
tion.
