Molasses, and 180 casks of Porto Rico have been sold at 19s. 6d.,

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. FEB. 11.

We have a good arrival of Wheat and Barley, and moderate
of other grain. The trade to-day for all articles is slow, and
not much business passing. We reduce our quotations on
Wheat 25., Barley Is., Beans Is. per quarter, and Oats ed. per
stone.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
FEBRUARY 12.

We have this week had large arrivals of Wheat, Barley, and
Flour from the coast. At to-day's market there was a fair sup-
ply of Wheat from the farmers. The millers beidg quite bare
of stock eagerly picked up finer samples at full prices, but infe-
rior and ill-conditioned parcels were neglected, and the turn
cheaper. Some new Hamburg Wheat sold at 565. per quarter,
631bs. per bushel. Barley being in plentiful supply, was not so
dear as last week. For boiling Pease there was some little in-
quiry. Oats must be noted 6d. per qr. lower. In other articles
no change. Northumberland red Wheat, 50s. to 565. ; ditto,
white, 528. to 575. per qr.; Norfolk household Flour, 38s. to
395. per sack.
