MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 27.

Without any particular increase of demand holders have
shown somewhat more firmness during the week. The de-
mand for Indian Corn, Low Flour, and other articles adapted
for shipment to Ireland, has rapidly extended, and must be
large for some time to come. Weather dry and hot.
At Wakefield there was no change yesterday; and at Liver-
pool no decided improvement can he noted on anything, ex-
cept what was suitable for export to Ireland.
To-day, Wheat is steady at last Saturday's prices. Prime
fresh Flour brings an advance of Gd. to Is. per sack, but all
below this standird is difficult of sale. Oats and Oatmeal both
rat her dearer.

The great advance upon Indian Corn puts a stop to the de-
mand here, and throws the consumption more upon Egyptian
Beans, which are Is. per quarter dearer; other descriptions
firm at former rates, as also is Malt.
