WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 10.

Fine fresh Wheats being rather scarce, has commanded a free
sale, at an advance of is per quarter, and chambered simples
have sold more freely, upon rather better terms then last week.
Bailey in limited demand, and dull sale. t ats must be noted
id per stone dearer, and Shelling is per load, with an improved
demand for each article. Beans must again be quoted is per
quarter dearer.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 11.
Scanty supplies from all quarters, the continuance of dry
weather, and the general shortness of stock in the hands of
millers, dealers, and bakers, have had their effect upon the
trade, and we have had a steady demand for every article during
the week, at improving prices. Fresh lots of Flour have gone
off at an advance of is to 2s per sack; and though little im-
provement could be establishe't u on warehoused qualities,
they have, if in fa;r condition, go•.e off more freely, and our
stock of this article is now brought into more manageable com-
pass.
We have a firm, steady market to-day. Wheat of all qualities
is Id to 2d per bushel dearer. Flour goes off steadily at the
advance above noted. On, and since Thursday evening, we
have had some showers, which have rather checked the sale of
spring corn; but an advance may be considered as established
upon Oats of Id to 2d per bushel. Oatmeal, without alteration.
The very few Beans offering, bring an improvement of fully is
per quarter.

Malt steady, at late prices, for fine qualities ; secondary and
inferior samples are quite neglected.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 7.

A good Tuesday's business has been done to-day by
consumers, and several speculators have been operating, to
what extent has not vet transpired. The sales will reach
3 or 4000 bales at full market prices.

COTTON MARKET, May 13

The impetus given to our market last week, by which an ad-
-ranee of-.10-ad prr lh urns paid_har boon checked by the accounts
received per Independence as to the receipts in the shipping
ports, and buyers seem disposed to hang on. The sales to-day
are only 3,500 bales, at rather lower pr.ces.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
A large extent of busines4 has been done this week, without
producing any change in the market, beyond a greater degree
of steadiness in prices generally, and an advance of id per lb.
on the middle qualities of American descriptions. Holders
se m to act with more confidence, and from the extent of the
operations on speculation, it may be inferred that opinion leads
to higher rates ; there is not quite so much life in the demand
to-day as in the early part of the week. Speculators have taken
20,20:1 bales of American; exporters 1250 American, and 150
Surat; and the trade 32,740 bales of all kinds. The sales to-
day are estimated at 400,, bales of all descriptions. In our
quotations for Mobile and Alabama and New Orleans we go so
low as aid, in consequence of the extraordinary low quality of
some of the recent import, being scarcely merchantable, and
what is now termed storm cotton.
