MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 25.
Independently of fine weather, and the tendency to decline
noticed in our last, this, as is the custom here, has been pretty
much a blank week as regards business. To-day nothing is
doing in any article to call for particular observation. Sellers
of Wheat and Flour do not seem inclined to submit to more
than a small reduction. Oats, Oatmeal, and Beans, are held
firmly at full prices. Indian Corn is in large demand for Ire-
land, where, it seems likely, considerable supplies of this and
other articles will be required, for some time to come.
