WISBECH CORN MARKET, FEB. 23

At this day's market there has been only a moderate show of
Wheat, which in most cases barely maintained last week's
rates ; only a few sharp dry samples obtained full prices.
Beans and Oats bought on rather better terms. The trade on
the whole is dull.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

FEBRUARY 23

From the farmers there was again a liberal supply of Wheat
to this day's market, and the arrivals coastwise during the
week were also to a fair amount. The demand continues to
rule dull, and there is no life in the trade, millers confining
their purchases entirely for immediate consumption, and prices
may be quoted much about the same as on this day se'rinight,
for all descriptions of quality. Malting Barley in plentiful
supply, and the sale rules slow at former rates. In Grinding
not much passing, and the value remains unaltered. Oats in
large supply coastwise, and also-from:the country; the sale
rules heavy, although not much change can be reported in the
value of good quality. In Peans, Beans, and Rye, scarcely

BELFAST CORN MARKET, FRB

The trade this week in home produce has been generally fair,
and fun prices have been maintained. Wheat has experienced
little change, but was firmly held. Flour continues dull for all
kinds. Barley unchanged. Oats sold freely, at late rates.

Oatmeal was not active, but firm. Indian Corn remains very
dull, and we quote about 2s. 6d. per ton under last week's
price:. Say prime White, .e 7 ss. ; prime Yellow, .e 6 12s. 6d.
At this day's market all articles of home produce were in brisk
demand, and supplies being small Wheat and Oatmeal advanced
about 3d. per cwt. Indian Corn without any signs of life, at
the quotations.

CORK CORN MARKET. FEB. 23.
Flour meets a steady consumptive sale, for the most part

good inquiry. Indian Corn meets little attention. Foreign
Wheats support last week's rates, with a less active business
doing. To our Grain market the supplies are small, without
change in prices.

DUBLIN CORN MARKET. FEB. 22.
We had a small supply of grain at market to-clay—prices of
uesday were fully supported for all articles, and in some in-

Wheat. Scarcely a transaction in Indian Corn, and we reduce

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. FEB. 21

Our market to-day was a large one, with a tolerable demand
for young stock, but very dull for Beef and Mutton, which were

2s. to 3s:per cwt. lower than last week, and Mutton id. per lb.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—The depression which characterised our
market on Tuesday has rather increased, on the whole, as the
week advanced. The decline in the prices of Yarn, from the
recent highest quotations, may be broadly stated at id. to id.
per lb., except in the finer counts of mule Yarn ; 3d. per piece
in printing cloths, and 3d. to 6d. in shirtings, the better qua-
lities of the latter having yielded the least. This giving way
has not led to any increase of operations, on the part of any
class of buyers, all of whom seemed perplexed with the pre-
sent aspect of the trade, and determined, therefore, to adhere
to that cautious line of conduct which they have latterly pur-
sued. In sto:- tat " '--s

.eating w.. decline has taken place, we are of
course aware, as our practical readers are sure to be, that the
late high rates were, to a great extent, merely nominal,—the
bulk of the business having been effected (as is usually the
case under such circumstances) at various lower steps in the
upward course. The real concession is. after all. but tittle.

ROCHDALE.—There was a very good demand fin* kerseys and
coarse goods on Monday; business in Flannels has been much
the same. Wool market firm at former prices. _
. _

HUDDERSFIELD.-Our market remains much in the same
state as last week; the deliveries to order have been large, but
the supply in the market

LEEDS.—Although the London Wool sales show an advance
of price in the raw material, we cannot notice any corre-
sponding rise in the price of Woollen Cloth in this market.
Manufacturers, indeed, seem willing to submit to lower rates
of remuneration than they formerly did providing they can
keep their machinery constantly employed. Many of them
continue emploped in orders, and the trade is steady in de-
mand, without, as we have said, improvement in prices. _ _ _

BRADFORD.L-WOOL.—The activity in the sales of Colonial
Wool has not induced any increased purchases in English, and
the spinners are now buying on the most limited scale—just
assorting their stocks. The quantity in the market was not so
great as it was two months back ; but at this season the sta-
plers are disposed to quit their stocks, as the loss in weight is
quite equivalent to a small profit. YARNS.—Ttis branch of
the trade, which for some months has continued busy, is not
in the least degree actually duller, for all is taken off as pro-
duced. PIECES.—The demand for goods is quite equal to the
average for the season, and for some descriptions the demand
is quite equal to the supply. Orleans, however, are not so
much sought after as they were some weeks ago. Considerable
orders have been given out by the American merchants, and to
all appearance there is likely to be a large business done from
that quarter during the spring month. Fancy gpods,:suited to
the spring trade, are in great request, but the infinite variety
of style prevents anything taking a very decided lead in either
tissue or pattern.
HALIFAX.—More stiffness just now in the worsted trade, and
merchants are shy of giving orders, appearing to be anxious to
watch the yarn market, which is also more quiet. Spinners
are still full of old contracts ; but the export houses do not
give new orders freely, and seem disposed to wait the regular
shipping season. Wool somewhat inactive; and, if anything,
rather easier.
