WISBECH CORN MARKET, MAY 6.
There has been a fair quantity of Wheat offering to-day, and
in much finer condition ; but the remarkably fine weather has
caused the trade to become exceedingly dull, and at a reduc-
tion of 2s. per quarter the trade was slow, and but little busi-
ness was done in that article. Beans and Oats have got the
turn at last, have become animated, and at an advance of full
Is. per quarter, and in some cases rather more, all the samples
were freely taken. Prices to the grower :—Wheat, new, white,
60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 455. to 48s. ; Extra, 50s. per quarter. Wheat,
new, red, 60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 435. to 455. ; Extra, 475. per quarter.
Oats, 10.1 d. to 111 d. per stone. Beans, new, 66 lbs. to 661 lbs.,
365. to 375. ; Extra, 38s. per quarter.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE,

MAY 6.

Fine weather has had its usual depressing influence during
the week, upon this and the neighbouring markets of Liverpool
and Wakefield ; and the business done has been upon a very
limited scale. At our Corn Exchange this morning, the trans-
actions are confined to retail sales for the supply of present
wants. We reduce our quotations for Wheat 3d. per bushel,
Flour is. per sack, and Indian Corn Is. per quarter. For other
articles former rates are maintained pretty steadily.
