MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 22,

The excitement which we had to report in our last advices
has somewhat moderated (luring the past week, but as the trade
have not had an opportunity of getting into anything more than
a week or two's stock of Wheat or Flour; we have had a steady
sale for these articles at rather advancing prices. Oats have
not been so much inquired for, but both this grain and Meal is
held with much confidence at very full rates. At Wakefield and
Liverpool yesterday prices were again higher and the supplies
limited. At this day's market we had but little doing in the
trade ; the weather, having become wet and cold during the last
three days, increased the confidence of holders, and all articles
were held firmly for more money which checked business. We
increase the quotation of Wheat 4d per bushel, and Flour 2s to
3s per sack; Oats Id to 2d per bushel; Beans Is per quarter;
and Oatmeal and Malt Is per load.
