MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, MAY 10.
A degree of confidence has been observable during the past
woe:, and more inclination has been shown for business in
every article in the trade. A reference to the list of Liverool
arrivals will show a remarkable paucity in the supply of ho
grown produce, whilst that of foreign (partly, perhaps, in
consequence of the prevalence of contrary winds) is very light
to what it has been. Considerable steadiness is observed in
the agricultural markets. The low price at which American
flour has been selling in Liverpool has attracted buyers, and
the tone of the market yesterday was decidedly better: the
same may also be said of Wakefield. Notwithstanding a flat
report from London, our market to-day presents a firmer
aspect than of late. Fresh wheats and the best qualities of
English flour cannot be bought so well as on this day week,
though we do not quote any established advance. Old lots of
both are difficult of &ale. French flour moves off steadil) at
full prices, and we doubt not that the preference shown for
this article arises in some degree from the absence of trouble
as to sacks. Oats and oatmeal are scarce: the former Id. per
bushel, the latter 6d. per load dearer. English beans are held
for full prices, and attention is more attracted to Egyptian,
which are 6d. per quarter higher. With every appearance of
approaching rain during the week, we have had only a light
flying shower occasionally. To-day we have warm sun with
drying east wind; moisture begins to be much wanted.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, MAY 10.
We lad a dull supply of English Wheat at our market to.
day, the demand for which was tolerably active at extreme
rates, and foreign supported our last currency. Flour 6d. per
sack higher. Beans as before. Oats in request at a further
advance of Id. to 2d. per bushel ; prime qualities up to 35.,
fair 2s. gd. to 2s. Ild. per 451bs. Oatmeal continuing in short
supply, and the sale pretty free, this article must be noted 6d.
to ls. per load dearer, prices varying from 235. 6d. to 255. 6d.
per 2401 b.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 9.
The arrivals this week are good of Wheat and Barley, and
only small of other articles. Wheat is held with considerably
more firmness, and fresh samples are fully as well sold, but the
demand continues restricted to immediate wants. Barley is
now less inquired for, and is sold rather cheaper. Oats and
Shelling* are yet scarce, and fully as dear. In Beans no alte-
ration, but more offering.

WISCH ORN
own MAY 10.
A fair quantity oE W f hCeat s n onrmarket this day, with
a good disposition to purchase at an advance of full Is. per qr.,
and in selected samples rather a greater improvement has
taken place. Beans and Oats steady.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET, MAY 10.
A beneficial change in the weather has at length taken place;
the last few days we have had a fine drying wind. There was a
fair supply •f farmers' wheat brought forward this morning,
for the season of the year; but the demand proving good, it
was disposed of early, at rather over last Saturday's rates. The
arrivals coastwise are mere nothing; and from abroad only to
a moderate extent: the best runs of Baltic wheat met a free
sale, at rather over late rates; whilst other sorts brought full
prices, and the market closed with a firmer aspect than for
some time past. Malting barley a limited sale. and prices are
nominally as last quoted. Grinding more in request, but no
advance. Oats are getting scarce; parcels in granary are held
for an advance of Is. per quarter. In other grain no change.
Flour in better demand, and choice marks 6d. per sack dearer.

BELFAST CORN MARKET, MAY
A slow sale in Wheat, at last week's rates. The 9.
coarser kind
of Foreign alone met attention; as the large supply of French
Flour renders home-made Flour of fine qualities exceedingly
difficult of sale. Oats in brisk demand, at an advance of 3d.
to 4d. per 1121bs. on the week. A very good sale took place in
Oatmeal, at an advance corresponding with that in Oats.
£ll5B. was paid for some lots of prime quality. Flour quite
dull. Coarse qualities in most demand. Egyptian good quality
sells well at about £9 per ton. Indian Corn was in good de-
mand. At auction to-day, 250 tons of yellow of fair quality
were sold at al ss. ; and the competition was quite spirited.
Galatz £7los. to al 12s. 6d. White French £7los. to 15s.
No American white on sale.

CORK CORN MARKET, MAY 10.
Stocks in the bands of consumers being light, a steady con-
sumptive demand continues on all kinds of Flour and Wheat
at last week's prices, Indian Corn is in short supply, and
2s. 6d. per ton advance is paid by necessitous buyers.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MAI( 6.
Cows, 1470 ; Sheep, 5124 ; Calves, 473. The best Beef was
sold at 54d., and of this class the whole was sold. Strong and
heavy articles, from 44d. to sd. Cows, 3d. to 4d. The market
for Sheep rather heavy. Best wethers in wool, 6id. ; heavy
ditto, 6d. to 61d. ; strong clipped Sheep, sd. to to 54d. The
best Veal, of which there was a very scanty supply, made
of
;
inferior, 4ad. to sd. A heavy show of young Calves of all
descriptions.

DUBLIN CATT L E MARKET. MAY 8.
The market to-day was rather a small one, without any ma-
terial change in prices. Beef being 38s. to 428., and for very
prime, 448. to 455. per cwt. ; Mutton, sd. to 6d. per lb. ; Veal,
7d. to 70. per lb. in sink; Lambs, 14s. to 265. each. The Pig
market had a full attendance—prices for heavy kinds 395. to
405. The demand for export, however, was not quite so brisk
as this day week. In stock the attendance of young Cattle and
Cows were nut numerous, owing to the recent Ballinasloe fair,
with prices downwards.
