LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 24.
The sales of Beef for the week have been limited, without
alteration in price. Pork maintains former rates, but the de-
mand is scarcely so active; some new western has arrived, but
not yet landed. The demand for Bacon has been rather slow,
the retailers finding it difficult to advance their prices.
.Name
are easier to buy Is. to 2s. per cwt. No shoulders yet landed :
a considerable parcel has been sold to arrive, at a long price.
lyfull prices there continues a moderate demand for Lard, the
sales being to an average extent, and holders very firm. In
Butter the slightly improved feeling of last week has been lost,
and sales are effected with difficulty, and only at lower prices.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, Arm, N.
The business of the week has been of quite a retail character
in every article; any alteration in the prices of Wheat and
Flour has been' towards a decline, but the value of all other
articles is maintained. The transactions of our market to-day
are merely for the supply of present wants. Some descriptions
of Wheat may be bought on rather lower terms. Flour is Gd.
to ls. per sack and barrel cheaper on all qualities where sales
are made, though nominally held for former rates. For other
aticles there is a moderate sale for consumption at late prices.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, APRIL 26.
We had only a poor show of English Wheat at our Corn-
Exchange this morning, the demand for which was by no
means active; but the extreme rates of this day se'nnight were
established. All descriptions of foreign were in limited re-
-pst, at our quotations. Flour sells slowly, at the above cur-

fency-. Deans being very scarce, in a retail way, the turn
higher. Fine heavy Oats are wanted, and such would command
id. per bushel over last week's currency. Farmers' Oatmeal
6d. per load dearer. Irish, in fairrequest. and the late advance
fully maintained. No change in other articles.

•
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, APRIL 25.
A change of wind has brought all the coasting vessels to
hand, and during the week there has been a fair arrival of
foreign ships at -Goole. The supply of Wheat is large this
morning, but the prices are well sustained, which is to be attri-
buted to the firmness of shippers, the quantity brought for-
ward in the agricultural districts being still moderate. We
quote no material variation from the rates of last week. Bar-
ley is scarce, and any fine quality is readily taken off by malt-
sters at full prices. Oats and Shelling steady. Beans without
alteration.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, APRIL 26.
There has been a small show of Wheat here to-day, and prices
nearly Is. per qr. lower for all but the best qualities. Oats and
Beans each Is. per qr. higher.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET, Aram 26.
There was only a moderate supply of Wheat to-day from the
farmers, which was cleared off early, on terms fully equal to
last Saturday. The arrivals of Wheat coastwise, and from
abroad, are rather large, but a great proportion having been
disposed of in the early part of the week, there was no pres-
sure of samples on offer this morning, still the trade conti-
nues to rule as inactive as reported for sometime past; holders
were not disposed to yield in price, consequently very little
business resulted ; and for all descriptions of quality prices
must be quoted nominally the same as on this day se'nnight.
The sale for Malting Barley is quite limited, as the season is
drawing near a close, and prices are without alteration. In
the valve of grinding qualities no change. Pease and Beans
as last quoted. The arrivals of Oats are quite trifling; good
qualities of English and Scoteli are 6d. to Is. per qr. higher.
Foreign more enquired for, at a slight advance. Flour a dull
sale, owing to heavy supplies, but not cheaper—for the best
marks of south country.

BELFAST CORN MARKET, APRIL 25.
At this day's market supplies of home produce very light.—
Wheat: no change in the value of home grown; foreign held
firmly at the quotations of last week, say Polish red prime,
48 9s. 6d. ; French red, 49 ss. to 49 15s. ; Dantzic, 410 to
410 108. ; Egyptian, 46 ss. to 46 15s.—Oats in good demand,
at rather better rates.—Oatmeal wanted, and 2d. to 3d. advance
paid.—Flour dull of sale; French forcing at 30s. to 325. per
2801135. for fair qualities.—lndian corn a steady sale at last
week's rates ; but not very brisk, country and town buyers
being in stock for the present.

CORK CORN MARKET, APRIL 26.
Our market has varied very little in the value of Flour or
Grain this week. There is a good consumption, and Egyptian
Wheat still meets with increasing favour, and to a large amount
displaces coarse Flour and Indian Corn. The large arrivals at
Queenstown produced no sensible effect on the market, and
are for the most part already distributed to their various des-
tinations for consumption.

mule and water twist, in the bundle, which has induced opera--
tions of fair amount on the part of individual shippers, though
not of any considerable number. Yarns for home conaump-
fion, particularly cops, hare suffered in a somewhat greater
degree, and without leading to business. Nearly all descrip-
tions of goods also are lower; 40-inch shirtings showing a
decline of 9d. to Is. per piece from the highest quotations of
four or five weeks ago. Printing cloths, which were before
relatively low, have not yielded in the same degree. Under
present circumstances, there is, as might be expected, much
irregularity amongst the sellers of yarns and goods as to the
prices they are willing to accept. The fine weather is bringing
an increase of customers into the warehouses of the home
dealers, which cannot but make itself felt amongst the manu-
facturers, should confidence in prices be in any degree restored.
LEEDS.—A good amount of business has been done in
woollen cloths during the week by the houses in the foreign
trade; but not much for home consumption. Stocks are
slightly on the increase, but prices are firm, and a Quiet.

No business having been transacted on Saturday, the market
opened on Monday, when, there was a good attendance of the
trade, but their purchases. being confined to their immediate
wants, prices were barely supported. On Tuesday, the unex-
pected further excess in the receipts at the American ports
announced by the steamer, caused a.general anxiety to realize,
and the market has since continued in an extremely depressed
state, in which all descriptions have participated.. The decline
from the last quotations has been td. on the common to fair,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 23

The arrivals into t'►is port, during the week ending yester-
day, chiefly consist of a middling supply of Oats from Ireland,
with a moderate quantity of Barley and Malt coastwise, but of
other produce thence we have little to report, and from the
American States 1,132 brls. of Flour only. From France,
Trieste, and Egypt, however, we have to note a fair import of
Wheat, and from the various ports of continental Europe and
Egypt 4,575 qrs. Indian Corn, with 5,893 qrs. of Egyptian
Beans, and 13,493 sacks of French Flour.
Our market this morning was well attended by town and
country buyers, who continued to act with the same degree of
caution as of late, and the business done in Wheat was upon a
very moderate scale, and even the finest qualities were easier
to purchase, and most other kinds Id. to 2d. per 701bs. cheaper
than on this day week.

Flour extremely dull, at a decline of 6d. to Is. per sack and
6d, per barrel._ _ _

Barley and Malt were held on the terms last noted, and in
moderate request.
The general runs of Beans were unaltered in value, but
Egyptians were 6d. per quarter lower, and offered more freely
then hitherto. Pease unvaried.

Oats were the turn dearer, and Oatmeal more saleable at
an advance of 6d. per load. _ _

Indian Corn was taken off rather less freely than last week
but maintained the rates of Tuesday last.

APRIL 25

Uninteresting as the Corn trade has been in nearly all the
British markets for a long time past, nothing seems to have
occurred, so far during the present week, as to be in any wise
capable of invigorating the proceedings of buyers, who ap-
pear, from the liberal stocks of foreign produce in this
country, to evince a want of confidence in future prices; and
in contemplation of further ample supplies from abroad, con-
tinue to limit their operations within the narrow bounds of
their immediate necessities, thus imparting to the leading
branches of the trade a very uncertain and

• Hitizuurent aspect.
In most cases, therefore, Wheat, Flour, and even Barley are
reported to be farther depressed in value, Oats and Beans re-
maining unvaried. In Ireland, however, the large consump-
tion and continual need of fresh importations, keep the mai-
kets there more firm and equal than on this side the water.
Induced by the present heat of the weather and the doubts
entertained of its keeping in condition, importers of American
Flour have recently shown a greater desire to sell than usual,
and in the course of yesterday and this morning nearly 20,010
barrels are reported to have been forced off at a decline of Is.
per barrel from the annexed rates of Tuesday, forming the
only important features in the trade here either during tl'
week or at our market to-day; French Flop-

offered with little effect at a similar decline.
The Wheat trade was also extremely dull this morning, and
the middle qualities of both English and Foreign were'deci.
