MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER 2.
The general trade of the week has been very inactive, but we
hear that some considerable parcels of Flour have been taken
off, rather as a speculation than for the supply of consumption.
At Liverpool large supplies continue to pour in, but at yester-
day's market some degree of firmness was observable, and as
regarded bonded Wheat and Flour, there was a disposition to
purchase on speculation. At Wakefield, though some reduc-
tion was submitted to, any attempt to force still further decline
was resisted. Of our market to-day, it may be observed that,
without much disposition to buy, there is less anxiety to force
sales; this remark applies to every article. We reduce our
quotations for Wheat 3d. per bushel, Flour Is. per sack, Oats
Id. to 2d. per bushel, Oatmeal 6d. per load, and Indian Corn
2s. per quarter; beyond which holders do not appear disposed
to give way,

with the decline on English ; but our quotations are merely
nominal, as it is impossible to effect sales. Flour Is. per pack

per barrel, and Indian Meal Is. per load cheaper. Very little

meal continues to be pressed upon the market, and, beyond
the immediate requirements of the trade, is most difficult to
quit, although offered at a further reduction of Is. 3d. per load.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
DECEMBER 2.

The arrivals of Grain into this port during the week, coast-
wise and foreign, have been very large, as also a heavy arrival
of South Country Flour. The supply of Wheat from the
farmers was not large, and great dulness and depression exists
in the trade. English Wheat was only in moderate request at
