SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 2.

We had another large show of stock this week, but as the
demand seems to increase, and as buyers were very numerous
to-day, the full rates of last week, say 5d to s}d per lb were paid
for both Beef and Mutton of first quality; inferior heavy sale,
and the turn easier. A large quan by of inferior turned out
unsold.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Ocr. 1.

A good supply of Wheat, Oatmeal, and Flour, and a
few parcels of Oats, form the principal arrivals into this
port from Ireland since Tuesday last ; while the receipts
coastwise, with the exception of a fair quantity of Malt,
are still very small, and those of Grain and Flour from
abroad rather inconsiderable.
Our market this morning was well attended by town
and country buyers, but, notwithstanding the firmness
displayed in the leading markets of this district last week,
and the improvement in London yesterday, all descrip-
tions of English, Irish and Foreign old Wheats met a very
limited sale at our Corn-Exchange to-day, barely sup-
porting the prices of this day week ; and Irish new, being
plentitul, and composing the bulk of the supply, was in
slow request at the decline of Friday, the range of prices
varying from 6s. to 6s. 7d. per 701b5., leaving, at the close
of the business, many parcels, even of fine quality, unsold.
English and Irish Flour, being taken less freely, declined
Is. per sack ; and States, together with Canadian, hardly
maintained late prices. Of English Malting Barley a few
parcels have arrived, the value of which is estimated at
about 40s. per qr. In grinding samples or in 11Ialt we
have no change to note. Beans and Pease, upon a mode-
rate demand, continued to realise our last quotations.
Old Oats, the stock here being nearly exhausted, were in
request at an advance of ld. per 451b5.; new, however, of
which several fresh parcels appeared to-day, were deci-
dedly cheaper. Oatmeal receded 6d. to 9d. per load, but
having a tolerable number of country dealers in attend-
ance, the decline was met rather freely, and sales to a
fair extent were effected.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 4.
The impost on Foreign Beans is reduced to 5s Cd per qr., being
the only alteration from the duties of last week.

Since Tuesday, we have received a tolerable supply of Wheat,
Oatmeal and Flour, with a few parcels of Oats from Ireland;
but. except a moderate quantity of Barley and Malt, very little
of anything lits_= tocm-vrrrrt

. anything
Four rrorn Canada, with 1500 qrs. Egyptian Beans, we have no.
thing worth naming fresh in from abroad. The boisterous state
of the weather within this day or two has probably prevented a
larg 'r accession of Irish produce, in anticipation of which our
millers, from Tuesday until to-day, have continued to limit their
purchases of Wheat, and parcels of new have still e perienced a
slight tendency downwards; the trade for moat other articles,
at the same time, proving inactive, with little or no quotable
difference from previous values.
Upon a slender attendance of leading country buyers at this
day's marke-, and our local millers supplying their present
wants rather cautiously, the demand for all sorts of British and
Foreign old Wheat was very limited, on the terms last rioted;
the imp ,rters of Irish, new, however, being more desirous to
effect sales, offered the best qualities at a decline of 2d, and the
damp unprepared samples 3d per 701bs. below the reduced rates
of Tir:sday ; in consequence cf which, a moderate extent of
.business in each of these des riptions was transacted. Sack
Flour, including States and Canadian generally, moved off
rather slowly, but without any material change in value.
Of Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, the sales this morning.
were unimportant, each merely sustaining former prices. Old
Oats, boing still extremely scarce, fully supported the advance
previously noted, whilst all kinds of new were decidedly id to
Id per 4511)5. cheaper.
Oatmeal. of which a moderate portion of both old and new
was taken by country dealers, receded in partial instances 3d
per 2451 b.
