NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

FEBRUARY 26.

Except of Oats coastwise, we have had very few arrivals.
At to-day's market, there was a smaller show of Farmers'
Wheat than for some weeks past, and both English and foreign
samples were in demand at full prices. Barley met a dull sale,
at Is. per•quarter less money. Rye and Pease were quite neg-
lected. The market being so well supplied with Oats, both by
land and water, no progress could be made in selling, though
holders would have submitted to lower rates. Wheat, North-
umberland red, 48s. to 535. per quarter; ditto, white, 50s. to
548. per quarter.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 26.

There has been only a very* moderate show of Wheat here
to-day; but we have had plenty of Oats and Beans offering.
Wheat is pretty easy to sell, at fully last week's prices. Beans
and Oats slow sale, and the turn in favour of the buyer.
Prices to the grower:—Wheat, new white, 60 to 63 lbs., 445. to
465., extra, 51s. per quarter ; ditto, red, 50 to 63 lbs., 435. to
