MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. MARCH 2.
General inactivity and tendency to decline in prices has pre-
vailed during the week. At our market tb-day Wheat is offered
at a reduction of 3d, to 4d. per 70 lbs., and Flour is. per sack ;
but buyers act with the greatest caution, and the business done
is quite of a retail character. Secondary Oats and Oatmeal
are rather cheaper, but the best qualities are held at nominally
late rates. Beans Is. per quarter lower.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, MARCH 2.
The imports are insignificant. The improved tone noticed

creaseddemandlor any article in the trade ; on the contrary,
great langour has prevailed, with a tendency to lower prices.
We had a small supply of English Wheat from our neighbour-
ing growers, at our Corn-Exchange to-day, which met a slow
sale at our last quotations. A parcel of Lincolnshire was sell-
ing at 18s. 6d. per windle, equal to 40s. 4d. per quarter of
480 lbs. The transactions in Irish were too trifling to warrant
any alteration from our last currency. Foreign, 2d. to 3d. per
bushel lower. Flour a dull sale and rather cheaper. Beans as
before. Oats were offered at an abatement of id. per bushel.
Farmers' Oatmeal unchanged; Irish, meeting very little en-
quiry, barely sustained its previous value.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. MARCH 1.
The supplies are gond of most articles. There is very little
passing in Wheat, and to progress in sales a submission of Is.
to 2s. per qr. is made without inducing millers to purchase,
except in very limited quantities. In Barley there is no change
in value, but common qualities are still difficult to move. Oats,
shelling, and Beans, meet a dull sale. and nrices tend lower.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, FEB. 2G.
The supply of grain to-day is small, with the exception of

animate state, and wheat must be quoted 6d. to Is. pei qr.
lower than last week. In Barley as well as Oats there is no
alteration. Beans are Is. per qr. lower, and little demand for

uently it sold at about similar rates to

. . last Saturday. The supply coastwise, however, is good, and
there is also some quantity offering from warehouse. The
trade continues to rule dull in the extreme; and although a
decline of fully is. per quarter would have been submitted to
to effect sales, very little business resulted. Barley in moderate
demand, and prices still continue to decline. There is a large
arrival of Oats coastwise, chiefly from the North ; and of
home-growth the supply was also plentiful. The sale is very
limited, and entirely to consumers, but prices do not vary
m-..ch from the currency of this day se'nnight. A few parcels
of White Peas have come to hand this week from Hamburg, of
fine quality, and have realised 265. to 0` - In

The arrivals of Flour continue heavy, but sales are very diffi-
