CORN EXCHANGE. DEC. S

Beyond a fair quan, ity of Oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals
thence and coastwise since our advice of Tuesday, have been
very moderate, owing partly to the boisterous weather which
has prevailed through the week ; the imports from abroad du-
ring the same time, cons sting of 1753 quarters of Wheat and
7512 barrels of Flour from Canada, with a few parcels of Pease,
Indian Corn, and Flour, from the American States.
The only change in the duties this week is a decline on Foreign
Barley and Indian Corn to 4.. per quarter.
In any article of the Corn trade, between our first and second
markets this week, scarcely any business was apparent, prices
generally rather tending downwards.
The suspense in which the country is still,placed in reference
to the Corn Laws, and the contradictory announcements, stated
in some of the London papers of yesterday, on that important
question, whether authentic or otherwise, have completely
checked any exten,ive operations whatever in the course of our
market this morning, at which very few actual buyers appeared,
and the sales of Wheat being limited in the extreme, all descrip-
tions of English, Irish, and Foreign, duty paid, declined 2d to
3d. per 751 b below our last quotations. Flour was equally diffi-
cult to sell, Irish and home-made receding Is per sack, and Ca-
nadian Is. per barrel.
IRO ley...Pease, and Indian Corn, were more neglected than
usaal, and nominally cheaper; Malt, on the contrary, remained
steady in value, and Beans supported late prices.
Oats continuing in small supply, were held on the terms last
noted, at which, however, scarcely any sales were effected, and
Oatmeal, meeting very little notice, was offered at a further re-
duction of Is. per 2401 b.
In the bonded market 'no transactions have recently trans.
pired. and although Wheat is still held at former prices, the im-
porters of States Flour appear willing to concede an abatement
of Is. per barrel.

mutton. But little stock unsold.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 5.
We have had a moderate supply of wheat at market; but the
quantity of barley and oats was considerable. Prime wheat
brought nearly the redaced prices of Tuesdey, but secondary
qualities were again rather lower. Prime barley and oats were
also sold at former prices, but middling descriptions were sold
at 6d. per barrel lower, and a conside

BIRMINGHAM CORN

MARKET, DEC

The statement in the Times of this morning nearly put a stop
to transactions in wheat, and the trifling sales made were at a
reduction of Is. to 2s. per quarter. Fine barley was fully as
dear, but secondary qualities were difficult to quit. Only
limited parcels of oats were disposed of at a reduction of 6d per
quarter. Beans dull at a ceding of Is. per quarter. Peas un-
altered, and really fine white boilers inquired for.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, DEc. 5.
We have a good arrival of wheat, but small of other articles
to this day's market. The renewed statement that there is to
be an abolition or considerable amelioration of the corn-laws,
has produced a disinclination for business on the part of the
buyers, and the sale of wheat is very limited, at a decline of ls.
to 28. per quarter. In barley, beans, oats, and shelling, we
quote no alteration.-

MARKET, DECEMBER 6.

MANCHESTER CORN
Business, which in the early part of the week was sufficiently
dull, has been quite put a stop to by reports which, whether
true or not, have the effect of completely unsettling the trade.
At Wakefield and Liverpool yesterday the markets were
nearly a blank; and at our Corn Exchange to-day, though
there seems to be reason to doubt the authenticity of the Times
announcement, the same was pretty much the case. Wheat
may be quoted 3d to 4d per bushel; Flour is to 2s per sack;
Oats id per bushel; and Oatmeal is per load lower—all other
articles sharing in the general depression.

A few months—nay, a few weeks ago—we were
assured that the corn-law was an atrocious thing
which stood between the starving poor and a cheap
supply of food. It withered the enterprise of the
country, whilst it put millions per annum into the
pockets of griping landowners. The League bawled
anathemas against it ; dissenting ministers battered
it with Scripture texts; young ladies begged pennies
and subscriptions from door to door to put it down,

and anti-monopoly young gentlemen folded circu-
lars and posted them out of eleemosynary funds,

the foot of her own stairs. The deceased, who was left
well a short time before, was, it appeared, subject to fits,
