BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 28

At this day's market, the supply of Wheat was again short,
and the currency of this days 'nnight was fully maintained ;
and, in some instances, rather exceeded; red Polish Odessa
brought 7s 6d per 621 b. ; mixed 7s Bd. Malting Barley has an
improved sale, and grinding but little inquired for. Rather
more doing in Oats. Beans ad to Is per quarter dearer. Pease
unaltered.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 30.

The want of adequate demand for Flour and Oatmeal affects
every branch of the trade, and we have to report another week
of dull and unsatisfactory business. The list of arrivals exhibits
a full supply from all our usual sources of import. Wakefield
yesterday was fiat, and lower for Wheat; whilst at Liverpool
an improved feeling was discernible. To-day we have little
enquiry for any article, farther than what is nece, Gary for the
supply of present wants. Wheat is 2d. per bushel cheaper.
Flour fully Is and in some cases 2s. per sack lower ; but from
the length of time that the bakers and dealers have been out of
the market, we conceive their stocks of this article must be
getting low. Oats without alteration, as also is Oatmeal.
Beans Is. per quarter lower. Malt steady at late rates.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 1.
The business transacted in Bntter during the past week has
only been to a limited nature. Stocks of fine Butter appear to
have been nearly exhausted; and on the eve of the new season,
dealers are fastidiously cautions in their purchases. It is diffi-
cult to quote prices with correctness, there being a range of
something like 25s per cwt. between the higher characted But.
ters and the middling and indifferent sorts. New Grass Butter
if is expected will make its appearance here in about a fortnight
or three weeks hence, and will p obably op n at about 112 s per
cwt. There is a moderate inquiry for Pickled Butter, at 71s per
cwt. for seconds. Prime Irish Beef and Pork fairly support
our late quotations; whilst foreign continues to be neglected,
and offering at very low rates.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 29.

The same degree of heaviness which has been noticed during
the past fortnight still continues, and holders of American
having offered their stocks very freely, a further decline of ad
to id per lb has been submitted to; Sea Island, on the other
hand, has been in good request, and prices are ad per lb higher.
Good Egyptian commands full rates, but the z ommon qualities,
as well as Brazil and Surat, are rather lower. Spectators have
taken 1000 American and 1200 Surat, and Exporterr 500
American. They have been forwarded int the country unsold
during the month ]330 American and 220 Pernambuco.

COTTON MARKET, APRIL 1

Down. topling Clc;Wn, and to all appearance not at the bottom
yet, for each succeeding day the market has a more tame and
sickly appearance ; the daily sales do not average more than
2 0 bales. Several holders have withdrawn their stocks till
there is more anxiety displayed by consumers to purchase even
to a moderote extent. The tumb e down from the exfreme top
is three farthings a pound, yet speculatort are asleep.
