LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MARCH 10.
In consequence of the unsettled state of the manufacturing
districts in this neighbourhood, and the political disturbances
on the Continent, which have caused a want of confidence in
all mercantile transactions, the market continues to be very
much depressed, and prices of American have again declined
fully *d. per lb., in which all other kinds have more or less
partaken ; making, during the last fortnight, a reduction of
id. to gd. per lb. 400 American have been taken on specula-
tion, and 560 American for export.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, MARCH 11.
We have a moderate show of Wheat, but by no means si
large one. Wheat of all descriptions readily makes Is. to 2s
more than last week. Beans, no alteration. There is a bett
feeling in the Oat trade, and prices are fully supported. Price
to the grower :—Wheat, new white, 60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 475. t
50s. ; extra, 545. per quarter. Wheat, new red, 60 lbs. to 63 lbs.;
465. to 495. ; extra, 51s. per quarter. Oats, 104 d. to Ild. per
stone. Beans, new, 65 lbs. to eAsi lbs., 345. to 375. per quarter.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

MARCH 11

Our supplies by water this week are trifling, except of Flour
from the coast and Oats from abroad. Of Wheat of Mine
growth there was to-day a fair number of samples, and the,rnii:
lers being very bare of stock, bought freely, at about Is. per qr,
above the currency of last Saturday. Good foreign Wheat is
becoming very scarce, and there was a better demand both for
parcels on the spot and to arrive. Barley met a very languid
sale. Pease and Beans were unsaleable at almost anyprice.
Oats being plentiful, and two or three lots offering, ex ship, the
rates of last week could not be maintained. Northumberland
red wheat, 48s. to 535. ; ditto white, 50s. to 545.; Norfolk
household Flour, per sack, 375. to 38s,

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 11.!
The week's business has been of a steady character, at priceti
rather tending upwards. Supplies are moderate from all quar-
ters. To-day we have a moderate business doing in each arti-
cle, and we consider the improvement in value since this day
week to be 3d. per bushel on Wheat, Id. on Oats, 6d. to ls. per
sack and barrel on Flour, 6d. per load on Oatmeal, and Is. to
2s. per quarter on Indian Corn. In other artieles there' is no
alteration. Duty is now 7s. per qr. upon Wheat, and 4s. 3d.
per barrel or 6s. 3d. per sack upon Flour; in other respects it
as unchanged.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 11.
We have only moderate arrivals. There is a good inquiry for
Wheat, and an advance of Is. to 2s. is required, which some-
what checks business, yet the market closes firm. Barley is
difficult to sell at last week's prices. Oats are ad. per at. higher,
and Shelling makes Is. per load more money. In Beans no
alteration.

WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, MARCH 7.
Wheat, 69 qrs., OZ2 10s. 6d. qr.: total. .'174 4a. 6d,
Oats, 18 qrs., t t'o 19s. Od. *qr. : total, .€ 12 7s. Od
Barley, 18 qrs., .41 10s. Bd. qr.: total, £27 12e. Od,

LEEDS CORN MARKET, MARcx 7. - i
The arrival of Wheat was rather short to-day, but of other
articles pretty good. There was a good demand for 'Wheal..
fully ls. per. qr. advance. Barley sold slowly at late rates. () 0
Ad. per at. dearer. In Beans no alteration.
