LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 2

The market for Beef has been very quiet; the dealers gene-
rally being in stock, we do not look for much activity for some
time to come. The new western Pork referred to in our last
has found buyers at all prices. Old continues to sell at former
rates, chiefly for Ireland. Several parcels of Hamburgh cure
have been taken this week. The demand for Bacon is on a
much more limited scale than at the same period last year;
the supply is, however, so short, holders are enabled to main-
tain the present high prices, and therefore the market must be
quoted firm. Hams meet a pretty free sale. Shoulders are
wanted. A further advance of 6d. per cwt. has been esta-
blished on Lard, with about the usual extent of sales. For
want of assortment, Cheese has been but little looked for. But-
ter sells slowly, at last week's prices.

STATE OF TRAIN

MANCHESTER.—The dulness and depression in this market
still continues. Prices are exceedingly irregular, but generally
lower, and that considerably. Perhaps there has not been such
a complete suspension of business as was observable last week ;
but in cases where business has been done, it has been at ex-
tremely low prices, the extent of the reduction submitted to
being the temptation to purchasers, and the only means by
which sales could be made by producers. The smallness of
the demand has not been limited to any particular foreign
market, or to manufacturers for home consumption, but has
been universal. The decline in prices this week amounts to
4d. to fd. for bundled yarns, and id. to id, for cop yarns and
warps; and in cloth the decline varies from lid. to 4id. per
piece; but the variations in the rates accepted are very consi-
derable, the market being most irregular. There appears to
be no probability of a termination to this unsatisfactory state
of affairs until the raw material has declined in value to such
an extent as will induce something like confidence in its future
stability; and it really becomes a question whether it would
not be Letter to suspend operations for a time, and by this
means to bring a lingering process to a more speetiy termina-
tion.

ROCHDALE.—The flannel market has been dull, and a li-
mited amount of business has been transacted, at prices much
the same as those of the preceding week. Wool has undergone
no change in price, but the dealers complain of having very
little to do.

LE Ers.--We cannot this week report any change in the
woollen trade of this town and neighbourhood. The same de-
gree of quietness in both demand and supply which we have
some time had to notice still prevails. If anything there is a
slight improvement in the amount of business done by the
shipping houses.
BRADFORD. Wool: There is no change since our last, either
as regards disposition to buy or sell, and the prices of last
week are fully maintained. Tarn: The spinners are gene-
rifly seeking higher prices for this month's delivery, but which
are not freely conceded. The price of goods being out of pro-
portion to the cost, places the manufacturers fn a difficult po-
sition. Pieces: There has been rather more done in pieces,
but the prices are very unsatisfactory.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET, MAY 2.
The most ungenial weather has prevailed throughout this
district, since Saturday last, being more like winter than spring.
with a cold northerly wind, accompanied with bail, snow, and
rain. Owing to rent time approaching, our farmers brought
forward an increased supply of Wheat this morning. which
was all disposed of, upon terms similar to this day se'nnight.
Coastwise the arrivals are limited, but liberal from abroad.
G•od fresh Baltic Wheats met a fair comparative demand, at
last week's quotations; but ordinary qualities are Is. per qr.
lower. The sale for malting barley having nearly ceased, prices
are merely nominal. Grinding in fair request at late rates.
The arrivals of Oats continue limited, and the late advance is
fully maintained, with a good demand. INo change in the value
of Pease or Beans. Flour, of good quality, more :enquired
after, and the quotations of last week were supported to-day.

WISBECH CORN MARKET. MAY 3.
We have a fair show of Wheat in good condition, and the
prices of last market day are fully supported. Beans 6d. per
qr. and Oats Is. per qr. higher, and these articles are very
scarce.
