SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. S.
We have had a fair show of Beasts and Sheep to day, but as
the de ,lers and jobbers were ask ng more money in the early
part of the day, it caused a slack trade till near noon, and even.
tually all was sold up at last week's currency.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Fen 12.
A steady business has been done during the week in all
articles at gradna ly improving prices. and the stock of Flour
which had for some time Dressed heavily on the market, is now
reduced to a comparatively small compass, whilst the weekly
arrivals are not equal t. the supply of the current demand.
At Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, a good business was
done, at advancing pirces.
In the agricultural districts a general advance of full 2s per
quarter on Wheat has taken place, and the farmers are con-
tracting their deliveries.
Our Corn Exchange is well attended this morning. Though
the advance of 2d to 3d per bushel on Wheat, and Is to 2s per
sack on Flour, which is firmly demanded. keeps buyers in check,
a fair business is doing in both, in which the above noted im-
provement is realized.
O. is and Oatmeal meet a moderate enquiry, at fully last
week's rates.
Malt firm, at late quotations, with a good enquiry for fine
qualities.
Beans, both old and new, are scarce, and bring an advance
of Is per quarter.
In other articles no particular variation.

LONDON CORN-EXCHANGE, FEB. 3.
There was only a limited quantity of Wheat and Barley from
Essex and Suffoik this morning, but a fair supply of both these
articles was up from Kent, and there was a good show of Beans
and Peas from the latter and first mentioned counties. Several
vessels with Oats have arrived since last market day, principally,
however, from Ireland. The importations of foreign Grain
have been trifling, but 4800 barrels of Flour have con.e in from
the United Sta es. There has been many vicissitudes in the
weather since this day se'nnight ; yesterday a heavy fall of
snow, thawing at the same time, but a return of frost this
morning. There was an improved demand for English Wheat,
and from the statement of ministers that no change in the laws
is contemplated, an advance of Is to 2s per qr. was established
on all fine samples, and about Is per qr. on the secondary
descriptions. From the same cans?: a similar addition was
asked for all free foreign Wheat, but the business transacted was
not extensive. more, however, from the firmness of sellers, than
from any Want of buyers. Flour met a good demand; prime
ex-ship, realised about Is per sack more than last week. Good
malting Barley fully as dear, with a fair sale for such, and a
firm trade for all sorts. Fine Malt was held for rather more
Money, and there was a moderate demand for the best qualities.
Beans met a steady sale, and were the turn dearer. Peas com-
mand I s per qr. above last Monday's currency. A tolerable
good business was transacted in Oats. and full prices were ob-
tained for all descriptions Tares were quite as dear. Linseed
and Rapeseed br, ught former rates. There have been good
arrivals of red Clover-seed from France, and the trade is slow,
without alteration in value.
