WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. fEBRUARY 14

We have a fair supply of Wheat, and oar demand continuing
of the most limited character, sales proceed slowly, at a decline
of Is. per quarter. The arrival of Barley is large. principally
Foreign : good qualities of English sell at, late prices; other
sorts somewhat cheaper. Oats and Shelling very little inquired
for, and rather lower. No alteration in the value of Beans or
other articles.

WISBECH 'CORN MARKET, FERRUARY 15.
Wehave rather a small show of Wheat, but a fair quantity of
Oats and Beans here to-day. Wheat has not,improved in ton-
4ition, and moves off slowly at reduced rates. Scarcely a dry
sample to be met with. ;Oats and Beans no cheaper.

NEWCASTLE-UPON,TYNE CORN MARKET, _FEB. 15. .
There was a very large supply of wheat at market to-day
from the country, and also a good supply coastwise during the
week. Buyers confining their purchases entirely for immediate
use, there is no getting through any quantity of wheat, and the
trade _altogether labours under extreme depression, the little
business transacted being at a reduction of full Is. per quarter
on all -descriptions of quality. Malting barley also a heavy
sale, at-barely last week's quotations, with little or no demand
for grinding qualities. We are again largely supplied with oats
coastwise, as also from the farmers, and sales are most difficult
to effect, .although offered at a decline of is. per quarter, and a
great part:now here must of necessity go into the warehouse for
the present. In peas and beans.so little doing that prices-are
merely nominal. Flour in large supply ; sales slow, at a
reduction ofifully ad. per sack. The weather is remarkably fine
for the season.

Chars about 60._per lb. ; ewes, sd. to .50. Rather a dull sale
for Sheep, especially at the finish. A very inferior show of
Calves, the best making 6 d. ; middling:class, 40. to 50.

LEEDS FORTNIGHT CATTLE FAIR, FEB. 12.
We have had a fair. supply of Beasts and Sheep at this day's
market, and a large attendance of buyers. The horned cattle
were principally from .the north, and were large and well-fed.
In the early part of the day trade was a little languid, but to-
wards the close nearly all were sold off, the prices being from
ss. Bd. to 6s. 3d, per st, of 161 b. Sheep all changed hands at
from sd. to 6d. per lb. timber of Beasts, 750.; Sheep, 3,500.

MANCHESTER STATE OF TRAM

The market has experienced no alleviation of the depression
which has now so long existed ; .on the contrary, a greater de-
gree of Aulness has this week prevailed than has been experi-
enced for a very lengthened period previously. Prices have
been further affected, and so much irregularity exists as to
render any quotations very difficult. Yarns may be taken as
generally fully id. lower, and goods ti. to 3d. per piece below
previous rates ; both yarns and cloth being offered at a greater
or smaller decline, according to the magnitude of the stocks
held, and the position of the producer. The present inactive
condition of the market is mainly ovviiy,s; to the uncertainty
which is generally felt as to the price to which cotton will de-
cline. For several weeks it has been predicted that buyers
could not much longer restrict their operations within such
narrow limits; all such predictions have, however, so far,
turned out fallacious, and as there is nothing indicative of any
speedy advance in the raw material on the other side, in its
absence the only movement that seems likely to improve our
present position must be looked for from renewed operations
of buyers, either for export or the home markets. The latter
have been dull for some weeks, and a renewal of the export de-
mand can only be expected by the incidence of greater confi-
dence in the maintenance of prices. Towards the accomplish-
ment of this, improved accounts from India might do much ;
but the report received on Friday, in anticipation of
the mail, is just the very reverse of encouragi:lg. Manufactu-
rers have, for a long time, restricted their purequtes of yarn
with the narrowest limits, and an alteration of this policy can
only be expected to result from greater confidence being en•
tertained as to the stability of the raw material, which is not
very likely soon to occur—so far_ a.s can be_ foreseen—if we are
to

ait foi• improved accounts of the American markets. Under
Bch circurnEtances, it is 4iffiqult to anticipate any imxie-diAte
improvement,
