WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 29.
We have large arrivals of Wheat, Barley and Beans at this
day's market, and a pretty good attendance of the trade. Mil-
lers were unwilling to purchase Wheat at a decline of from is
to 2s per quarter, and to effect sales a still further reduction had
to be submitted to. Barley was in limited demand, at a reduc-
tion of tully 2s per quarter on all descriptions. Oats and Shel-
ling remain vi ithout material alteration. Beans are heavy sale
and rather lower.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCH ANGE, MARCH 26.
The imports of Grain noted on Friday, aided by a con-
siderable number of arrivals since, furnish for the week
a large increase of Wheat, Oats, Alalt, Flour and Oat-
meal, with a moderate supply of Barley, Beans and Pease,
coastwise and from Ireland; including several parcels of
Dutch Wheat and Oats, and 3301 barrels of Flour from
Philadelphia.
Having again to report a very slender attendance of
home and country buyers, and the decline yesterday in
London, served at the commencement of this day's mar-
ket to augment the dulness previously complained of ;
which causing a further depression generally in the value
of English, Irish, and Foreign free Wheats to the extent
of 2d. per 701 b. from the rates of Tuesday last, necessi-
tous millers were at length purchasers upon a limited
scale at the abatement.
Home-made and Irish Flour continued to meet a very
difficult sale, on rather lower terms; and free States, as
well as Canadian being scarcely noticed, receded fully 6d.
per barrel.
Barley and Malt upon a limited inquiry, were each ls.
per qr. cheaper. Beans and Pease, attended with a
tolerable retail demand, fully supported former prices.
Oats, although in slow request, were held with firmness
at the extreme rates of this day week; and Oatmeal, ex-
citing more inquiry, would have been saleable to a fair
extent bad the sellers been induced to concede a further
slight abatement; but mostly adhering to the reduced
terms of Friday, a moderate business only was transacted

CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 29.

Upon Foreign Wheat the duty is reduced th s week to 1; s per
quarter, and on Flour to los 21d per barrel, leaving the import
rate in all other respects unvaried.
We have still to notice a fair supply of Flour from Ire'and,
with some further par, els of Oatmeal, whilst of other articles
thence and altogether Coastwise, the arrivals fresh in are ex-
ceedingly light; those from abroad comprising 2880 qrs. Wheat
from Marseilles and Rotterdam, with 200 barrels of Flour from
the United States.

The late decline in our prices having produced no improve-
ment whatever in the demand, we have continued to experience
a languid trade with apparent indifferenee on the part of
holders as well as consumers in regard to the promotion of
business, the little that has been done between Tuesday and to-
day sca cely varying our quotations.
The attendance at this day's market of several milers from
the interior, with somewhat more inquiry from our local buyers,
appeared to inspire au improv.d degree of confidence in the
trade; especia,ly in reference to good descriptions of English,
Irish, and Foreign free Wheats, in which a moderately fair
amount of business was transacted, and the full rates of Tues-
day were steadily maintained. Flour also, was held with
increased firmness, but the holders in some instances requiring
rather higher prices, which were not obtainable, few sales were
effected.

Barley and Malt continued to meet a very limited demand at
barely former prices. Beans and Pease, upon a moderate re-
tail inquiry, retained our last currency.
Oats, of which the fresh supply is trivial, and few offering
from granary, must be noted the turn dearer, although in cases
were higher t rites were asked, they were not readily saleable.
Oatmeal, however, attracting more general attention than of
late, sales to a fair extent occurred, and in several instances a
slight amendment was realised.
