LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 24

Our supplies are considerably increased since the close
of the week, chiefly of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal
from Ireland; we have also to report several cargoes of
Foreign Wheat Roundland, and 2,356 barrels Flour from
Canada.

The enhancement in the country districts during the
past week, with diminishing supplies from the growers, has
effected some amendment in Mark-lane, which, though
barely equalling the advance lately established here, ap-
peared to confirm the improved tone of the trade in the
e irly part of our market this morning ; but the millers
acting very much on the reserve, in the face of a good sup-
ply of Wheats offering, the transactions in this article
proved very limited in amount, and before the close new
Irish parcels were saleable at only about the increased
rates of Friday, except for very superior qualities, which
reached a trifle more. Foreign Wheats were also dull,
and made no tnnre than on this day week.—Flour was
held for 6d. to Is. advance, but sold with difficulty.

English Malting Barley varies in quality from 325. to
365. per quarter. Beans more saleable, and Is. per qr.
dearer. Pease in moderate request at the quotations.
Prime Mealing Oats brought 2s. sd. to 2s. sid. per
451 b., though in limited quantity only. Oatmeal was in
better demand. at an increase in value of 6d. per sack on
both old and new.
Since the sale of 1.000 barrels at the close of the week
at 21s. 9d., nothing has been done in Bonded Flour.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 27

There is no alteration this week in any of the duties, whether
Foreign or Colonial.

Although the liberal imports stated in our circular of Tuesday
last have not since been llWllowed up by any arrivals of magni-
tude, except Flour and Oatmeal, of which a further good sup-
ply is to hand, the Grain trade on the whole, from that period to
the present date, has remained rather languid, confined chiefly

to consumers, on much the same terms as previously noted.
We had a moderate attendance of town and country millers
at this day's market, and though not many transactions took
place in Wheats in consequence ot holders refusing to accept an
batement, a fair extent of business would have been done in

good descriptions at a little under our last ciuotations, both for
consumption. and with speculators. several of wh m were desi-
rous of repeating investments in this Grain : if anything, prices
were the turn in favour of the buyei.— Flour. upon a limited de-
mind, barely sustains the currency of Tuesday.

The late arrivals of English matting Harley have been mostly
sold at 84s. to 365. per quarter. and grinding samples of Irish and
Foreign support former pikes.— Malt, Beans, and Peas, attended

Oats, without any active demand, move off gradually at our
last quotations; whilst Oatmeal continues to meet a ready sale,
for holding over as well as for consumption, and commands ra-
ther higher prices.
No transactions are reported in bond.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, OCT

We had a much better show of stock to-day than for the last
two or three weeks, and the quality by comparison much
superior. There were a few foreign beasts at market, and the
quality very good. To make any thing like a clearance, the
jobbers were obliged to submit to a small decline both in Beef
and Mutton; and, at the close, not many unsold.

LIVERPOOL HIDE & SKIN MARKET, OCT. 27

The demand both for Hides and Skins has been good to-day,
but the prices for the former was rather easier for heavy weights,
whilst skins maintained their prey ous value. The prices were,
Hides 7Olbs and upwards, 3-Zd; under 701 b 3 d ; and Balls IV.
Sheep Skins. Ist class Irish, 3s 5d ; and class Irish and Cheviots,
as 9d; 3rd class ditto, 2s; and Scotch Is led to Is sd. No
alteration in Veal Skins.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, OCT

During the present week holders of English Wheat demanded
a rise of Is to 2s per quarter, which millers were unwilling to
give. have bought freely the last fortnight. Malting Barley
was taken reluctantly at Is per qr. advance; grinding qualities
Is per quarter higher. Old and new Beans and grinding Peas

must also be quoted Is per quarter dearer
but last week's rates rather exceeded.

In Oats less passing,

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 26

We had a large supply of Cattle and Sheep in market. Prime
stock for home consumption maintained its price, whilst in-
ferior and those for export were considerably lower, from the
low prices offered by coopers, and the very bad prices realised
by exporters at the last Liverpool markets. Average prices—
heel, 34s to 45s per cwt.: Mutton, aid to 5d per lb; Veal Sid to
83d per eitto, sinking offal.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 27.

Although we had a very scanty number of beasts here this
morning the Beef trade was excessively heavy at. in some in-
stances, a trifling decline in prices. The Mutton trade was also

ling ane

abatement in value of 2d per 81b. Very few Calv s were on
show, yet the highest figure obtained for them did not exceed
4s per 81b. Prime small Pigs supported late rates, but other
kinds were rather lower. Mitch Cows were held at from £l6
to £l9 10s each. By the quantities of 81bs, sinking the offal.
