CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 7.

The arrivals coastwise and from Ireland are still very mode-
rate in amount, but of foreign Wheat within the last 'three
days, we have to report a further large supply from the Con.
tinental ports of Europe, with 176 u qrs. Beans from Alexan-
andria, and 156 qrs Pease from Rostock.

A change of Wind,—Witer:d;c;fiiiWbout six hours rain on
Wednesday, the first of any consequence in this district since
the 13th April, was followed by genial showers in the course of
yesterday, which have greatly improved the face of th.. country,
and appear already to have produced a favout able ',Met upon
all the crops around us ; thereby tending to repress the pre-
vious dipositiori to purchase freely, and the transactions here,
during the interval since Tuesday have been, therefore, gene-
rally unimportant, but with little variation in the price of any
article from our last currency. _

With more rain early this morning and fine growing weather,
our market exhibited no interesting features in any branch of
the Corn trade to-day; for although several millers attended
from the country, no active business was apparent in Wheat,
and our local buyers remaining much on the reserve, the sales
of this grain were altogether upon a limited scale, at prices in
some cases equal to, and in others at a slight abatement from
the rates of Tuesday. English and Irish Flour, being in mo-
derate request, supported late prices; and Foreign, though
little noticed, was unaltered in value.
Owing to the causes expressed in the preceding remarks,
Barley, Malt, Beans and Peas, as well as Oats and Oatmeal,
were almost without inquiry and nominally cheaper ; as, how-
ever, the sale of any of these articles was nearly impracticable
to-day, it is difficult to quote such prices as might have been
realised had holders been determined to sell.

In bonded or floating produce, no further operations have
been reported.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 7.
There is a good arrival of Wheat to this day's market, and a
fair xtcnt of business passing at last week's prices. The de-
mand for Barley continues innited, but it fully supports its
value. During yesterday we had rain for several hours, which
has rather checked the demand for Oats, Shellings, and Beaus;
but the pr ces of last week are generally required. Malt is is
per load dearer.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 13.
Th demand for new Butter has continued very brisk since
our last, and prices are fully supported. The finest descriptions
of Cairick, Carlow, &c. bringing 80s to 82s Brands not so
well known or appreciated, however, are a slow sale at 72s to
78s. Old Butter is not asked for. Prime Beef and Pork with.
out aleration in price; holders generally are inclined to lighten
their stocks. Bacon is tolerably easy to sell at 39s to 416 for
Belfast middles.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 8.
We have had refreshing showers throughout this district
during the last few days, but no continuous rains, which alone,
after such p. otracted drought, can be permanently effective.
In Wheat little has been doing. Fresh Flour has met a steady
demand for consumption, at late rates; other articles have been
held at the quotations of our last, but the change in the weather
has checked the demand which was springing up for Oatmeal,
and the various descriptions of spring Corn.
The principle feature in the list of arrivals, are the foreign
imports of Wheat, the holders of which are in many cases
paying the present rate of duty.
Liverpool and Wakefield, without material change, yesterday.
At our market this day, there is a moderate sale for Wheat,
at about late prices. Fresh Flour goes off stea ily at former
rates, but ware' oused lots are difficulty of sale, except on lower
terms. All other articles in moderate request, at fully late
prices, with the exception of Oatmeal, which is offered at a re-
duction of ad to 6d per load, without meeting more than a very
limited sale.
