BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, FEB. 19.
During the present week the sales of Wheat have been limited
and without alteration in price ; malting Barley pressing on the
market, end buyers might supply themselves for rather less mo.
ney. Little inquiry for grinding. Beans and Oats dull at last
week's rates.

BOSTON CORN MARKET-FEB. 19.
Our navigation not being open. our supplies have not been
large to-dlr. Fine qualities of Wheat supported late rates, but
secondary kinds were the turn lower. Oats and Beans in good
demand, at full as much money as last week. White Wheat 45s
to 475, Red 43s to 445, Oats 18s to 235, Beans 34s to 365.

HULL CORN MARKET—FEB. 18.
Wheat met free sale at last week's rates. Barley dull, Oats
u..varied, and transactions in Beans and Peas limited. Linseed
without change, Linseed Cakes not so ready sale, Rapeseed
more inquired for, Cakes neglected, Bones not offered freely,
and guano again dearer.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 21.
Tile arrivals into this port and Runcorn, since Tuesday
last, contain a fair quantity of Wheat and Oats, with a
liberal increase of Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, and
a moderate supply of Grain coastwise ; the imports from
abroad, during the same time, comprising merely 2920 qrs.
of Beans and 2531 qrs. of Indian Corn.
Although we had a tolerable number of town and coun-
try millers at this day's market, the wheat trade was flat,
at the decline of Friday; and for the middle qualities of
Irish, and all descriptions of English, a further abatement
was conceded, making quotations Id. to 2d. per 701bs.
below the rates of this day week ; and had Foreign been
pressed for sale, lower prices must have been accepted.
Flour continued to meet an exceedingly dull, 'lingering
sale. at a reduction of 6d. to Is. per sack.
Barley and Malt were also in very slow request, and the
turn cheaper.

Beans Were also difficult of sale, and receded ls. per
quarter.

In Pease no variation

Oats being very little noticed, the best qualities hardly
retained former prices; and other kinds were rather de-
pressed in value.

Oatmeal, although offered 6d. per load under the rates
of this day week, was taken off sparingly.

CORN EXCHANGE. FEBRUARY 21.
The duty on Foreign Barley has advanced this week to 3s.
per qr., the import rate on all other Grain remaining stationary.
We continue to receive a fair supply of Flour from Ireland,
but that of Oatmeal as well as Wheat and other Grain thence is
rather limited ; and whilst the arrivals Coastwise are of trivial
amount, we have none fresh in to report from abroad, except
743 qrs. Beans from Rotterdam
. .

Divested of all animation, scarcely any business was apparent
in any branch of the Corn trade here between Tuesday last and
today; and at our market this morning excessive dullness pre-
vailed in all its bearings • seeing no advantage, however, iu
forcing sales, holders of Wheat continued to require Tuesday's
rates, and though a few parcels were sold on rather lower
terms, they were of too little importance to reduce the general
quotations seated previously. Flour, also, continued to meet a
very slow demand, and both sacks and barrels exhibited an in-
clination downwards.

Malting Barley and Malt, although in limited request, were
unaltered in value: whilst of the former, for grinding purposes,
a few ales were effected at rather lower prices. Beans were
very unsaleable, and Pease barely sustained our last currency.
Oats and Oatmeal, for which scarcely any country buyers ap-
peared, and meeting very little attenti, n for local consumption,
each may be considered the turn cheaper.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 21.
We continue to have a very full market for all descriptions of
Grain. Wheat and distillers' Barley were sold at a reduction
of about 6d per barrel, and other kinds scarcely supported their
previous currency.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 19.
We had a good show of Beasts and Sheep to-day, and of full
average quality. The inquiries for prime Beef and Mutton con-
tinue good, and the full rates for such were supported, say 54d
to Sld per lb.; nearly all sold up.l

LEEDS CORN MARKET, FEB. 18.
The frosty weather has kept b ck supplies, and only a limited
business done in Wheat, at last currency ; more doing in Barley
at full prices. Oats and Beans in steady demand, at previous
rates.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 21.
The arrivals of Wheat and Beane are good for this day's mar-
ket, but moderate for other Grain. There is only a limited trade
passing. The finest qualities of all descriptions of grain about
maintain the prices of last week ; inferior qualities bad to sell.
We note no material a:teration in the price of any article.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. FEB. 22.
Complete inactivity continues to prevail in the Corn trade;
millers, bakers, and dealers will not purchase whilst they have
any stock on hand, and when they are obliged to do so, their
operations are limited to th:: smallest extent.
. .

The agricultural markets sustain little variation in the price
of Wheat, though the continuance of weather unfavourable for
out-of-door work, tends to keep up good supplies.
The Wakefield market yesterday exhibited little variation :
Liverpool very flat.

The business done at our Corn Exchange this morning, calls
for no particular observation; sales of every article are, on the
most limited scale, and the tendency of prices mad• be con-
sidered as being towards a decline. Holders, however, do not
seem inclined to force sales, and on the whole, we see no room
for any very decided alteration in the quotations of our last
circular.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 21.
A gocd extent of business has been done this week, with a
very firm and healthy market; the demand is still directed
more immediately to parcels in bond for which id advance upon
the current rates of last week is being obtained—those d sposed
are selling at extreme prices—and our quotations quoted have
reference to them only, the relative position in bond and free,
as to value, being now but trifling. Speculators have t ken
14,80 • balas of American and 200 Surat, and exporters 450 bales
of American. The sales to-day are only 3500 bales of all kinds,
the market closing steadily.
