WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 16.

There is a large arrival of Wheat to this day's market. Hav-
ing had unsettled weather during the last few days, the holders
of Wheat obtained an advance of Is in the early part of the day,
for best samples, upon the little business done ' • but towards the
close, trade ruled dull at last week's rates. A fair demand for
grinding barley. Oats and shelling sell readily without any
material alteration iu value. Beans in request at an advance
of Is. Wheat, 8,455; Beans, 1,723; Barley, 1,957; Oats, 531 ;
Peas, 470.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, AUG. 14.
We had a large show of all kinds of stock, and of average
quality. The market dull, and prices again in favour of the
buyer for both Beef and Mutton. A considerable quantity of
stock unsold. Best Beef, 5d to fad; Mutton, 4id to aid;
Lamb, 5d to Sid.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, AUGUST 15.
During the present week, owing to the improved accounts
from Mark Lane, and the unsettled state of the weather,
English Wheat has realised an advance of 2s per quarter, and
foreign was sold at rather over last week's prices. Malting
and grinding Barley maintained its value. Beans a free sale,
and some descriptions Is per quarter dearer. Not much passing
in Oats, and no change in their value. At this day's market,
the day being fine, we had a dull trade; but the English Wheat
that was sold, realised an advance of 2s per quarter upon the
rates of last week. There was an extensive demand for Barley,
at fully the prices of this day se'nnight. Ra her more doing in
Oats at last week's currency. Beans about is per quarter
dearer.

MANCHESTER. CORN EXCHANGE, AuG. 17.
Though the weather has been of a decidedly unsettled
character, and we have at intervals had heavy showers since
this day week, it has not, in this neighbourhood, been such as
to excite alarm, and not nearly so unfavourable as it appears to
have been in the midland and southern counties, where a great
portion of the Wheat is cut, and but little secured.
It has been sufficient, however, to maintain a confident feel-
ing in the trade, and a fair business has been done in most
articles, at full and, in some instances, at rather advancing
prices, for fine fresh qualities of each article.
At Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, a generally improved
feeling was discernible.
At this day's day's market there is a good inquiry for each
article of consumption. Wheat is 2d per bushel, fresh English
and Irish Flour Is per sack, and the better qualities of Canadian
6d per barrel dearer.
Oats are the turn better, and choice Oatmeal brings 3d to 6d
per load more, in retail parcels. English Beans very scarce,
and both there and foreign are full 2d per quarter higher. Malt
firm, at late prices.
