WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 28.
We continue to be liberally supplied with Wheat, and have
good arrivals of Barley and other articles. The Wheat trade
exhibits more firmness to-day, and there is a moderate business
done at last week's prices. Barley:in moderate request at for-
mer rates. No alteration in the value of Oats and Shelling,
with only a retail demand. Beans rather dearer.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 29.
During the last day or two we have had rather more inquiry
for Flour, but on the whole the week's business has been of a
limited character. In the agricultural districts the deliveries
of grain fall off as prices decline. At our market to-day the bu-
siness done in each article is quite in Mail. In the value of
Wheat there is no decided alteration. We reduce our quota-
tions for Flour Is. per sack in some instances, but generally
holders show more firmness. Oats as last quoted. Oatmeal
slow of sale, at Is. per load reduction, other articles go off
slowly at former rates.
