MANCHESTER CORN- EXCHANGE, MAY 18.

At our Exchange to-day there is but little inclination for bu-
siness.' If there be any alteration in the value of Wheat and
Flour it is in favour of the buyer, but we do not vary the quota-
tions of our last. Oats,
.Oatmeal, and Beans are held for a
small advance, but there Ism effective demand at anything be-
yold old prices. In other articles no variation in value.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, MAY 18.
The trade since this day se'nnight has continued to maintain
a firm aspect,tfit the temperature having within the last two
days become milder, with a few slight showers of rain, dealers
have purchased with the utmost caution, and the most trifling
amendment upon our last quotations was paid reluctantly. We
had a fair show of English Wheat at our Corn Exchange to-
day, which met a languid sale, and an attempt to advance the
price was unsuccessful; consequently we repeat our last quo-
tatione. Irish as well as Foreign, attracting little notice, sup-
ported previous prices. Flour in rather more request, but un-
altered is value. Beans 6d.. to is. Tier windle higher. Oats in
short supply, and saleable at id. to id. per bushel more money.
The few loads of fariners' Oatmeal that appeared realized an
amendment of Is. 6d. per 2401b5. ; and Irish was generally held
for a further improvement of 6d. per load. Other articles as
before.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, MAY 18.
The supply of Wheat 'offering here fo-clay is fully equal to
the demand, and the trade is slow at a reduction of Is. to 2s.
per quarter. Oats are scarce, and no alteration in their value.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

MAY 18.

The supply of Wheat from the farmers to this day's market
was leis than last week, and the arrivals Coastwise are only to
a limited extent, while from abroad the quantity up this morn-
ing does' not exeeed 2000 qrs. for the week. Owing to the
decline in Wakefield yesterday, and dull report from Mark-
lane, the demand was not so active as of late, still a fair
amount of business was transacted, and prices may be quoted
much about the same as on this day se'nnight. For Grinding
Batley there is a good demand at an advance of 6d. to Is.
per qr." No alteration in the value of White Peas. Beans of
good quality bring Is. per 9r. more money, and in request. In
Rye little doing. The arrivals of Oats Coastwise and Foreign
are exceedingly limited, and good heavy sweet parcels com-
mand a further improvement of Ed. per qr. Flour in rather
better supply, still last week's aevance was fully supported
to-day Tor fresh parcels of south country. The weather is now
much milder, and more seasonable.
Wheat—Northumberland, white, per qr. 415. to 435.
Do. ' Do. red; do.
Flour—Norfolk household, per sack 27s. to 9.88.
