SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 17.
We have had a very excellent show of stock this week, but as
buyers were very numerous, the best Beef and Mutton readily
fetched last week's rates. Every thing prime sold up early in
the day.

LIVERPOOL HIDE & SKIN MARKET, JAN. 13.
The demand for Hides to-day has fallen off a little, and prices
were a shade lower: —7olb. and upwards, 3id to and; under 70
to 80, 2id ; under 60, 3iz ; inferior Cow 2id ; bulls lid. For
Sheep Skins the sale was brisk ; first class rash 6s 4d; second

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 16.
Into this port and Runcorn, since the 9th instant, the
arrivals of Wheat and other Grain are comparatively very
inconsiderable, as well coastwise as from Ireland, but of
Flour and Oatmeal we have to note a further good sup-
ply ; the imports from abroad during the week consisting
merely of about 1800 qrs. of Wheat from Egypt, and 787
barrels of States and Canadian Flour.
Our market this morning having been tolerably well
attended by town and country buyers, and the rise in
London yesterday tending to impart rather more general
confidence, a fair extent of business was transacted in
English and Irish Wheats, at an advance of Id. to 2d. ;
most kinds of free Foreign realising Id. per 701bs. over
the rates of last week, and ordinary runs of Mediterra-
nean, in partial instances, exceeding this improvement.
English and Irish Flour met a good inquiry, but holders
requiring an advance of Is. per sack, and upon Foreign
ls. per barrel, which was not readily paid, sales in conse-
quence were not et tensive.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule
nearly as in our report of Friday.
Oats, with very few offering upon the market, were fully
Id. per 451 b. dearer than on this day week ; and Oatmeal
being in rather brisk demand for holding over, the
transactions in this article were considerable, at 21s.
per load ; a few parcels of superior quality, in some cases,
realizing 21s. 3d.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUAR: 19. •
No variation has taken place in the several rates of duty on
Foreign produce from those of last week; that .on Colonial
Pease is raised to 28 per quarter.
Exclusive of some parcels of Wheat and Barley roundland,
and several vessels with Oats from Ireland, the supplies re-
ceived into this port within the past three days are small ; still,
with the exception of Oatmeal, for which there has been an
active speculative inquiry, the trade has ruled rather inanimate,
while at the same time, no purchases could have been made on
lower terms.

Upon a limited number of town and country millers at this
day's market, the transactions in Wheat were generally very
moderate in amount, but with unabated firmness on the part of
holders, English and Foreign remained steady in value; and
though in the common runs of Irish we have ho change to note,
one or two lots of superior quality realised an advance of Id per
;ans.—Flour of all descriptions fully maintained our last quo-
tations, but moved off less freely than on Tuesday.
Barley and Malt attended with a tolerable demand, were the
turn cheaper.—Beans and Pease, continuing to meet a slow
gradual sale, merely retained late prices.

- Oats, still coming forward rather sparingly, Scotch and Irish
were more readily saleable at a further amendment of Id per
bushel; Foreign likewise, have commanded some attention for
export, and about I 2,i0 qrs. have been sold in bond for that pur-
pose at 2s 8d to 2s gd per 451 b —Oatmeal, continuing in lively
request for investment, was held in consequence at 21, 6d to
21s pd per load ; which, being an advance of 6d over the extreme
rates of Tuesday, was reluctantly paid, and curtailing the de-
mand, the sales were not extensive.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 19.

With small supplies we have again to note a brisk market, and
n wheat a further advance of Is per barrel was obtained ; oats
and barley are without any material change, though in some in-
stances higher prices were given flour continues in fair re-
quest, and an advance of is per cwt. has been obtained since this
day se'nnight ; oatmeal remains without change.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JAN. 17.
During the present week higher rates were demanded for Eng-
lish Wheat, which millers are very reluctant to pay, In the ab
sencc of a rise in the retail price of Flour. but the sales reported
are at an advance of Is per qr. Maltiug Barley dull, and about
Is per qr lower; grinding unaltered. Oats and Beans firm, at
last week's prices.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 19.
There has not been a great attendance of buyers at this day's
market. The Wheat trade is firm, and although we do not en.
hence our quotations, rather better prices than la t week have
been obtained. Barley is slow sale at a small reduction in va-
lue. The demand for Oats, Shelling, and Beans is limited, yet
last week's prices are maintained.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 22.
A speculative inquiry has sprung up since our last, for all
descriptions of Buttnr ;—no higher prices are however yet
attainable ; though we must say, that holders evince the great-
est determination to enhance the value full 24 per cwt. Pickled
Butter is rather more sought after, and may be fairly noted Is
per cwt. higher. Beef and Pork are both more in demand, and
the latter is quite 2s 6d per barrel dearer. Bacon is a free sale,
and prices looking up. The primeut " family" American Beef
is wanted for India voyages. Other sorts entirely neglected.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 20.
Though the trade iu Wheat and Flour during the week has
not been brisk, it has been marked by much firmness and con-
fidence on the part of holders, and in the business done prices
have had an upward tendency.
The same has been the case in other markets of this district.
During the last two days there has been a considerable specu-
lative inquiry for Oats and Oatmeal, and some large transactions
have taken place at improving prices.
The arrivals of Irish Flour and Oatmeal, tnough less than of
late, are again moderately extensive. but, with these exceptions,
supplies generally from all quarters are small.
At our market this morning but little is done in Wheat; and
though a trifling advance may be obtained on select qualities,
we do not alter the currency of our last. Flour meets a slow
sale at an improvement of 6d to is per sack. The speculative
inquiry for Oats and Oatmeal has enhanced the price of the
former id per bushel, and of the latter 6d to gd per load ; but
consumers comply with this advance with great reluctance, and
limit their purchases to their present wants. Malt steady at last
Saturday's prices, and the same may be said of Beans.
The character of the market generally (in the absence of any
thing more than a moderate consumptive demand) exhibits
much firmness, and this observation applies to all articles.

LONDON CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 15.
The supply of Wheat was rather limited from Essex and
Suffolk. but moderately fair from Kent, with a short fresh arrival
of Barley from these counties, but a fair quantity was left over
from last week's liberal supply, and there were only a few ves-
sels fresh in with Oats, principally from Ireland, for this day's
market. After several changes in the weather during the past
week, it is now fine, sharp and frosty. There was a fair demand
for English Wheat, and in consequence of the short supply, com-
bined with a somewhat improved condition, an advance of Is
per qr was generally obtained, whilst for free foreign more in-
quiry was experienced, and this description must be considered
Is per qr dearer than last Monday; the secondary sorts are
most looked after for shipment coastwise. Flour met a better
sale, good marks, ex-ship being about Is per sack higher.
Much of the Barley left over was of middling quality, and this
sort was taken slowly at I s per qr decline. Malt was fully as
dear. Beans were witbont alteration in value. Peas were
held for more money, owing to the cold weather. There was a
fair business transacted in Oats, and the rates of this day
se'nnight were realised for all sorts. Linseed was much the
same as last week ; the few fresh cargoes in were held with
much firmness. Nothing of moment passing in Rapeseed, and
this article was unchanged in value.
