MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND

TALLOW MARKET, JUNE

We have had another dear market both for Beef and Mutton.
The supply of Beef was small, a large number very inferior guilty,
which made good 13 eef dearer than last week. Mutton was likewise
worse to-buy, particularly light Sheep, which fetched near 7d per
lb. There was more Lambs iu than has been before this season,
and good Lamb maintained last week's price. Beef being dearer
made Lamb and Mutton more sought after. A large number of
Sheep were disposed of to purchasers for Preston, and likewise
some purchases for Ireland. Best Beef 7d to 7id, middling and
inferior 6d to 7d ; Mutton 6id to 7d, Lamb 7d to 8d per lb.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JUNE 1.
During the present week, owing to the subdued tone of the Lon-
don and Liverpool markets, we have had less briskness in the
Wheat trade, but holders are generally demanding fully last week's
prices, which have been realized on fine samples of Red and White
Wheat, both English and foreign. In malting Barley little passing,
the season being so far advanced that many misters have ceased
buying. Irish Oats are still neglected, though English have become
less plentiful. Beans support previous rates.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
JUNE 2.
The supply of Potatoes since the 30th ultimo is trifling—yet the
stock in dock, has been quite equal to the demand, the high prices,
having materially checked the operations of both our town retail
trade, and country deales—and although there is no actual decline
from the current rates of Monday, yet the market closed ex-
ceedingly heavy. Manx, Scotch, and Irish Cups 3s fid to 3s 9d,
Guernsey Blues 3s Gd to 3s Bd, Apple 3s Gd to 4s, Cattle 2s Gd to 3s
per gOlb.
Our local markets are well supplied with all descriptions of
agricultural produce, which command ready saie at the under-
noted quotations, viz.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 30.

We have had a better supply of English Wheat this morning
than for some time past. The trade opened fully as dear for all
fine samples, and a clearance was made before the close of the
market at about the same prices as on this day se'nnight. Bonded
Wheat was held firmly, and a good deal of business has been done,
chiefly in floating cargoes, at fully late prices. Barley supports last
week's currency. Beans and Peas steady at Monday's rates. We
are tolerably well supplied with English Oats, which continue to
meet a ready sale, but only the best sorts of Irish maintain
the prices of this day week. Light weathered parcels are very
difficult to dispose of although on rather lower terms.

WEDNESDAY, May 1

The trade has been remarkably dull this morning, and the prices
are all nominally the same as on Monday last. The supplies of
Wheat and Oats are larger than usual, but the holders are unwilling
to accept lower prices; and the extreme fineness of the weather is
against any advance in prices, although the accounts from the
agricultural counties represent the stocks of grain as rapidly be-
coming exhausted.
