SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 22

The supply of beef at our market to-day has been better than last
week, and a little easier to buy. Mutton and lamb was fully dearer
than this day week, but the supply was rather better, and things
mostly sold up. Beef 6d. to 7d., mutton 6.id. to 7d., and lamb 7d.
to Bd. per lb.

MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND
TALLOW MARKET, JUNE 15.

The price of hides under 601bs. 135., above 60 lbs. 3d. per lb. ;
calf skins 4d. to sd. per lb.; pelts and skins gd. to Is. Tallow
4s. gd. per stone of 14 lbs.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 20.

The supply of Beasts to-day at market was rather short, but of
Sheep and Lambs large. Calves and Pigs were an average num.
ber. The change in the weather has not altered the tone of the
market, the trade to-day being equally as:heavy as on Monday last.
and prices are very similar; the only variation to notice is Veal
of the primest quality selling at 4s lod per stone, and inferior
Lamb 4s sod. The only description of meat which sold readily
to-day was LaMb, but no advance in price was given. (Per stone
of Slb, sinking the offal.)

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JUNE 22.
During the present week the transactions reported in wheat are
trilling, but we do not alter the quotations of last week. There has
been some enquiry fbr grinding barley, but holders demand more
than speculators are inclined to give, and little is wanted for con-
sumption. Beans were less in request, the fine rains we have
experienced since Saturday having much benefited the growing
crops. Oats are held at former rates, but to effect sales of Irish a
reduction of 6d. per quarter must be submitted to.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 20.

The Corn trade during the past week has been on the whole
tolerably good, both in reference to prices and demand., The
arrivals of English Wheat during the week were about equal to
those of the previous one, but of Foreign they were more abun-
dant. The continued dryness of the weather had the effect of
keeping prices in a buoyant condition, and good qualities of Corn
of all descriptions meet a free sale, at rather advanced rates. To
this morning's market the supply fresh up was a made one of
Wheat and Spring Corn, and Wheats have barely maintained last
Monday's quotations. Barley is in moderate demand, at full prices.
Oats are short in supply from Ireland, and good qualities fully com-
mand the late advance. Beans for fine descriptions are not cheaper,
but other sorts meet a slow sale. In Peas no alteration. The
Flour trade remains perfectly quiet. For Seeds there is an im-
proved demand, at advanced rates.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 21

The arrivals into this port since Tuesday last, contain a
moderate quantity of Wheat, Oats, and Malt, Coastwise and
from Ireland, but little or other Grain, Flour, or Oatmeal
thence ; whilst direct from various parts of the North arid
South of Europe, we have to note a further liberal supply of
Wheat, amounting to upwards of 15,000 qrs., with 2850
qrs. of Egyptian Beans, 3824 barrels and 490 sacks of Flour,
as stated below. In addition to these imports, several car-
goes of Foreign Grain are up this morning, but too late to
ascertain the particulars for insertion to-day.
Preceded by very dry weather last week, we have had in

.• • ..... •-• J - J 4
the course of Sunday, yesterday, and to-day, fine genial
rains, the beneficial effects of which are already conspicuous
in the appearance of all the growing crops around us.
The favourable change in the weather has produced, un-

questionably, a depressing effect upon the trade generally this
morning : under the impression, however, of the duty on
Wheat receding this week, fine qualities of foreign were
offered 2d., and ordinary kinds 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs.
below the currency of this day se'nnight ; at which the mil-
lers were induced to purchase to a moderate extent, chiefly
for delivery after Friday next. Home-made and Irish Flour
must be noted ls. per sack, and Foreign, duty paid, 6d. per
barrel cheaper, with a very limited demand for each.
Barley, Beans, and Pease, having met very little inquiry,
hardly sustained former prices ; Malt, on the contrary, was
in some request, and fully maintained the rates of Tuesday
last. _ . . . .

••11.0.4,•
The demand for Ireland having subsided, and.country
dealers extremely inactive, Oats declined ld. per 45 lbs., and
Oatmeal Is. per 240 lbs. ; at which, very few transactions
were practicable.
The Bonded market still excites little attention, only one
sale having been made, of 500 barrels best States' Flour, at
28s. 9d.
