MANCHESTER CORN MARKET. JUNE 4

During the preceding fortnight, our millers and bakers had pur-
chased to a fair extent of Wheat and Flour, and this being followed
up by a week of the finest possible weather, the trade in thes e
articles since our last has been languid, and the turn of prices has
been in favour of the buyer. _

The value of Oats and Oatmeal has been forced up by large pur-
chases of the latter for Ireland, both at Liverpool and here, but we
have had no increase of demand from our usual sources.
At this day's market, we have but a limited inquiry for Wheat
and Flour, and though we make no alterations in our quotations
purchases of both might be made on somewhat easier terms than
on this day week. We raise our quotations for Oats ad per bushel;
and for Meal fully as per load, but it may be remarked that apart,
from the demand for Ireland. no seal cause for so extensive an
advance is at present apparent on this side the water. Conse-
quently our usual customers oppose it with much determination,
and limit their pureha,es as much as they possibly can. Inferior
and light Oats are stilLoffered without effect at nearly late rates.
Beans are held at rather Iligher prices. In Malt no variation.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JUNE 3.
The demand has been limited, and the sales of 8.P., are only
300 hhds., .without change in price. Nothing has been done in
Mauritius, but 1000 bags of Bengal have been disposed of, at figs
to 7i,s per cwt. for good white. In Foreign there are no sales to
report. Molasses.—The only sale to notice is 40 puns. ordinary
St. Vincent, at 28s per cwt. from the quay. Coffee.—A public sale
of Plantation, consisting of about 140 casks Jamaica, went off
irregularly, and at a decline, in some instances, of 5s to tis, con-
sequently a sale of 120 casks advertised for this day was withdrawn.
Owing to the delay of the new Tariff and the uncertainty at what
rates the duty will be fixed, the trade are little disposed to purchase,
except for their immediate wants. 50 brls. Trinidad sold at the
quotations. No sales of Foreign, nor of Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper or
Pimento. Rice.-20 toes. fine Carolina sold at 305, and 5000 bags
Bengal at lie to lls gd per cwt. B. P. Rum.—The demand is con-
fined to the finer descriptions, of which about 80 puns. have been
sold, also 20 puns. certified East India, averaging 31 per cent. 0. P.,

at 38 Per gallon.
There has been a better inquiry for Tea during the week, and
pricesmay be considered a shade higher.
The transactions in East India Drysaltery Produce have been
very limited indeed, comprising only so tons Cutch at 12s 3d, 5
tons Munjeet at 15s, and 75 chests Shell Lac at 36s to 553 per cwt.

Turpentine very sparingly, waiting for the completion of the new

sequence of this limited consumption, has increased greatly.—A
parcel of 450 brls. American Tar have been sold at 11s 3d.—The
sales of Montreal Pot and Pearl Ashes have been very trifling, but
previous prices have been obtained; the stock is now so much re-
duced, that the quantity remaining in the port is estimated not to
exceed 500 brls.—Hides. Salted River Plate have been in good
demand, and sales to some extent have been made, at 4id to 40
for Ox, and 42d sp lb for Cow, which is an advance of id slb on
previous rates.—Tobacco. The total sales last month were 520
hhds., viz. 250 Virginia leaf and 130 stemmad, 26 Kentucky leaf and
114 stemmed. So far this month the market has been quiet, and
the sales will amount to about 80 hhds., at steady prices.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 3.

Upon all Foreign and Colonial Grain and Flour, duties
remain unchanged for the ensuing week.
We continue to be fairly supplied with Foreign Wheat
direct from the north and south of Europe, and a further
quantity of Pease from the Baltic Ports, with which excep-
tions and a moderate quantity of Irish Oatmeal, arrivals of
the past three days are scarcely worth notice.
The want of animation existing in the wheat trade on
Tuesday last, has not been relieved by any improved symp-
toms intermediately np to this date : on the contrary, holders
of free Wheat have shown rather more inclination to sell,
and even a small decline in price, scarcely appeared likely
to produce much increase of demand.—ln bonded Wheat
and Flour also, the transactions during the same period were
limited in amount, but with little variation from the terms
previously noted. Oatmeal and Indian Corn, however,
were in lively request for Shipment to Ireland at advancing
rates ; whilst other articles remained stationary.
Upon a continuance of exceedingly fine weather, and a
very slender attendance of buyers this morning, all descrip-
tions of free Wheat were extremely difficult of sale, and de-
cidedly the turn cheaper.
The transactions in bonded Wheat, since our report of
Tuesday, include a parcel or two of Egyptian, at 6s. 3d. per
701bs. on the spot, with two cargoes of French, afloat, at 408.,
and one of Polish Odessa, at 525. per quarter, cost, freight,
and insurance ; but nothing more has been done to-day.
In Flour, under lock, no sales have transpired, and all
kinds available for consumption have moved off very sparing-
ly, at late prices.
Barley has met an increased enquiry for grinding, and must
be noted 3d. per bushel dearer. Beans, likewise, are held
on rather higher terms. Malt and Pease remain steady.
Oats, in the absence of any material supply, have realised
Id. to 2d. per 451bs. over Tuesday's currency, at which, how-
ever, few sales have been effected.
The large operations in Oatmeal, amounting to 8,000 to
10,000 sacks within the last two days, at 30s. to 31s. per
2401b5., have subsided this morning ; but Indian Corn, be-
ing still in request, commanded 45s to 46s per quarter of 480
lbs. •
