LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 30.
Supplies of new Butter have become very abundant, and prices
have given way. Top Carlow and Kilkenny brands were sold about
the middle of the week at gos, and are now not worth more than
86s to 88s. Not much inquiry for Provisions, except for such as is
of the best description, which is scarce, and prices fully supported.
There is a fair demand for Bacon ; long middles fetching 46s to 48.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 27.
There is a good arrival of Wheat this week, but of other articles
small. Fine fresh new Wheat sold readily this morning at a further
advance of is per quarter, and there was a better demand for other
qualities at fully late prites. Grinding Barley more in request,
without much alteration in value. Beans and Mealing Oats
brought Is per quarter and id per stone advance, and spellings is
per load over the rates of last week.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, MAY 28.
Considerable firmness has characterised the trade during the
week, and a steady but not extensive business has been done. In
the prices of Wheat, Flour, and Oats no particular variation can be
noted. The value of Oatmeal has received an impulse, more from
the demand from Ireland than from any unusually increased en-
quiry for home consumption, and an advance of fully Is per load
has been established. Other articles have been firm at late rates.
Arrivals from Ireland are unusally small, and from other quarters
they aro very moderate. Continued scarcity of supply is still ex-
perienced in the agricultural market, which has again advanced
a step. A rather extensive business has been done at both Liver-
pool and Hull in Foreign Wheat and Flour, both in store and afloat,
at higher prices than were obtained last week. Though the weather
is everything that can be desired, and a plentiful supply of vegetables
may soon be expected, Potatoes have risen to 125 to 13s per load
of 2521bs or 8d to Sid per stone. We have a firm but quiet market
to-day. Fresh Wheats, and approved qualities of Flour', meet a
moderate sale at fully last week's rates. For only the finest
qualities of Oats have we any enquiry, and though such are held
for a small advance, we can hardly vary the quotations of our last.
The advanced price demanded for Oatmeal tends to restrict its sale :
the advance above notedis, however, established upon good qualities.
Beans and Malt steady at late prices.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
May 30.

Since the 26th instant, the arrivals of Potatoes into this port is
comprised in about half a dozen cargoes from Scotland and Ireland,
and one from Guernsey, and from general report, the great bulk
is now cleared away from the principal shipping ports. Under such
circumstances, holders are exceedingly firm, anti are not disposed
to sell unless very extensive prices can be realized; on the other
hand our retail trade purchase in the most sparing manner, con-
sequently the business is chiefly confined to country dealers,
although they are exceedingly loth to give the prices required,
nevertheless the present stock in dock have chiefly passed into
second hands before the close of business this evening. Scotch
and Irish Cups 3s 6d to 3s Bd, Gurnsey Blues 3s 5d to as ad, Cattle
2s 6d to 3s, Apples 3s 6cl to is per 90 lbs.
Our local markets continue to be well supplied with all descrip-
tions of agricultural produce, for which farmers experiences a good
demand. _ _ _ _

Our import list beneath shows the most scanty general
arrival we have had for a long time, the only item worth
notice being 3,250 qrs. foreign Wi.eit, about one-half from
the Mediterranean, and the remainder from the. Baltic : a
few parcels of Oats and Oatmeal are reported to Runcorn
from Ireland, but scarcely anything thence or coastwise di-
rect to this port.
The late advance, though not important in itself, appears
to have discouraged for the moment any disposition on the
part of our own millers to purchase duty-paid Wheats
freely, and we have had also a less general speculative in-
clination to invest in bonded within the past few days; yet,
with some demand for Irish account, in addition to that for
borne consumption, a moderate business has been done
since Tuesday, in which prices have been very firmly sup-
ported.
Having very few country millers at this day's market, and
our home dealers exercising a greater degree of forbearance
than of late, English and Foreign Wheats, duty paid, expe-
rienced a limited demand only • but holders remaining firm,
Tuesday's rates were supported, and good samples of Irish,
owing to its former low relative value, was the turn dearer.
Flour, both English and free foreign, was in slow request
at our last quotations ; whilst of Irish, a few parcels have
been taken for re-shipment on rather higher terms.
Several parcels of bonded Wheat have changed hands to-
day, and rather more money has been realized upon some
of the lower descriptions : the sales since Tuesday comprise
Barletta, is. sd. to 7s. 6d., Common Odessa, 6s. 6d. to
6s. 9d., Egyptian, ss. 9d. to 6s. per 701bs. in store here,
with some transactions in Baltic at full prices : a cargo of
fine Ancona, afloat, has brought 51s per qr., including
freight and insurance.
Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease continued to move off
sparingly and in retail quantities merely, at our lask.quota-
tions.
Oats, attended with an increased demand, acquired an ad-
vance of ld. per 45 lbs. ; and Oatmeal was held steadily at
an improvement of 6d. per 240 lbs.
