MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, MAY 14.
Though the transactions of the week have been by no means
extensive, the trade has been characterised by increasing firmness,
and in the business done the prices of our last have been fully
supported, In the agricultural districts the improvement has been
of a most decided character, supplies are small, and Wheat is
generally Is to 2s per quarter higher, other articles sharing in the
tendency to advance. This, under the present cireumstances of
most favourable weather, the coming into operation of the new
law, and the consequent facility of introduction of a supply of
foreign grain, would lead to conclusion that stocks in farmers'
hands are light,
Though there has been no improvement in the demand for Oats
and Oatmeal, full prices have been reouired for both; and the
reports from Ireland state that the supplies from that country must
be small up to harvest. A fair extent of business has been done at
Liverpool in bonded Wheat at former prices, and many lots have
been withdrawn from the market. We have again had some rain,
succeeded by warm
._sun, and the weather is, altogether, of the
first order. At our market this morning we have a very scanty
supply of new English Wheat, which sells readily at an advande of
gd to 3d per bushel ; other descriptions are in moderate request, at
fully late rates. Fresh Flour is scarce, and the best qualities are
held for an advance of is per sack. Good qualities of Oats and
Oatmeal attract rather more attention than of late, and may be
quoted 1 d per bushel and 6d per load dearer. Secondary and in-
ferior descriptions are still without demand. Some inquiry for
meal is springing up from Ireland. Fine Beans are is per quarter
higher, with a moderate sale. ood arcels of Malt are held
firmly for full prices. The trade, G
on the whole, bears a tolerably
firm aspect.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 13.
Sugar.—ln consequence of the late arrivals, and the flat accounts
from the London market, holders have submitted to rather lower
prices, and the sales are 250 hhds. B. P., at the reduced quotations.
8700 bags Mauritius have also been disposed of at 64s to 69s per
cwt., and 1000 bags Bengal, at 675 for strong yellow, and 71s per
cwt. for good white. Foreign.-120 cases Pernambuco have been
sold to the Refiners, at 13s for ordinary old, to 16s for fair new
brown, and 16s 6d for ordinary old, to 20s for middling new white ;
likewise 160 cases new brown Bahia, to arrive, at 17s per cwt. de-
livered in the warehouse. Molasses.—The recent arrivals having
been generally brought into the market, and the sales amount
nearly to 900 puns., consisting of 400 puns. Barbadoes and 130 puns.
Antiguan, at 335, and 200 puns. Nevis at 28s 6d per cwt., all from
the quay; a parcel of 140 puns. Trinidad has also been sold at 30s
per cwt. to arrive. Coffee.—The sales of Plantation have been
very moderate, comprising about 40 casks of Jamaica, at the
quotations. Nothing done in other descriptions. 100 bags
Barbadoes Ginger sold at 41s per cwt., and 1200 bags black Pepper
at 3id to 4d per lb. No sales of Cocoa or Pimento. Rice.-2 too
bags Bengal sold at lls9d to 12s per cwt. for good to fine new. In
Rum no sales are reported.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 13.
Our arrivals this week are moderate. The demand for Wheat
this morning was chiefly confined to fine parcels of new, upon
which an advance of fully is to 2s per quarter was obtained, other
sorts sold without any improvement in value. 7he malting season
being now over, Barley was neglected. Beans and Peas were is
per quarter dearer. Oats and Shellings the same as last week.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 16

... ....
There is a good demand for first rate brands of New Butter, but
at a little less money. Waterford and Carlow we call 94s to 965.
Old Butter has become a dead letter. Provisions of prime quality
maintain their position. Bacon also is well supported.
