WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. MARCH 24.
Our arrivals of Grain are very moderate this week. The con-
tinued general depression of trade' in the manufacturing districts
has caused our dealers to work out of stock, whilst the reduced
rates have induced most holders to withdraw their samples. To-
day our spew of Wheat is small, the best conditioned New and
Old is I s per qr. dearer. and in second sorts there is more doing at
former prices. Fine Barly Is per qr. higher. Oats have advanced
id per st., and Shelling Is per load. Beans as before. No variation
in other articles.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 24.
Our market to-day, for a Good Friday, was moderately well sop.
plied with Beasts as to numbers, but their general quality was very
inferior. With the exception of the receipts from Scotland by sea,
which amounted to about 500 horned and polled Scots (only ar•e of
which were brought forward this morning, the remainder keing
kept back for Monday) the whole of them were the refuse of the
last market day. The attendance of buyers being numerous the
Beef trade was somewhat steady, but no improvement was noticed
in the quotations. Sheep, which were in short supply, sold freely
at full currencies, and a good clearance was easily effected. This
being the great Lamb market. the demand for all qualities was
brisk, and the best Essex Lambs produced 8s per 81b: The numbers
exhibited on this occasion were comparatively small, they being
nearly 13,ig; less than at the corresponding period of 1841. This
was attributed to the great losses caused by the 'epidemic in our
grazing districts. From the Isle of Wight only 100 Lambs came to
hand, whilst their prices ruled from Os to per 81b. The Veal and
Pork trade was firm at late rates. Milch Cows moved off slowly,
at front Lib to .t.'2o los each. By the quantities of Sibs, sinking
the offal.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET,
March 28. . .

The heavy stock of Potatoes at present on our market, has com•
pletely checked the demand, both the town and country dealers
anticipating a further decline in prices. ~There has been little or
no business of moment transacted to-day, and the market closed
exceedingly dull this evening. Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups is
10d to 2s per gab.
There is a pretty good sale for Turnips, and the best descriptions
of Sweedes commands 2gs per ton.
Our local markets arc only scantily supplied with all description
of agricultural produce, but for which there is only slow sale.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MARCH 25.
The demand has continued moderate throughout the week, hut
the better classes of American fully maintained their price, whilst
the lower qualities and other kinds are heavy of sale at the quota-
tions of Friday last. Speculators have taken 1800 American, and
Exporters ;50 American and 50 Surat. ;as Sea Island are declared

COTTON MARKET, IVlAucti 28.
We are entirely without change in our Cotton market ; the de-
mand on Saturday amounted to 25 0 bales, and to-day it has not
exceeded 3000 bales, at last week's prices. Eager week is a par-
tial holiday in Al anchester and the manufacturing districts generally
and that we must calculate upon even a quieter week than we have
lately had. The market is well supplied with Cotton, but holders
do not press their stocks, they arc nevertheless willing sellers at a
fair market price.
