a coarse heavy Quality, and the trade exceedingly dull for that
description of 'lock, while prime heifers readily made bid per lb.;
middling 5d to &id; bulls and segs 4d to 4id per lb. The supply
of Sheep was large. and a reduction of id per lb. Prime Wethers
7d, middling bid per lb. sinking the offal. Number of Beast 1030,

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MARCH 21.
The supplies of English Wheat are moderate, but of Foreign we
have a further arrival of 15,576 qrs, and 600 sacks of Flour. The
condition of the English samples of .Wheat is very bad, and to
make sales, a decline of to 45 have been submitted to. There is
a fair retail trade for good Foreigen, at is to 2s decline. The trade
for Barley is very inanimate, and no improvement in prices. Oats
are small in supply, and limited in demand, at the reduced currency
noticed below. Beans and Peas of all kinds are difficult to dispose
of, on last week's terms. There is but little doing in ship Flour.
and town made has declined 3S per sack. Seeds withoutany material
variation.

WEDNESDAY, March 23.
;;,The market has again been very stagnant this morning ; the
business being only in the retail trade, at the rates nominally of
the last market day. The English Wheat is of very bad quality ;
and on Monday the price was consequently 3s per quarter lower,
as much of the Wheat is obliged to be kiln dried, although the
season is far advanced. Good samples of Oats arc becoming
scarce, and .this article is expected to be. higher; but no decided
advance has been obtained to-day.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET,
March 24.

We have a further heavy import of Potatoes to report since the
21st instant. • The market has closed very heavy this evening, with
every tendency to lower prices. Both the town and country dealers
confining their operations barley to supply their immediate con-
sumption, and the little business passing has been done at a reduc-
tion of Id to 2d. Manx, Scotch, and Irish Cups I sloe to 2s Id per9olb.
There is also an extensive arrival of Turnips, but for which the
demand is good, and our late currency is fully maintained.
Our local markets are only scantily supplied with our neighbour-
ing agricultural produce, for the general runs of which they
experience a good sale.
