SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 30.
We have had a short supply of Beef and Mutton at market to-
day, and consequently was easier to buy than last week. Best
Beef from 64d to 62d, middling and inferior 52d to 64d, best Mutton
tied to 7d, middling 6d to 61 per lb. All sold up in Beef, but o
Sheep a few unsold.

MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND
TALLOW MARKET, MARCH 39.
The price of heavy Hides has declined, and above Bulbs aid per lb,
under tio 12s each. Large skins (Irish and Yorkshire) 5s to tis
Cheviots and half-bred 4s to 5s ; Scotch 2s 6d to 3s 6d. Tallow 5s
per stone of 141bs.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 30.
During the preseet week, owing to the advance in some of the
leading markets, holders of Wheat asked higher prices, but buyers
deferred purchasing at more money. and little has changed hands
in consequence. Best malting Barley maintained its value. In
Oats and Beans no alteration.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, ivr
—ARCH 28.
The number of Cattle fresh up to this morning's market was very
small, and with those remaining unsold on Friday last, made but a
small supply for this morning's market, although proving to be
more than sufficient for the wants of the market, the trade being
very little better than we have had to notice for a long time past.
The supply of Sheep and Lambs comprise not more than 16,720
head. The first and middling quality of Beef fetched somewhat
better prices than for several markets past, as also Mutton, for all
sorts, by about 2d per stone, but the trade moved heavy. The de-
mand for Lamb was very dull, and full 8d per stone lower prices
was made, choice quality selling at 7s 4d, and inferior bs 4d. In
Veal or Pork there is nothing to remark. (Per stone of Sibs,
sinking the offal.)

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MARCH 28.
The supply of English Wheat sas much less than on this day
se'imight, and the condition has not improved. The millers bought
rather freely, but at no improvement in our currency. There was
a good demand for foreign at full prices. and in a few instances is
more was realised. A demand sprung up for bonded Wheat on
Wednesday last, and some cargoes changed hands, bat at higher
rates than paid on that day there is no inclination to purchase.
Barley remains as last quoted, and Peas and Beaus of all sorts,
although in short supply, are unaltered in value. Best Oats are is
dearer ; other sorts remain the same: The holders of Clover Seed
are pressing sales, and a further decline n has take place.
WEDNF SIMI', March 30.
The business has been again very small this morning, and the
prices are the same as on the last market day. Rather more
attention has been paid to bonded Wheat during the last three
markets, and an advance of about is per qr. has been obtained.
Prime samples of Oats are also rather firmer in price.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 29.
A very quiet and inanimate market to-day ; the business
altogether has not exceeded 1200 bales, without any change
in prices. Exporters are inquiring for good Cotton, but'
cannot make much progress.

COTTON MARKET, MARCH 31.
We continue without any increased demand in our Cotton market,
On Tuesday 1200 bales were sold, yesterday 2500, and to-day, 3000
at similar prices to last week, or, perhaps, we may quote American
descriptions below fair a litte easier, though not amounting to id
per lb. No symptoms of improvement have yet been. manifested,

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET,
March 31.

The Potatoe market continues in an exceedingly stagnated state.
with little prospect at present of a speedy improvement, owing to
the anxiety of holders to force sales at almost any sacrifice—the
season being now at hand when this root rapidly sprits and vege-
tates on board vessels, which renders them very unsaleable.
Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups now rule from Is 8d to Is 11d per
901 b. The great bulk of the late importation of Turnips is now
cleared away at from 2..1s to 30s per ton for the best Sweeds.
Onr local markets for the sale of our neighbouring farmers pro-
duce have only been scantily supplied with Potatoes; there is a
fair quantity of Hay exhibited.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 29.
We are but moderately supplied with Wheat, Oats, and
Oatmeal from Ireland, and the arrivals coastwise, as well as
from abroad, are collectively very limited this week, as will
be seen on reference to the import note below.
The millers and dealers, who have for some time past been
waiting a termination to the debates up )n the Corn Bill, and
relief from a portion of the Wheat and Flour in bond, seem
disappointed by the delay ; and the stock in the hands of
many being greatly diminished, such are at length obliged to
purchase, at least for immediate purposes :—we had, accord-
ingly, a good attendance of buyers to-day, and most descrip-
tions of English, Irish, and Foreign free Wheats, realized a
further advance upon the improved rates of Thursday, thereby
increasing our quotations 4d to sd, and, in partial instances,
6d per 701bs over those of this day week, at which a fair ex-
tent of business was transacted. Towards the close of the
market, however, sales were not so readily effected, and the
latter amendment was scarcely maintained.
The general qualities of English and Irish Flour were Is.
for sack, and Foreign duty-paid Is. to Is. 6d. per barrel
dearer than on Tuesday last, with a tolerable demand for
each.
In bond, Wheat and Flour have met a fair inquiry, but
holders requiring higher prices, seems to have checked any
further business, and no additional sales have transpired
to-day.
Although Barley is in short supply, and Malt, Beans, and
Pease continue in slow request, no change in value is appa-
rent.
Oats, of which very few good samples were offered, com-
manded more attention, and fine Irish rather exceeded 3s
per 451bs.
Oatmeal was also taken off rather freely, and prime marks
were saleable at our improved currency annexed.
