LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MAY 30

At this day's market we have had a small supply of Beef, and
prices ruled high; prime Beef making 6d to 7d, middling 6d; the
supply of Sheep and Lambs was somewhat larger, and last week's
prices were fully supported ; prime Wether yid, Shearlings did,
Lambs varying according to quality from ens to 30s. Beasts 606;
Sheep and Lambs 6048.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY M.
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 90s, 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 prices. Grinding Barley more in request,
without much alteration in value. Beans and Mealing Oats
brought Is per quarter and id per stone advance, and shellings 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 are 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 lest week. Though the weather
is everything that can be desired, and a plentiful supply of vegetables
may soon be expected, Potatoes have risen to 12s to 13s per load
of 2521bs or Sd 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, and 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 as Bd, Gurnsey Blues 3s 5d to 3s Bd, Cattle
2s 6d to 3s, Apples 3s 6d to 4s 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. _ . .
