Liverpool, Feb. 15.-The arrivals of Wheat and Oats have been again considerable, whilst the demand for each kind of Grain was very limited throughout the past week, at barely the prices of Tuesday last generally, but lower prices on the few sales effected were submitted to, except for Barley and Malt, on which there was an advance of 2d. per bushel. At this day's market, which was thinly attended, Wheat might have been purchased at a decline of 2d., and Oats 1d. per bushel, at their respective weights.

Norwich, Feb. 19.-This market was very dull to-day; Wheat fetched from 60s. to 68s.; very fine samples 70s.; Barley, 30s. to 45s. Oats, 25s. to 33s. per quarter.

Bristol, Feb. 20.-The prices of Corn, &c. at this market continue nearly as per last week's statement.

Birmingham, Feb. 17.-The quotations of last week are fully supported throughout the trade to-day. Barley of fine quality has obtained 2s. per quarter, and Flour 1s. per sack in advance thereupon.

Ipswich, Feb. 19.-We had to-day a short supply of all Grain. The sale was extremely dull, and prices lower, as follow:-Wheat, 60s. to 73s. Barley, 30s. to 44s.; Beans, 35s. to S7s.; Pease, S6s.; and Oats, 24s. to 28s. per quarter.

Wisbech, Feb. 19.-The Wheat offering to-day being generally in bad condition, may be called about 1s. per quarter cheaper, except for fine dry samples. In Oats and Beans no material alteration. Red Wheat, 54s. to 58s.; fine, 63s. to 65s; white ditto, 66s. to 68s. Oats, 16s. to 20s.; fine, 22s. to 24s. Beans, 38s. to 40s, Grinding Barley 14d. per stone. Brown Mustard, fine, 10s. to 12s. per bushel.

Wakefield, Feb. 18.-There is a good supply of Grain for this day's market. Having very little choice Wheat offering, this description maintains last week's prices; but other qualities are extremely dull sale, at a decline at 1s. to 2s. per quarter. The mealing trade remaining dull, causes the Millers to purchase sparingly. The sale for Barley is nearly confined to the best samples, which are 1s. per quarter lower; the inferior descriptions are nearly neglected, though offered at a reduction of full 2s. per quarter from the currency of this day se'nnight. In Oats and Shelling there is no material alteration. New Beans are nearly unsaleable, unless hard and dry, of which there are few at market; such maintain their value. There is no inquiry for Rapeseed, and higher prices are asked, but not many sales made. Wheat, old, 60s. to 70s.; new, 62s. to 72s. per 60 lbs.; Barley, old, 34s. to 36s.; new, 38s. 45s. ; fine, 45s. per quarter; Beans, new, 48s. to 50s.; fine, 52s. per 63 lbs.; Oats, 26s. to 28s. per quarter; Mealing Oats, 1341. per stone; Shelling, new, 33s.; Malt, 42s. to 48s.; and Flour, 50s. to 52s. per load. Rapeseed, 20l. to 291. per last.

Malton, Feb. 19.-There has been but little variation in prices of Corn since last week:-Wheat, 68s. to 74s. per qr. five stone per bushel; Barley, 38s. to 43s., to weigh 32 stone; Oats, 11d. to 12}d. per stone.

Yarmouth, Feb. 17.-Our market was well supplied with Grain on Saturday: Wheat was 2s. per quarter cheaper. Barley was ready sale at 2s. to 3s. per quarter advance. In other Grain no alteration.

COUNTRY CATTLE AND MEAT MARKETS, &c.
