We have a better supply of English wheat offering to.
day, for which our farmers are asking • considerable
advance; but as Liverpool, on Tuesday, did not respond
to the advance in London of the previous day, buyers are
very shy, and only take sufficient for their immediate
requirementa, at an advance of one shilling over last
week's prices. Foreign wheat is in short supply and
sells slowly at a similar advance. Malting barely is very
dull and slightly cheaper, but grinding aorta are scarce
and fully AS high. Beans and peas are Is. per qr. dearer.
Oats only take in retail at present oomparitively high
rates. Flour is Is. per sack dearer.

At the principal provincial corn markets on Saturday
last, the supply of wheat from the growers was small,
and the trade ruled dull at an advance of Is. per quarter
over last week's currencies for the best qualities. Infe-
rior sorts were without change. There was very little
barley on offer, the season for malting barley being
nearly over, and the trade was heavy at last week's rates.
There was a good demand for beans, at an advance of Is.
per quarter. Oats scarce, at the quotations of the pre-
vious week.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, fifer 1.
Foreign wool has met with more inquiry, and prices
are somewhat firmer in some cases, which has rather
limited the business; for buyers, while willing to pur-
chase more freely, are not disposed to pay an advance.
There has been rather more doing in Scotch, at previous
rates. The public sales, which closed on the 17th ult.,
having fully supplied the present limited requirements
of the trade, the business done since by private contract
has been mostly of • retail nature, without any change
in prices worth reporting. Before our next monthly re-
port we shall see how prices of home wools open at the
clip, which will exercise considerable influence on
foreign descriptions; we do not think that they will
rule as low as limy people seem to expect.
