in the prices of any other. grain.

•NaNrairrat. -The was • full attendance at the
Sowehampton Corn-Exchange with rather more offering
than lest week. Good wheat, both old and new, may be
said to have sold readily at prima slightly in 'advance
of the previous week's rates. Malting barley, of which
their was a liberal supply, was dull. Oat*, beans, and
peas were in steady request at the prima quoted. Old
wheat, fin. to Rs, per qr. ; new, 40s.- to 62e. ; malting
barley, "345. to 40s. ; grinding, inquired for, 26e. to 305.,

to at.: per sack, mid very firm. At Alton market there
tem A moderate ehew of wheat, and all best dry samples
mold al the full rates of the previous week, while inferior
parcels were with difficulty disposed of at relatively low
prioes. Barley was in pretty good supply, and prices
a little easier. _ Oets were the turn lower, and beans
and peas sold freely at former rates. Wheat may be
quoted at £9 to El 4 lOs. per load; barley. 286. to 44..;

THI OATTLI THAD&
Raiff. Dec. 9.-Tiere was a fair show of meat which
add at the following rates per stone of 81b. :-Beef,
4a. 4d. to 4s. led.; mutton, 4s. 64. to 4s. 10d. lamb,
to ffis. fld.•; veal, ss. to 6s. 4d. ; pork, 45.44. to 4e. Sd.
-Nearly all the markets in this and the
adOlnlng districts are now closed. On the whole this
has a tendency to send up tte price of beef, which is
list now in active demand, at prices which range from
2s. to 14s. the score. Mutton is also very firm, 80.
fled per lb. being the general currency for sinythg
nod. A fair trade is done in pigs, bacon qualities
asking about 10s. 6d. per score, and porkers lie. 64. to
, 2s, In store cattle trade is very irregular, and reliable
quotations cannot be got at.
Devouring*, Dec. 8.-There was a good inquiry for
sheep at the Exeter cattle-market at full prices.
Wethera, small, Bd.; large ditto, Bd.; ewes, 70. to
7td. ; and bombe, 8& per lb. The market remains
closed against the admission of honied besets. During
the part week the plague has broken out in the neigh-
bourhood of Exeter. It is supposed to have been im-
ported from Cornwall. The quotations for besets
remain unaltered. Beet beef, 12a. to 12e. 6d. ; inferior,
3d. to lie. 9d. ; and barreners, 7s. 6d. per score.
Cows and calves, £lO he £l7. Butchers' ealves, 70. to
84. per lb.
WARIMPITIII.-Our market was largely attended.
The supply of wheat was small, and, there being a brisk
demand, an active trade was done, at the full prices of
last week to • slight advanse. Some very good and
heavy partials were on offer, and made h .cis; 56e,
was refused for one parcel of old wheat, an M.. was
made for another. Beet qualities of new made 49•.. to
53a., and emondary and Inferior ranged from 42,. np.
ward.. The supply of barley here to-day was large,
but nearly al was of indifferent quality. There was •
good attendance of resisters, but the trade was far from
active. The beet qualities made about the prices of last
week, but other aorta were slow of sale, and to effect a
clearance a reduction most have been submitted to ;
41s. was the highest prices we heard of, and grinding
qiulitites made 265. to 32..; secondary malting
qualities, 345. to 38a. In spring corn there was a quiet
trade doing, at fully recent rates. Oats, from 225.
to 324. ; beans 44a. to 565. ; peas, 425. to 52e. Flour is
firm, at from 335. to 375. per seek.
