On Thursday, at Bristol, very little business doing.
A small supply of English wheat sold at rather over
last week's prices ; foreign stocks are reduced to a
very small compass, and buyers have to pay full rates
for their immediate requirements. In malting barley
nothing doing; for grinding sorts there is a good
trade, at unaltered prices. Maize sells in retail at
our quotations. Oats in better request, at the extreme
rates of last week. Arrivals i—Wheat, 590 qrs.

At Devizes a small supply of wheat at market,
with a better trade than for some time past ; prices
generally may be quoted at is per quarter better.
Barley trade was very slow, with prices in favour of
buyers.
On Friday, at Nlark•Lane, the market was steady
on the whole, but business was very far from active.
The supplies of English wheat were larger, while those
from abroad were good. The condition of the produce
also had materially improved, and in the few sales
effected the rates previously current were maintained.
Barley was very dull, and offers of less money were
not generally refused. Malt was difficult to move, and
prices remained weak. Oats were abundant, but there
was nevertheless more animation in the demand, and
sound corn realised an advance of fid per quarter. For
maize likewise the trade was firm, and the quotations
were somewhat higher. Beans, as well as peas, were
quiet, and withot appreciable alteration. Flour met
with a limited inquiry, and barley made late prices.—
At Andover trade was brisk, late quotations quietly
maintained. —At Coventry wheat sold at late rates,
without any advance in price at all.—At Derby wheat
sold at full prices of last week.—At Dublin foreign
wheat in good demand, at full prices. Irish wheat
taken freely at late rates. Flour in fair demand, at
full prices.—At Lincoln prices were slightly in favour
of the buyer.—At Liverpool a moderate business in
wheat, prices are firmer, though not quotably higher.
Flour steady. Indian corn moved rather slowly at 6d
to sid per qr. over the quotations of Tuesday.—At
Stamford wheat sold freely at Is rise. Barley might
have been bought 8d to is chaper than last week.—At
Wakefield English wheat small, and buyers have to
pay rather more than last week to supply their require.
