WARMINSTER. —A large attendance, and • windier.
able supply of corn. The best qualities of wheat
realised 58s. to 62a., and seoondary and inferior front
50a. to CAL The ample. of barley shown showed the
elects of the rat',, some of them being in • wretched
condition, and selling as low es 30a. and 31e, There
was a fair offer of good malting qualities, for which the
demand was active, at former piteee to •Idight adeanee;
46e. to 52a. was the range of quotations. In other coin
the business done was small. Oats come in very slowly

to 60s. per qr. Barley is fully as dear, and very high
prime are made for arty good parcel. Malting qualities

46a, mid old up to 60. Peas are almost a nominal

HAIIPBHIIIL —Me trade in barley at the Southamp•
too Coro-Ezotanse -Oa in nOnlOtly MO excited a etas',
but the prices of last week were maintained, and for
grinding aorta more money waa given. Old wheats, with
good weight attached, were taken at coin me rate., but
damp and 'middling panels owe neglected. Beans were
the turn dearer. For oatethere was a fair oonsumptive
demand at the turn against buyers. Wheat, good new

'WILTRhRL
Several fairs have been held this
meek. At Downton, formerly a large mart for horned
cattle, there was very little business done. Sheep•
pigs, and horses were in mall supply, and sold slowly
at about former rates. At Tarnborotigh Castle fair the

Soneastminiam —Store stock is now in good demand
In this district, and a fair amount of basinees is done by
private sale, at high prices. The county orders are
very strictly enforced, as the plague persistently re-
appears in one pirt of the county. The beef trade is
fairly active at Arm rates, 12s. to 13a. per score being
anode firr best, and IS.. 6d. upwards for inferior,
Mutton also Mils steadily at 91. to 91d. per lb. for best.
800 'VI Op, from the supply, are reduced in price, 10..
to 10s. 3d. the more befog the current figure. Hay is
rather cheap on account of the abundance of keep, and
the very good atop of roota.
