posed to accede to. The little buts'ness transacted in Wheat
was at 2s. advance. The quantity of other grain on sale
was so s n.lll as to he hardly worthy of notice.
GLOUCIATaIt, August 7.—With a continuance of wet
weather m.d wone opinions entertained of our local Wheat
crop, farmers were very reluctant sellers at this Ix3'o mar-
ket, and the few purchases made were r.t Is. to 2s. ehance.
Foreign was in active request, and a largo quantity changed
hands, at fully 24. per qr. more. Beans move off slowly, at
former rates. Barley 'reels, offered at 6,1. to Is. per qr. less
money. In Oats very little business passing, prices r,nitin-
ing nominally the same. Imports of the week ending
August 7: Wheat, 6,85.5 qrs.; Barley, 2,568 ; Oats, 626 ;
Beans, 610; Pell, 68.

GUILDFORD, August 7.—The weather tiering the put
week has been too showery to allow of new Wheat being
received at market to-day. The sem,unts received of the
crop were of the same unsatisfactory nature. Much higher
prices were demanded, and there was only a limited sale, at
2.. per qr. advance. Wheat, 40s. to 52,. Barley, 28s. to
325. Oats, 19s. to 235. New Peas, 335. to 3.55.

finnvvoLD, August 7.—The market to-day thinly supplied
with Wheat ; the boat samples made Is. per load mote money ;
still wo bad no improvement in inferior samples. Batley
made last week's prices. Oats a dull trade. Yeas end
Beans sold at less money. Wheat, from 23s to 31s. per
load. Barley, 245. to Bic per qr. Oats, 17s. to 24*.
Tess, Ws. to 235. per load. Beans, 20s. to 235. ltye,
164. to 18s.

MAN CIIRSTIIR, Ate UST 7. The weather during
the week has been showery, but has not exercised
any perceptible influence on the trade here, the demand for
flour, although htlfileit'nt to takeoff the present limited sap-
plies of froth-mado households and whites, having been
devoid of animation • whilst for oatmeal there hu s.nrcely
been any inquiry. ditastwise and from Ireland the arrivals
into Liverpool and ltuneorn are again only on a moderate
scale; but the importations from abroad are extensive. At
our market this morning the improved terraria from London,
Liverpool, and Wakefield, caused folders to demand en hawed
rates for fresh wheat and flour; but in the business trans
acted the improvement was not sufficiently marked to enable
us to alter our quotations. Oats and oatmeal, met a slow sale
without change in value.

MXWCARTLII•tirost-Tvgr, August 7.—The arrivals of
foreign and English Wheat are to a fair extent; h•ilders
have evinced more firmness, and declined selling unless at
an advance. We had a good supply of Wheat from the
country to-day, for which the farmers asked more money,
but the millers being well zupelied with foreign from the
receut arrivals, by holding back were enabled in the end
to buy oa last week's terms. Scarcely any transactions re-
sulted in foreign; holders required an advance, which not
being complied with, the great bulk was held over for next
week. We have been well supplied with Flour from Nor-
' folk this week, but dealers being short in stock were free
buyers, and a good el, 'ranee hes bet n effected of the best
marks of households at 29.., and whites at 31s. per sack.
The supply of foreign Barley being rather large, it has been
necessary to submit to a slight decline to promote business.
Malt firm, but not free ale. Beans and Peas the same.
There was rather more inquiry for onts to-day, and we
trust we are on the point of recovering from the late depres-
sion. Arrival, this week: Wheat, coastwise, 1,189; foreign,
1,217. Barley, coastwise, 30.5; foreign, 1,341. Malt,
coastwise, 10. Oats, 1.478; foreign, 91. Peas, coastwise,
76; foreign, 16 qrs. Flour, 2,097 sacks.
NORWICH, August 7.—The weather durir g the weak has
been exceedingly fine, and, with the exception of a few
showers, all that could he desired for harvest weather.
Harvest commenced generally with us on the 2nd inst., and
a considerable trumatity has fallen before the •cythe. Must
of the forward Oats are already cut, and several lots have
found their way to market in prime condition, and of good
quality. Several fields of Bath y are also cut. Two weeks
since we had some reports that bright and mildew had
affected the Wheat to a considerable degree; these reports
were considered by practical men to be a new phase of an
old claptrap on the part of the farmer to enhance prices,
and the appearance of the crop fairly induced such a con-
struction to be put on the matters. A more promising crop
had not been noticed for some yt ars past, and full two
moults per acre more than an average was expecttd, but
throughout this district there is mildew and blight
to a considerable extent, and instead of two coombs
more there will be at least two combs less than an average
produce. Our market this day was one of excitement and
talk concerning the blight. Most farmers preferred holding
to selling, but what parcels were sold commanded full 3s.
per quarter advance on this day week. Millers acted with
caution, and only purchased for immediate consumption;
a few merchants seemed desirous to s:a-culate for a rise.
Flour trade was meat; prices nominally 2Ss. per sack of
280 lbs. There was no trade in Barley ; the crop is some-
what affected with premature ripeness,aud mostly will be fine
in colour but very thin. Beans and Peas did nut change in
value. Oats commanded a fair sale at former rates.
Norrtsanate, August 7.—Having had some showers this
week, and a somewhat firmer tone in most of our leading
markets, the Corn trade here to-day is much more stirring
than of late. Several samples of Wheat have changed hands,
and mostly at an improvement in value ; and fur the fresh
parcels Is. to 2.. per qr. All other kinds of grain are held
firmly, and, if sold, taken at full prices.

PETERBOROUGH, August 7.—Harvest operations are now
genets! in this quarter, and at to-day's market one sample,
2.5 qrs., of new %Vheat, weighing 63lbs. per bushel, was sold
at 40a. per qr. Old san.ples being in short supply, com-
manded a ready sale, at an advance of Is. per qr. over last
week's prices. Foreign Barley for grinding purposes, Is.
per 9r. lower. Scarcely a sample of Oats or Beans
showing.
}lsamu°. August 7.—Oar Wheat market exhibited a
larger supply than last week. The rumour of t: .e growing
crops being affected with blight, and the heavy showers
falling during market hours, induced sellers to ask mush
higher prices; In some instances 3e. to 4s. advance was
made, but generally it was called fully 2s. dearer. A con-
siderable supple of foreign Barley was offered, at rather
lower prices, but not much doing. New Peas, for grinding,
from 325. to 345.

WISDECII, August 7.—The accounts of blight and mil-
dew came worse to-day. The weather appears broken, and
several heavy showers of rain having fallen during the week
the Wheat trade at this day's market became rather es-
cited, and much higher prices were asked, but towards the
close they settled down to as advance of ls. to 2s. per qr.
over the rates of this day week ; of other grain very little
showing, and the value about the same. A moderate show
of Rapeseed, and rather more money given for it.
Woncursts, August 7.—At this day', market there was
a fair supply of Wheat, for which much higher prices were
asked, and the sales made were at an improvement of ls. to
2s. per quarter. There was an improved demand for Batley
but it declined in value ls. per qr. Oats unaltered. More
doing in Deans and Peas.

Yoast, August 7.—We hare only a small show of Wheat
at our market to-day, which met a better demand at some•
what higher rates. In other articles little doing. Harvest
will be pretty general here next week, and reports speak
favourably of the crops. The following are the prices:
Wheat, white, 40s. to 435. per imperial qr.; red, 385.t0 40s.
Beans, 324. to 345. Rye, 295. Malt, 521. to 645. Oats,
10d. to 101 d. per stone of 14th.. Flour, 295. to 31s. per
sack of 2301 be

Donut., AUGUST 6.—The weather has been a good
deal broken for the last two days, and although we
do not report any actual improvement in our corn market,
the general tone was less depressed than of late for all de-
scriptions of home grain. Indian corn was very dull, and
even retail sales were difficult at the currencies of last day.
New bent and oats moved off at the prices of Tuesday, and
new rape seed was 6d. to Is. dearer. White wheat, 28s. to
265. ; red ditto, 225. to 23.. 6d. ; new here, Bs. 6d. to 95.13 d. ;
oats, old and new, 10e. Od. to lls. 6d. ; rapeseed, 16s. to
18s.; oatmeal, 11s. to 12s. ; bakers' flour, 12s. to 15s. per
cwt.; Indian corn, 28s. to Ms. per 4801 b..
Conn, August 6.—Our supplies of foreign Wheat have
been very liberal, end extensive sales have been made at a
decline of about 6d. per barrel ; but, from the tone of the
late London and Liverpool advice., prices are not expected
to be lower. Although the quantity of old Oats on hand is
not large, prices have receded fully Gd. per barrel, the new
season being so close at hand; free on board price' s. 6,1.
to 9s. 6d. per barrel. The Indian Corn trade is at a stand-
still, no consumptive demand, nominal price at 71. per
ton for Galata. Buyers on speculation at It. per ton less,
but no sellers; the cargoes now being landed go into store to
be held over.

WATERFORD, August 7.—Our imports of Wheat this
week have been large, but small of Indian Corn. From the
interior we have received a few boat load. of old, and from
the neighbouring farmers some 200 or 300 barrels of new
Tawney Oats. Of Barley there has not been any on offer.
The improved tone of the English markets, added to an un-
favourable change in the weather, has impartedtmore life to
the trade here, and some quantity of foreign Wheat has I
been sold during the week at full prices. Old Oats have
also commanded more attention ;than of late, and our mar-i
ket has been patty weal cleared of all sweet parcels at tho
above prices. Farmers' samples of new (itch Bs. 6d. to 9..
per barrel. For Indian Corn the market has been in a very
unsatisfutory state; early in the week the anxiety of some
sellers to realise, forced the price of Palate corn down to
17s. per barrc ; a rally has since taken place, and there is
now a free sale for consumption, with a good inquiry for'
Boating cargoes. Flour without change. Imports this I
week:—Wheat, 4,500 gra ; Indian Corn, 1,820; Flour,
942 barrels. Exports this week :—Barley, 470 barrels ;
Osts, 6,188; Flour, 680 sacks; Indian Corn, 50 barrels;
Oatmeal, 40 cwts.
KIIIICALDT, August 7.—The weather during the week
has been warm and sultry, forcing on the crops rapidly to
maturity. Here and there a little Batley has been cut, but
harvest will not be g 1 fur eight or ten days yet. Yes-
terday occasional thunder @bowers fell in various parts of
the country. To-day we have S.E. wind and rain. Reports
'of disease in the Potato fields increase. At our country
markets this week there was very little doing in any kind
of grain. Prices nominally as last week. Here today we
had a fair supply of Wheat, and, although sales were slow,
the prices obtained were came as lut market day. Oats in
small supply, and 6d. per qr. lower. Only two small par-
cel, of Barley. Wheat, 368. to 425. per qr. Barley, 255.
to 255. Od. Oats, 18e. to 20s. Od. Oatmeal, per bag of
280th.., 295.
