NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, DEC. 5.-The weather since
this day se'anight has been unusually severe, partaking alto-
gether of the rigours of winter, and forms a striking contrast
tallracsii cexta:fitpurtimral:nredwoisf.triefetdetlisuirhagve not been
to the weather we experienced last year, which was chaise-
teri.ed by extraordinary mCdness. The advices received

tie
trade since, we may fairly calculate upon a heal="sademand
whether the demand will be followed by a rim will mainly
depend upon the extent of the supplies that may be brought
forward by the growers. Judging however from present ap-
pearances we are inclined to think that farmers will note:over-
supply the markets with Wheat, in which case, although an
unusual occurrence, we should not be surprised to find an I
advance of from Is. to 2e. taking place. At our market this'
morning we had a better supply of Wheat from the growers,
but the arrivals coastwise being moderate a clearance was
early effected at rather under the extreme rates of this day
se'nnight. In mouth country descriptions however, few trans-
actions occurred, holders being unwilling to accept present
rates, from a conviction that possibly next week better terms
may be made. For the same reason little was done in foreign.
For Flour we experienced a good inquiry, in the early part
dspurriinacag:mge
of the week extra marks realisine an advance of Is. per
sack, but our millers having reduced the price again on
Tuesday 465. to 475., factors had consequently to recede in
proportion, choice households being since freely offered at
465. without exciting attention. From the complexion,
however, of this days market, we apprehend more firmness
will be displayed 'by sellers next week. Rye was more
inquired for, and anything extra was worth 50s. per quarter.
In Barley we have little variation to note, and the same may
be said of Malt. In Beans and Peas little passing. Having
a very large supply of Oats from the country, and the quality
being very indifferent, sales could only be effected by sub-
mitting to rather easier rates. In bond, December 2

NORWICH, DEC. 5.-We had a good supply of
Wheat by the railway for sale to-day, and the farmers also
brought more samples than last week, the whole of which found
I ready sale at higher prices than last market-day. Barley
maintains its prices. Peas and Beans are fully as high. There
was more inquiry for Flour, free on beard, at Yarmouth and
the best marks arc 64. to Is. dearer. Wh. at, white, 62Ibs.

StiNDERLIND, DEC. 5.-After a week of intense
frost, with snow, sleet, and rain, we have to-day fresh wea-
ther again, though it appears anything but settled. The
farmers brought a much better supply of Wheat to market
than for some weeks past, for which there was rather a free
demand, at fully last week's rates. Story weather has
prevented any arrivals coastwise, with the exception of 2.50
sacks of Flour. South country Wheats and free foreign are,
however, plentiful. The best samples to-day produce 68s.
to 70s. • mid fair average qualities, 60e. to 66m. Old Wheats
are worth 50e. to 56*. ; south country and free foreign realise
about the same rates, according to quality. The supply of
Oats is pretty steady, prices ruling from '2ls. to 325. Good
malting Barley is fair sale, at 40s. to 465. Beans and l'eas
in moderate demand. Fine Flour and seconds are plentiful,
at 48s. to 495. for the former, and 455. to 4614. per sack for
the latter. Averages for the past week:-Wheat, 383 qrs.
6 bushels, at 625. 4d.; and Barley, 140 qrs., at 455. per qr.

255. to 31s. Beans, 44.. to 54e.
WINCHESTER, DEC. 5.-The market very dull, and
sampes sold must be quoted from Is. to 25. per qr. lower for
the best grin ling Wheat, and even 2s. to 35. for inferior. The
highest pnce given for the very best white Wheat was 63..
per qr.; red, 60s. to 625. ; and indifferent qualities made
but from 508. to SUS. Flour as last week. Barley was
offered in considerable quantities, though not much Might
and of good malting shown. The best price given was 475.
per qr., and for grinding, 44e., which some were sold as low
as 32e. Barley Meal is still at 21s. to 225. per bag. Pew;
and Beans a trifle lower. Oats ls. per qr. cheaper for beet,
and 2s. for inferior samples. Poland Oats not reaching more
than 285., and others, sweet, from 22e. to 255.
Wismial, DEC. 5.-We have had a pretty good
show of Wheat to-day, and the condition greatly improved.
All good qualities have met a very ready talc at the full
rates of this day week, and in many instances Is. per quarter
advance has been given, especially on white, which is much
wanted. Beans not many offering, and late prices fully
supported. Oats are very scarce, and ls. to 2s. per quarter
higher. Wheat, white, per qr. of 61 to 6311 x., 58s. to 655. ;
red, 560. to GU Beans, per qr. of 64 to 66 lbs., new, 44e. to

plied with Wheat, which was disposed of at last week's
prices. Red, 7s. 2d. to 7s. 4d. per bushel of 6511). ; and white, !
71. 6d. to 7s. Bd. A large show of malting Barley and really
fine samples were taken at an advance of la. per quarter,
while light and inferior (of which the greater part consisted)
was neglected at a decline of fully 2s. per quarter. Old
Beans difficult to dispose of, although offered Is. per quarter
below this day se'nnight ; new, of fine quality and dry, in
request at full prices. Peas, for boiling, 64. Sd. to 75. per

4s. to 4s. 3d. per bushel of 3911 n.
YORK, Dec. 5.-We continue to have a short sup-
ply of Wheat and Oats at our market this day. Of Barley,
the supply is liberal. We do not make any alteration in our
prices of last week, but each article of the trade, with the
exception of Beans, has met a steady demand, and we quote
Beans Is. per quarter lower. The following arc the present
prices of grain : Wheat, white, per quarter
1. imperial, 66snd-
. to
68e. ; red, 58s. to 62a. Barley, malting, 43 to 469. ; gri

CORE, DEC. 4.-Since our last we had clear frosty
weather, and with very. small supplies at market, an advance
in the price of all descriptions of Grain, say 25. on Wheat, 15.
on Barley, and Gd. to ls. on -Oats. There is considerable
inquiry for lots of prepared Wheat. Holders are firm at our
quotations, and in the absence of Indian Corn, a fur Flour
ther
advance may be looked for. Nothing passing in Oats.
L also very firm, and the trade are asking higher rates. No
arrivals of Indian Corn during the week, but several small
lots changed hand.. The demand for both Corn and Meal
from all quarters is immense, and the stocks must, if no
arrivals, very soon be exhausted. Some floating cargoes
have been sold at various prices-according to the dates of
bills of lading-from 48s. to 58s. per quarter C. F. and I.
Prices to farmers: White Wheat, per barrel of 20 stone,

DUBLIN, DEC. 5.-Our market continues scantily
supplied with grain, and to-day a further advance was ob-
tained on Wheat and Barley of Is. per barrel, and on Oats
Gd. Prime Flour meets a free sale at Tuesday's rates, but
as bakers generally have more or less stocked themselves,
sales at an advance are yet very limited. Coarse Flour and
Oatmeal in good demand, at full prices. Prices of grain,
etc.: Wheat, per barrel, white, 38s. to 415.; red, 355. to
ms. 641. Oats 17s. to 20s. Barley, 21s. toOat-

LIMERICK, DEC. 5.-The weather, which had been
cold and frosty, with dense fogs during the week, has to-day
become milder, with rain, and wind north-west. A very
small Wheat market to-day again, and advanced rates paid
Is. Old. to Is. Ild. per stone for red, and ls. Ild.
to 2s. for white. Not more than 500 barrels at market.
Neighbouring country millers, out of stock, cannot get
Wheat from the farmers, and inquiring after prepared lots
in one or two merchants' hands here. Oats, of good quality,
sell at 151 d. per stone; and Barley, Is. 4(1.-both in very
limited supply. The consumption of all coarser descriptions
of Corn food steadily increasing.
WATERFORD, DEC. 5.-Our supplies of grain this
week have been larger than for some time past, but still
inadequate to the demand. Wheat has advanced Is. to
Is. 6d., Barley, 6d. to Is., and Oats, 3d. to 6d. per boll
respectively. Flour of the best quality is readily bought at
an advance of 6d. per sack, while the courser kinds are
dearer by Is. to 2s. per sack. The consumption of Indian
Corn continues very gnat, and the advance obtained on Wed.

nesday last is fully maintained. Below are our present
shipping prices of Flour and Grain :—Flour, per ,kek of
280 lb., superfine, 495. to 50s. • seconds, 433. to 465. ; thirds,
