Haalawourn, Oct. 6.—We had a moderee attendance.
Wheat was a slow sale at an advance of Is. to 25., and Bar-
ley in demand at Is. per qr. more money. Beans and Peas
particularly scarce. White Wheat, 60.. to 67a. per qr. • red,
481. to 635. • Barley, 28e. to 345. ; Beans and Peas, 40s. to
465. ; Oats, 28s. to We.
NEWCARTLE, Oct. 6.—After a drought of unprecedented
duration, the weather has at length changed to wet, which
cannot fail to prove of essential good to the country. At
our market this morning we bad a good supply of Wheat
from the farmers, but the arrivals coastwise being trifling, a
clearance was early effected at an advance of 2s. to 3e. over
Saturday's rates, whilst at the same time the few parcels of
new South Country on sale realised an improvement of fully
2s. per qr. For a small cargo of coarse Norfolk red, weighing
6211..., but made 631 b. per bushel, we made 625. per qr. to-
day, and for a parcel of new foreign, weighing 631bs. per
bushel and upwards, 635. was obtained. Fin* old was also
in improved reque6. wad commanded la. la 9a per qr. more
money. Plow ectremaly sari% end bad diem been any in
the market it would have been taken off quickly at Is. to 2s.
advance. In Rye there is little change. Malting Bailey
more inquired altar, and as our malting will be in full opera-
tion in tne course f ten days, shipments may be freely en-
couraged. Malt rather dearer. Beans unaltered, but hoiling
Peas oontinue to tend upward. Oats the turn dearer.

DI:BLIN, Oct. S.—We continue to have good supplies to
our oom market. To-day all descriptions of grain met rather
a languid demand, and though early in the day prices of
Friday were maintained, yet towards the dodo they could
only be realised for the best qualities. The inferior descrip-
tions of Wheat must be quoted la, and Barley 6d. to 9L
cheaper. Oats and Bete bad also rather a tendency down-
wards. Indian Corn very difficult of sale, and we reduce our
extreme quotations Is. per quarter. Wheat, white, 23e. to
295. ; red, 20.. to 275. 6d. ; Barley, 14s. to 16a. 6d. Bere,
I ls. to 124. Oats, old, 13s. to 145. ; new, 10s. 6d. to 12s. Gd.
per barrel. Oatmeal, 1.51. to 17s. Flour, seconds, 17s. 6d.
to 20s. per cwt. Indian Corn, 265. to 375., per 480 lb.
-

BELFAST, Oet. 4.—The weather continues fine, but rather
cold. Our market, on Friday last, was well supplied with
all descriptions of grain. Oats were fully 6d., and Wheat
3d. per cwt. cheaper. The supply of Oatmeal was small,
and former prices were fully maintained. The demand for
Indian Corn and Indian Corn Meal has not been so brisk
since Friday. last, and prices have given way fully 10s. per
ton. American Flour is also in less demand, but we have no
changes to note in price. The following are our quotations:
Indian Corn, white, 91 ss. to 91. 10s. per too; yellow, 81. to
Al. 10s. Indian Corn Meal, white, 101. to 10/. 10s. ; yellow,
91. to 91. 10s.

BaresaLe, SEPT. 28.—From the 20th to the 25th of Sep-
tember 22 rowels, laden wholly or in pert with prori.iona entered the
port of Antwerp. The importations were : Wheat, 2,976,140 kik*. ;
rye. 1,092,030 tulog. ; barley, 5,000 klieg. ; rice, 637,490 tibg. ; total,
4,710,480 kilog.

HOPS.— BOROUGH MARKET. Two o' Clock.—

market and duty remain the tame.

BASINGSTOKE Oct. 6.—Picking being entirely finished,
all are busy in the villages within a few miles of Odiham and
Alton getting their produce off for Weyhill fair next week.
It is thought prices will be lower.

Woacxersa, Oct. 6.—There is a fair supply of new and
yearling Hop at market, but the monetary crisis which exists
prevents business. No one will buy except from hand to
mouth, and prices continue to decline. Planters will do
well to grub up and grow Wheat, which is now paying, and
likely to pay, much better than Hops.

WOOL.--BRADFORD, Oct. 4.—There is no im-
provement in the demand for Wool, and late prices are
maintained. The business doing is extremely trifling, in-
deed such a total absence of all animation eras scarcely ever
experienced before.
Exrrita, Oct. 6.—lt was a pleasure to notice that this
article recovered, even though in a trifling degree, from
the extreme state of depression that characterised the market
on the preceding week, as for fresh lots of Yolk Wool, 7d.
per lb. Aim offered • and this article must be quoted at from
61d. to 7d. per lb.

ROCHDALE, Oct. 4.—The Wool market has been much
the same as on the two previous weeks, without any altera-
tion in price.

HAY.—SMITHFIELD, Two a' Clock.—Meese. Cooper
and Davin, Hay and Straw Salesmen, report the following
prices :
Prfte Meadow MIN. to 80. Royal ... —F. to —al &raw t, 3ft.
Inforkar OA. to tt.in. j Clover *le. to B.L.

CATTLE, &c.—EXETER, Oct. 6.--The supply was
still ler than on the preceding week, and a falling market,
but more especially so for Sheep. For fat Bullocks the quo-
tation must be stated at from 53e. to rather over 60s. per
cwt., or from 9e. 6d. to 10.. ltd. per score. Of butchers'
Calves there were eulfirent for the demand, at from 51d. to
61d. per lb. Fat Sheep sold, on the overage, at from 51d.
to 61d. per lb. Of store Sheep, a fine lot of Wethers were
bought at 365. a piece ; and a lot ditto, at 35.. a piece, the
quotation. being from 245. to 365. a piece. The quotation
for fat Lambs must be stated at from did. to 61d. per lb.

- -
CALLINOTON FAIR was well-supplied, particularly with
Sheep; but buyers were rather scarce, except for Cows aad
Calve., which were much inquired for. Fat Bullocks sold
from 565. to 60s. per cwt. Fat Sheep, Old. per lb.
BALLINAOLOE FAIR, Oct. 4.—This day the Sheep fair
commenced, and with as fine a show of stock as had been
witnessed for the last 10 years at least. The numbers were
decidedly far above the usual average, while the condition of
the flocks very generally exhibited a marked improvement
over that of many preceding fairs. But the morning past,
noon came, and, literally speaking, no business whatever
was done. It was after 12 o'clock when an odd inferior lot
might be seen driven out sold—the prime articles remain-
ing perfectly unnoticed until about one o'clock, when the
buyers, " few and for between," began to make their appear.
suer, and business might be said to commence, but on a most
partial scale, and at a serious decline of prices. The fall in
rates may be fairly averaged at, for prime lots, from 41.6 d. to
ss. 6d. a head, while second and inferior sorts fell from 75. to
104 a head. Even on there terms the amount disposed of
was an immense disproportion to the quantity left unsold,
and of course for to-morrow's fair. How matters may go off
to-morrow, it is hard to say ; but no small degree of appre-
hension prevails here on the subject; indeed, such are
numbers remaining on the show grounds this evening, that
doubts are entertained whether the regular fair-green will be
sufficiently ample to conveniently contain them. The ceases
of this great depression are attributed to, in the first plat*,
the shortness of grass, in consequence of which very man
of the Leinater graziers (the principal buyers at Ballinaeloe)
have still large quantities of Sheep in an unfinished state
on their hands. Again, it is reported that a failure to a
large extent has taken place in the turnip crop, and
thus blighted the prospect of the winter keep,—• matter
of the last importance to purchasers at this fair. But,
above all, the disastrous state to which public credit is re-
duced, has filled the minds of both buyers and sellers with
apprehension and dismay, and driven business in the present
instance, it may be said, to a " stand still." It is a remark-
able fact that at rather an early hour in the afternoon several
flocks were driven out of the town unsold, a circumstance
very seldom, if ever, witnessed before by the persons in
charge of the " customs gap." The cause of this it is not
difficult to guess. Subjoined is a list of prices obtained per
head, as far as they were able to effect sales, by the most
eminent stockmasters in this province : Mr. Robert d'Arcy's
top lot of 200 Wethers, sold at 21. 10s.; second lot of 200
Ewes, 21.95. ; Mr. Burton Persse's second lot of 200 Wethers,
21. 2s. ; Captain Burke, M.P., a lot of Wethers, 21. 24. ;
Charles Blake, of Tuam, top lot of Wethers, 21. 24. ; last
year Mr. Blake sold his second lot at 21. is. ; Mr. E. H.
Blake, Marble-hill, a lot of Ewes, 1/. 125.; Mr. Bernard
Balfe, Lesdurne, 130 Wethers at 21. Its. ; and 100 at 21. 81.;
Pierce Blake, Corofin, top lot of Wethers, 21. Is. • Major
