trifling arrivals; but from abroad the supplies still cantino'
liberal. Fresh thrashed samplev, however, brine wanted .

also Is. per qr. lower. In Oatmeal and Hour there is little
passing.

BELTA6T, April G.-Prime parcels of Wheat maintain
their value, whilst infer•or and middling lots are 3d. to 4d.
lower. Flour is nominally unchanged, whilst to effect melee
to any extent a reduction of fully 6.1. is submitted to. At
market, prices of Barley are well supported, whilst cargoes
and *tore lots are nearly unsaleable. Oats had declined 2d.
on Friday, but have since recovered, and now sell at the
prices of this day week, Oatmeal, a slow sale at the redac-
tion of 6d. noted on Friday last. Indian Corn is fully ss.
per ton lower this week, and is a slow HOC at 61. 12s. Gd. to
61. 15s. per ton for yellow, and 2s. 6d. to 55. more for white.

WATERFORD, April 13.-Our supplies of Wheat have
fallen off considerably this week, but in consequence of the
general depression of markets, prices have tended down-
wards, and arc now Is. per barrel lower than they were on
last Saturday. Barley has been in better supply, and
grinding samples have sold readily at former prices. Oats
are not offered BO freely as of late, and they met a good de-
mand at previous rates. Indian Corn Continues to
decline in value, and buyers have the advantage of
sellers in almost every transaction. Flour sells
slowly at a further decline of 9d. to Is. per sack.

KIRKCALDY, April B.—The weather continuing dry and
warm in the early part of the week, a con,iderede breadth
of land has been sown with Beans and Oats. Latterly the
changes of temperature have been extreme; yesterday
morning we had a sharp frost, end to-day we have a sprin-
kling of anew ; on really dry land, howevir, the sowing has
not, in consequence, been much ret .rded. At our country
markets this week supplies of all loud, of grain were trifling;
the trade was slow, at last weet's rates, although the sup-
plies were much 'short of the local consumption. Here, to-
day, we had only very moderate supplies of all kinds of
gram ; sales proceeded slowly, Wheat fetching nearly last
day's rates; while for Barley and Oats lab; day's prices were
rather exceeded.

METALS.—Ouscow, April R.—Since the date of
our last report, of 18th ult., our market for Pig Iron has
continued in a very depressed state, and the price has receded
about 3s. per ton. In consequence of the cessation of ship-
ments to the Continent, the value of No. I is just the same
as that of No. 3; and we quote the price for Nos. 1 and
3, together or separately, 40s. to 41.. per ton, net prompt
cash, against orders of delivery fo.b. The makers are not
yet sellers at this price, but, as they are now beginning to
feel the want of orders, it is not improbable they will shortly
be so at the current rates. Common bars, 71. les. per ton,
f.0.b.; nail rods, Bf. ; 4 per cent. du-count.

HOPS. -- BOROUGH M A Itfi ET, TKO Chrk.
Messrs. P.dtenden and Smith report that the market remains
the same.

CATTLE, &c.—SMITHFIELD, Two o'Clock.—There
is a considerable falling off in the supply, and the demand
rather increased ; trade is consequently brisk, at en advance
of fully 2d. per gibs , indeed a few choice Scots have reached
4s. Bd. From Holland, we have about 360; Scotland, 200;
and Norfolk and Suffolk, 1,800. The number of Sheep is
sgaia very limited ; they are readily disposed of at advanced
prices. Shorn Sheep are more in demand, making from
41. 10d. to era. 2d. A few good Lambs make a high price.
Choice young ones realise about is. Good Calves are scarce,
and qutekly sold, at rather more money. There are nearly
700 Sheep and 2.5 Calves from Holland. We have a pretty
firm supply of Pigs ; trade remains about the same.
