WATERFORD, Feb. 2.-Our supplies of grain has rather
increased during the past few days. Oats still command
late prices, but all other descriptions of Corn are the turn
cheaper.
EDINBURGH, Feb. 2.-We had a large supply of Wheat
from the growers at this morning's market; but the condi-
tion being much improved, it met, in consequence, a quirk
sale, at an improvement of le. per qr. on the rates of this day
week. For foreign there was only a limited sale, at about
previous prices. Barley was in good demand ; and, having
but a moderate supply, it was quickly cleared off, at an ad-
vance of Is. to Is. fid. per qr. Oats were in improved re-
quest, and the turn dearer. The supply of Beans exceeding
the demand, caused a dull sale, ar.d a clearance could only
be effected by submitting to a reduction of Is. per quarter.
Wheat, top, 545. ; average, 535. 10s. Barley, top, 365. • ave-
rage, 335. sd. Oats, top, 30s. ; average, 245. 7d. Beans,

GLASGOW, F.b. 2.-Owing to the prevalence of easterly
winds for some time, supplies have bees light. Since this
day week there are forward from Ireland 5,950 qrs. Oats ;
1,040 loads Oatmeal ; and 8.50 qrs. Wheat, and a small cargo
of Wheat from Malta; but the weather having changed
yesterday, with the wind in the west, seven or eight vessels
have got in from Ireland, chiefly Oat laden, whose cargoes I
are not yet officially reported. The arrivals at Grangemouth
are 558 qrs. Wheat, 3,500 qrs. Barley, 920 qrs. Oats,
320.qrs. Beans, and 630 sacks Flour, all coutwtse. Since
our report of this day se•nnight, there has been only a
very moderate tale for Wheat and Floor, and buyers
have again had the turn of the market in their favour. The
few Oats that have been disposed of have been at a decline
of 3d. to 6.1. per boll upon all except the very finest qualities
(whose value has been sustained); but, had a further ee-
-1 auction been yielded, the trade teemed inclined to have
bought in a quantity. Barley. having been in small supply,
hu brought about 6d. per boll advance. Beans and Pees
have attracted little notice. At this day's market the de-
mand fur Wheat was merely in retail, and confined to the
better descriptions, at about late rates. There was a good
inquiry fur Oats, and sales were considerable, at the de-
cline noted above. For Burley full prices were asked,
and good Indian Corn was much in request. The
following are the present prices: Wheat, per 24',1be., English

CATTLE, BT.—SMITHFIELD, Tiro o'Clock.—We
have but a very small supply of Beasts ; the demand, hew-
ever, is also small, and Monday's quotations are barely
reached fur anything. A clearance cannot be effected, not-
withstanding a disposition evinced by the salesmen to take
lower prices. The number of Sheep is exceedingly incon-
siderable ; there is scarcely any business doing in this depart-
ment; prices remain nominally the same as on Monday.
Trade is slow for Calves, at rather lower prices. For Pigs,
trade remains steady. We have 34 Beaus and 280 Sheep
from Holland, and 144 Mulch Cows from the home counties.

DONCASTER, Feb. 2.—At the annual fair on Wednesday
the show of Cattle was much more limited than was anti-
cipated, arising from the desire of graziers to continue to
hold their present lots longer, as the su;.ply of winter pro-
vender seems more encouraging than it was earlier in the
season. Of fat there was more offered for rale than met with
pa/chew:3, in consequence of sellers not wishing to sulsmit
to the present lower rates. Neva rtheless, Bs. per stone was
realised, but prices ranged from 7s. to the previous quota-
tion. The demand for good Drapes was very brisk ; accord-
ingly, higher rates were readily obtained. In in-Calvin
and fresh Cows there was very little doing. The supply of
Sheep seas only meagre, and consisted principally of sev,ral
lots of Hogs. One lot was very deserving of notice. Prices
may be quoted from 60. to 71. per lb. The Horse fair con-
tained nothing worthy of much attention, although for really
good carting animals liberal sums might be obtained.
NEWCASTLE, Feb. I.—The show of stock this morning
was el, fieient in quantity as compared with last week, and
there was also a falling off in the quality. The number of
fat Beasts on offer to-day was 520 head, for which there was
not so brisk a demand as we have had of late ; alter
the best qualities were disposed of, at is. 6d. per stone, sales
were slowly effected : the demand for the south was limited
also • the dead markets in the neighbourhood have been in a
depressed state during the past week, consequently there was
' more time to do business, and part remained unsold. The
number of Sheep was about 4,000 head, for which there was
a good demand, and all disposed of at rates varying little
from lase week. There was not so much animation in the
Park trade, but the store kinds are not inquired after.
Prima : Beasts, 61. to is. 6d. Pork, 6s. to is. 3d. per stone
of 141 b. Sheep, 6d. to Is. ptr head below 71,1. per lb., sink-
log offal.
EDI x lICKOW, Feb. 2.—The out ply of Sheep this morning
was 465 less than last week. On account of the short
supply, sales were rather brisk, and nearly all said
at full
prices. Good aged Wedden were ls. 6il. higher. Top
price of the best Mutton, 7d. per lb. ; current, 6d. to Old.;
middling and inferior, 4d. to sid. The supply of Cattle was
larger than en previous market day, the good propertion of
which we ro rather of an inferior quality. Prime fat brought
last wei k's roriccs, viz., 9s. per Dutch s:one • current, Bs. to
Ss. 6J. ; middling and inferior wen a little down, and may
be quoted at 6e. 6d. to 7s. 6d.
