Tag GREAT BRITAIN STEAMER.—Since our last
notice (sa3s the Newry Telegraph). another spring tide has
gone off, but it was so low stone that nothing beyond digging
trenches, to lower the water, and breaking up the faggots,
was attempted. Timber, however, has been, during all the
last week, oominst to the seaside, front Downpatrick ; end
large sheaves and pumps, and other ironwork, from Belfast.
Sawyers are at work, and a good deal of activity prevails in
preparing some dozen of bulks of timber apparently for
taking the sheaves; and framing is rapidly being put toge-
ther for several Urge cases, or boxes, which, it is Bard, are to
be used in weighing the steamer up, and, it would appear, in
Boating her also afterwards, as they are being made water-
tight. Mr. Bremner and Mr. Pattison, the builders of the
ship, have been for some days on board, with Capt. Claxton,
but they both left en Monday. It is said on board that the
bottom of the Great Britain will be looked at before she is
floated off. Lord Roden visited the ship on Monday morn-
ing, as early as 7 o'clock; and a great many cars and car-
riages, conveying the curious, daily attend.
EARLY HARVEST.—We have received from the
neighbourhood of Rye a well-developed ear of wheat, with
the grains in an advanced stags of formation. There are in-
dications from all quarters of an early harvest.

ELY, JUNE 3.-Our market to-day was extremely dull,
millers not being disposed to buy only at reduced prices ; in
consequence, very little business was done. Wheat, 98 qrs.
4 bush., ge 100 s. ; Oats, 35 qrs., 33e. Id.; Beans, 57 qes.
4 bush., 625. 6d.
HULL, Jugs 4.-The Wheat trade in the beginning of
the week was very heavy et a decline of ss. per qr.; but
towards the close it rather revived again, and better
prices by 2s. to 3s. per qr. are obtained. Barley, Beans, and
Oats, are 2s. to 3e. per qr. lower, with very little doing in
them. Accounts of the new crops continue most favourable.
'Of Linseed we are still without arrivals, and what little
remains in warehouse is held firmly, at late rates ; but as
ready all the mills, both in this port end the neighbourhood,
are closed, the demand for Seed is very trifling. The
quotations in this inactive state of business, are, consequently,
quite nominal-say, Black Sea, 524. • Petersburg, fine, 6th. •
fine heavy Daatzic, 475. 6d.; Memel, fine, 47a., down to 365.
par qr. for interior quality of lower Baltic. Rapists/.
nothing doing in sales About 35 lasts Danish are oderkig,
at 261. 10s. per last. Linseed Cakes have been in only very
limited demand, and the sides are consequently at lower end
irregular rates. Imports during the week: Rapeseed, 450
qrs.; Wheat, 3,627; Barley, 1,818; Oats, 1,215; Beans, 519;
Peak 17; Tares, 40.
Lewes, Jews 1.-The supply of Wheat at cur market
to-day was large, and the demand small. The current ratite
of the day, which were 20s. per qr. under those of this day
week, were paid with reluctance, and only by necessitom
buyers. A few Oats were brought forward, but no other
description of grain; the former we quote Is. to 21. per qr.
lower. The weather continues highly propituous ; the grow-
ing crops are advancing rapidly, and, with very little excep-
tion, continue to be well reported of en every hand.
Ltranroon, Jugs 4.-Without say British arrivals de-
serving notice since Monday, the exports coastwise and to
Ireland, tar exceed the imports at present; and as Ps pp-
plies from the American states are not expected to Worm
materially during the ensuing few weeks, the trade Pews
Tuesday and today generally assumed a firmer aspect, with
• good demand for Flour and Indian Corn, the tomer ad-
vaacing Is. 6d. to 2a. per barrel, and the latter Is. per qr,
upon our last quotations, the value of other articles then re-
srsasog Intleeneed b 7 asifemaly Line weather, and
favourable accounts of the coming crops in all pare of the
country, the proceedings at our market this morning were
generally of • less interesting character than of late. Holders
of Wheat, however, asked higher prices at flint, and in •
few cases obtained • slight amendment; but the millers
being rather inactive, and the operations on the whole only
moderate, the trade for this grain closed with little variation
from the current rates of Tuesday last. American Hour,
upon a less free sale than yesterday, hardly supported the
advance then stated, good Western brands scarcely exceed.
tog 445. 6d. per barrel, and other qualities ranging at pro-
portionate rates. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, being in
slow request, hardly sustained our last currency. In Oats,
the sales effected to-day were confined merely to small retail
parcels, at former prices ; and Oatmeal, upon • limited
inquiry remained unvaried. For Indian Corn we had •
good inquiry, and a fair extent of businea was done, at Is.
per qr. over Tuesday's rates, although most buyers hesitated
to pay. the advance. Arrivals, from the Ist to the 3rd June,
inclusive, into Liverpool and :tuncorn : Wheat, 734 are. ;
Barley, 94; Melt, 190 ; Beans, 35 ; Indian Corn, 3,031 ;
Indian Corn Meal, 99 barrels ; Oatmeal, 26 loads; Flour,
195 sacks, 495 barrels.
PLYMOUTH, JUNE 3.-The supplies of all corn continue
very short, and but few samples were offered by farmers at
this morning's market, when millers manifested greater dis-
position to purchase. The weather continues fine, and fa-
vourable for the crops.
RIPON, Jvxs 3.-The con market was this day a com-
plete holiday, from the effect of the annual June fair,
and the di.inclination of the farmers to submit to further
reduction. The supply in Wheat was confined to middling
and inferior samples, and so few sales effected as to afford no
criterion of the actuali decline in prices. Oats and Beans
supported their prices. White Wheat, lls. 6d. to 12s. 6d.;
red, 9s. to 12a. per bushel. Barley nominal. Oats, Me. to
40s. per qr. Beans, Is. 3d. to Bs. 6.1. per bushel.
SCARBOROUGH Jurrs 2-The quantity of all kinds et grain
offering today is very small ; for Wheat, the farmers seem
iaclined to wait awhile, in hopes that another re.acties will
take place in their favour. Wheat, from lls. to lls. 6d. per
6 stones. Oats, 17d. to 18d. per stone. Barley, 48s. to Ms.
per qr. of 32 stones. Seconds Flour, 655. to 66i. ; and super-
fine 70s. to 72e. per sack of 20 stones.
SOUTHAMPTON, ivies 4.-There was but a thin attend•
ante at our marked today, and only trifling sales effected,
sellers holding for higher prices. Wheat in short supply, at
from 80s. to 96e. per qr. Oats, from 325. to 38s. Barley,
50s. to 52e. Beans, SN. to 665. Flour, 70s. per sack. On
the whole, there was more firmness in the trade, and more
disposition on the partpf buyers to do business.
ST. Near's,. Alms 3.-Holders of Wheat unwilling to
give way in price, and very little limitless done. Return
for the week: Wheat, 535. to 565. ' • Barley, 565. to 58e. ;
Peas, 395. to 40s. ; Beans, 375. to 395.; Oats, 335. to 40s.
WAKEFIELD, Junta 4.-Our arrivals of grain still con-
tinue moderate. The state of the trade for the last two weeks
has been such as to prevent any accurate report of the value
of 'Wheat ; but to-day a much firmer aspect pervades, and an
advance of 6s, to 6s. per qr. upon the forced sales of lam week
is obtained. Barley is not wanted for malting purposes, and
the demand for grinding la retail, at our quotations.
Oats and Shelling are each rather better sold.
Beans steady. No alteration In ether articles. The
following are the preseat prices of grain: Wheat. 6010.
