limited in the extreme. Wheat sold slowly at the rates of
Monday last. Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas were all quite
as dear as on that market day, but the sale was far from
brisk.

HULL, May 16.—We have had another week of exceed-
ingly tine seasonable weather, and under its influence the
crops, and vegetation of every kind. progress most favour.
ably. An occasional shower and strong dews have prevented
any injury to spring Corn, but for it and the pastures more
rain will soon be desirable. The Wheat market has been
exceedingly languid throughout the whole week, neither
holders nor buyers being disposed to change their position and
admit the influence of tine weather on the one hand, or the
cessation of supplies through the blockade of German ports
on the other. Hence little or no business has resulted, and
the bulk of the above supply has either gone into granary
or to interior markets. The supply of Wheat at this
day's market from our own growers was again only
limited, and more money was attempted to be made; but
under the influence of the weather and the inactive character
of other markets, our millers refused compliance, and no
progress could be made in sales except at last week's prices.
The same remark applies to foreign, with more disposition to
be out of stock than noticeable for some time back. The ex-
treme heat stops many melsters from working their kilns,
and hence the supply of Barley is more than sufficient fos
the demand. We note all descriptions is. lower. Oats
attract attention, but there are now no low sellers un the
market, and arrivals are trifling. Russian, of fine quality,
form the bulk of our granaried supply. Beans fully main-
tain their value. We are without arrival' of Peas, and the
parcels in granary are held above their market value, other-
wise there is an improved inquiry for them. Only a trifling
business doing in Linseed, and the market again lower. Cakes
are in good demand at our quotations, and foreign much
cleared off. A cargo of good Memel, of fresh quality, is at
present on sale. Without supplies of Rapeseed the market
is again 200. per last dearer, and would sell freely at the
above currency. Rape Cakes somewhat stiffer, as ale also
Bones, of which arrivals are insignificant. This has enabled
holders of landed parcels to teed some clearance of their
stocks. Some southern cargos, are, however, daily expected,
and one is just in. A small parcel of Indian Corn, of good
quality, is on sale from ship.
Irewicn, May 16.—The demand for Wheat is more
lively to-day, and prices may be noted 6d. to is. per qr.
higher than last week ; condition is improved. The attend-
ance of farmers and the supply are far from large. But little
Barley on offer; malting qualities command fully late
rates, and grinding is sought after. But few Beans appear ;
these are inquired for at higher rates, for local consumption.
Lagos, May 16.—Our arrivals of grain are moderate.
Wheat meets a slow sale, and prices are the turn In tavour
of the buyer. Barley steady. Oats and Beans fully as dear.
No alteration in other grain. Average price of grain:
Wheat, 2,416 qrs., 50s. ld. . • Barley, 199, 361. 3d. ; Oats,
228, 31s. 10d.; Beans, 131, 355. 2d.

LEIGHTON BUZZ/LED, May 16.-Of Wheat there was
fair average supply fur the time of year, the Made for which
ruled dull ,• but, nevertheless, last week's rates W 4.111 about
maintained. Barley, Beans, and Peas firm; on new Beans
an advance of Is. per load was obtained. Wheat, per load
of .5 bushels, 275. to 31s. Barley, per qr. imperial, grinding,
295. to 325. ; malting, 32e. to 3aa. Beans, old, 295. to 31s. ;
new, 240. to 265. Peal, 251. to 28s.
Lit earooc, May 16.-From the continued detention of
vessels in the Baltic, and scarcely any spring shipments
having yet vine in from America, our supplies of foreign
grain, since this day week, are perfectly insignificant, and
those of English and Irish produce altogether very limited
in amount. In several of the leading markets of this country
and Ir.land towards the end of last week, the Wheat trade
was reported somewhat more buoyant, in others rather
the reverse, but generally without any important change in
prices; in most directions, however, the value of all kinds
of spring Corn inclined a little upwards, owing to the
existing drought, and though the Wheat plant is stated to
be'fgreatly improved, yet, for every other crop the want of
rain is evident. Upon a good attendance of home and
and country millov, with several buyers from Ireland,
the trade this morning assumed a tolerably active tone,
in reference to Irish and the low kinds of foreign Wheats,
which realised an advance of Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs.,
whilst in any description of English, or in the superior
qualities of Foreign, the transactions were rather unim-
portant, and prices unvaried. Irish Flour, being is fair re-
quest, improved Is. per sack ; but American, of which few
good brands remain unsold, met little notice, though offered
on the terms previously named. The malting season being
over, Barley for that purpose appeared nominal, but grinding
sample*, meeting an improved demand, were 3d. per bushel
dearer, and Malt fully supported our last quotations. Beans,
commanding rather more attention, obtained somewhat
higher prices. In Peas no variation. Oats were saleable at
an amendment of Id. per 451 b., and Oatmeal was 3d. per load
higher. Indian Corn, continuing to be taken eagerly and
extensively for Ireland, readily acquired 2s. to 2s 6d. per
4801bs. above the rates of this day week; and Corn Meal ob-
tained 13a. to I3s. 3d. per barrel.
LYNN, May 16.-A thin attendance of farmers at muket
to-day. Scarcely any other grain than Wheat now offering,
and for which the prices of last week were freely given.
611 b. to 631 b., 465. to 490. ; fine white, 62a, ; Oats, 12d. per
stone ; Beans, 36e. to 400. per qr. to the grower.

PLYMOUTH, May 16.—The weather continues very warm
and fine, although there is now the appearance of a change.
At this morning's market but little business wu done,
although millers showed mere disposition to purchase, and
the trade generally are supposed to be bare of stock.
SALISBURY, May 16.—The finest qualities of Wheat
realised from 435. to 495. per qr.; moderate, 40s. to 435. in-
ferior, 365. to 40s. Barley sold at from 355. to 38s. fur su-
perior samples; secondary quotaLle at 30s. to 345. per qr.
