Dr eels, Oct. 15.-The supplies to our market this morn-
ing were only moderate ; and, the demand being lively, a
further advance on the improvement of Tuesday was realised
on Barley and Bere. Oats maintained their value, as did
also the finer samples of Wheat on the opening of busi-
ness, but towards the close secondary samples were posted at
Gel, to Is. per barrel leas money. American Flour was
Is. higher than this day week. The following wu
the general currency :-Wheat, red, 255. to 305. ;
white, 275. to 325. per 280 lbs. Oasa, per 196 lbs., 11.. to
13s. Barley, per 2241b5., 14e. 6d. to 17e. 6d. Oatmeal, per

per 4801b5., 264. to 38e.
BELI'AST, Oct. 14.-The weather 8411 continues very fine,
but this day, however, looks gloomy, and very like a change.
' Oar grain market has been but scantily supplied since Mon-
day last, and we notice no change in prices. Indian Corn
and Indian Corn Meal are again a shade lower,and in limited
demand. American Flour must also be quoted Is. per bar-
rel lower. The general stagnation in trade, caused by the
money market and the recent failures, mainly contribute to
keep matters in this dull unsettled state. The fol-
lowing are our quotations: Indian Corn, white, 81.155.

Coax, Oct. 15.-A great deal of rain has fallen during the
week, and most of the mills are now at work. Our corn
market has been fairly supplied during the week, and prices
have ruled very steadily, and the demand brisk. Not much
doinsr in the pri pared market, and the quotations almost
nominal. Small parcels of Marianople Wheat for mixiug
have fetched the rates below. Flour unaltered in price, but
r-ther easier. Indian Corn rather slack in demand, except
at reduced rates. If the holders of Galati submitted to a re-
duction, there are extensive purchasers; it is held at 81. 10s.

LIMERICK, Oct. 16.—Our markets continue to be well
supplied with Wheat and Oats, which are freely bought at
the prices annexed. Indian Corn and Meal not so brisk in
sale, and price down about 20e. ht 2.55. per ton. The small
country mills ►►ve plenty of work in grinding for hire, and
are not anxious to buy. American Flour in fair demand.
The exports of grain have been heavy for Glasgow.,
and a Jew vessels now loading for London. Wheat,
white, 15d. to 161 d. per st. ; red, I3d. to 15d. Oats, Bd.

Woaczarea, Oct. 16.—We had a further decline in
prices at our Hop.market to-day, and matters do not
appear likely to mend as long as the pressure upon the
looney-market is meintained. Usually, at this moss
of the year, we have representatives from most of the greet
Hop-houses in London and other places, who buy up the
growth, but this year the buyers are very limited in
number, and everything like specuLttionis abandoned. The
following are to-day's prices, where sales have been effected:
New Hops,;
per
cwt., 60s. to 703. inferior. 504. to 603.
yearlings, 501. to his. ; old oils, 303. to 60s. Although
the Lent planters are endeavouring to obain a post-
ponement of the payment of duty, the Worcester planters
have not yet stirred in the matter; the Worcester duty is
estimated at somewhere about 2,000/. Last year the duty
paid for the Worcester district was 36,081!. 19s. Sid., being
the largest amount on record as having been paid for the
district, with the exception of that for the year 1908; Wor-
cester Hops then fetched 80e. to 90s. for beet, and GO-. to 80s.
fur inferior. Unless grace is obtained at head-quarters, the
duty will be collected in about three weeks or a month from
' this time. The numbers of ;wickets of Hops weighed at the
public scales to.dsy have been, new, 97; old, 69. The linen-
ler weighed in the week, since last Saturday, has been, new
51; old, 40.

WOOL.—LONDON, Oct. 16.—Er.glish has given
way about id. per lb. Holders are indisposed to press sales,
as the stocks are light. The Foreign market continnes
At public sales declared for Thursday next, about 23,000 to
20,090 bales Colonial and Foreign will be off red, and in the
present state of the money market much anxiety is evinced
b) all parties to know the result of the sale. Arrivals are
Large, amounting to 7,880 bales Colonial, and .370 bales
Foreign.

ANDOVER, Oat. In.—Little or no alteration since thie day
week ; holders remaining firm, refusing to sell at the present
offered prices.
Lreris Oct. 15.—The continued surety of money stiU
very much restricts operations in our foreign Wool market,
t ouch there is no corresponding depression in prices. In
the English Wool market, the amount of sales this week has
been small, and prices are rather in favour of the buyers.
