ASHFORD, August 15.—A vtry fine day, couscqueniy a
very slow wide for What; red averaging from 50,. to 25.,
for good samples. Otber things also very dull.

BARBORT, August 17.-The high price caked for Wheat
to-day checked the trade, and the business dose in the ar-
ticle must be considered 21.parqr. higher than last week.
Otter kinds of grain fully supported previous prices. rha
following are the quotations Wheat, 6d. to de. 6d. per
babel. Beans, 4v. 19d. to 6s. 4d. Barley, 30s. to 31s. per
qr. Oats, 22.. to 28..
BIRMINORAM, August 17.-At this des'. market there
was again a large supply of English Wheat, and the trade
ruled dull, at an &drama of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Several
parcels of new Wheat realized 565. per quarter. Barley un-
altered. Oats sold freely at the above-notad advance. Beans
maintained their value. Peas a good deal itquired for. f biz
week the weather has been rainy, whieheoa led holders of
Wheat to obtain an advance of 2e. per qr. Barley is also held
for rather higher prints. A good many Oats have changed
hands, at an improvment of 6d per qr. Few transactions in
Beans reported, Wheat, English, white, per bushel of

BRIORTON, August 17.-In consequence of the wetness of
the weati.er, aided by the bad reports of the Wheat crop,
Wheat sold freely at 2s. per qr. advance from the rates of last
Thursday. Oats, Barley, and Peas are inquired after, and
holders are enabled to make better prices. Beans remain
unaltered. Wheat, whiter, 151. to 161. 10+; Tea, is!. to

BRISTOL, August 17.-The Week's supplies being con-
fined to 1,280 qrs. Barley from Stralsund, with 302 qrs.
Barley, 1,297 Oats, 660 sacks Flour, and 6 qrs. Wheat coast-
wise anti from Ireland, oar stocks of grain and Flour. are
diminishing fast. The weather has remained most unpro•
pitious for herald operations, and injurious to the Wheat
cut in the delda, es well as what is standing, a very small
proportion being (Ill) wasted in this neighbourhood, where
we nave also the worst account to gave of Potatoes. The
late crops are now looking black, and the rot seems to ex-
tend through ell varieties of potatoes; therefore, the uniipe
tubers may be expected to be worse than the early sorts
when dug out. Tall then the extent of the loss of this MS.'
lent cannot be determined. A drizzling rain at to-dity'e
market, and the generally bad accounts of sprout Ir Wheat•
induced our farmers to advance their eh mands4s. to 61 peeve
on old Wheats. Business was done at as. to 41. per quartet
higher prices than last week-say, 63e. to 675. per qr.. to-
red Wheats, up to 60s. for white. There was a good at
tendance of buyers, and importers held for 4s. per qr. ad-
vance. Bonded Odtsaa Wheat, 48e. to 50r. per qr. ; nothing
fine here, but such would be worth 66e. to 58s. per 481 as. ;
common °demo, soft, 62e. to 665. ; hard Odessa Wheat, 465.
to 60s. per 480th,., as in quality. &ale Barley, 32a. to 34e.
per imp. qr. ; Danish, 28s. to 30s. Irish grinding Barley,
275. to 281, ; new Bete, 235. to 245. per 4COlbe. Riga Oats,
21a. per qr. ; Irish black, new, 20s. Old Irish Oats, 21,. 60.
to 225. 6d. per 32011 e. Egyptian Beane, 295. to 325. per
480ibr. • English, 38s. to 445. per qr. The sale of Flour has
been good,: at 38a. to 40,. per sack for seconds, during the
week, and may now be quoted 40s. to 425. for the best make.
Irish is worth 425. to 445. for fines. Barrel Flour, 30s. to
32a. Very little here.
CRRNIROOR, August 16,-This was a very fine day, with
the exception of a alight shower, and very high prices were
asked fur red Wheat ; 64e. to 55e. was obtained, but only in
a few instances. Lent Corn as before.

Bevan, August 16.-We hart a fair supply of Wheat, of
which there were several parcels of this year's growth ; at
the commencements large advance in prsce was asked, but
the millen and dealers being by no mans anxious to buy,
business proceeded rather slowly, at an advance of fully ie.
per qr. ; before the close a pretty good:clearance was node,
the trade becoming rather brisker. The new Wheat was in
better condition than might have been expected ; 28s. a
sack was the highest pries given for new white ; and 295. for
new red, weight 12 score 10ibe. Nothing doing in Barley ;
but Oats, Beans, and Peas were dearer. Wheat, white,
565. to COL per qr. ; best red, 535. to 681. ' • middling, 49'. to
52a.; iaferior, 425. to 481. Barley, 261. to 38s. Oats, 235.

fine, 465. to 50s. per sack ; seconds, 424. to 455.
Fatuities', August 17.- We wen well supplied with
Wheat, with a geed demand, and prices advanced front 3s.
to 4s. per qr. oser the rates of last week. Wheat, from 134.
to 161. per load. Barley, 28s. to 345. per qr. Oats, 225. to
28s. Peas, 38s. to 42a. Beans, 88s. to 425.
9•INSBOR00011, August 15.-The hi,:h tone of Merk.lans
yesterday caused great excitement in our market, traded to
the showery state of the weather and the unfavourable report
of the Potato crop on the Trent aide. For white Wheats GOs.
was demanded, and for red 58s. These high prices were not
;weeded to, but on general runs an advance of 2a. was ob-
tained, and in some instances 3s. over last week. Beans and
Barley dearer. Flour, fine, 425. 6d. ; seconds, 395. per sick.
Wheat, 48s. to 665. ; Rye, 335, to 351.

fiLirnarone, August 17.-This day, although far from
fine, there were only a slow trade for wheat, and at about bs.
per qr. over last week's prices. In addition to this the millers ,
were indisposed to get into stock. Lent Corn was slow of
sale. •
MANNIN ovum, August 17.-There was a very goo:Pillow
of Wheat to-day, and the trade was fully 2s. per qr. higher
•
Wan last weak. A sample or two of new appeared, which
11
were taken off at 68s. end 605.; good old, fetched sfse.; for
white, 56e. Beene were selling at 245. to 361. Peas, cow, .

325. to 355. There has been a great deal of rain this week;
1 line weather is very much wanted for the harvest.
' anK ET Rases, August 15.-We had a large market
to-day, but the business done in Wheat was very trifling, at
I
Il
an advance of 24. per qr. over last week.
.In Barley nothing I '
doing ; sad Oats and Beans remained ilatatinary. Return of ! I I

biehroti MOWBILAY, August 16.-Wo have had a good If !.,' I.
supply of Wheat offering at this market, and it was telly 2a.

Oats, 265. to 20e. Beans, 40s. to 45*.
NEWAILY, August 16.-There was only a thin attendance . .
of fanners, owing to the harvest being generally commenced
in this neighbourhood. In consequence of the heavy rain of
Monday, prices were expected to be much higher, but the i
two last days proving fins, only Is. to 2a. was made beyond
last week's quotations. Several samples of now Wheat were •

ZfiWnceiV, August 17.-We have to repast slugs market
of Wheat, for whseh early in the day high prices were de-
manded, which which rather checked the trade, but Mei.
matelv • considerable quantity was disposed of at an advance
of 3s. to 4s per qr. There was some quantity of new. condi-
tion middling, and the general quality not fine, and °BREWS-
lag the opinion expressed some time since, that the crop
would scarcely reach an average. But little doing Bar
ley ; Oats, Beans, and Peas remain the same. Since last
week we have had e considerable quantity of rain, which
has totally suspended harvest operations. Averages to the
sth of August Wheat, 632 qrs., ills. ; Barley, 10 qrs., 30s. ;
Oats, 12 qrs., 235. ; Beans, 11 qm., 41s. 7d.
PLYMOUTH, August 17.-The weather continues wet, and
all harvest work is stopped by it. Much corn, cut and uncut,
bus already received coasiiterable damage. There was*
brisk Wheat trade this morning, at 2i. advance. Flour, 4os.
per sack.
Rouse", August 17.-This day our market was well at-
tended, and, owing to the showery weather we have had for
several days past, there was some degree of briskness in the
Wheat trade. PAM ranging, according to quality, from
131. to 141. per load. Other descriptions of grain wen about
the same as last week.
ROY6TON, August 16.-A liberal supply of new and old
Wheat, which supported an advance of full le. pet load; the
day proving tine, acted as a check upon'a furteer advance.
Old Wheat, 265. to 345. per load; new, 28s. tom 1. Return
posted: Wheat, 951. qrs. 2 bush., average. 7d. per qr.
Barley, 6 qrs., average, 295. Peas, It qrs. 2" bush., average,
323.
Seats:men, August 15.-We hail good supply of Wheat
at this day's market, and a fair demand at 3e. advance. Few
Oats or Beans showing, and they realised rather more
money. The housing of Wheats is retarded by the wet
weather. The disease in Potatoes is growing worse daily ;
in some plats there is scarcely a good one to be seen.
Sroettroxros-Tems, August 16.-The weather during the
put week has been dry, but not forcing. Harvest in this
district will be pretty general the latter end of this week.
We have small arrivals of grain from the coast. whilst the
farmers' supply continues abundant for the season. This
morning we had a good show of Wheat from the prowess,
which met a fair demand, at an advance of 3s. per qr. on the
rates of this day week. Forel as and south country is held
for a similar improvement. Barley in good demand. Oats,
Beans, and Peas, without change in value. Flour, 31.
per tack higher. The following are the current prices;-
British Wheat, per ar., of 63111. to the bushel, Durham
and Yorkshire red, 03s. to 583.; white, 56e. to 60s. ;

• UXBRIDGE, August 17.-A small market of Wheat, which
met a slow sale, at prices the turn dearer from those of last
week ; new, about Is. per qr. higher ; the best price made
was 16s, sd. per load; old, 2s. per qr. higher. Beans and
Barley Is. per qr. dearer. Rye in demand at 32e. per qr.
Oats without alteration.
WORKINGTON, August 16.-The very fine harvest weather
we have had for the hat ten days caused a dull market to-
day for all kinds of grain. At a later hour than usual a
clearance was effected, at la. per qr. for Wh.st under last
week's prices. Barley and Oats fully maintained. Wheat,
per 3 imperial buhels, from 20s. to 245.
Limeatcx, August 16.-The weather for the past week,
with few intervals of sunshine, was most unfavourable to
the ripening mops. Barley and Oats are, however, in •
more forward condition than hail been anticipated. The
Wheat crop is very thin, and will yield a deficient supply.
The Potatoes now in every direction are so diseased, that the
the most sanguine do not calculate upon their keeping. The
later sorts, m some districts, are spoken of as not worth

•
digging.
EDINI3CROII, August 16.-The weather during the put
week hat on the whole been favourable to the cops. !lav-
ing only a moderate supply of Wheat from the gewren to
day, this, along with the advance at Mark-lane on Monday,
caused the trade to open with considerable animation, and •
-clearance wee easily effected at 2s. per qr. above those current
this day se'nnight. For foreign Wheat there was an im-
proved inquiry, and a considerable business was done at an
unprovement of Is. to 2e. per qr. Barley held at Is. per qr.
more morey, but by no means a free sale at the advance.
Oats were dull, and, with the exception of chow parcels,
were rather cheaper. Beans unaltered.

GIABOOK, August IG.-The arrivals coastwise at Grange-
mouth since the 9th lest., have consisted, for the most part,
of Wheat, front the English coast and from Leith, amounting
to 3,430 qrs. ,• and 2,700 qes. Barley, 1,030 qrs. Oats and
1,700 sacks Flour have been received ; also 500 qrs. Wheat,
1,050 qrs. Barley from abroad. To the Clyde, with the
exception of 5,600 barrels Flour from Canada, and two
parcels of Indian Corn from New York, the supplies have
continued light. The weather has been dry, with a cold
east wied. The cutting of Barley hes commenced, and
several fields of Wheat ere already cut in this neighbour-
hood. Notwithstanding the arrivals noted above are to a fair
amount, very few samples have been offering, and the value
of most articles has tended upwards. The stocks in gra-
nary may be said to be exhausted, and the trade in a great
measure wiU be dependent upon imports until the new crop
comes to market. At this day's market higher prices were
asked for Wheat and Flour, which were only obtained in a
retail way, and the quotations of last week may be repeated
generally. Oats and Oatmeal were lens free of sale; but
previous rates were supported. There was a fair demand
for Barter, at the currency of last Wednesday. Some 531 b.
Danish brought 226. 6d. per 320.b5. The reports about our
Potato crop are not worse to-day. It is partially blighted ;
but the roots on examination ar... apparently sound. although
in some instances disease is found to exist. The
following are the prices :-Wheat, per 241 lb., English,
white, Old, 28s. to 30s. ; new, 28e. to 30s. ; red, old,

CATTLE, &e.--13mrrrinELD, TWO n'Clock.—The
supply of Beasts to-day Is large, and the demand wry
limited, except for the very choicest descriptionr, nor do
these sell so readily as on Monday last. The average of busi-
mei, done must be quoted 21. per lower, although some of
the most *clang Soots, &c., have reached 4s. 4d. The
number of Sheep is smaller than of late, quite adequate
however, to the demand, trade being exceedingly dual ;
prier s are about the same as on Monday for best qualities,
but rith.r lower for Ewes and second-rare, and a clearance
is with difficulty effected. Lomb is very unsaleable, at late
ratter. There is again a large supply of foreign Calves,
which causes a plow trade, at rsther less money. From Hol.
lands nd Germany we have 133 Beasts, 1.090 Sheep, and
303 Calvin : from Spain, 92 Beasts ; France, 43 ; Scotland,
200; and about 120 Wok Cows from the Rome Counties.
