BIIMIPIOMAM, APRIL 15.-Dorlng the present week
little Wheat has been shown, still our millers complied with
I rates at Is. to 24. per qr. over previous currency with extreme
reluctance. Barley held for more money, which checked
the demand. Only limited parcels of Oats have been dis-
posed of, and the same remark applies to all descriptions of
Beans, erupt that a couple of floating cargoes of Egyptian
were taken at 35e. cost, freight, and insurance. For Peas
and Vetches we have scarcely any inquiry. At this day's
market there was again • short supply of Wheat, and all
descriptions realised an improvement of 2s. to 3s. per qr.
Fine Barley rather higher. Oats held for ores with
which buyers would not comply. In Beans more doing.

to 31e. Beans, 455. to 60s. Peas. 465. to 525.

Bairrot, APRIL 15.—The weather having been most
favourable, field culture has progressed, and the land is in
the beat order for growing crops, which look very well, al-
though the season is backward. There is an unusual spread
of Wheat this year, with moderate supplies from farmers,
and nothing from abroad, or from Ireland. As the stocks
here are very light, holders are firm, and advance their pre-
tensions for foreign Wheat 2a. per qr., English 2s. to 3a.
higher. Flour is of better sale, as lees is pressed on the
market this week than last, but this is a season when flour
is taken only far immediate consumption, lest it should not
keep well in stock; second Flour, 565. to 58a. per sack
American and Canada, 38s. to 40s. per barrel. Prices of
Oats end Barley more firm, and there is a better retail de-
mand. No foreign spring Corn on sale here.

BARNSLEY, Aram I4.—We bad a good supply of grain
at oar market this day, especially Wheat, which was well
bought up, at rather higher prices than at the preceding
market Average price of Wheat, 31. lat. 10d. per qr.

Dames, Arum 15.—We had a fair average supply of
Wheat, which sold readily at from 2s. to 3.. per qr. above
the prices of last week, at which advance a good clearance
was made. Barley was in good supply, and met a tree sale
at 2a. per qr. advance. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were in large
supply, and the trade was heavy. There was but little doing
in lazes, which sold at from Bs. to 9s. 6d. a bushel. Wheat,
per quarter, best white, 735. to 80s. • red, 70s. to 805. ; in.

0•11NPRORO0OR, APRIL 13.—The high tone of Mark-
lane yesterday had an influence upon our market, sellers
demanding for white, 800. ; red, 765. ; and 775. per qr.
Owing to these high rates a small amount of business was
transacted. We must quote the prices from Is. to 2s. per qr.
hiter.
aiuseroBE, APRIL IS.—Today we had a very large
attendance at market, and millers were upon the look-out
for Wheat of good quality, and of such the supply wu not
equal to the demand. Very fine white sold for 82a., and in
some eases 80s. was obtained fur red. flume sales of seed
Barley were made, and also a little inquiry fur Oats. Other
things quite of a retail character.

NRWBURT, APRIL 16.-We had this day a liberal supplyd
of Wheat from the farmers, which met a free sale, at an a -
sauce of from 2s. to 3s. per qr. Barley wits in request, at
late prices ; but Oats, Beane, and Peu remain the same.

noted 2.. dearer, with a quick sale. Oats, Beans, and Peas
the turn dearer. Wheat, 42.. to 62e. per load. Barley, 40s.
to 645. per qr. Oats, 24a. to 365.
SHEFFIELD, APRIL 13.-At our market t4-day we were
again only moderately supplied wiib Wheat, is which an ad-
vance of 6d. to le. per lead was observed in inferior descrip-
tions; fine and superior samples obtained le. to 2a. more. A
moderate business was done in the above article. There was
only a small supply of Barley and o.ets brought to hand, in
which very few sales were effected. Fine malting Barley
was in good request, at a shade higher. In other articles no
alteration to notice. The following are the quetati its :-

WATERFORD, APRIL 14.-Since Saturday our market has
continued without animation; no change can be noted in
the value of either Wheat, Barley, or Oata; but Indian Corn,
owing to an increase in the supplies, has declined 6d. per
barrel. Flour moves off slowly at former prices.

EDINBURGH, APRIL I4.—At this morning's market we
had only a moder►te supply of Wheat from the growers,
which met a steady sale at an improvement of Is. per qr. on
the rates of this day se'netight. There was more inquiry for
foreign than we bare experienced of late, and a moderate
extent of business was done, en which, however, no advance
cou!d be obtained. Barley in short supply, and 2s. to 3s.

GLIAGOW, APRIL 14.-We have again to note a liberal
import of Flour from America ; but only about 4,000 barrels
of the arrivals have as yet been reported. A ftw cargoes of
Oats, Barley, and Bean, have reached Grangemouth from
abroad; but from other quarter' the supplies have been
small. Having had more inquiry for the leading ankles of
the trade this week, more firmness has been manifested by
holders generally since the date of our last circular. At this
day's market there was more activity than far come time
past. Wheat was in fair request at prices which could not
be obtained last week, and American Flour was 6d. to Is.
per barrel dearer. Them was a good demand for Oa's, and
tine milliag qualities brought iSs. to le. advance. Oat-
meal sold more freely at late rates. Only a li-
mited sale for Barley • but not much offering. There
was no change as regards Beans and Peas. Wheat,

Pants, APRIL 14.—Intelligence was received on Tuesday,
in Paris, from Odessa, to the 27th ult., which states that the
supply of grain in that port wasitsconslerable, but that large
arrivals were expected in a short time, as the Danube was
about to be treed from ice. From Smyrna the accounts come
down to the 22nd ult. ; the market was calm, at preceding
prices. From the French markets prices come higher.
Round Paris the advance is on an average about 21. 50c. the
hectolitre ; at Nemours, however, it has been so much as 3f.
at Cr4py, 41. to 41. 60c. ; and at Dreux, 31. In Normality
the rim is at least as great as near Paris.

CATTLE, &C.—SMITHFIELD, Two o Clock.—We
have again a large supply of Beasts, there being a favourable
change in the weather; trade is rather brisk, at ful Mon-
day's quotations. There are 310 from Holland, 350 from
Scotland, 100 from Norfolk and Suffolk, 150 Milch Cows,
and the remainder from various parts of the country. Sheep
are rather more plentiful, but the demand being fully equal
to the supply, everything is readily disposed of, at rather
more money than on Monday. There is more inquiry for
Lamb to-day, and prices somewhat higher. Choice Calves
are also in request, while trade is very slew for inferior
descriptions. From Holland we have 630 Sheep and 75
Calves. The cold weather muses trade for Pigs to be very
brisk, but prices generally are not much higher.

LIMOS FORTNIGHT FAIR, APRIL 14.—There was a good
show of Sheep, which met with ready sale at an advance in
the prices, having realised from 61d. to 7d. per lb. Beef,
6e. 6d. to 7e. per stone, there being a short supply.
NEWCASTLE, APRIL 13.—1 n the Beast market there was
an improvement in the demand; prices underwent little al-
teration, yet all were sold up. There being about 506 more
Sheep on offer than last week, mused sales to be rather slow,
but the bulk of them were in few hands, consequently it may
be termed a stiff, dear-selling market, yet 41 sold. Pigs
are a steady sale, and prices a shade higher. Beasts, neat
Cutters, 75.; Steers of the bast quality, Sc. 6d.; middling,
16s. Pork, 6s. per stone of 141 b. Sheep, lid. to Bd. per lb., '
sinking the offal.
EDINBURGH, APRIL 14.--Sales were effected slowly, cem-
pared with last week, and prica fell from is. to 2s. a-heed
on aged Sheep, and nearly the one-half were unsold. Top

per lbes A lot of South Down M
Ewa, that had Lambs this sea-
son, brought 401. per head. The supply of Cattle was less
than on Wednesday last. The number seemed too much
for the demand, as the market hung heavily, and a mender-
able number were taken away unsold. A few superior lots
were disposed of, at an early hour, at from Bs. 9d. to Bs. 6d.
current prices, Bs. ; middling and inferior quality, 7s. to
6e. 4d. per Dutch stone. Mil& Cows were not as numerous
as last week. The quality in general was bad. Purchasers
were not plentiful, and sales were effected slowly. A few of
the beet lots were disposed of at from 141. to 91. ; inferior
down to 61., and a great number unsold.
