in request at full prices, In other articles no alteration. The
following are our quotations : Wheat, 62. to 69. 10d. Barley,
309. to 359. Beans, 4s. 6d. to 6d. Oats, 229. to 265.
BARNSLIT, March 29. -The market of this day was flat
in the extreme, and little business was done. The little
which was done was at rates rather lower than last week,
in all kinds of grain.
BIRMINOHAM, March 30.- During the present week,
although the wet weather has continued, owing to the unex-
pected fall in the leading markets, scarcely a transaction in
Wheat is reported ; there Is however none preuing on the
market. Barley fully as dear, and really fine parcels are
become scarce. We have a fair bale for Oats, at a
further reduction of 6d. per quarter. Beans maintain
their value. Peas unsaleable; and few more vetches will be
sold until the weather becomes dry enough to plant them.
At this day's market there was again a large supply of Eng-
lish Wheat, and the trade ruled dull at a reduction of fully
Is. per qr. Barley maitained its value, but less life in the
trade. Oats again 6d. per qr. lower. On Beans of all kinds
the turn was in favour of the borer. We had an inquiry for
Pau or Vetches. Prices: Wheat, English, white, per
bushel of 621b5., 61. Bd. to 7s. id. ; new, 6s. 9d. to is. Id.;

BIIOIITON, March 30.—The demand for Wheat to-day
was moderate, but millers would not buy unless a fall of le.
to 2s. per quarter was submitted to. The Barley trade is
very firm, and, the supply of that article being very short, a
further rise of Is. per qr. from lut Thursday was obtained
freely. Oata in moderate request. Beans rather dull. Peas
are scarce, and more inquired after. In Seeds there is very
little doing. Wheat, white, 131. to 131. 51.; red, 121. to
121. ss. Barley, 345. to 355. Oats, 18s. to 19s. Beans, 33e.

Baisroi, March 30.-The weather has been variable, bat
seems to be improving, and farmers are busy, excepting on
wet lands. The spring sowing is very late, and the growing
Wheats want fine weather. We have a full supply of Irish
Oats, 4,028 qrs., and no wholesale demand ; the retail sales
are at 6d. to Is. per qr. decline this week-say 18s. to 19s.

320th.., potato; and offers from Ireland, f.0.b., lls. per barrel
refused. Barley is rather scarce, and in demand, at fall

from Ireland, in all 9.54 qrs., this week. Malting Barley,
common, 31s. to 355. per qr. ; Chevalier and fine sorts, 365.
to 38s. ; grinding, 28s. to 295. The Flour trade is very dull,

held-sav 60e. to 625. Polish. red, per 480Ibe. ; 625. te 665.
white ; foreign. 445. te 475.; there is a good stock of common
red Wneats here. We have only 268 qrs. of Wheat, and 470
sacks and 83 barrels Flour, arrived coastwise this week.
At t,..day's market What was very dull, at last week's
prices, with very moderate supplies of farmers' Wheat
((samples out of condition), at 48e. to 52. Beans, new,
realised 405. to 445. ; old, 445. to 48s.
Damao, March 30.-The supply of Wheat, although
moderate, was fully equal to the demand ; the condition was
still but middling, and sales were effected at from Is. to 2s.
per quarter below the prices of last week, the turn being in
favour of the buyer; the greater part was sold. Barley was
in fair supply, and sold somewhat slowly, at last week's
prices ; 40s. per quarter was the top figure; a good clear-
ance was made. Oats, Beans, and Peas met a dull sale, at
about previous quotations. Wheat, white, per quarter, 625.
to 665.; best red, 624. to 555. ' • middling, 4411. to 61s. ;

been offering : tine ceudilioned p►rcels supported the rates
of last week, but damp inferior samples were Is. to 2s. per
qr. lower. Very little Barley showing: fine samples com-
manded an advance of Is. per qr. In other articles no
alteration.

NEWBCRY, Much 30.—We had rather an increased sup-
ply of Wheat, but no improvement in the condition ; sad
although a reduction of 2s. per qr. was submitted to, a clear-
knee could not be effected. A small supply of Barley, which

We had only a limited inquiry for south country and foreign
Wheats, and for such we reduce our quotations 14. par qr.

WORKINGTON, March 29.—The weather has for the last
few dsss been more favourable for farming operations;
the attendance of farmers and others at our market to-day
wu small, and the quantity on offer's-ery limited. Last
week's rates were fully maintained for good samples. Best
Wheat. 235. ; inferior, 181. Oats, ea. 31 to Bs. Bd., for three
imperial bushels.
WATERFORD, March 29.—Since Saturday our market has
been scantily supplied with Wheat and Barley, which have
found buyers at a slight reduction from the currency of last
week. Our re:eipts of Oats have been rather liberal, and a
decline of 2d. to 3d. per barrel must be noted in their value.
Indian Corn is still pressed upon the market, at lower prices.
Bimini:it:Rom, March 29.—At this morning's market there
was a large supply of Wheat from the farmers; the condi-
tion of the bulk being very indifferent, sales were made with
difficulty at a decline of from Is. to 2e. per qr.: foreign is in
limited demand, but prices remain without alteration.
Barley in short supply ; fine malting samples are Is. per qr.
dearer; other kinds sold at fully last week's rates. Oats are
again in large supply; they meta very dull sale at a reduction
of lc per qr. Beans, Is. per qr. cheaper. Wheat, top, 60s. ;

Gi.asoow, Marcch 29.-Since this day week there are re-
ported into the Clyde 330 qrs. of Wheat. 16,300 Oats, 230
Barley, 610 sacks Flour, and 800 loads Oatmeal from Ire-
land; and 2,880 qrs. Indian Corn, 2,670 hrls. Indian Corn
Meal, and 300 brio. Flour from New York ; besides a few
parcels of the two former brought round from Liverpool.
The supplies into Grangemouth are principally coastwise,
and amount to 1,630 qrs. Wheat, 3,270 Barley, 680 Oats, and
900 Beans and Peas. Demand for W heat and Flour during the
week has been quite retail, at steady prices. The supply of
Irish Oats being large at first depressed the market ; but at
the decline of 3d. to 6d. per boll considerable progress boa
I been made in sales these few days. No change has occurred
in Barley. Beans and Peas have remained neglected. The
dull accounts from Liverpool and Mark-lime had a deprft-
sing inert upon our market to-day. We may note Wheat
and Oats 6d. per respective bell below the rates of this day
se'anight, with rather less disposition to purchase than in
the earlier part of the week. Flour and Oatmeal were also
a slow sale, and the turn lower. Barley main-
tained its value ; but there was no great inquiry
for it. Beans and Peas had a downward tendency.
The present prices: - Wheat, per 240 lbs., Engl,

TRIMS'', March 16.-We have had little doing in our
Wheat market, and prices may be said to be without much
variation. Indian Corn continues dull, and best quality of
Thralls might be shipped under last quotations.

CATTLE, &c.—ShIITSFIELD, Two o'Clock.—We
are but moderately supplied with Beasts ; trade is, however,
exceedingly heavy, owing to the glutted state of the dead
marketa and the mildness of the weather. There is as
average decline of fully 2d. per gibe., although in some in-
stances a few choice things have made rather over our top
Quotations. We have about 200 from Holland, 200 from
Scotland, and 160 Milcb Cows. The supply of
Sheep is larger than it ham been for some weeks past ;
we have a dull trade, and ss. 6d. is the extreme price of
Beet Downs, &c in the wool, or 51. Aiwa. From Holland
there are about 300 Sheep and 62 Calves. The Calf trade
is very much worse than of late; it must be something very
choice to melee over sa. Lamb is more in request, although
it can scarcely yet be said to have come into general use ;
some choice qualities have made a little over Si. 84. Trade
is heavy for Pigs, at lees money.

ROTHERHAM, March 27.—We had • good supply of fat
Cattle from the North, of superior quality, but of Sheep
only a thin show, yet equal to the demand. The attendants
of buyers were not numerous, which caused a dull sale in
both trades, but at the close a clearance was made. Beef,
7.. 6d. to Be. per atone. Mutton, clipped, 60. to 71d., in
wool, Bd. per lb. Beasts, 197, Sheep, 1,600.
