amount to 956 qrs. ; say, 940 qrs. from Riga, and about 46

last. Linseed Cakes continue in fair demand at unaltered
rates. Rape Cakes same as last week.

LISCOLN, DEC. 24.—1 n consequence of to-morrow
being Christmas day, this week the market was held a day
earlier. We had rather a large stock of grain offering, and

large supply of Wheat; such as was in good condition sold
at about 3s. per qr. ethane., but those effected by weather
were heavy sale. Barley in short supply, and fully 3s. to
4w per qr. dearer for all sorts. Wheat, new white, 735. to
765. ; Barley, 50s. to 31s. ; Bears, old, 525.
DUBLIN, DEC. 24.—Our corn market was held
to-day, as Vl-morrow will be Christmas-day. The attendance
was very thin, and little business was done, so that no alter-
ation from Tuesday's prices can be noted. The demand for
prime Floor this week has been very limited. However, as
stocks in factor's hands are light, sales have not been pressed
at reduced rates, and prices continue unaltered. In coarse
Flour no change, but Oatmeal having become more plenty
in the market, its value has rather a downward tendency.
Prices of grain, 6.e.:—Wheat, white, per barrel, 40s. to 44,. ;
red, fLis. to 425. Oats, 18s. 6d, to 21s. ocl. Barley, 2:is. to

rather smaller than the last, and rather hiirto,r prices paid,
say up to 2s. 4d. per stone for tup samples of hito. ads in
moderate supply, hut by no means like the quantity that we
usually have et this period; and up to 17W. in full per stone

great demand, and 19/. per ton demanded by millers for
Wheat. n and Indian corn-meal.

me d p,r wt. Indian Meal, Roc Fax cat. Flour, 43r.

WATERFORD, DEC. 23.—Without any material
iu-
creuse in our Aupplies of grain, trade has ruled dull since
Saturday. ♦•heat is cheaper by fully Is. per barrel, while
both Barley and Osts are easier to buy. Ihe demand for
Flour i. not quite so ardent as of late, het receet prices are
fully rosintsiimd ; the same remark applies to Indian Cora
and Meal.

have again to report large transactions daily in almost all
descr:ptions of corn, at improving rater ; the advance since
this day week on English and foreign Wheat is full 3s. per

ket this morning Iran the growers was moderate, that of Oats
rather large. Wheat sold readily at 3s. to 4s. per qr. over

qr. dearer, with a tree Dale. Beans ure Is. and white FOILS
a. per qr. higher.. ,

quick sale. Prime fatted Beasts, Sussex bred, sold at 221. to
241. a head. Good Steers made 181. to 201. ; sud Scotch
Runts and Welsh Beasts fetch 14 to 16 guineas. In the

The business among Pigs was brisk; large Bogs sold at
34. 641. per stone, and dairy-fed porkers at 4s. 81 per stone.

I)Ael.tscrroN, I)Ec. 21.—We had a small supply of
stock ; sales heavy, and for anything hut prime cattle little
dunand Sheep were plentiful, but dull sale. lleef, Gs. to
Gs. Gd. per stone ; Mutton, old. to lid. per lb.

EXETER, 111• x•. 23.—The supply to-day, especially
of fat cattle and Sheep, was small, and the bmiuess transacted
of no great importance Christmas-eve being a time fur fes-
tivity,
oath, r than for buying and selling in the market place.
The few secs effected in fat beef were at prices varying
from Us. to Us. lid. for second-rate articles, and llts. per score
for the best. There was a fair supply of Cows and Calves,
which sold pretty well at prices ranging from II!. to 181.
each. Pour stock and harmers were not in much request.
The supply oi Sheep was very small, and sold rather dearer
than lit week, find. per lb. being the average price for the
best articles. There was again but little doing in the I'ig
market, the potatoes are now neirly exhausted, and Piga
I must, in consequence, be scares and dear until the next
r summer.

LYNN, I)ie. 22.—The show of licasis at this day's
market was exceedingly small, and buyers very few, so that
what came to market were with difficulty disposed of at last
week's prices. There were but very few keeping Sheep.
but the number was quite equal to the demand. Fat and
store rip but small supply, fat Pork sold from tis. 9d. to
7s. per stone.

NEwcAsTty, Dhc. 22.—We had a pretty numerous
supply of cattle at this morning's market, but many of them
were only of indifferent quality. There wa a good demand,
and a good amount of badness was transacted, prices being
fully as high as last week. There was a large aupply of
sheep, a great number of which had, however, been left over
from last wee k, and owing to the late hard weather, were
etotAderably wor.e in condition today. There was • good
amount of busineks trinsacted—prices being a trifle on the
decline. Pricis : Cettle, Gs. to 6s. 9.1., and in some ewes, of
neat cutters, 7s. a stone of 14 lb. Sheep, of the bent quality,
6.;t1.; middling do., and those kept from last week, barely
realising lid., sinking the offal.

YORK FORTNIGHT FAIR, DEC. 21.—At this day's
fair, there was a very thin %how both of fat and lean Beasts
a cireune•tune attributable to the ChriNtinas fair having just
been held. There was hut bttle variation in the price ob-
tained for fat !ivies, whilst that of lean Beasts was a shads
lower. Sheep were scarce, and were sold at from fal. to 64d.

COVENT GARDEN.

This mornisw.—Fruit and Vegetables are sufficient
for th^ demand; and trade is a little brisker. l'ine Apples
are scarcer, and the stone may be said of Grapes, both

and there is little demand for Filberts.. Lemons are rather
