CossrairmsoriA, Dec. 18.—Our market has been more
lieelfrar
daring the put week than formerly ; priors, however,
still up, although the buyers are few. Some 8,000 qrs.
Wheat ave been shipped for England. Our depot consists
of 60,000 qm Wheat, 20,000 Barley, 10,000 Indian Corn, and
3,000 Eye. Asoff hard Wheat is 22 to 24 per kilo. • Ismail,
21 to 22 ; Boumitlia, 18 to 19; Ibrail, soft, 15 to 17 ; Boultmlia.
14 to 18; Barley. 71 ; Indian Corn, 14 to 16; Rye. 10 to 12;
Oats, Bto 81. Freights to England, 7s. 9d. to Se. 3d. per qr.
Exchange on London, 110 p.
Dasvms, Dee. 80.—Sales of 600 lasts of Wheat, river
supplies, have been made lately, at the following rates :
Fine, 621ba. to 631b5., new, high mixed, 41e. to 425. ; good
high mixed, 611 be., 395. ; mixed and Ike mixed, 365. to 381.
Holders of Wheat in granary are not generally disposed to
sell unless at higher prices than the above ; a email lot was
treated for, but could not be obtained below a price which
will not allow it to be invoiced in April next under 42e.
f.0.b., and it is nothing but good mixed 611 Se. quality which
amonrem Met river supplies would have been bought at
comparatively 2a. lass. Our stocks of Wheat in granary
proves to be urger than was expect. d, the same amounting
to 11,700 lasts, principally composed of the late bea7 sup-
plies, consisting almost solely of the 1847 mop ; and as these,
from the advanced season, could not have the benefit of
being turned in the open air, they are generally in indif-
ferent condition; not weighing more than 69Ibe. to 611 be.,
and will be barely fit for shipping in the nex• op& g without a
mixture of stronger Wheat, which then will be difficult to And.
Of really good and fine Wheat there doe. not exist more
than 2,ooolasts, which are in firm hands, so as to be con
aidered oat of the market. be may estimate the total
amount of supplies received this year at 39,000 lass, of
which Poland contributed 16,300 !sets ; thus, 21.700 lasts
have been drawn from our country by river and land sap
plies, which is an uncommonly large quantity and must be
chiefly attributed to the good yield of our this year's crisp
and the readi•iess of our growers to sell. It is believed
stocks left in the bands of the latter are very much reduced,
whilst in Poland comparative) y only a small part of this
year's crop hasbeen sold ; the large growers, as usual, are
waiting until February, or until the shipping season. How
prices may rule, it is quite impossible to foresee ; it will cer-
tainly depend mainly on the impression given by British'
markets and on prospects then entertained. As to quality,
in every respect, the this year's Upper and Lower Polish
Wheats will be ail that can be desired. Our river naviga-
tion is now entirely closed.

WOOL—BRADFoRD, Jan. 3.—The Imply coming
to market is rather on the increase ; but the prices now
sought by the dealers and farmers are far beyond what ma
be realimsel here, and without • considerable giving way,
there will be a great falling off in the demand ; because the
spinners have been reluctantly compelled w give the advance
recently established—an advance which makes their trade
fully as unrem•nerative as heretofore. In Noila and Brokee
there is neither increase in the demand nor an improvement
in price equal to what is sought by the growers.

CATTLE, &c. SMITHFIELD, Two o'Clock.
We us but moderately supplied with Beasts. The change-
able weather is not favourable to trade; Monday's quotations
are, however, pretty freely given. The number of She.p is
flat large, but Friday's demand being so very limited
at this time of year, they are with difficulty disposed of at
barely Monday s rates. Calves meet with a dull sale, espe-
cially those of middling quality; the choicest descriptions
make 4s. 81. pretty readily. Front Germany and Holland
we have 20 Beasts, 150 Sheep, and 23 Calves ; Spain, 51
Beasts ; Scotland, 200 ; and 141 much Cows from the Home
Counties. . _

Rovainium, Jan. I.—We had • very great show of
Beasts, but of Bheep only • limited supply. The attendance
of buyers not so numerous as might have been expected,
taking into consideration that • fortnight has intervened
sine. the last general market. Pekin for Beef not so good as
lee quotations. Is Mutton no alteration. Beef, 6s. to 6s. 6d.;
puma. 6s. 9d. per it. Mutton, 6d. to 6d. per lb.
