NIMBI:RI, May 19.—The fresh supply of Wheat in
addition to that left over from hat week formed altogether
a large quantity on offer, which led to a further reduction
of twin Is. to 2.. per qr. on what little was dispentd of.
Grinding corn of ell descriptions fully supported late rates.

but the trade rules dull, and prices are Is. to 2s. per qr.
lower; the best price given is 545.. the ge prtce 465.

WATEaronu, May 18.—We have bad scarcely any ar•
rivals of and anly a moderate import of Wheat since
Saturday. The trade nevertheless has been quite devoid
of animation, both millers and dealers purchasirg only for
the supply of immtdiate wants. We, therefore-, repeat
quotations of last week fur all descriptions of grain as well
as Four.

----
Etimuuncitt, May IB.—We had rather a lively market
to day for all sorts, a clearance being made of all the grain,
with an advance in price on all kinds. Wheat, 435. to 529.;
BArley, 28s Bd. to 3.55. Oats, 18s. Bd. to 235. 4d. Beans,

GLABOOW, ?lay 18.—Until the end of the past week a
fair demand was experienced for all good qualities of
Wheat and Flour, but since then the inquiry has fallen elf,
the large arrivals into London, and the dull accounts
thence, having checked the disposition to purchase. Oats
and 11:ans were held for full prices. Barley remained de.
pressed. At this day's market the Wheat trade ruled flat,
but sellers did not seem inclined to submit to lower prices,
and we repeat last week's quotations as well as for Flour.
Oats and Oatmeal remained steady. Barley dull, but not
cheaper. Beans quite as &tr. Imports for the week end-
ing Monday (inclusive) to the Clyde and via Grangemouth
Wheat, foreign, 3,106 qrs. ; Flour, Irish and coastwise, 40
soaks; Oats, 234 qrs. ; Barley, 1,2'22; forei,n, 476; Beans,

NNIVARK, May lA.—At market to-day the attendance
was not BO numerous as it otherwise would have been, in
consequence of the Duke of Portland's rent audit being
held. There was little stock is the market.

SALFORD, May 18.—We had a very liberal supply of
Beasts to•day, whilst of Sheep we had ouly a moderate one.
With a good attendance the sales were rather brisk, especially

supported. Beef, 5f 4. to 61d. Mutton, 6.1. to 74. per lb.

AMERICAN MARKETS.
Naw YORE, MAY 7.
The improvement vi.ible yesterday in Stuck sales has
not been sustained to-day. There was a slight decline
this morning, and a havy feeling in the market. The
open 'lens in State Stocks during the week have not been
on a large scale. We note sates of Ohio Six per Cent),
1081; California Seven per Cents., 86 ; Kentucky Six per
Cents., 109; North Carolina Six per Cents., 108; Indiana
Five per Cents., 98; Two-and-a Half per Cents, 541.
There are few Bank shares in the market. The sales hare
been City Bank Shares 131, Ocean 103, Bank of Commerce
1083. Farmers and Citizens 99), Bank of America 11U1,
American Exchange Bank 141, }.'as: River Bank 109, Con-
tinentsl Bank 100, National 124, Manhattan 1251, St.
Nicho.as 98, Hanover 991. The advice' from London per
Asia give assurances of 'a steady and improving demand
for American securities, particularly sieL-established
railroad loans. Fur the latter there is a home demand
as well as a foreign one, and the orders from the Con-
tinent will no doubt increase as these loans become .better
known. There is a good demand for money which is freely
met by capitalists. Loans on call are made at 6to 7 per
cent. First class paper is discounted at 7 per cent. per an-
num, and names not well knouts at 8 to 9 per cent.
There is no pressure in the market and a good healthy
business doing. Foreign Exchange is not active but firm,
London, 109) to 109) ; Paris, 5.13) to 5.16) ; Amsterdam,
40) to 41) ; Hamburg, 36 to 361 , Bremen, 791 to 791 ;
Frankfort, 4u) to 40). The amount of duties paid on
foreign merchandiae at Baston, for the quarter eudiug 31st
March, was as follows :—Quarter ending March 31, 1853,
1,9:6,522 dots. 14 ; corresponding quarter last year,
1,519,714 dols. 11 ; increase this year, 406,808 dols. 04.
CorroN.—The sales of the past three days amount to
5,750 bales. vie., on the 4th 3,100, sth 1,6.50, and to-day,
the 6th, 1,000. Prices have been irregular since the receipt
yesterday morning of the Asia's ',deices, which calved
general disappointment. The sales since effected have been
generally at a reduction of ec. to lc. The quantity cffering
is moderate, and small lots pleased on sale find ready
buyers. The disposition among holders generally is to wait I
later advices from abroad, under the conviction that higher
prices will rule in Liverpool when the questions of extent
of crop and probable supply from the United States are
better understood than they appear to have been at last
dates.
The great reduction in exports from this side will reiuce
the stock swelled by the excels in shipments from the
United States of 330,000, on the 16th of February, which
is now reduced to 91,000 er under. Quotations also will
compare with a higher scale of prices, which ruled last year
after the Ist of May. We have no later despatch from
Now Orleans than that advised per Arabia, the 4th inst.,
but Mee received the following, dated Charleston, May 6:
Exceas in receipts reduced from 291,000 last week to
278,000 this ; export to Great Britain reduced from 193,030
last week to 86,090 this; middling, 91e."
We fully confirm our previous statements of a late plant-
ing season. The plant is not generally above ground, and
in many sections planters are re-ploughing their fields.
