BELFAST, July 6.—We continue to have very utisfactory
advice, as to the progress and arpearanee of the crew, and
already we have a good supply of potatoes at mark, t, which
sell from 10d. to Is. 4d. per stone of 1411 w. The supplies of
grain from the coulitry this week have been small, and our
stocks of either foreign or home-grown in store are unu-uelly
low, and yet in the latter, the demand being conflued to the
immediate wants of the trade, prices seem not to be in-
fluenced by the low state of the stocks, as in former seasons.
Wheat in good demand, at an advance of 2d. to 3d.
Parcels are more inquired for, but the views of holders keep
a little above those of the trade. Flour of all sorts is in
fair demand. Barrel sells at 28s. to 30s. Barley t The
price is nominally as before, but the quantity at market
is so small as scarcely enables us to name a price. Oats are in
demand, at fully former prices. Oatmeal is a dull sale, and
3d. layer. Indian Cern, which declined at the dose of the
week, has since regained the decline, and now sells freely, at
81. 2s. 6d. to 81. 7e. 6d. for yellow, and 81. to 81..55. for white. I
Barleymeal sells freely, at 15s. to 159. 6d. per barrel.

CORK, July 7.-The weather continues of the same hush,
nog< nial character, as noted in our previous circular: a good
deal of occasitnal rain fell during the week, partaking more
of the character of March than July. Complaints hal e reached
us from various quarters respecting the Wheat, and unless a
favourable change takes place in the weather, and shortly,
the consequences must prove very serious; however, with
this exception, we are happy to say that the reports as to the
Potatoes and other crops, though rumour is rife about in-
jury, and even disease (we have little doubt without founda-
tion) are of the most favourable character. Supplies of grain
to our market from the farmers are of the most trifling cha-
racter, but 205 barrels Wheat, 57 barrels Barley, and 616
barrels Oats, for all descriptions of whi. h full prices were
readily obtained. In Indian Corn we have had a brisk trade,
and stocks being now reduced to a narrow compass, 70.
to 10s. per ton advance was fully established ; a few cargoes
having made their appearance within the past few days,
however, has allayed the excitement which began to prevail,
and though prices can scarcely be said to be lower, tho trade
is evidently quieter. In Oatmeal, Wheatmeal, or otter
breadstuffa very little doing, though holders are more in-
clined to raise their pretensions than otherwise. The Flour
market rules firm, supplies being scarcely equal to the de
mend, and factors easily obtained 6d. to ls. per cwt. stair
last week's quotations. The business transacted in prepared
and store corn has been ratehr extensive, particularly in
Wheat, in the sales effected in which we realised Gd. to ls.
over previous rates; those in Oats and Barley were at former
currency. Prices to the farmers this week : 'Wheat, white,
261. to 28s. ; red, 255. to 275. per brl. of 20 stone. Barley,
12s. to 13a. per brl. of 16 st- Oats, muting, 12s. to 12s. 64.;

Detratc, July 1.-Our yesterday's market took quite a
different turn from what, alter the dull accounts from Eng-
land, we had reas .0 to expect, nearly 300 lasts of Wheat
being bought at enhanced prices. The weather having
become very rainy of late, had its influence on speculators;
there were, however, evidently Scotch orders in town, and
indeed a small cargo was purchased for Perth, at 365. for
6116. mixed Wheat. A neighbour took some fine mixed,
601 b. to 611 b., at 375. to 375. 64., and the latter price was
alsa paid for Bug Wheat, whilst a parcel of 40 lasts, of same
growth, but interior quality, fetched 385., and some whitish,
Glib. Sandomir, 38s. bd. A 1,300 qrs. vessel has been taken
for London, at 4s. 3d.
GRONINORN, July 4.-Since our tut report we have ex-
perienced very revere weather, much rain having fallen, ac-
companied by strong winds from N. W. Several com-
plaints have reached tut relative to the Wheat crop having
suffered from excess of moisture ; however, should the wea-
ther become seasonable, a few days of fine sunny weather
would retrieve much of the damage said to be d',ne. Spring
Corn is very promising. The supplies of grain at market
have again fallen off considerably, and we have to report
an improved tone in the Cora trade generally, several
large purchases of Rye having been made on speculation ;
this article, as well as Wheat and Buetwheat, meets a ready
sale, at an advance of Is to 2s. per qr, over lest week's
currency. Barley a trifle dearer. Beans and Peas bring
full terms. Oats in trifling supply, and readi y taken at an
advance of 64. to 9d. per qr. Rapeseed without inquiry.
Freights to London or east coast, 15s. to 165., and 10 per cent.
per last. Currency as follows: Wheat, red, Oldambater,
621hs. per bush , at 390. 31. ; Hooglansche, 40a. 94. Rye, new.

Rapeseed, 271. to 281. per last of 10 qrs.

HASIBURO, July 4.—We continue to have changeable
weather, which, combined with small arrivals, has caused a
fresh advance of 21. per qr. on Wheat since this day week.
Fine 631 be. Wahren here was sold to-day at 41s. per qr.;
62113 e., at 395. to 405., and a cargo of 621bs. from the Baltic
at 425. per qr., including freight. Barley is also more in-
quired for, 51Ibs. to 521bs. Seale fetching 211. 6d. per qr. on
board. Danish, 53ibs. to 541b5., is held at 235. to 235. 611. per
qr. cost and freight. Oats here find ready buyers at en-
hanced rates fur the troops in Holstein. Good Danish are
held at las. Od. per qr., eon and freight. Beans are rather
lower, but not many offering, Peas are unaltered. New
Rapeseed deliverable in August or September can be bought
at 221. 6s. per last to 221. 10s. per last, free on board in Den-
I mark.

LEGHORN, June 30.—There hare been several arrivals of
Wheat from the Black Sea, and our stock is now upwards of
100,000 qrs., the greater part hard and soft Taganrog and
Danube of middling quality. Further considerable supplies
are expected, when it is probable floe Marianopoli soft may
be had at 321.6 d. to 335. on board ; Polish Odessa, 335. Bd.
to 31s. sd. on board. Egyptian Beans are dull at 181. 10d.
on board. A cargo of Galata Indian Corn came in and was
taken at 225. 6d. on board. The harvest has commenced;
though unfavourable reports come in from some districts, the
crops through Tuscany will probably render well.

ROSTOCK, July s.—Heavy rain• have caused apprehensions
regarding our crops, and induced an increase in the demand
fur Wheat: 36e. per qr. would gladly be given for best 631 h.
Wheat; but the supplies have almost entirely ceased. In
fact, it appears slat our farmers are cleared out. Holders iu
granary have become more reserved, and want 395. to 40s.
per qr., at which price there are, however, not any buyers.
Freights are low. and more ships than charters. The wea.
ther has turned fine ; and if it continues, no harm will have
been done to the crops so far.

STETTIN, July 3.—Since our last report we have bad very
unsettled weatht r, and much rain has fallen throughout this
province. For Wheat the demand is better, and fine 621 b.
l'omeranian qualify is held equal to 365. to 375. per qr. free
on board; Glib. red Ukermark, 355. per qr. free on board.
l'omeranian Barley, 17s. 6d. to ifs. per qr. free on board ;
Oderbruck Barley, 20s. per qr. free on board.

WOOL. BEDFORD FAIR. The price of Ewo
Wool was from 17s. to 17s. 6d., and Hoggets, 18s. to 21s.
The prize of ten sovereign., given by his grace the Duke of
Bedlord, to the owner who shall produce the best long-
woolled shearling Tup, was awarded to Mr. S. Bennett, of
Bickering's Park, Beds., and the prize of ten sovereigns,
given by the same nobleman, to the owner of the beat long-
woolled Tup of two years old, was undecided between Mr.
Inakip, of Arlsey, Beds, and Mr. Wallis, of Barton Sea-
grave Lodge, Northamptonshire. Thera were three other
competitors.

DONCASTER, July B.—Only a moderate quantity shown,
nearly all Lincolnshire; very few lots from the immediate
neithbourhood. No alteration in value, but rather more
firmness in the demand. Super. clips, 10s. 6d. to lls. 6d. ;
Lincolnshire pauels, 91. to 10s. 6d. ; inferior, Bs. to Bs. 6d.;
Locks and Cotes, 4s. to 7s.

ABERDEEN.--This market was pretty full. Wholesale
prices were as follows : Fur West Highland, from 10s. to
12s. ; the latter price being realised by only a few extra
clips. White Cheviot, from 18s. to 225. per st. of 281bs.
These prices are about 25 per cent. lower than last year's.

CATTLE, &c.—Total of Cattle received in London
by the Eastern Counties Railway, for the week ending
July B:—Heath, 2,038; Calves, 66; Sheep, 8,873; Pigs,
322.

LIVERPOOL NEW CATTLE Manarr, June 10.—The sup.
ply of Beef and Mutton was moderate ; the demand good for
each, at from 6.1. to 61.1. per lb. for Beef, and from 60. to
7d. for Mutton. Lamb in very large supply ; the demand
exceedingly dull, at about 6d. per lb. On sale;-1,086
Beads, and 12,049 Sheep and Lambs.

Art( Fata.—ln the Cattle fair the number of stock
seemed rather under the supply of former years, and below
even the limited show of Mat year. The better cla'sesseemed
in rather higher than ordinary condition, but the year-olds ap-
peared not so good sensual. As the pasture is strong this sea-
son, the holders are expecting better prices than the buyers
seemed disposed to give. Stirks may be quo•ed from 4-ss. to
605.; two-year-old Heifers, from 31.105. to 51. There was only
one lot of three-year-old Stots, for which about 81. was asked.
Highland Cows, from 41. 10s. to 6/. Altogether it was a
dullish market, and buyers were not urgent. In the Horse
market there was a tolerable show, but, labour being well
forward, demand was slack, even for animals of the better
class. The market was dull. The high rates at which Horses
were laid in last year and previously could not be realised,
and farmers being very reluctant to suffer such heavy re-
ductions as were proposed, sales were effected with great
difficulty. There has seldom been as good a July show of
cart and carriage Hones; and we never recollect such
good animals being so difficult to sell. Prices may be said to
be one-fifth below thaw of last year.

CARNWATH FAIL—The number of Cattle brought for-
ward exceeded those of former years. The stock shown
were in good condition, and a great number of good
Cows appeared on the market. The sales were dull, how-
ever, and were not easily effected at a very considerable
reduction of price. A respectable cattle dealer informed us
he sold twenty, and the highest price he obtained was 111.
and downwards. A number of Irish ►eifers found their way
into the market, but this class of stock appeared to be in
little demand. The show of Horses was but small. Upon
the whole, it may be considered a very dull market for both
hone and cattle
