BIRMINGHAM. Jam 20.-At this day's market there was
a fair supply of Wheat, which was cleared off at a reduction
of Is. to 2s. per quarter, and the trade closed firm. Barley
Is. per quarter darer. Oats 6d. per quarter cheaper. Some
quantity of Bgyptian Beans chimed hands at 12s. 6d. to
13s. 6d. per 1961b5. During tie present week we have not
beard of scarcely a transaction in Wheat, buyers holding off
in expectation of a still further decline. Barley firm, and •
grinding qualities scarce. Oats in fair demand, but 6d.
per quarter cheaper. Egyptian Beans can only be sold
by submitting to very low prices. In Peas rather mere i
doing. Present prices. Wheat, English, white, • per

BISHOP'S STORTFORD, Jan. 20.-This day our market was
well supplied with grain, which met with a ready tale at
last week's prices. Wheat sold at from 475. to 535. per qr.
Barley, malting, 28s. to 325. Oats, 21s. to 241. Beans, 3os.
to 41s.
Bitionrow, Jan. 20.-The annual market dinner to-dsy
interfered with business; but few transactions took place.
Wheat, white, per load, 131. to 131. 108. ; red, 121. to 121. ss.
Barley, per qr., 30s. to 335. Oats, 19s. to 20*. Beans, 365.
to 38.. Peas, 355. to 375.
BalsroL, Jan. 20.-No foreign grain has arrived here this
week. Cuioliwigi and from Ireland: 191 sacks Flour, .
3,399 qrs. Wheat, 3,993 qrs. Oats, and 322 qrs. Barley. The
decline in Wheat at Mark-lane affected the trade here this
week. Millers are not willing buyers, and the supply of
grain from farmers boa increased. They press sales, at a de-
cline of 2S. per qr. on English Wheat, and 6d. on Oats, this
week. Barley is firm. Foreign Wheat is generally held at
last week's prices, but there are Fellers of the common sorts of
red at Is. per qr. decline to-day. Flour Is. per sack lower, 38s.
to 41s. Barrel Flour, seconds, held at last week's prices, but
there is great difficulty in selling anything to-day.
CIiANBItOOK, Jan. 19.-The usual dulness in the trade at
this season of the year has continued, and we can effect sales
only with difficulty at 46.. to 50s. for red Wheat, and 523. to
645. for white ; and 19s. to 21s. for feed Oats. Barley, grind-
ing, 29.. to 31s. ; malting, 30s. to 325.
Devious, Jan. 20.-We- had a good supply of Wheat,
which, being much out of condition, met a slow sale, at
about Is. per qr. below the prices of last week, some consi-
derable quantity remaining unsold. Barley was in fair sup•
ply, and sold very freely, the best samples at Is. per.quarter
advance, and the inferior sorts fully maintaining last week's
prices. Everything was cleared off. The supply of Oats
was good, but the business done was very trifling. Beans and
fess were in large supply, and the trade dull. Wheat,:white,
per qr., 555. to 68s. ; best red, 531. to 575. ; middling, 465. to
621.; infi rior, 41s. to 451 Barley, 251. to 365. Oats, 21s.
to 265. Beans, 48a. to 665.; Peas, 375. to 48e. Flour, per
sack, fine, 435. to 475. ; seconds, 395. to 425.

trade rather dull, at last week's rates. In Barley we had a
good supply. Wheat, from 12'. to 151. per load. Barley,
from 28s. to 32.. per qr. Oats, 20s. to 265. Beans, 40s. to
50.. I'eas, 38a. to 425,
MAIDSTONE, Jan. 20.-A slow trade to-day for most grain,
but more disposition on the part of millers to go into stock
than we have noticed for some weeks, but at law prices, say
465. to 50s. for fine red, and 50s. to 545. for the best white.
Lent corn was as last week, with rather more inquiry for
Barley.
MANNINGTREE, Jan. 20.-Our market to-day was is. per
qr. lower for Wheat, with a pretty good supply. Fine malt-
ing Barley was inquired for, and met a ready sale at last
week's prices; grinding and inferior sorts much the same as
on that day. Nothing passing to-day in Beans and Peas.
White Wheat, 525. to 545.; rid, 465. to 603. Bailey, malt-
ing, 235. to 311. ; grinding, Zia. to 275.
NEWARK, Jan. 20.-During the past week a depression
has taken place in Wheat and Barley generally, the latter
less than the former, owing to the influence of the atmo-
sphere, and business may be said to be more retail than
otherwise. At this day's market the supply of Wheat was
only to a moderate extent; line qualities Is. to 2.1., and
second sorts 2s. to 3s. cheaper. Fine malting Barleys were
scarce, and were taken at 6d. to Is. per qr. higher; second
qualities participated also in the improvement. Oats were
firm. Breaking l'eas more in demand. Old and new Beats met
more inquiria a ; but Indian Corn less. Wheat, new, white,
per 16 at., 575. t. 695. ; red, 545. to 675. Barley, malting,
imp, measure, 325. to 3.39. • second, 295. to 308. Oats,
new, per stone, 12d. to 130. Beans' English, old, per 38
atone, 51s. to 685.; Egyptian, 44.. to 475. Peas, white,
68s. ; blue, Os. Indian Corn, per 34 stone, 375. to 38s.
NEWBURY, Jan. 20.-Our supply of Wheat still con-
' tinnes large, the demand for which ruled exceedingly dull,
at a decline of fully 2s. per qr. The supply of Barley was
not large, and met a good sale at fully last week's prices.
Oats, Bales, and Peas maintain late rates. Averages to Jan.
16: Wheat, 871 qrs., 50s. SJ. ; Barley, 651, 30s. 11d.; Oats,
41, 21s. 4d.
PLYMOUTH, Jan. 20.-The weather continues frosty and
, fine. The Corn trade is dull, with very little alteration in
prices.

best dry quallties were lower by from ss. to 100, per load;
common damp, from 101. to 151.; prices made from 121. to

275. to 34e. Oats, 18e. to 275.
RYE, Jan. 19.—Our Corn market this day was but thinly

business doing. Prices rather lower for ell kinds of grain.
Wheat, white, 624 to 645.; red, 48s. to 50s. Oats, 205. to
225. Peas, grey, 34e. to 365.
SHEFFIELD, Jan. 18.—At our market today we had a',
good supply of Wheat on offer, most of which, being of
rather an inferior quality, was sold up at a reduction of from
6d. to In. per load. In Barley, Beans, Oats, and Peas,
nothing doing.

- _
STOCKBRIDGE, Jan. 20.--Dry Wheats were in request,
Cet to sell a decline of 54. per load had to be submitted to.
ommon Wheats were fully 2s. per qr. lower ; prices from
48s. to 5,55. per qr. Maltsters were purchasers of best Bar-
' ley at last week's prices, but feed would be had Is. per qr.
lower. Beans and Peas were incliaed to go up from their
extreme scarcity. Good Oats were no cheaper, although
common might be had at something less; prices from 203. to
26.. 6d. par qr.
Srocitrom-ox-Tans, Jan. 19.-The delivery of Wheat I
from the farmers direct to the millers during the pat week •
has been very large, and the arrive la coastwise are also to a
good extent. This morning we had a fair show of grain at

enhanced rates. Beans without change from list week's

WORKINGTON, Jan. 19.-The business done today in the
grain market was brisk, and the supply plentiful from the
farmers. The supply coastwise has been very limited ; only
a few cargoes of malting Barley from the south. Farmers,
until lately, have shown an unwillingness to thresh much
beyond their own immediate wants. They are now, how-
ever, bringing in stock more freely, and the quality excellent.

; inferior, Bs. per 3 imp. budiels. A few inquiries for
seed. Two or three quantities exchanged hands for Spring

early part of the week, now succeeded by thaw and fine
frosty weather. The farmers are kept busy In putting down
Wheat. The supplies of grain have been moderate. At this
day's market very little Wheat appeared, and prices were
well kept up. Oats quickly bought., few good qualities offer-
ing. No Barley. The arrivals of Indian Corn are large,
\ the demand and prices on the decline. In other bread-stuffs
; a fair trade doing. A great many vessels have arrived.
