I which the greater pert consisted, was diMeult to quit at a
slight reduction. Beans and Pees were each le. cheaper.
Barley of fine quality, but little alteration.
CIRINCISTER, March 6.—We continue well 'applied with
' grain of all descriptions, and the attendance of buers more
I numerous than of late. Wheat commands the prices of this
day se'nnight. Barley quite as Rood. Oats and Beans
witl-out alter.tioa. Wheat-, 101. 103. to 131. 10+. per load.
Barley, 295. to 335. p:r qr. Oat., 203. to 271. Beans,
40s. to 48s.

DONCASTER, March 4.-We had a full average sup* Of
Wheat, also of Barley. Oats and Beans very abundant.
Fine heavy samples of Wheat were taken off early at, in
some instances, 6d. advance, and all qualities sold freely in
the early part of the market at fully last week's prices. bob.
sequently the market became fiat, and sales were difficult to
make for ordinary qualities at last week's prices. Oats
suitable for used seal at full prices; but mixed qualities are
only saleable at lower prices. Fine Beans unaltered ;
middling and damp parcels 6.1. to Is. lower, with a very
heavy trade. There was less inquiry for Barley to-day, and
prices about Is. lower. Wheat, new, 16e. to 18s. ; fine,
19s. 6d. to 22.. ; old, 17s. to 191. ; fine, 201. to 29.. Blend.

fine, 245. to 265. Barley, 295. to 30s. ; fine malting, 31s. to
355. per quarter.
HADLEIOH, March 6.-We had a dull market to-day, but
no material variation in the price of grain, if dry and goad.
Reissman. March 4.-We have no alteration to notice is
the pries of Wheat, the trade being steady, wilt a good de-
mand at former prices. Fine malting Barley, commands a
steady sale, at quite as much money; but middling samples,
for grinding, are dull, and a turn in favour of the buyer.
Beans and Peas are Is. per qr. lower. Oat. steady, at late
prices.
HUNTINGDON, March 4.-The supplies of both Wheat
sod Barley were moderate, and prices the same as last week.
The wetness of the weather prevents the sowing of Beans
and Peas, sad causes a dull sale for them. Oat. are rather
cheaper.
H ERDAL, March 4.-We had a better attendance, and
more grain shown. Prices were a little lower. The weather
la seasonable for gardners.
LANCASTER, March 4 -We have had a geed quantity of
Meal, which sold at last quotations. Wheat but a moderate
supply, sad sold at 6d. advance of last week's prices, say 31s.
per load.
LEICESTER, March 4.-We had considerable activity in
the Cora trade, especially in best Wheat, whieh sold freely
at Is. per qr. advance over last week's prices, with more
demand than of late for middling sons. Barley, Beane, and
Oats unaltered. Wheat., from 51s. to 575. Barle 28e. to
335. Beane, 40s. to 50s. ; old, 541. Oats, 245. to 33.. per qr.
Flour, fine, 411. ; seconds, 391. ; thirds, 375. per auk.
NOirrasstems, March 4.-There has been a liberal sup-
ply of Wheat, and the best qualities are in request at former
rates; other sorts are much neglected. The show of malting
Barley has also been plentiful, and the trade heavy, without
alteration. Other things as last week.
Palomar, March 4.-The imports from Ireland during
the week are unimportant. The renewal of duties conse-
quent upon the suspended corn law eat of 1846 coming
into operation, has inspired confidence in the trade gene-
rally, and, with an improved demand, prices have had an
upward tendency. We had a Mali supply of farmers' Wheat
to-day, which met a brisk sale, at en advance of 6d. per
windle. Irish must also be noted about 24. per bushel
higher, and in fair request. Flour held fo. la per pack
more money. Beans recovered the depression of 6d. per
windle noted in our last. Pear without change. Oats nomi-
nally id. told. per bushel dearer. Irish Oatmeal attracting
more attention, an improvement of 3d. per load was eats-
blished, and English was cleared off at an amendment of
6d. per 2401ke. Indian Corn and Corn Meal barely support
our quotations. The average price of Wheat this week
60s. 9d. per imp. qr.
RICHMOND, YORKSHIRE, March 4.-Our market was
thinly supplied with Wheat, but a fair supply of other grain.
Wheat sold from 6s. 34. to 7s. 9d.; Oats, 24. 83. to 3s. 6d. ;
Barley, 4s. 3d. to 4s. 9d. ; and Beans, 4s. 6d. to ss. 3d. per
bushel.

SHREWSBURY, March 4.—Wheat and fine Oats were held
for more money, but Barley wax a shade lower. The
market ruled u follows at the close:—Wheat, Gs. sd. to
7s. ld. ; Barley, 4s. to 4s. 3d. ; Oats, 2.e. Bd. to 6s. per insy.

SWINDON, March 6.-Of Wheat the quality was very in-
different. Beet white fetched 575. per qr.; red, 655. ; second-
rate, 605.; prier, 42a. to 455. Barley WWI in good demand,
particularly fine heavy malting-35a. given ; next in quality,
33e. per qr. ; indifferent, 28s. to 31e. Oats in moderate de-
mend ; some good sound for seed making last week's prices;
others, rather lower; prices ran from 21s. to 28s. per qr.
Beans sold better. Peaa, white, 47a. to 48s. per qr.; grey
sad maple, 42a. to 45e.
AWEITERDLW, Feb. 29.-Several parcels of Wheat have
changed hands during the put week, ehit fly of Polish and
infenor sorts, at rather declining prices. We have had seve-
ral buyers here lately from England, and rather extensive
sales have been made of Kubanka and red Odessa. Barley is
less firm, but the article has not attracted much attention.
Oats may be bought considerably lower. Seeds of all de-
scriptions an rapidly declining in value.
DANTztc, Feb. 23.-Finest high mixed Wheat, 475. to
48s. ; best, 441. to 455. ; good, 41.. to 42.. inferior, 395. to
40s. Rye, 28s. to 295. Barley, 245. to 255. Peas, 30s. to
32a. Oats, 17s. to 185. Linseed, 345. to 355. per qr. free on
board.

Gaocntrottn, Feb. 28.-The supply of Wheat at our mar-
ket continues small, and more or less affected by the damp-
ness of the weather. Prices of this articles are very firmly
supported, and dry samples of really fine quality readily
command an advance of ls. per qr., whilst the ill-conditioned
lots meet a tardy sale, without, however, being cheaper. Rye,
owing to limited supplies, 6d. per qr. dearer. Buck-wheat
in good demand, at previous rates. Barley a steady sale, at
fully last week's currency. Oats continue to come freely to
hand, but the demand is quite of a retail character ; the hubs
business dose being at about previous rates. Beans and
Peas are unaltered in value, and continue with little or
no demand. Rapeseed dull. Prices: Wheat, red Om-
binder, 591 be. to 621 b. per bushel, 83a. 3d. to 38s. 3d. ;

cent. per last for Oats.
1.1AMBI:11.0, Feb. 29.-Flat accounts from all 'sides in-
duced some of our holders of Wheat to give way, and
eventually a few sales of 621 b. to 631 b. Wheat were made at 40s.
to 41.. per qr. here, at which price there are still buyers, but it
is now held at 425., and a good deal taken to granary. From
the Lower Baltic sellers ask 40s. to 41s, and occasional pur-
chases might be made still lower. Stale Barley, 5111 n., is now
offering at 275. for arrival here. Seeland, 63 to 54 lb. was
sold at 20s, Bcl. per qr. on board. Jutland can be bought at
190. to 20s. Oats are held more firmly, hut no purchases
have been made. Beans are to be had rather lower. Peas
are flat. Red Clover seed finds occasional buyers at late
prices, principally for the interior; white continues very de-
pressed. Rape cakes are offering rather lower.
March 2.-Wheat: Anh. Magd. red, 1181128 ; Marks. and
Brunswick, 118 128• Meek. andPom., 118 128; Holstein,

80 105. Vetches, 80 112. Rapeseed, 156 164.
ROSTOCK, Feb. 28.-Though some reports to London may
have anticipated a fall in price by quoting as low as 41s. per
quarter, cash, free ou board, and freight, we cannot buy at
that as yet. Last week as high as 40s. per quarter, free on
board, was paid, but with a good supply we may, in the course
of the week perhaps, buy Is. or so lower. The last London so-
' taunts indicate a better tone in the trade, which will tend to
sustain our prices.
Sr. PETEitsIiCKOR, Feb. 19th.-The weather has been
changeable; now 8 to 10 deg. Reaumur of frost, but still no
snow. The reports from the country, relative to the corn is
the ground, are very unfavourable; snow being much wanted,
together with apenod of severe cold. The value of all kinds
of grain is nominal ; very few transactions of any importance
taking place.

CoLotzsvga, March 4.—There was a large show of Sheep,
but a great lack of buyers, consequently the trade was un-
usually dull, and the few isles effected were at a decline of
from 3s. to 4e. per head. Interior qualities pared altogether
unnoticed. The show of Beasts was by no means limited,
and, except for the Tay best qualities, the trade was very
heavy. Milch Cows continue in demand, and sell freely.
In Pigs there was no material alteration in value.-8u ply :

NORWICH, March 4.—Our market exhibited a good show
of store Cattle, and, being but few buyers, tnde was dull:
in fact, nothing like a clearance could be effected. Vat
Semi, a good show ; trade heavy, at from Ba. to Ba. 6d. per

dull in de at last week's prices ; keeping Sheep from 38e.
