Ilnue very small, with rather higher values. Indian Oren is net

WATERFORD, Dee. 15.-A continuance of heavy rain has
kept our market very scantily suppliel with farmers' produce since
daturday last ; this added to the improved accounts from most of the
markets, has imparted more firmness to the trade here, and
prima of all descriptions el grain, as well as Flour, have had an up-
ward tendency during the week. Wheat, both home grown and Bi-
rchen, has been Neely taken, at an advance of 6.1. per barrel on the
best, and ad per barrel on interior wimples. In Barley scarcely any
trenewitioss have occurred. The same remark applies to Oats, the
big% rates demanded by holders having eneektd business. The few
sales mode have been at an improvement of 22. per barrel for both
label and white. Phut of the best quality is in better request, a. full
and the coarser kinds sell readily at the enhancement of id. to
tra! r. auk. For Indian Corn we have experienced an active demand
all through the week, aud, during the last day or two, an advance of
id. to Id. per barrel has been realised. The prewat quotations :-

been dull and hazy, with oecasionaliy heavy rains, by which the con-
dition of the new Wheat now thrashing is much adected. At our

grain offering. Buyers attempted to purchase Barley cheaper which
checked sales, and they succeeded only in a few instances; Wheat and
Oats sold readily, at last week's prima. Mere. to-day, we had a very
small supply of Wheat, which the bakers took off at fully Is. per qr.
