instances rather more ; but the advance was not freely paid,
and ordinary qualities left off very little better than last
week. There was decidedly less inquiry for seed Oats,
and prices are nominal. Beans are richer cheaper, the
condition being generally bad. Barley is Is. per quarter
under last week, and very little being now wanted for seed,
and the malting season drawing to a close, the demand alto.

HEREFORD, April 15.-There was a dull sale for Wheat,
and the best samples would scarcely realise the price of last
market day; fine red, 495., and white, 50i. per v., was the
average price. Fine malting Barley, of which there is but
little 113 offer, sells readily at a trifling advance. In Beans,
Peas, and Oata little doing, with a downward tendency.

lirstrecnox, April 15.—We had a small supply of Bar-
ley, bat liberal of Wheat ; both articles were Is. per qr.
dearer than last week. Not many Beans, Peas, or Oats
were offered, yet the demand for them waslanguid, at farmer
prices.

KENDAL, April 15.—The supply of grain was plentiful
and good; it was mostly sold at the prim. quoted. The
weather has been very cold. Several snow showers on the
mountains, but none on the lowlands. On the whole it has
been a cold sted time.

good sale at Is. to 2s. more money. Barley also in request,
but no improvement in price. In other things a good sale
at former prices.
PLYMOUTH, Aprills.—There has been a small demand for
Wheat the last three weeks, and prices have receded 3s. per
qr.; but millers being low in stock, there must be a sale at
some price rhortly. There has not been much alteration in
other grain, and but little doing. Wheat, 445. to 664.;
Barley, 265. to 305.; Oats, 20s. to 231. per qr.

KIRKCALDY, April I,s.—During the week the temperature
has been very low, and occasionally we have had sharp frost
during the night ; the weather, however, having been dry
since Monday, a great breadth of land has been sown with
Oats and Barley, in the finest possible condition. At our
country amulets this week we had little gesin of any kind
offering. Wheat and Oats sold at last week's rates; while
Barley, and Beans and Peas were the turn in favour of the
seller. Hero to-day we had very small supplies of Barley
and Oats, and only one sack of Beans. Wheat was in fair
supply, and the condition much improved; sales of Wheat
and Barley were quick, at fully last week's rates. Oats,
owing to the high prices asked, were a slow sale, and latterly
farmers were glad to accept same rates as last day. Wheat,
425. to 645. Barley, 28s. to 32a. Oats, 20s, to 245. per qr.
Oatmeal, 345. per bag of 2801bs.

ALTONA. April 7.—There has been a fair business in
Wheat on the spot this week for England, but since the re-
ceint of Mondays accounts from London, buyers have held
back, although purchases might be made on easier terms in
consequence, The currency today was about 38s. 6d, to 40s.
for 6211 m. to 631 be. red Upland, and unless our supplies fall
oft considerably; we expect a further decline in the course of
next week. Barley, on the spot, purchased at 241. 6d. to
241. 9d. for 601 be. to SGilbs. Seale. Rape Oil, after declining
further for next month's delivery, has become decidedly
firmer ; for immediate shipment something done at 30s. 6d.,
but nothing more offering at that figure. Red Cleverseed
very flat, and the &nest runs of 1846 to be had at about 334.
White also lower, and a few small purchases made at 321. for
fine, up to 345. 6d. for extra-fine seed of 1846. For ship-
ment at outports there is nothing whatever doing.
DANTZIC, April B.—We have lately had a very good show
of new Wheat, in excellent condition, weighing 69 lbs. to
to 611bs. ; and, having several orders on hand for British ac-
count, a fair extent of business took place, at prices varying
from 395. to 425. per qr. free on board.

GRONINOEN, April 11.-Wheat firm =din good demand;
Rye and Buckwheat, owing to large stocks held, and many
holders forced to realise, being in want of fonds, Is. ca. to
2s. 91. per qr. lower. Barley in short supply, and Is. per
qr. dearer. Beans meet a steady sale at about last week's
currency. Oats since our last report bare declined slightly,
but only on black and white seed, which may be noted Is.
per qr. lower. The feeling for this article is much improved,
and in the face of the dull accounts received per English mail
last evening, this article to-day brought a slight advance.
Peas dull. Rapeseed without acquiry. Currency as follow. :
Wheat, red Oldambster, 62Ibs. per bush., 381. 3d. Rye,
new Omlander, 571b5., 255. 6d. ; Kolonie, 591bir., 275. 64.

Hansrno, April 11.—Owing to the finiltues which are
taking place all over the Continent, business in general is in
a deproscel state. For Baltic shipment, nothing has been
done, as there are very few offers or buyers. Some parcels
of Wheat here were told today at 365. to 375. for 61 to 621b5.,
but holders generally want more. Same Barley is offering
at 24r. to 253. per qr. In Oats, Beans, and Fess, nothing
has been done. Rapeseed is very flat at 241. to 261. per last.
The finer qualities of red and white Cloverseed arc inquired
for at reduced prices, and becoming scarce. Both Rape and
Linseed Cakes are more in demand.
ROSTOCK, April 10.—Although a few shipments of Wheat
for England are in progress, there is a general inactivity,
owing to some degree of uncertainty as to our vessels
passing the Sound without hindrance. Best, 621 b. to 631 b.
Wheat was easily procurable to-day at 384. per qr., free on
board, and if our supplies should at all increase, and political
matters remain in the present state of uncertainty, we ex-
pect a further decline of Is. to 24. per qr. Of Barley, little
or none comes to market, and 20e. to 20s. Gd. is the nominal
quotation.
STETTIN, April 10.—We have bad almost no transactions
in Wheat during last week. 621 h. Pomeranian Wheat, we
quote 355. per qr. f.0.b., and 611 b. tickermark, 36a. per qr.
f.o.b. The supplies of Barley ctntinue moderate, and Pome-
ranian quality is saleable at 18s. per qr. f.o.b. Fine Oder-
bruck, 211 x. per qr. f.o.b. Plenty of English vessels have ar-
rived here, and freights are in consequence low.
