BIRMINGHAM, Nov. s.—At this day's market there
was a 'imited supply of Wheat, and it was taken off early at
a reduction of lc per quarter. Fine Barley 2s. per quarter
cheaper. Grinding very scarce, and fully locker. Oats, 6d.
to lc per quarter cheaper. No progress could be made in
Beaus without submitting to a reduttion. Peas a good deal
inquired for.

BRISTOL, Nov. s.—Since our last report, we have
few arrivals. A large attendance of farmers at this day'.
market, which was dull at la. per quarter decline on Whea,
and 2a. on Barley. But uo large sales could be effected, and
few were inclined to give way in prices.

DEVIZES, Nov. s.—We had a large supply of
Wheat, which met with a dull vale from Is. to 2s. a quarter
under last week's prices, a considerable quantity remaining
unsold. Barley was in large supply, and sold slowly at a
decline of 2s. per quarter. tor Oats, Beans, and Peas there
was but little business doing. We quote to-day as follows :
Wheat, best white, 61s. to 700. per quarter ; red ditto, 465.
to 68s. ; inferior ditto, 404. to Ws. ; Barley, 33a. to 48a. ;
Oats, 265. to 325. ; Beans, new, 445. to 625.; Peas, 40s. to
445. per sack. Poultry, butter, eggs, &c., still maintain high
rates.

GLOIXESTF.R, Ocr. 5.-English Wheat advanced in
price during the early part of the month; but has since re-
ceded to within 2s. to 3s. per quarter of its former value;
many of the samples come to hand in bad condition. Our
consumption of foreign Wheat in October has only amounted
to 5,000 quarters, while our arrivals during the same period
do not exceed 3,000 qrs., and the stock now held may be esti-
mated at 33,300 quarters. The advance during the month
must be quoted at 2s. upon common, and 3s. per quarter
upon fine samples of foreign Wheat, with very few of the
latter left on hand. Our general currency stands as under :
English. good dry, red to finest white, 7s. 3d. to Bs. 2d. per
imperial bushel, at Gloucester. Irish, Gs. 3d. to 6s. 9d. per
60 lbs. Foreign, free Dantsic, 88. 3d. to 88. 9d. ; Polish
Odessa and Baltic red, 78. 6d. to 'a.; common soft Odessa,
73. 3d. to 7s. Ga.; hard, 7s. to 7s. 3d. each, per 60 lbs. in
Gloucester. The Barley crop has proved, both in quantity
and quality, even worse than was expected. Melting sam-
ples have met a brisk demand, at constantly improving
p.ices, and our present quotat,ons show an advance of fully
ss. per quarter since the d..te of our last. The small delive-
ries of home growth, and the reduced state of imported
cocks, have led to an advance of se. per quarter on grinding
Barley, of which the supply it still qe;te unequal to the de-
mand. Indian Corn has continued to advance, and cargoes
already afloat have found buyers at extreme rates ; parcels
close at hand, and of fine quality, have been in great re-
quest, and for such extreme prices world be given, say
or even 60s. per quarter; while recent importations to the
leading Irish markets have been entirely exhausted, and the
last sales theee for consumption equal Me. 6d. per 430 lbs.
For forward shipment, cargoes are offered at .2a. to 525. and
upwards, according to quality and date of delivery. The
prosi.ect of no supply from Ireland has caused the holders of
Oats to demand still higher terms. Our stack of Beans has
been reduced during the month from 9,100 quarters to 4,400
quarters, which small quantity are held with great firmness,
at an advance of 2s. 6d. to 3s. per quarter upon the prices
current at the date of our last. We hear of no fresh supplies
of importance being near at hand. Our currency for spring
Corn stands as under:-Barley, 38s. to 465. for malting,
per imperial quarter; grinding, 355. to 375. per 392 lbs.
Oats, English white, old, 325. to 345. ; black, 288. to 295.
per imperial quarter. Welsh. 28a. Gd. to 295. 6d. per 3121 b.
Irish, lino Wexford, 30s. to 328. ; Wicklow and Newry,
choice, 325. to 335. ; black, 28a. to 295., all per 3121 be.
Beans, English, old, 6s. to 6s. 6d. per 65 1-3 lbs. ; no Irish
on offer ; foreign, French, ss. 101. to 6s. ; Egyptian, ss. 10d.
to 6s. per 6,5 1-3 lbs. Peas, English grinders, is. Gd. to
be. Bd. ; boilers, 7s. 6d. to Ss. 3d. per imperial bushel.
NEWBURY, NOV. 5.-The supply of Wheat Wall con-
siderable, yet there appeared but little spirit among the mil-
lers, factors, &c., though fine samples were offered at least
2.. per qr. lower than last week. White, old, weighing
6211 n. per bushel, was sold at 68s. per qr., being 111. per
load • new do., weighing 661h5., fetched 70s. or 171. 10e. do.
Old red of the same weight would have been bought at 55e.
do. ; and new do., at his. do. Barley, fine new Chevalier,
54Ibs. weight, mold at from 40s. up to 48e. ; grinding do.,
from 30s. to 40s. do., weighing from 501bs. to 521b5., being
also at a decline of from 2.5. to 3s. per quarter. Oats, fine
old Poland and Dutch. sold for 39.14. per qr. ; Tartarian, from
225. to 265. do. ; black do., from 245. to 28s. do. Beans, old,
from 455. to 555. ; new do., from 40s. to 50s. do. ; Peas,
boiling, from 48s. to 58s. do. ; maple do., from 40s. to 60s.
do. ; gray, 38e. to 41s. do., being lower by 2.. per qr. each of
them. Winter Tame, from 6s. to 7e. per bushel. Malt, from
fine Chevalier Barley, from Ws. to 665. per qr. ' • common do.,
56a. to 60s. ; Flour, Households, from Ms. to 561. per tack,
being also at a reduction of 2s. per sack.
NEWARK, Nov. 4.-Wheat, white, 625. to 648.;
red, 61e. to 645. ; old white, 60s. to 625. ; old red, 525. to 535.

iI.OMFORD, Nov. 4.—We had an ample supply. of
Grain in our market to-day, at a great reduction in price.
Busing was unusually dull. Wheat, 649. to 665. Barley,
445. to 48s. Rye, 365. to 40s. Oats, 245. to 30s. Beans,
40s. to 465. Peas, 445. to 465. per qr.

•
LtmEnlcx, Nov. 4.—We have fine moderate
weather the last three days. Wheat market to day not quite
so large as last, say about 2,000 barrels ; and, in consequence
of quotations of leading English markets, ruled dull, farmers
for a long while held out, but ultimately the turn was in
favour of buyers, by about Id. per stone, from last rates, or
equal to the currency of this day week, millers only buying,
and prices were Is. 9id. to ls. Ild. for red, and Is. 10d. to
Is. I I td. for fine white Wheat. Oats in large supply, and
easier, bought also from above causes, prices paying being
134 d. to 14 id. Not much Barley offering ; and this grain
being also in request, for grinding for food purposes, brings
Is. 3d. per stone and upwards. No arrivals of foreign grain.

WATERFORD, Nov. 4.—Our market since Saturday
has ruled dull, and purchasers have not evinced any inclina-
tion to increase their stocks of grain. Wheat must be
quoted cheaper by Is. per barrel; but both Oats and Barley,
from their scarcity, maintain late rates. In the value of
Flour no change can be noted; the consumption of the
coarser descriptions of this article continues very great.
Indian Corn Meal and Oatmeal remain stationary at recent
prices.

EDIN BURGH, Nov. 4.—To-day we had a large supply
of Wheat frum the growers, the bulk of %Lich was of
secondary quality. The dull accounts from Mark•lane
caused the market to open languidly. and a decline of 2a.
per quarter had to be submitted to, and even thereat a
clearance was not effected. Foreign and English were
offered freely at Is. to 2s. per quarter under the cut rency of
last Wednesday, with a limited sale for either. There w•as a
large quantity, of Barley brought forward; the sale was
exceedingly dull. Prime samples must be quoted Is., and
inferior 2s. per quarter cheaper. Oats were difficult of sale,
without yielding the turn in favour of buyers. White Peas
are Is. per quarter lower. Beans without alteration. Old
'Wheat, top, 76e; average, 60s. 3d. ; Barley, top, 435.; Oats,
top, 38s. ; Beans, 63s , top.

GLASGOW, Nov. 4.—Since the 28th ult., with the
exception of Irish produce, the imports of Grain and Flour
have been on an extensive sale—viti Grangemouth, 3,700
qrs. Wheat, 6,600 qrs. Barley, and 800 qrs. Peas have arrived
coastwise; and 600 qrs. Wheat, 3,206 qrs. Barley, 1,300 qrs.
Oats, and 680 qrs. Peas from abroad. From Ireland the
arrivals have consisted of 600 qrs. Wheat, 1,300 sacks Flour,
and about 4,000 qrs. Oats ; and from Canada, 6,500 barrels
Flour. About 1,700 qrs. Beans have arrived from Alex-
andria. The Wheat trade has ruled dull throughout the
week, and offers to accept lower prices have not promoted
business to any extent; but Canada sweet Flour, of which
there is not much in the market, has found buyers. Oats
have supported the recent advance; and good Beans for
feeding, as well as for grinding, have sold readily. The high
rates asked for Barley has checked business. Irish-made
Oatmeal has almost disappeared from our market. At this
day's market transactions in Wheat and Flour appeared to
be suspended, and we quote the former fully Is. per boll, and
the latter Is. per barrel, and 2s. to 3s. per sack lower. Oats
scarcely varied, as in the absence of Irish Oatmeal, the

NEWBURY, Nov. s.—The trade in this article
seems still looking upwards, and sales more easily effected.
For the best Farnham' 84 to 8/.los. per cwt. has been given;
and for other descriptions of Hants, Sussex, and Kent liws,
the prices vary ; from 51. to 71. 7s. per cwt. is obtained readily.
Old Hops, Kenos, are at 51. per cwt.; the retail prices run
between la. 3d. and la. 9d. per lb.

METALS.
GLASGOW, Nov. 4.—The price of Pig Iron, free on
board, remains at 695., 3-6ths No. 1 and 2..itbs No. 3; and
No. 1,70 a. to 711., nett cub ; and very little demand.

SKINS.

NEWBURY, Nov. s.—The best Southdowns were
selling at 3s. 6d. each; the best half•hreds from 2d. to 3d.
more ; Lamb's Skins made from 21. 6d. to 2s. 9d. each ; best
Os-Hides sold at 3d. to 31d. per lb., or 4.. to 4s. 2.1. per
stone of 14 lbs. Lamb Skins, 41d. to sd. per lb. ; butcher's
Fat, from 4s. 3d. to 4s. Bd. per stone ditto.

CATTLE, &c.
SMITHFIELD, Two o'clock.—The number of Beads
to-day is large, owing to very extensive importations of
foreign ; from our own gracing districts we are but mode-
rately supplied. On the whole trade is worse, owing, iu a
great measure, to the state of the dead markets, and mild
weather, since Monday, preventing the butchers from
slaughtering what they bought on that day. Best Scots,
&e., cannot be fairly quoted at more than 4.., although in a
few instances rather more is obtained. Best Short Herne
make about 3s. 10d. ; second-rate, with difficulty, make
Monday's price*, which are low, and many remain unsold.
We have nearly 600 from Holland snit Germany, nearly 300
Lincoln, and Leicester,, about 100 Mitch Cows, and about
100 from various parts of the country. But for foreign aid
we ihould have been very scantily supplied with Sheep; for
the reason above stated trade in this department is also
exceedingly heavy, and lower prices are for the most part sub-
mita d to. The quality of the Dutch and German Sheep,
however, being only second rate, seireely interferes
with the demand fit good Down., and this description
is still staking a trifle over 55., and best Longwools about
Is. Bd. We have 1,440 from Holland and Germany. We
have a great many Calves on offer; the demand for them is
very limited, at a reduction of nearly 4(1. Ik r Sib., it being
difficult to make 4s fal. of a very choice one. Several remain
unsold. We have 19 from Holland. We continue to be
abundantly supplied with Pigs, against the sale of which the
late mild weather especially operates. Large Hogs sell very
slowly, at 3a. Bd. to 4s. 4d. Small Porkers more readily, at
4s. 6d. to Ss.

AITLESIIAW FAIR, Nov. s.—There were but few
lots of Dorset and Down Sheep left unsold from yesterday
for sale to-day; those might have been sold had not the in st
extravagant prices been demanded. Three time. over were
some sheep sold in the fair ; one lot selling the first time at
4.55. each ; the second, at 48s. ; and the last party wanted
50s. per head—thus the same Sheep in the fair rose in price
6s. each, but such dealing cannot be quoted as a ruling cri-
terion, the actual advance since the lut Wevhill and Apple-
ahaw fairs being from 4s. to ss. per bead. feasts did not go
off so briskly as Sheep, some being on the field today, and
others driven to other fairs for sale ; a few were sold here at
a further reduction of at least 3a. per head. A large quan-
tity of store Pigs were brought, yet the sales were but few,
two-thirds, at least, being driven away unsold ; the prices
were 'sirloin, from 10s. up to 60s. each for lean stores ; for
fat porkers, about 9s. 6d. per score; bacon do., 9s. do.

IPSWICH, Nov. 3.—The Cattle market presented a
lively appearance in regard to the quantity of Oath- exhi-
bited, but business was rather flat. Fat Tweets hrough• from
71. to 7s. 3d. ; fit Sheep, from 9s. to 9s. 4d. per stone; but of
the latter the supply was short. There were a few 11,iggets
mold at from 28s. to 30A. each.

NEWIIURY, Nov. s.—There were a consid, rabic
quantity of tat and lean stock at this market ; the fat Beasts
were 2d. per stone of Sibs. lower than last week; the lean
ditto were also slow of sale, burrs asking for a reduction,
which in some instances was submitted to at s*, per head
kW. Sheep were also brought more in quantity than for
some weeks past. Lean ones retained their pricer, but fat
ones wcro lower, from 3s. to 4s. per head. Pigs were in
fair quali,y, (although Appleshaw Fair is this day for the
sale of such) the lean Hop and Pigs were almost ur.ssleable.
The fat bacon Hogs, ready killed, and fit for the curing
troughs, did not fetch more than from to 9s. Go. per score
poundi; small porkers, about 10s. to 10s. Gd., th. 2 outside
price.
WAKEFIELD, Nov. 4.—The show of beasts was
very large, and the number of Sheep 7,000. Bu.iness dull,
there not being many buyers at market. A great part of the
stock remained unsold. Beef, ss. Gd. to Gs. Gd. per stone :
Mutton, Gd. per lb.

SOUTHALL, Nov. 4.—Our supplies of Beef and
Mutton were not extensive for the season, nes ertheless we
had a flat trade, and prices have receded since last week for
all descriptions of stock. Beef made from 2.. 4d. to 4s. ;
Mutton, 4s. to As. 2d. ; Veal, 4s. to 44. fat. ; rk, 3e. 4d. to
4s. Gd. per stone of 81b., sinking the offal.
BANDON FAIR, Nov. 4.—Tho annual fair WllB
thronged with Pigs, Horses, lean Cows, and a number of
poor Sheep. The consequence was, all wero sellers, and
nothing bought but by the jobbers, who hod a profitable
day on the whole. Some of the best Sheep, for which 265,
I were refused at the monthly fair, with difficulty brought
205,; large Pigs of prime description brought about
375. per cwt.; nice small Porkers of about 10 stone,
went from 30s. to 34c, or 245. to 275. the cwt.; slips
and smaller Pigs, according to weight, would not
have averaged more than from 18a. to 22e. per cwt.
The general run of Sheep was from 12a to 17e. &I. Of Beef
there was little worth mentioning ; what was in brought
364. to 38s. per cwt. There were between four and five hun-
dred horses is the fair, but not twenty of that number sold.
Perhaps a more sure co itcrion of the state of this country
could not be found than in the Pig fair, where that animal,
of which the poorer classes take the meat care, and on which
they mainly depend, could be seen in all the stages of poverty
to the gaunt, filthy, and odious appearance of famine."
EDINBURGH, Nor. 4.—This morning our supply
of Sheep was 3,033, being nineeen more than on last Wed-
' nesday. The supply being greater than the demand, sales
were exceedingly dull; notwithstanding which, last week's
prices were maintained. Top of the best Mutton, 6d. ; cur-
rent, bd. ; inferior, down to 4d. and 1 per lb. A great
number left the market unsold. We had a much lees supply
of Cattle to-day, the number being only 321, or 100 less than
lon last market. The demand was good, and prices, com-
pared with last week, rose about 3d. per stone. A superior
lot of eight 'Bullocks, fed by Kenneth Spoon, Esq., of Castle-
ton, brought as high as 201. a head. Top of the best Beef,
As Gd.; current, 's. 9d. to Bs.; inferior, down to Gs. and
Gs. 6d. per Dutch stone. Nearly all sold.
