CORN.
hfaax-LANE.—The receipts of Wheat into this port
:ince Monday have been but moderate, and the few parcels
of :I.:.'sex Wheat fresh up since that day were not readily
disposed of. but no alteration in value tan be quoted.
We continue to be but shortly supplied with Barley, which
commands a reedy Bale at the extreme quotations of Monday
last.
The return at foot shows a fair srrival of Oats. This ar-
ticle was held by factors with much firmness for a trifling ad-
vance, which rather checked business, but where sales were
made Monday's rates were in most cases exceeded.
Beans and Peas fully as dear.

BANBURY, Ocr. 22.-Business this day was at the
following rates : Old Wheat, 61. 4d. to 7e. Ga. per bushel ;
new ditto, 6s. Bd. to 7s. Bd. Beans, 6s. to ,is. Bd. per bushel.
Barley, 31s. to 425. per quarter. Oats, 265. to 333. per qr.
Flour, 41s. to 50s. per sack.
BRISTOL, Ocr. 22.-We have wet and blowing
weather, no foreign arrivals, and our supplier of Irish grain
to this market are confined to a few cargoes of Oats and
Barley, with small lots by the steamers. But our farmers
have afforded their Wheies freely at 586. to 645. per quarter,
very fine up to 708., and English Flour is advanced to 60s.
and 525. per sack. Few barrels in first hands. The sale of
foreign Wheat is in moderate quantities at prices asked, say
68a. to 665. per quarter for Black Sea, and qualities are
above our farmers' rates. Oats scarce, and 21s. to 34*. per
quarter. Barley, for grinding, 336. to 36a. per 4001 b.,
scarce ; ditto, malting, 40*. to 485. ; fine Norfolk, 485., 495..
60s. to 525. per quarter ; finest distilling Barley, 355. to 365.
per 4001 b. Much demand for grinding Barley, but the high
prices asked for fine malting checked the sale. With full
attendance at this day's markets, I do not think that much
business was done.
BRADFORD, OCT. 20.-A larger quantity of Wheat
than usual was pitched at this day's market, most of which
was in prime condition, and the quality of many of the
samples was of the choicest description ; there was a flatness
about the market, and many of the parcels remained unsold
at the close of the day, and prices must be quoted at about
the same as before. In Barley the trade was more brisk,
and making samples were dispoeed of at rather higher prices.
Old Beans and Oats of good description found purchasers at
higher prices, most being sold. Peas remained unaltered.
BIRMINGHAM, Ocr. 22.-During the present week
few transactions are reported in Wheat, but for what has
changed hands full prices were obtained. Barley has realised
an advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter. For Oats, we have a
slow sale, at former prices. Beans, Is. per quarter higher.
At this day's market there was a large supply of English
Wheat, and rather higher prices were obtained at the com-
mencement; but it clased dull at the currency of this day
se'ennight, and a good deal left unsold. Barley, 2s. per
quarter higher. Oats sold very slowly, but lower prices were
not submitted to. Beans and Pea la. per quarter higher.

DEVIZES, Ocr. 22.-We had to-day a moderate
supply of Wheat, part of which was somewhat out of con-
dition. The best samples sold at about Is. a quarter above
last week's prices, but the inferior lots were dull of sale.
Barley was in fair supply ; there was a brisk demand for the
ben qualities, which were rather dearer. Nearly everything
was sold. The supply of Oats was good, and the sale dull.
The same may be said of Beans. Peas were in short supply,
and but little business doing. The supply of Rye was short,
and the trade slow , price, from 203. to 21s. a sack. Tares
were in large supply, and the sale dull ; price, 19s. to 21s. a
sack. Wheat, best white, 666. to 725. per qr. • do. red, 68s.
to 70s. do. ; inferior, do., 40s. to 52a. do.; Barley, 31s. to 475.

495. to 545. do. Bread, 13d. to 14d. the bib loaf.
KIDDERMINSTER, OCT. 22.-Wheat sold to-day at
a slight enhancement in price over last week's rates. Barley
and Beans unaltered in value. Prices ranged as follow :
Wheat 7s. 2d. to Bs. 6d.; making Barley, 51.2 d. to 6a. 104.;
Beans, ss. 4d. to Gs. Bd.; Peas, ss. 4d. to 7s. 6d. per bushel.
NEWBURY, OCT. 22.-The supply of Wheat was
less than usual. Best white may be quoted 2s. dearer, and
red do. nearly the same. There was a brisk sale of every
quality, at an advance of at least la. per quarter. Barley,
bright, and weighing 10 score 10 lbs., made the high price of
48s. per quarter; do. 10 score 4 lbs., do. 42.. per do. Some
light, weighing not more than 9 score 10 Ir,s., from 355. to
38s. do.; goo 4 Barley Meal, from 20s. to 21s. per qr. There
were but few Oats in the market of first-rate quality ; some
inferior sold at 26e. up to 28.. Beans still scarce; best sold
at 505.; some lighter, at 465. to 48*. per qr. Peas were pur-
chased with difficulty at any price. Americ to Maize, 403.
per qr. ; some at 38s. per do. `Minter Tares were dearer to-
day, from 6a. to Gs. 6d. per bushel. Flour, from 523. to 38s.
per sack ; Malt, from 625. to 655. per quarter.
DUNBAR, OCT. 20.-We had a large supply of
grain in our market to-day. Sales were easily made, and
prices remain much aboat the same as last day's. Wheat,
weighing 61 lbs. brought 705., and prices to 38s. Barley,
weighing 501 lbs. brought 38a., and prices to 28a. 6d. Oats,
weighing 44 lbs., brought 335., and prices to 275. Gd. Beans
and Peas, weighing 631 lbs., brought 523. per quarter.
EDINBURGH, Ocr. 21.-At this day's market, we
bad a very large supply of all sorts of corn from the growers,
the quality of which was much affected by the continued
wet weather we have experienced during the past week.
Wheat met a very limited demand, at a decline of Ir. to 2s.
per quarter from the rates of last Wednesday. During the
week there has been no alteration in the value of free
foreign or English Wheat, but buyers having got into stock
for the time, salea have been very dull; and on the moderate
business done to day, they generally had the turn in their
favour. Barley fully maintained the prices of this day
se'nnight. Oats were a very dull sale, especially secondary
qualities, and all kinds must be quoted Is. to 2s. per quarter
cheaper. Wheat, old, top, 765.; average, 66e. Id. Wheat,

Wheat, 635. Barley, top, 445. ; average, 395. Oats, top, 365.;

GL.ISGOW, Ocr. 21.-Since the 14th inst., the arrivals
at Grangemouth have consisted for the most part of 2,800
qrs. Wheat, 4,700 qrs. Barley, and 700 qra. Beans from the
Coast, and about 3,000 qrs. Barley from abroad. The im-
ports from Ireland have been trifling; but some vessels with
Oats are reported to be in the river, and a cargo of about
2,300 qrs. Wheat from Odessa. Transactions in Wheat to a
fair extent were renewed at the close of the week, without
any change in prices occurring. Fine qualities of white have
been most in request, and 363. per 2401 be. has been obtained
for Wisliesch. Flour has met a good demand at 365. per
barrel, at which rate holden were not free sellers. Oats,
suitable for milling, have advanced Gd. to Is. per boll; and
Oatmeal about 2s. per load. Barley has been held for higher
prices. Beans and Peas have been steady. At this day's
market only a moderate amount of business took place in
Wheat, very full prices being required for all descriptions.
Oats and Oatmeal were in good demand at the advance noted
during the week. Barley being far from plentiful and in
request, fully 2s. per boll over previous rates was obtained.
Other articles were steady. Wheat, per 24011a5., English

CATTLE, &e,
SMITHFIELD, Two o'clock.—Again we are disap-
pointed with respect to our for( ign supplies, the cargoes
expected to this day's market not hissing arrived. The num-
ber of beasts on offer is very small, in consequence of which,
and a fine cold morning, trade has completely recovered
from the check it received on Monday. Good Scots, with
which we are but scantily supplied, make fully 4e. 4d., and
the best Short Horns rather over 4s. Everything is readily
disposed of. We have only 21 from Holland, 40 from Scot-
land, nearly 400 Lincoln!, and Leieesters, about 200 from the
neighbourhood of London, and 100 Townsend Cows. The
supply of Sheep is small ;the late high pikes seem to have .
caused a decreased consumption ; trade is consequently +LI ;-. C.
but the number being so very inconsiderable, lower rates see
not submitted to. Good old Downs are very scarce, and
still realise ss. 4d. ; the most sizeable Longwools, stout 5..
We have about 300 from Holland. Trade for Calves is more
cheerful, and late rates fully supported ; a few very choice
ones have made nearly ss. The weather is very favourable
for the sale of Pigs. Large Hogs are more readily disposed
of than of late, and in this description there is a decided
advance • small Porkers retain their former value.

EASTWOOD FAIR.---The Michaelmas fair was well
attended. There was a tolerable supply of Cattle, of pretty
good quality, but very little was done in the way of pur-
chasing, except in Pigs, which were in great demand.
NEWBURY, Ocr. 22.—The stock-market was hut
scantily supplied. Bewes sold high, and Sheep at a further
increase in price. Fat Ewes and Webers arc not levs than
Bd. per lb. Fat Hogs have declined in price from lls. to
10s. fal. per score lbs. ; small fat Porkers were at lls. to
lls. 6d. ditto; lean Swine arc falling also in'price.
NEWCASTLE, OCT. 20.—We here a good supply of
Beasts for the season of the year, both in quantity and qua-
lity, but a very indifferent show of Sheep. The Pig market
is also well stocked. There is a brisk demand for all sorts of
stock, buyers are numerous, prices looking up, and all
moving quickly off. The following quotations were freely
supported: Prices, Beasts, small cutters, 7s. ; good Oxen,
6s. lid. to ent. 9d. ; Pork, 6s. 9d. per stone of 14 lbs. ; good
wedder Sheep, 7d. ; Ewes, 60 per lb., sinking offal.

NEwAnK, OCT. 20.—1 n consequence of Sleaford
fair we had a thin attendance, but good sale. Mutton on
the advance, being from 64d. to 7d. per lb. Beef, Gs. 6d. to
7s. per stone. Beasts 26, Sheep 210.
SOUTHALL, OCT. 21.—We had a short supply of
Beef for this time of year, but owing to the heavy market of
Monday quite sufficient for the demand. Mutton was a
flatter trade, so also was Veal. Pork sold at mice!. fully
equal to last week's. Beef made from to 4s. ; Mutton,
4s. to ss. 4d. ; Veal, 4s. 2d. to 4s. 10d. ; l'ork, 3s. tid. to
4s. Rd. per stone of 8 lbs., sinking the offal.
WAKEFIELD, OCT. 21%—Wu had a fair supply of
stock at market this morning of both descriptions, there was
a good attendance of buyers • yet the Sheep market was heavy,
and prices as follows :'Mutton, 64(1. ; Beef, 6s. 3d. to Os. od.
per stone.

EDINBURGH, OCT. 21.—This morning we had a
larger supply of Sheep and Lambs than last week. Sales
were very slowly effected, and a considerable number re-
mained over unsold—still we cannot quote prices anything
lower than on last market. Tnp of the best Mutton, 6d.;
current, sd. to 64d. ; and inferior, don n to 4d. and 44d. per
lb. Lambs were also dull of sale, and had a downward ten-
dency-. The supply of Cattle being more than equal to the
demand, sales were dull, and prices in some instances fell
3d. per Dutch stone. Top price of best Beef, current, 7s. 6d.
to Be. ; inferior, ss. 9d. to 6s. and down.
