April It.

CIRENCESTER, May 8. The supply of grain not to
large as of late, and we have to note a very sluggish demand
for all descriptions. Wheat 2s. per qr. lower. Of Barley
the supply is very scanty, with but few transactions.
Of O►ts, Beans, and Peas, the supply about as usual. Wheat,
101. to 131. per load. Barley, 325. to 365. per qr. Oats, 20s.
to 28e. Beans, 40s. to 48e.

Hum., May 9.—We have had as fine weather during the
past week as the most fastidious agriculturist could desire—
a dry, cool, and not what was dreaded, too forcing atmos-
phere. It is indeed curious to remark the change which
one week has wrought in the minds of a great majority of
our correspondents. Those who were most strong in their
denunciation of the wet cold weather of April, and the
loudest in proclaiming irrecoverable injury to the young
Wheat plant, now, after only one week's change,
write " nothing can exceed the promising pros-
pect before us." So sudden a change in weather
has produced en equally sudden alteration in the tone of the

supplies of grain, seed, cakes, bones, &c., for some time ; and
it is far from unreasonable to imagine that some improve-
ment it the value of such articles will ensue. We had for
to-day's market a smell supply of Wheat, our own farmers
taking advantage of the extreme fine weather to heists
their spring sowing, and holders of foreign feeding
disposed to wait the next Continental news before
submitting to the above decline: Farmers' Wheat
was sold for about the rates of last week, in some instances a
trifle less, while foreign, say new Hamburg, sold at 48s. to
50s. ; Petersburg, 425.; Danteic, 545. ; but a great many
samples withdrawn. The improvewent in demand and value
of Barley attracts supplies from the coast ; prices are folly
supported, and 329. the value of good Danish Oats partici-
pate in the improved feeling, as do also Beans and Peas.
Each of these articles have lately been unduly pressed by
anxious sellers. Linseed is unaltered in value : Cakes, with
a good demand, are only the turn lower fir Engli..ll • the sale
of foreign is easy, at full prices. Rapeseed is full 20s. per
last dearer, and Rape Cakes more inquired for. Bone*, af-
fected by the blockade referred to el, me, and moderate ar-
rivals, are the turn dearer. The following are the prices :
Wheat, per qr., red, 48s. to 50s. ; new, 48.. to 503. ; white,
505. to 52e.; new, 50s. to 525. ; Dantzle, 51s. to 565.
Lower Baltic and Hamburg, 48s. to 525. Barley, malting,
30s. to 325. ; grinding. 26a. te. 28a. Oats. Danish, 16s. to
18s.; Friesland, 20a. to 22s ; Russian, 16a. to 18s. Beans,
345. to 365. ; foreign, 30s. to 33a. Pau, white and yellow,
'l2s. to 341. Linseed, crushing, 36a. to 445. ; feeding, 46e.
Itapeseeci. per 10 qrs., 24.. to 241. ss. Lisseed
Oakes, English, per ton. 91. ; foreign, 61. 15s. to
71. 15s. ; Rape Cakes, 955. Bones. 85s. is 87e. 6d. Guano,
51. to 91. ss. Imports from the 29th April to the sth May
inclusive: Wheat, coastwise. 70; foreign, 1,346. Barley,
446. Beans, 400. Linseed, 6,609. Rapeseed, 505. Bones, 235.
Irewscß, May 9.-The attendance of farmers and supply
of Wheat are to day small; but little business is transacted,
and prices are Is. to 2s. per qr. lower than last week. Bar-
ley is apparently nearly exhausted; but ',Adele to-day offered,
and this sells at fully Is. per qr. advance upon late rate,.
Scarcely any Beans or Peas upon offer.

LEEDS, May 9.—The arrivals for this week are pretty
good. The Wheat trade is still devoid of any activity,
nevertheless we have firmness at Friday's decline, and make
no 'variation from that day's rates. Barley steady in price.
Oats and Shelling fully as dear; and Beans as before. No
alteration in other articles.—Average price of grain: Wheat,
2,465, 50'. 82.; Barley, 896, 355; Oats, 111, 20a. lid. ;
Beans, 225, 341. 41. Arrivals this week: Wheat, 8,282;
Oats, 314; Barley, 478 ; Beans, 1,195 ; Rapeseed, 926;
Linseed, 388.
LEIGHTON BUZZLHD, May 9.—There was a fair supply of
Wheat °Gering at market this day; sales proceeded slowly,
at from 6d to ls. per load decline Irons last week's rates,
Bar:ey, Beans, and Peas fully maintain their price. Wheat,
per load of 5 bushels, 275. to 31s. Daley. per or. imp., 31s.
to 85.. Beans' old, 295. to 31s. ; new, 23e. to 255. Peas,
255. to 285., all per 5 bushels.

LEWEA, Ma y 9.-A fair supply, which sold slowly at the
quotations. The supply of other grain very scanty, and
demand slack. Wheat, red, 111. to 111. 51 ; white, 121. to
121. 103. per load. Barley, 30s. to 355. Beans, 345. to 351.
Oats, 19s. to 21s. Peas, 3os. to 365. per qr.
LIVERPOOL, May 9.-Upon a change of wind a very large
number of vessels have arrived here from various parte of the
world since Friday, but principally from America; but,
at not many of them are laden with grain produce, the
imports of such from abroad are only moderate in amount,
except Indian Corn, which exceeds 19,000 qrs. ; and, whilst
the supplies from Ireland are tolerable, we have very few
cosstwise. Under the influence of splendid weather the
Wheat trade in the leading markets of this country con-
tinues on the wane; yet, in most of the shipping
ports et Ireland, the supplies from the growers are
reported to be small, and higher prices steadily required;
during the summer, however, the value of most kinds
of grain must, as in ordinary seasons, depend
mainly on the appearaneo of the crops on the ground and
extent of importations from abroad ; as, in the former case,
the result cannot be prejudged, and the latter, in the present
critical state of the continent of Europe, is extremely un-
certain, no opinion can at present be stated with any
fair pretension to accuracy. Although our market this morn-
ing was well attended by *home and country millers. Wheat
of all descriptions nontinucd to meet a slow .iugering sale ;
and, being further depressed in value, our quotations, includ-
ing English, Irish, and Foreign, are reduced 3d. to 4d. per
701bs. below the current rates of this day week. Flour also,
being taken very sparingly by consumers alone, scarcely
sustained the decline stated in our last report. Malting
Barley, of which little remains over, was unaltered
in value; and grinding samples as well as Malt, were saleable
on rather higher terms. Beans and Peas were more difficult
to sell, and the turn cheaper. Oats of good meeting quality,
commanding a fair degree of attention, moved rather
more freely at late prices • inferior kinds, however, in
order to effect sales, were slightly depressed in value. Oat-
meal dull, but not lower. Indian Corn, upon the renewal
of • lively demand for Ireland, fully supported the reduced
rates of Friday; and Corn Meal was more readily disposed
of at Ils. 6d. to 12s. per barrel ; the exports of both exceed-
ing the imports consi lerably. British Wheat, per 701 b.,
English, red, 75. 4d. to 7s. Bd. • extra, is. Bd. to 71. 103. •

Lynx, May 9.-A very small and dull market hero to-day,
at a decline upon Wheat of 21. per qr. 611bs. to 651ba., 484.
to 495. ; fine white, 624. Oats, 12d. per stone. Beans, 36e.
to 40s.
PLYMOUTH, May 9.-The Corn market was very thinly
attended this morning, and little or no business was done;
prices unaltered. The weather continues very fine.
SALISBURY, May 9.-Trade by no means brisk; Wheat
declined from le. to 2s. per qr. ; best red Wheat, 475. to 495.;
second quality, 445. to 455. ; poor, 40s. to 425. Little or no
white Wheat. Best Barley firm, and unaltered, at 375. per
qr. ' • inferior, 303. to 365. Malt dull sale, at 7s. 61. to 7s. 9d.
per bushel for the best, and 7s. to 7s. 3d. for secondary kinds.
Beans and Oats were without alteration. The beet boiling
Peas were worth is. more-from 415. to 465. New Spring
Tares were reduced to Gs. per bushel.
ST, Ives, May S.-The Wheat trade to day very dull in-
deed, at from ls. 64. to 2s. per load less than bat week.
Barley the same. Business in the corn trade very fiat.

CHEESE.—Sausannir, May 9.—A large quantity
pitched. Trade better. Best Cheddcrs, 725. to 765. per cwt.;
doable North Wilts and Somerset', 645. to 665. ; single, 565.
to 58s. ; cowards, 461. to 48s. ; skims, 28s. to 325.

MANUFACTURES.—iIUDDERSFIELD, May 9.
Our Piece hall has been rather better attended to-day, and
more business has been done. A few fancy goods, of nice
style and goad pattern, have been rather readily disposed of.

lIOPS. MAIDSTONE.—The Hop gardens have
certainly put on s more lively appearance with the hot
weather of last week ; but, from the unfavourable state of the
land, with the wet spring, the earth is cracking, which lets
in the drought and breaks the fibres. On the whole, the
duty may be considered as worth 20,0001. more than last
week—say about 70,0001. The report of the North Clays is
rather favourable for the year.

SALISBURY, May 9.—Prices 'till on tho decline; the
bine in the neighbouring plantations is rapidly ascending
the poles.
WORCESTER, May b.—There are very few fine samples of
Hops for sale. The plantations are now being worked and
poled, and many stocks are found deal, and greater part are
weak and unhealthy. New, 1847, 665. to 575. ; yearling',
50s. to 68s. ; old olds, 204. to 45e. per cwt.

WOOL.—iIUDDERE FIELD, May 9.—Daring the
put week our Wool market has been eery dull, and little
doing. In fact the colonial sales are progressing, and our
country connexions are anxiously awaiting the comirg down
of the Wool into the country.

SALISBURY, May 9.—Not much doing, owing the ap
proaching 'ales.

CATTLE.—SALISBURY, May 9.—Owing to the
great heat of the weather, fat Calves were beyond the do,
mend, and quotations went down Is. the score; sales were
made at from 7s. to 91. the score. What few fat Pigs were
in market were Is. the score less ' • the best were quoted at
from 10e. to Bs.; Store Pigs, 20s. to 255.; small, 15e. to 20s.

Sr. ITV., May B.—We had a tolerable good supply of fat
Beasts to•da in the market, but prices rather ftstter than
last week ; there was a good supply of store Beast:,, and the
market rather brisk.
