Is. per qr. In other grain no variation.

~OCTHAMPTON, March 31.—Our market was liut mode-
rately supplied with Wheat to-day, yet the trade was very
dull and the turn of prices in favour of the buyer. Barley

taken at previous prices. Beans in Hither more demand.
For seed Oats a fair demand ; but little paying in other
articles.

WAKEFIELD, Much 31.-The weather at length assumes
a more favourable appearance. Farmers will now be active in
field work, and the probability is supplies will fall off. This
week we have a good arrival of Wheat to report ; the trade is
very dull ; fellers give way 2.. per qr., but buyers are not
disposed to purchase to any extent. Barley is steady ; higher

den sold at from GBs. to 731. per cwt. ; a few lots, not so
good, went at 661. Best white and yell°. f Somerseta, double

HOPS.—ANDOVER FAIR, March 31.—Purchasers
were very cautious ; some very bright Farnham/ were offered
at 51. 10s. per cwt.; some of 1846 at 5/. ; others at 5/. sa. , •
few pockets sold at 5/. ; none reached 64. A imperior ham-
ple of Crondalls, 41. 10.1. ; others, grown at Alton and
Bentley, 41. 4s. Trade appeared wo to. than st
fair, the general impression being that the stock in hand of
the growers is much greater than late reports led many to
expect.

WORCESTER, Muck 31.—The Ii asp trade continues much
the same, both as regards the amo one of business doing and
rims. Fine samples arc nearly the only sorts in request.

WOOL.—There is a .3 Aoderate business doing in
English Wool, at resent quot Anions; consumers buy only (or
immediate wants; aad, as I ne dealers cannot replace stock,
sales are not pressed. Culo Mal and Foreign are both dull,
and to sell, lower prices ns, Ist be accepted.
BRADFORD, March 2 L—Thie has been the worst of
all weeks for sales; c sretly a transaction seem to have
taken place. This 7 r mark will apply to all kinds, both
English and Colonial ; every one seems disinclined to
buy, and more es 7 ,vially as English combing wools have
maintained their r rices so well, notwithstanding the many
substitutes that Ir ive been introduced. There so no doubt
the diminished • use since last clip day will be shown
shortly, by the at ock of old Wools being far more than fee
many years put It is totally impossible for the mice to be
maintained with .out a great change in the use and demand.
Noils and brok es are also decidedly flatter, and, although but
a small gland- ty making, yet it is fully equal to the demand,
and prices are a shads in favour of the buyer.
LIVIRPOO ',April I.—The business transacted last month
was on a rat Der limited scale. The sales effected by private
treaty have beets principally of the lower descriptions, such
as 'Egyptian, Cordova, Mogadorc, Scotch, Cheviot and Laid
Highland Wool, without advance or diminution in price.
Ir. the manufacturing districts trade is much depressed, but
on the whole there is a better manifestation. The stocks are
much reduced ; therefore, importers have held firmly, and
tuyers have been compelled to purchase at previous quo-
tations.

BensLe, March 28.—We had a good supply of both fat
holding Beasts at market this day. Prime fat sold readily
at an advance of 6d. per at. on last fortnight's quotations.

brought to this fair on the 23rd, but of rather an inferior
description, and were sold at reduced prices. Very good
Cows and Calves sold high, and fat Beef fetched 64d. per lb.
There were very few fat Sheep, and those were said to be
worth 81d. per lb.; others were sold at a decline in prices.
Fat Pigs sold at 6i. per lb.; small Stores wero scarce and
dear. Rather more Horses than usual were brought here,
and best carters and nags sold well, whilst those of an in-
ferior description were, in most instances, sent home unsold.
DARLINGTON, March 27.—We had a good supply of stock
to-day, with rather a hanging market, though prices re-
mained steady, holders being firm. The supply of Sheep
was limited, and great prices were demanded. Beef
to 71. per stone ; Mutton lid. to Bd. per lb., sinking offal.
. .

GISHIAIN, March 27.—We had only a small quantity of
fat stock shown to-day, but quite as many as were wanted ;
very good made f.d. per lb. tS'e had a large show of present
calves, which were bad to *ell, at lower prices than last fair.
A very large number of lean stock sold for rather less money.
E(I'DDEUSFIELD F.4.1a, March, 31.—Our fair of this day
has shown a less number of Hones than is usual at tins
season of the year; but amongst the quantity sh 3irn were a
good proportion of goo I draught Cattle, which went off at
rather lower prices. This fair exhibited a small show of
Cattle, and they mild very badly. Milch Cows were very
scarce.

LEEDS FORTNIGHT MARKET, March 29.—The supply
of home-fed Beasts and Sheep M this day's market has been
decidedly the best, both in quantity anctquality, we have had
for some time back. There was a good attendance of buyers,
and the whole were readily disposed of at an advance in
prices. Number of Beams, 350; Beef, Si. to Ss. Sd. per
stone of 161bs. Number of Sheep, 2,700 ; Mutton, ~cl,
per lb.

NEws.ait, March 29.—This market has been anything but
brisk to-day : there was a lair show of stock, but great bac in k-
wardness buyers—little businim wee consequently done,
and that at prices rather lower than last week.

NEWCA4TLE-trON-TYNE firRING Fars.—Oar usual
March Horse fair was held on Monday, upon the Stones.
The show of Horses was very indifferent , in fact, there has
not been such a poor exhibition of animal. for a long time.
The demand was exceedingly flat, and prices ranged low.
This is accounted for by the circumstance of the demand for
Hones for the Continent having ceased, caused by the un-
settled state of affairs.

STOVRBRIDGIL—At this fair, on Wednesday, the Cattle
market was well supplied with Sheep, which obtained from
71d. to Sd. per lb. Lambs fetched 305. each ; and ?dilch

were sold at the intermediate mines of from 101. to 201., as-
cording to quality. breed, &c. Prime Beeves, of which the
supply was not very plentiful, sold at 614. Pigs were mane.
Yon FORTS:MIT FAIR, March 30.—The fair to-da yx pre-
sented an unusually dul: appearance,there being e.. ..erngly
little business done in any description. Fat Beasts soldfrom
75. to 7s. 64. per stone a very thin supply and few buyers.
There was also a thin supply of in-calvers ; and in lean Basses
comparatively nothing waa doing. Fat Sheep realised 41d.
per lb. ; a thin supply, and well bought up.
GLABOOW, March 30.—1 n our market this moritinr;vis
had a very large supply of Cattle, and, the demand
slack, price declined about 25. 6d. per cwt., and •
many were unsold. Of Sheep there was not more than an
average number shown ; but, the supply being fully equal
Otovethre demand, they also declined a little, wick a hw let
