BAMNURT, May IL-At this market to-day Wheat was
a very fiat trade, and Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. Spring Corn,
on the contrary, met with buyers at lull prices. The follow-
ing teethe quotations;--Wheat, ss; 60. to 6s. Barley, 325.
to 345. Beans, 4s. 6d. to 6s. Oats, 225. to 275.
BIRMINGHAM, May 11.-At this day's market there was a
limited supply of Wheat, for which buyers were offering Is.
to 24. per qr. less ; but, as sellers would not generally give
way, little changed hands. Barley again Is. per qr. dearer.
Beans realised quite as much money. Peas inquired for.
Oats 6d. to Is. per qr. dearer. During the present week the
weather has continued as fine as possible, and little Wheat
has been sold, and not much offered prices are nominally
Is. to 2s. per qr lower. The heat is considered too great for
spring Corn. Both Barley and Oita have realised a further
improvement, some heavy grinding Barley having sold as
high as 325. per 3921b5. ; and a few fine Oats, at 23.1. per
31211 w., at Birmingham, being a rise on both from the lowest
point of from 3s. per qr. Beans maintain their value. Peas
unaltered, Quotations: Wheat, English, white, per bush.

BRIGHTON, May 11.-We have again to report a dull
market for Wheat, and, before sales could be effected, a de-
cline of 2s. per qr. from the date. of this day se'nnight ;
even at tkis reduction, the business that was trar.sacted was
on a limited scale. Barley is dull. Oats continue to he in-
quired after, and Is. per qr. advance was, in some instance.,
obtained. Beans and Peas in moderate demand. The seed
trade is now over, except what little is purchased on specu-
lation. Wheat, white. 121. to 121. 10s. ; red, 111. to 111. 10s.
Barley. 345. to 355. Oats, 20s. to 21a. Beans, 355. to 36,.
Peas, 365. to 375.
BRISTOL, May 11.-llnisderrupted sunshine during the
past week has greatly improved the appearance of growing
crops, but the clay lands require rain. 1,213 qrs. Barley,
1,766 Oats, and only 12.3 Wheat. with 614 sacks and 100 bele.
Flour, being a very moderate supply coastwise from
Ireland, with only a short supply of farmers' Wheat, our
market would feel the effect if there was any briskness in
trade. But the sale of Flour has been very difficult through-
out this month ; English, seconds, 33s to 368. per sack, and
245. to 27e. per barrel. Wheat, 44.. to 585., being Is. per
qr. decline, and a very dull sale for foreign, at late prices.
IGlrinding Barley and Oats advanced 6d. to Is. per qr. to re-
tail sale, and the demand is by no means brisk.
Devizes, May 11.-We had a moderate supply of Wheat,
which met a very dull sale at fully Is. a qr. below last week's
prices. The trade was rather brisk towards the close of the
market, and but little was left unsold. Barley was is fair
supply for the time of year, and sold freely. at fully last
week's rates. In Oats, Beans, and Pear, their is no aberation
to note. Wheat, white, per qr., 435. to 525.; beet red, 475.
to 508.; middling, 41s. to ; inferior, 38s. to 40s. Barley,
28s. to 40s. Peas, 21s. to 265. Bears, old, 425. to 50s. ;

conds, 10d. the Sib, loaf.
FARNHAM, May 11.-We had a large supply of Wheat;
trade exceedingly dull, and from 3s. to 4s. per qr. lower,
Barley seam, and fine samples in demand. Wheat, from
111. to 141. per load. Barley, 30s. to 369. per qr. Oats, 21s.
to 265. Peas, 38e. to 42e Beane, 38s. to 425.
Orasmostouou, May 9.-The Wheat trade ruled ex-
cessively dull hero to-day ; a reduction of Is. to 2s. per qr.
was made before sales could be effected. In spring corn no
alteration.
GODALMINO, May 10.-The Wheat trade was excessively
dull here today, at 2s. per qr. lower prices than last week.
Wheat, rid, 425. to 48s. ; white, 48s. to 56e. Barley, 28a. to
335. Peas, 355. to 38s. Oats, 19s. to 235.
LOUTH, May 10.-There was very little business done ix'
cora today, in consequence of the farmers refusing to sub-
mit to the decline of 2s. per qr. which has taken place sines
last week in the leading markets, and millers only purchased

for immediate use on nearly the same terms as last week :
Wheat, 445. to 494 ; Barley, 264 to 30s. ; Oats, 16s. to 20e.
Beans, 35a. to 41a.
MAIDSTONB, May 11.-This day we had an unusually
dull trade for all grain. Red Wheat sold at 455. to 475. ;
and for fine feed Oats • shade more money was made ; but a
very slight demand for them. Beans and Peas were passed
by unnoticed.
blaxNurerraxr, May 11.-The present fine weather has
caused our market to be very dull (or Wheat ; prices have
declined 2s. to Is. per qr. with very little business doing.
No Barley at market, the season for malting being pretty
well over. Spring Corn it quite as dear to-day.
blanker Reece, May 9.-We had • fair supply of
Wheat to-day, but there were only few buyers, and a de-
cline of 2s. per qr. was submitted to. Barley made last
week's rates. Oats, dd. to Is. dearer. Beans and Peas as
last quoted.
MILTON Mownaar, May 9.-We have had a good sup-
ply of Wheat at this market, which told at 24 13wer than
lest week. Oats, Beans, and Barley were Is. per qr. dearer.
Wheat, 48s. to 50s. Barley, 34e. to 365. Oats, 245. to 28s.
Beans, 424 to 444 per qr.
NEWARK, Mar 10.-A very good supply of all kinds of
grain. The market began flat, with from Is. to 2s. lower, but
ended with a very brisk sale at le. per qr. lower. Wheat,
white, 50s. to 525. ; red, 48s. to 50s Batley, 30s. to 355.
Oats, 200. to 28e. Beans, 38.5. to 40s. Tares, 565. Malt,
He. to 60s. per qr.
NEWBURY, May 11.-We still continue well supplied with
Wheat, and although the condition way improved, the sale
proceeded slowly, at a decline of from 2s. to 3a. per qr., and
some quantity remained unsold. Scarcely any Barley at
market; what little sold was at former rata. Oats, &MUM,
and Peas dull, and rather easier to buy. Averaged to the
6th May : Wheat,l,olB qrs., at 50s. 6d. ; Barley, 129, 345. 3d.;
Oats, 215, 204 9d.
PLYMOUTH, May 11.-The Corn trade continues very dull,
and very few sales were made at this day's market. The
Ike weather induces millers to refrain from purchasing,
except for present use.
Rouser, May 11.-The market this day was well
attended, but millers and factors were reluctant to make
say purchases. Good Wheat fetched from 455. to 475. Bar-
ley, 31s. to 355. Oats, 20s. to 245. Beans, 34,. to 38e. Peas,
384 to 414
ROYSTON, May 10.-Wheat trade very dell, and 2s. per
load cheaper. A fall in the price of Flour expected. Bar-
ley, Oats, Beans, and Peas, unaltered in value. Wheat, 265.
to 335. per load. Barley, 295. to 355. per quarter. Oats,
to 26e.

STOCKBRIDGE, May 11.-A small market. Best samples
of red Wheat sold at 131. per load ; some dry went at 121.
Barley offered at last week's terms ; few samples were dis-
poind of, and those grinding, at from 30s. to 34. Beans and
Peas Is. per qr. dearer. Oats, which are usually good here,
owing to the vicinity of celebrated training stables, met with
few sales. Fine samples of potato, weighing front 421 be. to
4411,5. per bushel, 275. 64. per qr. ; sweet feed, 22a. to 245,
Little doing in Tares, Rye, and small Seeds.
Svocavon-08-Trze, May 10.-The weather continues
remarkably fine, which has materially changed the aspect of
the country, and depressed the value of Wheat generally.
At our market this morning we had a fair show of Wheat
from the farmers, and, having a good attendance of buyers,
the whole was cleared off early, at the full rates of this day
week. In south country and free foreign there is no change;
holders are not pressing sales. Oats were a slow sale, and
last week's prices could hardly be obtained. Beans in
fair demand, but without change in value. Flour is a dull
sale, and some marks Is. per sack lower. The following are
the current prices :-W h eat, per qr., of 631 b. tdthe bush., South
country, red, 48s. to 605.; mixed, 51s. to 52a. ; white, 535. to

UXIRII/01, May 11.-The price of Wheat is lower by
10a. per load. Barley and Oats maintain a slight advance
in price. Beans sell better, and Peas are scarce. The sup-
ply at market was abort.
WORKINGTON, May 10.-At our market today we had
very trifling supplies of ali kinds of graiu, and many of the
millers left without supplying themselves to the extent in-
tended. Prices of Wheat and Barley advanced about Is.
the Carlisle bushel. Oats unaltered. Wheat, 21e. 6d. to
24e. 6d. Barley, 115. to 12s. 6.1. Oats, Bs. to 10s., accord-
lag to quality.
LIMERICK, May 10.-The weather is now very hot and
fine, and, from its settled appearance, is likely to continue.
The quantity of grain coming to market is merely nominal.
For fresh-thrashed Corn full prices are obtained. The trade
la Indian Corn is very brisk, and a slight improvement in
trice. The arrivals are few, and, consequently, it is scarce.
Bore inquiry for Indian Meal, but no change in value.
Wheat, red, 15d. to 181 d.; white, 16d. to 17d. Oats,

WaTIRFORD, May 10.-Supplies of all kinds of grain to
our market since Saturday have been very trifling ; not-
withstanding which, the price of every article in the trade
except Oats continues to decline.
Entneurion, May 10.-We had only a moderate supply
of Wheat from the farmers at this morning's market ; how-
ever, the sale was dull, and, to effect a clearance, a decline
of Is, per iv% had to be submitted to. Foreign Wheat was
also in limited demand, at a similar reduction. Barley in-
quired for, and fully as dear. In some instances choice sam-
ples of Oats were 6d. to Is. per qr. higher, and last week's
prices were fully supported for other descriptions. Beans
Beane, and la. dearer. Wheat, top, 60s. ; average, 52a. Id.

GLASGOW,May 10. -There was a fair attendance of buyers
at our market to-doy, and a moderate amount of business
transacted in all articles, excepting Wheat and Flour, which
met little demand, though offered at a reduction of 6d. per
boll, 6d. per barrel, and Is. per sack, respectively. Barley
scarce, and 6d. per boll dearer. There was a good inquiry
for Oats, but holders generally demanded 3d. to 6d. per boll
advance, which checked sales. Beans and NBA continue in
good request, and are the turn higher. Oatmeal and other
articles firm. at previous rates. The weather has continued
fine during the past week, which has caused the trade to
be languid. Wheat and Flour have been sold on rather
easier terms, but full prices procured for other articles.
Wheat, Dantzio, 275. 6d. to 28s. ; Rostock and Pomeranian,

CATTLE, Sec.—SMITHFIELD, Deo o'Cleek.—The
number of Beasts fresh up to this day's market is by no
means large, the supply consisting chiefly of those left over
front Monday, with about 150 from Holland, and 112
Mitch Cows. The trade is very bad ; there are
remarkably few buyers, in consequence of the very
depressed state of the dead markets. Our top quota-
tions are extreme prices. The supply of Sheep and
Lambe is not so large as on Friday last; it is, however, qui'e
adequate to the demand. The farmer meet with a very dull
sale, and Monday's prices are barely supported. There is
rather a brisk trade for the latter, but at very little more
money. From Holland there are nearly 600 Sheep and 150
Calves. Although the supply of Calves is large, choice de-
scriptions are not very plentiful, and still make vs. per &lbs. ;
second-rate are lower. Trade is dull for Pigs, owing to the
warm weather,, . . _ _

which caused a brisk sale, and all sold up, at higher prices
than last week. Beef, 7e. to 7e. 6d. per stone. Mutton,
