Ht ti,, July 25.—The weather has been variable during
the past week, and not, on the whole, an fine and hot as is
desirable for the kindly maturing of the Wheat crop. Com-
plaints of disease in Potatoes increase, and even most cau-
tious correspondents write us that its existence is undoubted,
and to a greater extent than was at ail anticipated a week

z

ago. With fine weather we would even yet lope fts vink
lance and extent may be checked. Our last market day
closed better than it opened, and on Wednesday 48s. 6d was
made of Ilen.',utir red fi r which only 475. was of-
fered on the pr, Vi'.ll4 day ;'in- then at advance of another
le. has been e,tabli.'ded. For b.ad Wheat some inquiries
have also sprung up; but the s•oek here being only tr.iling,
and held by splel,n ors fort rite, actual business is Umited.
We had for to-day'. market cv,ly a moderate supply of Wheat
from our own growers, with but a small show of foreign.
Notwithstanding the improved tone of Mark-lane,
and continued unfavourable reports as to Potatoes, nn ad-
vance in price Of 2i. to 3s. per quarter was with dittie,dty
established ; foreign is held very firmly, but above the views
of buyers, English being relatively cheaper. Barley main-
tains its value, with moderate supplies. Oats are very dull,
and difficult co tell, except at little money. Peas more
inquired after, but at low rates, for feeding. We continue
well supplied wish Beans, which if in good condition meet a
fair consumptive demand: Egyptian are generally held ah.-..ve
their relative value. Linseed is lintll, but Cakes may ':e had
the turn in fa, uur or the buyer, both for present and forward
delivery. Rapeseed continues in good demand of our
quotations. Rape Cakes h.ve declined 2s. 6d. per ton,
but buyers want them still lower. The following ar • the
prices:-Wheat, per qr., red, 481. to 515.; white, 52.1.

LEEDS, July 25.—We hare a fair arrival of grain this
morning. The weather is nut settled ; and there is so
general a confirmstion of the potato dises.e (though it does
not yet appear in this immen:sta neighbourhood), that the
corn trade assumes a potter firmness. To-day there is a
fair sale for Wheat, at an advance of Is to 24. per qr. over
Friday. Barley nominal. Beans and Oats steso.y. in
other articles no variation. Arrivals this week . —V, heat,

LEIGHTON BUZZARD, July 25.-At this day's market
there was but an indifferent supply of Wheat, and fcr conch
an advance of fully 2a. per load was obtained, althoin.h trade
somewhat dull at the same. Barley fire], but little in de-
rimed. Beans and Ptu almost nominal in value. Wisest,
per load of 6 bushels, 28e. to 325. Barley, per imp. qr., 275.
to 30s. Bests, per 5 bushel., 24... to 275. Peas, 25e. to 2ss.
Lewes, July 23.-There was a fair supply of Wheat at
to-day's market, end, then, I ing a demand by millers,
2s. per qr. advance was disc:se. and sold freely at the en-
hanced price. Other grain :Ay. Wheat, white, 131. ss.
to 131. 101. ; red, 121. to 12: 10s. Barley, griading, 2Fs. to
30s. pare, 19s. to 20s. Bawls, .13s. to 345. Peas, 36.. to lets.
Livearoot, July 25.-The supplies, which up to Friday's
market were generally light, have been subsequet.ly in-
creased, making, for the we.k elating yesterday, several
tweet's of at, Malt, and Flour 0341tWat, but very little
of anything fr.'m Ireland. Frant Canada, dining the same
time, the imports consist of (29 qrs. of Wheat, and 6,588
barrels co Flour ; from the United States, 11,825 gee. Irdian
Corn and '2,624 barrels Corn. Meal; from Europe, 4,611 qrs.
Wheat, 560 qrs. Barley, with 7,598 qn. Beans thence and
from Egypt. The exports of Indian Corn and Corn Meal
together are rather in excess of the imports this week.
By daily advices from various parts of this country and Ire-
land, complaints of the pot_to blight continue to increase;
but as in some districts the lie -Ise is stated to have shown
itself in a mitigated form, and mothers to be less peril pti bit ,
opinions, even of practical r.ericulturists, on the subject, see
contradictory. We may otseree, however, that these
remarks apply to the produce of the seed intended icr early
use ; the main crop, planted later, appearing to far nearly
if not wholly ur.tainted. Meanwhile tho markets are
plentiful'y supplied with the article from the grow, r. at
extremely low prices. Accounts :are to hand from New
York up to the Sib instant, when, upon good supplies from
the interior, rates of Wheat and Flour had a ter.dency to
recede, Indian Corn and Corn Meal, on the contrary,
slightly improved in value with demand for export to Great
Britain. Freights and ezeharge unaltered. Although the
weather has been favourable since the end of last week, the
rise in London yesterday gave a fresh impulse to the Wheat
trade here this morning; aca having a tolerable number of
home and country millers in attendance, a moderately
fair business was transactert ie. all useful kinds of English,
Irish, and foreign, at a further improvement upon
that of Friday, thereby placing our quotations 4d. to Gd. per
701 b. above the rates of this day se'nnight. Flour having
been taken by consumers mare freely than of late, Irish
commanded 2s. per sack, an'. Sates, as well as Canadian, an
amendment of le. per barrel. Barley, Malt, and Peas, upon
a very limited demand, reu. -Sr.?il stationary in value. Oats,
being seine, and good qualities in request, were dearer again
today, prime Irish realising 3e. Id. per 45.tri., and Oatmeal
e's advance of nearly 21. tear load. Having several Irish
buyers here again to-day, Indian Corn continued to meet en
active demand, and though some descriptions of yellow were
rather easier to purchase then yesterday, white is still :is.,
and yellow 2.. per qr. higher than on this day week;
Corn Mee! being in like minter, le. Gd. per barrel dearer.

SALISBURY, July 25.- ILe little corn pitched was emost
exclusively Wheat. Farmers, at the commencement, asked
from 2.. to 3s. per qr. nitre money for Wheat, and the
millers, in order to supply their immediate wants, yielded to
that alivance. but the trade throughout wee very dull. The
trade in Barley, for grinding. was very limited at last week's

MANUFACTURES.—HUDDERRIPIELD, July 2.1.
Our market has rather fallen off to-day, and not to much
doing as on our last market-day. The agitated state of
Ireland has prevented merchants from operating; however,
a few low things for the fell trade have found buyers.

HOPS.—MAIDSTONE. JLIS '.!s.—The prevailing south-
westerly windi and rain are very unfavourable to the hop tiling,
which is whipping about now tic. t the ourr requires warm, cum wea-

WOOL. HUDDERSFIELD, July 25.—The same
activity hes characterised oar market during the past week
that wo have had to repht for the two or three weeks pre-
vious. To-day, however, there seems to be some hesitation
in buyers, arising no doubt from the troubled state of
Ireland. Colonial Wools, at hum I ld. to lid. per lb., have
been in good request; a/so German Wools, at from
to L. 9,1. per lb. have foetid buyers.
iIAWICK FAIR, July 20.—A feir extent of bonitos was
done, chitfly in Cheviot Wools, at a reduction on last year's
