this week. Coastwise, 170 qrs. Barley ; 4.51 sacks, and 61
barrels Flour. The weather has been wet, but is more
settled to-day. We had a short attendance at market, and

Exxrxe, April 20.-Our market being held to-day

LIVERPOOL, April 29.-So short an interval having elapsed
between our first and second markets this week, the present
being held a day out of course on account of to morrow being
Good Friday, we have few remarks to oiler, either on the
extent of arrivals or the state of business' in the intermediate
period. Supported by the steady tone of other leading mar-
kets of the country, the general rates of our last, upon a
moderate amount of transactions, appear to have been firmly
maintained. Influenced by a very slender attendance of
buyers, and entire absence of extensive operations in any
article at our Corn Exchange this morning, we have to re-
port a very dull, listless trade in all its bearings ; gene-
rally speaking, however, there was no disposition,
in any instance, on the part of holders to
submit to lower terms, but, in anticipation of a
revived demand next week, a firm adherence throughout to
the full rates of Tuesday, which may in all respects be re
pealed to-day. The transactions in Wheat and Four were
merely restricted to retail parcels; the latter, notwithstand-
ing, inclined slightly upwards, owing to the remaining stock
of both Irish and American being light, and the latter of
prime quality becoming literally scarce. Barley, Malt,
Beans, and Peas appeared to remain wholly untried ; and
in either Oats or Oatmeal, no actual change was perceptible.
Indian Corn and Corn 1.1, al being still ti.e most attractive
articles of the trade, a few further parcels were purchased
again to-day, the extreme rates of Tuesday freely paid, and
in some instances rather higher prices required. Ar-
rivals into Liverpool and Runcorn f,om the 18th to the 19th
of April :-Wheat, 1,768 qrs. • Barley, 900 qrs. ; Malt, 4,58
qrs. ; Oat, 175 qrs. ; Beans, 604 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 1,500
qrs.; Oatmeal, 1,720 sacks; Flour, 897 sacks.
LOUTH, April 19.-There was a small attendance of far-
men at the corn market to-day, and the business transacted
was not extensive. Prices for all articles were about tho
same as last week. Wheat. 445. to 60s. Barley, 265. to 30s.
Oats, 161. to 201. Beans, 365. to 425. per qr.
MAIDSTONE, April 20.-This day. we had a very sluggish
trade for all grain, at last day's prices. We cannot make
any difference in the quotations.
MASOIINGTIIEE, April 'lO.-A continuance of wet weather
gives our market a firmer appearance. 'We do not, how-
ever,cell prices Wither from this di week. Wheat, white,
50s. to 651. ; rid, 445. to 491. Barley, malting, 30s. to 335. ;
gritding, 265. to 29e. Beans, 345. to 40s. Peas, 345. to 365.
MARKET RASEN, April 18.-Our market to day was well
attended. Wheat in geed condition stood firm at last week's
rates ; and Barley, Oats, and Beans were also m firm.
MELTON MORBRAT, April 18.-We have hail a good
supply of all kinds et grain offering at this market at full Is.
per qr. more money than last week, except Beans, which
were Is. to 2s. lower. Wheat, 625. to 545. Barley, .30s. to '

to 445. per qr.
Nrwenx, April 19.-The corn market has been well at
tended by the farmers, and well supplied with all kinds of
grain, with a very brisk sale. Wheat, white, 625. ton . ;
to red, 485. 625. 'Barley, malting, 38s. to 351. • ' grine,

665. to 58s. Tares, 641. Malt, 58e. to Ws.
NEWBURY, April 20.-We had this day a good supply of
Wheat, which met a steady sale, at fully het week's rates.
Barley in short supply, and prices remain the same. Oats,
ReaRS, and Peas continue dull, at late prices. We have had
a very unfavourable week for the planting of spring Corn;
and also for the growing crop of Wheat.
PLYMOUTH, April 20.-Farmers' supplies of all grain are
email ; but the demand is limited, and at this morning's
market the few sales made were without advance.
RostsEv, April 20.-Monday next being our fair, we can
scarcely Le said to have had any market this day ; and
amongst the few buyers that attended there appeared very
little disposition to make extensive purchases. Wheat may

being scarce, prices were ss. per load dearer. Barley being
scarce, prices rather on the rise ; 345. to 351 per qr. for best
malting; 30s. to 32a. for other descriptions. Beans, best,
old, 40.. to 461. per qr. ; new, 38s. to 40s. Peas, from 40s.
to 445. Oats sold at last week's prices.
STOCITON•ON-Tate, April 19.-The arrivals from abroad
during the pest week are large, whilst from the CORM the
supply is trifling. At this day's market vs had a moderato

supply of grain from the farmers. Wheat met a slow sale,
at barely the rates of this day week. In Barley very little
ermine. Oats, Beans, and Peas met a dull sole, and former
prices with difficulty were obained. Floor without change.
The current prices : Wheatt , per qr., of 63lbs. to the
bushel, south couatry, red, 495. to 515.; mixed, 52a.

Unnutuor,April 20.-A larger supply at to-day's market;
and, though the trade ruled dull, last week's prices for Wheat
were supported. Useful red, at about 13s. par load ; the top
price given for white was 161. In Barley and Oats, little
doing. Rather more demand. for Peas and Beans, without
alteration in price.
WAKRIIELD, April 20.-Our arrivals of groin are mode-
rate for this day's market. The trade is neverthelest slow
for Wheat, and millers buy sparingly, at the rates of last
week. Barley is scarce, and fetches Is. per quarter
more money. Oats and Shelling as before. Beans
steady, and no alteration in price, but demand keeps '
limited. Other articles without variationper . The fol-
lowing are the present prices Wheat,

WORIONOTON, April 19.-This day being our annual
cattle fair, there was little done in grain, and that at prima
the turn lower than last week. Wheat, good dry samples,
23a.; middling, 205., per 3 imperial bushels. Barley, 12a.

Oats, 9s. -
WATERFORD, April 19.-Since Saturday our receipts of
Wheat have been very trifling; holders is consequence de-
mand higher prices, which buyers are comp,lled to pay.
Barley and Oats continue in fair supply, at the currency
er
of
last week. Indian Corn must be quoted dearer by
tel., and Flour by 6d. per sack.
El/IN/it:YOH, April 19.-At this morning's market there
was a very small supp.y of farmers' Wheat. The trade
ruled firm for all good qualities, and for such en advance of
Is. per qr. was readily obtained, but there was no improre-
ment in the value of inferior. Foreign Wheat was morn in-
quired for than last week, still previous prices could not be
exceeded. Barley was scarce, and the limited supply was
quickly cleared elf at en advance of Is. per qr. Oats sold
slowly, but last Wednesday's rates are fully maintained.
Beans in demand at Is. per qr. dearer. Wheat, top, 609. ;
average, 03s. Barley, top, 375.; average, 34..3,1. Oata,

GLASGOW, April 19.-The principal arrivals to the Clyde
this week are 8,350 qrs Otts, 470 qrs. Wheat, and 1,560
loads Oatmeal from Ireland, and there are three or four
vessels thence in the river this morning, hose cargoes are
not yet reported. To Grangemouth the coasting supplies
are lighter than usual, and consist of 265 qr.!. Wheatu, 1,1
qrs. Barley, and 800 sacks Flour ; and there are 730 qrs.
Wheat in from the lower Baltic. Fro change has occurred
in the value of Wheat since the date of our last report; but
the demand has continued inactive, and neck Flour, in
some instances, has been offered on rather lower
terms. There was a fair, moderate sale for Oats towards
the close of last week; but, supply having increased, the
trade since has become more inactive. Malting Barley has
met a good inquiry ; but Beans and other articles with a
slow sale have again receded in value. At this day's market,

CATTLE, Sz.c.- SMITHFIELD, T
and Two o'Cl•ek.-We
have today a good supply of Beasts, this being • season
at which the demand for Beef is very limited, trade is ex-
ceedingly dull. The weather is much against slaughtering,
and the salesmen are obliged te submit to reduced prices. A
considerable number remained unsold. Our top quotations
are quite extreme prices. There are nearly 200 from Hol-
land ; the unusual number of 12.5 from Spain, many of which
are of superior quality ; about 240 from Scotland, and 132
milch Cows from the Home Counties. There are a few more
Sheep on offer, and not so many wanted, consequently trade
is slow at a decline of fully 2d. per 8 lbs. this, being Good
Friday, may be termed the commencement of the Lamb sea-
son ; it is the only article particularly in demand to-day.
We have seen a much larger number on former occasions; the
supply, however, is tolerably good, and trade active. Choice
small young Lambs are most inquired Mr, making 7s. to
75. 44. ; but the larger kinds move off slowly, at from 6s. to
6s. Bd. Trade is exceedingly heavy for Calves, at a reduc-
tion of fully 24., and in most cases 44., per 8 lbs. ; there are
113 from Holland, and 420 Sheep. Very little business is
doing in the Pig market. Prices are rather lower.
