THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1853.

SPORTING.

at a heavy lose to the importers. It is supposed that more
than half of the Ito .tilig cargoes from the Mediterranean,
the Dausibe, the Black Sea, and the See of Axoff, have
arrived at Cork or Falmouth, except such as have been
sliieptd rather recently, of which the quantity is esti:ward
to be by no means large. Though the demand for Ireland
lius been considerably less thee at this tiaae last year, yet
but few cargoes now remain unsold on the coast; and we
are not aware of any quarter from which there is encou-
ragement to ship to this country without an advance upon
our present quotations. If we have fine and genial
weather, the probability of higher prices dee' not scent
strop; at present; and we believe oar millers are disposed
to keep light in stock, while some quantity of the recent
imports have not yet gone into the hateda of consumers.
On the ether hand, we believe our farmers generally will
withhold the wheat that remains in their hands until near
ha-vest, rather than submit to much, if any, reduction upon
its presto.
Deespectv before us appear to justify
. .
suck a course, as wheat still bears a law cum-
pared
pared with must other apiculture'
event of a productive crop next summer, there can now be
but li:tle;:doubt that the breadth of land sown will be so
much less than usual, that the foreign imports between the
harvests of ISO and 1834 must be large. Should there be
any unfavourable appearance of the wheat on the ground as
spring advances, or a demand from France, which latter
seems much less probable than some time back, there is
little doubt that a considerable improvement upon our pre-
sent currency for English wheat would be realised erelong.
Our im?ortos into Gloucester have been large this month,
but our stocks arc little if at all increased, though a greater
prooocion than usual of the last fleet which arrived on the
coast has come to the Bristol Channel ports. The growing
wheats in this part of the country are more promising than
atter such a wet winter could have been expected, but there
arc some complaints of their appearance in France. Our
eresent prices are, English, old red, Os. to 6i. 6d. ; new,
of 41. to 6s. 4d. ; white, Gs. Gel. to 71. ; new, ss. 8.1. to
6.. 84. ; Polish Odessa, ss. 6d. to 55. 9d. ; white American,
6a. 61. to Gs. 9d. per 621b5., at Birmingham ; Marianople,
' ss. 94. to 61. ; °hie's; ss. 4d. to ss. 7d. ; hard Bus-
siar, se. to ss. 3d. per GOibs., at Gloucester. A
few cargoes of grinding barley have arrived from
France, mostly out of condition, and have caused the price
to give way fully Is. per quarter ; the demand being little
more than a retail one. Fine quclities nearly maintain
their value, but are a slow sale ; and as we are likely to
have large arrivals, as the Spring advances prices may
further decline. French is selling at 2.35. to 275. per
4001b5., at Gloucester. The supplies of oats, chiefly from
teeter's', have materially exceeded the demand, there is
consequently a considerable addition to the stock at Glou-
cester, and the quantity of English offering has continued
greater than at any time since harvest. Both English and
Irish are fully Is. per quarter lower. Odly one cargo of
Dutch has arrived, and this description is little if any
cheaper. Irish White are selling at 175.64. to 18s. 6d. fur
light, and 19d. to 21s. for heavy; black, 18s. to 18:,. Gd. ;
grey, 18s. 6d. to 19e. 3d. ; Dutch, 225. to 235. per 3121b5., at
Gloucester. We continue without fresh supplies of foreign
beans, but a few French and Egyptian are expected at Glou-
cester; and all descriptions are quite as dear. The condi-
tion of the New English has impsoved, and they have met
a free sale at our quotations: whilst old are at length be-
coming more scarce. The prices in Egypt have declined,
hut are still far too high to leave • margin for importing,
and the same remark applies to France. English new are
selling at 4s. 6d. to 4s. 93. ; old fm. 21. to ss. 4d. per 1961b5.,
at Birmingham. The remainder of the peas at Gloucester
have been cleared off, at 14s. 6d. per 1961b5. ; and we are
not aware of any more being on the way. English are
offering more freely, and barely maintain their value.
There is still no Indian corn in first hands, but • cargo or
two are reported to be near at hand. A cargo of millet of
fine quality has most of it found buyers at 10s. 6d. to Ils.
per 196115. Potatoes scarce, and same weight sells for
neatly as much as wheat.-From Messrs. J. and C. Sturge's

CORN.—BIRXINGHAII, MARCH 31.—At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the 26th, the wheat trade ruled dull.
and all kinds were rather lower. Barley only taken in re-
tail. No reduction was submitted to on oats. Beans and
peas maintained their value. During the present week,
few transactions are reported in wheat ; but goad new is
held for quite as much money. Barley difficult to dispose of.
No alteration in oats. We have a fair sale for both beans and
peas. At this day's market there was again a abort supple
of new English wheat, which realised quite as much money,
but all other kinds were rather cheaper. Very little doing
in barley, and the prices are nominally the same as this day
se'nnight. Oats held for previous rates. Beans and ,peas
both taken off at last week's currency.

BRISTOL, MARCH 31.-The market to-day has been but
moderately supplied with English, but most of the samples
were in better condition than a few weeks since were gene-
rally observable. There we a tolerable inquiry, and el.
though no quotable improvement in values was effected,
the tone of the market was decidedly more firm. Then
remarks will also apply to foreign wheats, the par-
cels of which offering were firmly held. There was
a fair consumptive demand for flour, and sales
were somewhat freely effected at our quotations.
The prices were as follows:-English new wheat, 38s.
to 465. per Imperial quarter ; ditto, old wheat, -a. to
-a. per ditto; foreign, white, 50s. to 545. per 48011 n. ;
foreign, red, extra tine qualities, 475. to 60s. per ditto;
ditto, ine qualities, 435. to 46.. per do. ; do., ordinary
qualities, 41s. to 431. per ditto; foreign, hard, -a. to
-a. per ditto English seconds flour, 355. to 364.0 d. per sack,
United States, &e., sweet, 255. Od. to 265. 6d. per barrel.
English melting barley, 345. to 365. per imperial quarter;
English and foreign grinding ditto, 18s. 65. to 20s. per
400th.. Devon and Welsh feed oats, 17e. &I. to 18s. per
imperial quarter ; Irish white, ditto, 18e. 64. to 20.. Od.
per 3201 b..; Irish black ditto, 17s. Od. to 18'. per im-
perial quarter. English beans, 38s. to 42.. per ditto;
foreign ditto, 355. to 38e. Od. per 4801 b.. The arrivals on
shipboard for the week have been - Wheat, 728
quarters ; oats, 3,973 barrels, 200 quarters ; barley, 408
quarters, 100 barrels; beans, 223 quetten ; flour, -
leech,. The official return of the corn inspector gives the
following averages :-Wheat, 455. 2d. ; oats, 19s. 3d.; bar-
ley, 325. 104.; beans, 395. Bd.
Devtzte, March 31.-We had a small supply of Wheat
to-day, which met a very good sale at :fully last week's
prices, the beet descriptions being the turn in favour of the
seller; a good clearance was early made. Barley was in
good supply ; the trade was brisk, and an advance of Is.
per qr. was obtained on the best temples ; 395. per qr. was
the top price. In Oats, Beans, end Peas the trade was
good; for seed somewhat higher prices were given, and for
feeding purposes prices were fully sustained. Wheat, while,
per sr., 584. ; best red, 535. to 561.; middling, 41s. to 53a ;
inferior, 335. to 41s. Barley, 28s. to 395. Oats, 18s. to 265.
Beans, 345. to 425. Peas, 345. to 40s. Flour, fine, per
meek, 39.. to 425. ; seconds, 345. to 38s.
NEWARK, March 30.-The supplies of samples of both
Wheat and Barley at market to-day were moderate, with a
corresponding amount of business. Wheat, though not
very active, met with a good sale, at an advance of Is. per
qr. on our est report. For Barley we cannot quote an
improved value, but for this, as well as other grain, the
prices of lest week were firmly maintained. Oats and other
spring corn were seasonably in demand, end underwent no
variation from the late rates. Average: Wheat, white,
from 52.. to 54i. red, 475. to 495. ; grinding Barley, 28s.
to 30s. ; meltiog'ditto, 325. to 355.; Oats, 28s. to 30a. ;
Beaus, old, 425. per qr.
Newaunr, March 31.-The supply of Wheat this day
WWI not large ; the sellers attempted an advance but could
not succeed, and late prices could only be supported. Bar-
ley in good supply, and the demand slow ; all except the
finest qualities receded ls. per qr, Oats, Beans, and Peas
fully as dear. Wheat, 41s. per qr. Barley, 31s. 9d. Oats,
19s. 2d. Beans, 365. 2d. Peas, 365.

Cullman, March 31.—The Wheat trade is very dull,
but the spring corn trade is active, the favourable weather
effusing a good demand for seed. Wheat, 428. to 545. Bar-
ley, 28s. to 355. Beans, 384. to 42a. Peas, 335. to 445.
Oats, 20s. to 26,. per qr.
WATZRFORD, March 30.—The deliveries of farmers'
grain since Saturday have been very trifling, and from
abroad the supplies are limited to a couple of cargoes of
Indian Corn. Scarcely any change has taken place in
prices, but every article in the trade is held with iucreased
firmness.

kIDINBUZGII. March 30.—There was rather a small sup-
ply of grain in the market to-day. Sales were heavy for all
sorts, and last week's prices hardly maintained, with the
exception of Barley. Wheat, 425. to 565. Barley, 28s. 6d.
to 40s. Oats, 111 e. to 26e. Beans, 31s. to 36e.

CATTLE.-141uutg Foaviszownv MAREST, March
29.—There was, u usual, a large show of stock, but the
prices were not so good,—indeed buyers fought shy at the
prices asked. There was • fair quantity of business done.
There were 416 Sheep and 52 Beasts penned.
NIWAUK, March 30.—A large market to-day, and prices
rather lower. There were 174 Beasts, 322 Sheep, and 121
Pigs penned.
SALFORD, March 30 —We continue well supplied with
stock, and of fair quality. The demand is on the increase.
Dealers found ready sale for everything of fair and good
quality, both Beef and Mu.tsn. Prime Beef fetched fully
641. per lb.; Mutton, 6d. to 7d. But little unsold.
_ _

WAKEFIELD, March 30.—The number of Beasts at our
market this day was unusually large, there being no less
than 1,100 of very prime quality. The show of Sheep was
rather thin, consequently they were very dear, the number
not exceeding 3,800. The attendance of buyers very
numerous. Prices ruled as follows : Beef, 6s. Gd. to Ts. 3d.
per stone ; Mutton, 84. to 84d. per lb.; shorn ditto, 64d. to
74. The show of lean stock and Pigs was very good, and
met with ready sale.
EDINBURGH. March 30.—The number of Cattle in the
market this morning was 71.5. or 48 more than on this day
week. Sales dull, end prices down from 3d. to Gd. per
Dutch stone. Extreme top price, 9a. ; current top, Bs. Gd. ;
current price, Bs. for the best sorts of Beasts; middling and
inferior, from 6s. 64 to 7s. per Dutch stone. At the close
of the market a clearance was not eff.-eted. The number
of Sheep in the market was 1,735, or 114 more than last
week. Sales dull, and prices, compared with last weak,
down from 3a. to 4s. per head. Top price, 84. ; current
top price, 71d.; current price, 7d.; middling and inferior
ports, from lid. to 644. per lb. At the close of the market
a clearance was not effected.
