WARMINaTIR, August 26.-A limited attendance today.
The weather during the last sew days has enabled the farmers
to complete the Wheat harvest ; and the injury to the crop
is not so extensive as the appenranca led us to suppose.
There was a moderate quantity of Wheat in the market ; the
late extraordinary advance was maintained at the commence.
ot the market, but the trade ruled dull, and at the close the
sales were meetly effected at a reduvtion of la. per qr. New
Wheat sold at 465. to 58s. But few sales ware • erect, din

venced from 4,. to ss. per qr. What, 475. to 63.. Bee ley,
32.. to 355. Oats, 211. to '2ss.
Wisnecit, August 26.-Since last Saturday we have bad
frequent anion, with intervening winds and sunshine, and •
good deal of Wheat has been carted, but much of it cannot
be in thrashing order for some months to come. Several
samples of the new crop are brought to market to day,
generally of good quality, but in po..r condition, weighing
Irvin ,59th,. to 621ba. per bushel, and selling from 50s. to 5Sle
extra, 60s. per qr. The supply of old is only small, gaud is
ready sale at 45. per qr. more m-mey than last Week. But
few Oats or Beans, and each Is. to 2a. per quarter

Woaceeras, August 25.-We bad again a large supply,
}rote of old and new Wheat from the farmers, which sold
slowly, at an advance of is. to 2s per quarter. Barley of all
kited. telly as much dearer. Oats and beans Is. per queue?
higher. We .ther sti.l unsettled.
Tonic, August 26.-The weather this morning has again
become wet, and our farmers are : sking extravagant prices
for old Wbeat, which has checked bosinees. Wheat is U.
per qr. higher then list week. Oats, Is. 61. per qr. ,dearer.
One or two samples of new Wheat are showing; quality
trod, but condition only moderate. The following ace the
rites: Wheat, white, 60*, to 645. per qr. ; red, 575. to 60s.

per tone of 141 b. Flour, 435. to 465. pet sack of '2Bolhr.
Demart, August 25.-The weather yesterday and toalay
hovel:leen fine, and upward tend. ncy of our peruke has
been arrested. We b
eanoot, however, ne lie much change
from our quotations of Tuesday. The new Wheat acmes
toeless d coarse, and in soft condition, but does net present so
many growing grains as anticipated. The new Oat' are al •
coarse, but strong. We make no change in our terms for
Wheat, or old Oats, but new Oats are 6d. per barrel lower.
Oatmeal, Flour, and Indian Corn maintain their value. The
I following is the currency for new grebe-Wheat, per 280th.,
white, 31s. to 335. ; red. 201. to 32*. Oats, per 196th Its.
to 135.6 d. Bere, per 2241 b. Ils. to 13s. Rapeseed, per
2241 h., 25*. to Vs. Oatmeal, per ewe., 12s. to -14 s. 6d.
Flour, per cwt., seconds, 19s. to 20s. Indian Corn, per
4801 b., 345. to 40s.
LIMERICK, August 2G.-We continue to have very wet
and severe weather. Harvest operations cannot be pro-
ceeded with, and very few crops of grain secured. Potatoes
are daily getting worse. No new grain at ireirket. Ar-
rivals of ludian Corn have bosn few ; the demand is dull,
is consequenceof the large
import of
cheapness of Potatoes,
but we will require a large import of Breads tuffs eater a few
months. Galetz Indian Corn, 91.; Ibrail and other Corn,
N. 15s. Indian Meal, 91. is 91. 52.
WATERPORD, August 26.-The weather during the early
part of this week was very showery, accompapied by inter-
vals of sunshine and brisk drying winds, of which our
farmers availed themselves, to cut and stack some qu,ntity
of Wheat. It rained continuously yesterday and het night;
this also is a wet, mug:y day. Such weather canner fail to
prove moot disastrous to all our crops, by det,riorating both
'heir quality and bulk Much of the Wheat now abroad is
likely to prove unfit for ordinary usee, and will have to be
appropriated to the wants of the poor. We had no old
corn at market this morning, but there were fair samples of
new Wheat and Oats; the farmer was generally inferior its
quality, the latter pretty good, and the whole met a ready
sale at our quotations. No Barley. The torrents of rain
which fat around here on Friday, the 18th Una., and the
foil wing Sunday, have proved most destructive to cur
Potato crops on all the rich and highly-manured lands ; this
has caused some speculation in Maize, and advanced the
prices about Is. per barrel. Flour during the week has been
sold eta further improvement of Is. to 2s. per sack. and belt
marks of superfines are now in request at 47e. per sack.

KIRKCALDY, August 26.-The weather during the early
part of this week was very unsettled. Thursday and Friday
were fine days; but to-day it is again wet, so that the har-
vest, which had commenced in the earlier &striae of the
county is interrupted ' • with fine weather next week, harvest
will be general. Although the appearance of the Potato
fields is worse than last week, and in some fields diseased
Potatoes have been found, still see do not think that the dis-
ease is making much progress with us. A good many are
selling in retail, at from 3L to 31. 10s. per ton. In the
neighbourhood of Perth, the disease has either manifested
itself more, or the farmers have less faith in their Potatoes
escaping it. as they are sending in more than the market
can take off; and even in retail, little over 21. to 21. 10e.
p. r ton can be made; neverthelesa, we saw very few diseased
amongst them: very much depends, we think, uron the
kind of weather we have for the next month, whether this
root will be preserved for human food or not. At our coun-
try markets this week we bad lessened supplies of Wheat,
which sold readily, at 4s. to ss. per qr. advance. Very few
Oats offering, and they were Is. to '2s. per qr. dearer. Little
of anything else offering. Here, to day, we had a fair supply
of Wheat, for which extravagat rates were asked ; where
sales were made, an advance of 45. per qr. was obtained ;
part remained unsold. Small supply of Oats, and they were
Is. per qr. dearer. Ooley one parcel of old Barley, which
sold at 345. per qr. ; and one of new, in very soft condition,
which sold at 255. per qr. Wheat, per qr , 565. to 685.;
Barley, 255. to 345.; Oats, 221, 6d, to 26e. Oatmeal, per bag
of 23016., 345.

CATTLE, &C.-SMITHFIELD, Two o' Clock.-
We have is-day an increased supply .of Beasts, and, the
weather being mild, the demand is limited, consequently
trade is heavy, at a small reduction in price. In
some instances a choice Scot makes 4s. 41.; but
the general average of best qualities do not reach
that figure. The number of Sheep is smaller, and
some of the very best descriptions make rather more
money ; Tne weather operates against big Sheep, and trade
is slow, but everything is cleared off at fair rates. Good
Calvers are not quite so plentiful ; trade is, however slow, at
very little airline. From Holland and Germany there are
616 Beasts, 2,680 Sheep, and 172 Calves from Scotland 200
Beasts; and France 10 Calves.

LAURENCE FAIR OF THE MEARNS -This old-established
market, held on Thursday, was but poorly supplied with
Cattle ; but the supply was more than equal to the demand,
and a good number of those on offer remained untold. Prime
fat were is request, at full prices; but there were fcw
Beasts fit for the butcher on the Muir. The highest rate
for fat Cattle did not exceed 7s. 6d. per Dutch stone . and,
v.ry tow came up to this figure. Two-)esr-old stots and
queys sold at Si. to 121.; and three-year-old, at 101. to 151.
per head. Small stirks were difficult to sell, at reduced
rates. The market, on the whole, was stiff; and no person
acquainted with the cattle in the district ever saw fewer good
animals at the fair. A good deal of Hay was sold, at 6d. per
stone from the tramp rick.
Lea Fat R.-This fair, so oelebrated in some parts of York-
shire, took place on Thursday, when the number of animals
far exceeded ttat of many previous fain. There was a con-
siderable business done in the Horse flesh, at from 24. te
61. each.
Dr OLIN, August 24.-We had a good attendance, bat
chiefly of middling and inferior kinds ; good meat sold at the
prices of this day week, but inferior was more tardy to sell,
and remained over until late in the day, especially thin
kinds of Sheep. Beef sold from 4d. to 6d. per lb. Mutton,
6d. to 7d. Veal, Sid. to 51d., all sinking the offal. Lambs.
14s. to 20s. each. The Pig market, although small in nun-
ben, was of much better stamp, and prices higher, 21s. to 56a.
being had for ordinary Dawn ; in fact all kinds are in tow
demand from the opportunity to feed from the state of the
Potato crop.
Gtstecusv, August 24.-At our market today the nut
her of Oxen shown was more than ecual to the demand. A
considerable reduction had to be submitted to before sales
could be effected. Beat Ox Beef cannot be quoted higher
than 50s. per owt._; second quality, 455. per cwt. ; cow
and inferior, from 375. to 40s. per cwt. sinking the offal.
The supply of good Sheep and Lambs was the largest
we have had this meson, there being 2,207; best aged
wethen realised 54d. per lb.; second and inferior, 4ell. to 41i,
sinking the offal. One good lot of withers brought 224., sold
by Archibald Campbell, Esq., of Islay. There were 8,468
Lambs, which brought from 2e. 6d. to Ds., according to
quality. A peat many Sheep and Lambe turned out unsold.
It was generally allowed to be the worst market we have had
this moon.
