SUNDERLAND, lu;.; 29.-The weather has been TCI T fins
during the week, and the Wheat plant is in excellent curtai-
l' tion ; the oar is filling fast, and ether crops are as promising
as could be desired. The great hulk of the Hey crop may
be consider:d secured, in excellent condition. The arrivals
coastwise have been 150 qrs. of Oats, and 1.90 sasks
'of Flour. From the farmers today there was again a set,
small supply of Wheat, which sold slowly at an advance of
2e. per qr, This advance may be considered speculative.
The demand for fresh south country Wheats Is good, at our
quotations. The best Wheats are worth 545. to 565. ; gond
average qualities 50s. to 525. ; and inferior sorts. 465. to 48e.
per qr. Oats are in better demand. at 19s. to 225. Daley,
at 275. to 32s ; Beans, at 325. to 36.. ; zed Peas, at 30s. to
324., are dull sale. Malt is in improved demand, at 525. to
58s. Good Potatoes are selling at 8d per stone. This
demand for Flour is steady ; south country is charged 38s. to
395., and homemade, 365. to 37. per sack.
WARMINSTER, July 22.-The supply of Wheat was I.,ge,
and, at the commencement of the market, realized a slight
advance on our late quotations, hut towards the close, sales
were effected Is. per qr. b. low Let week's prices. A mode-
rate business done in Barley ' and the prices for all other
grain the same as last week. Wheat, 40a. to 51s. Barley,
324. to 3.55. Oats, 211. to 255. Beans. 40s. to 455.
WIN CHESTER, July 29.-Our market today was but
thinly attended; and the sole for Wheat somewhat tardy
at an advance of from Is. to 2s per qr. on last week's prices,
whilst the amount of business done in ether descripti r,s of
grain was but trifling. Wheat, 111. to 131. 14s. per lo.d ;
barley, 275. to 335. per qr. ; Oats, 21s. to 255.
Wrstizew, July 29.-The supply of Wheat to day is large;
of other grain small. At the becinning of the market much
higher prices were a-ked, in tiOSINCIIIIIICO of the re port of
the potato disease gaining ground, but the is eattur pros mg
line, the trade did not close quite so firm as it b‘stan, yet, at
Is. to 2-s. per qr. over last week's prices these we-e several
buyers. Oats and Beans as last week. Wheat, flise, white,
611 b. to 621 be., 48s. to 60s. per qr. ; red, 475. to 495. ; good

supplied with Wheat by the growers, and, owing to the Ilea
weather, the trade ruled dull, at an advanc; of stunt 3, per
qr. Barley, Is. par qr. higher; Oats, Is. ; 11c.ms, l'ers,

YORK, July 29.-The weather has become more settled.
Our farmers are asking an advance of 3.. to 4.. per qr. on
Wheat, which has checked business. We note prices 2a.
higher. In other grain no alteration. The re; orte respect-
ing the potato crop are various, hut, up to the present time,
no very great injury has taken place. Wheat, white, 535.

BELFAST, July 28. -The weather during the past week
has been variable, stormy, and unseasonable, and in same
cams it is said injury has been done by the high winds,
breaking the straw and laying the grain crops. Rt ports
still prevail as to the potato crop being touched by the dis-
ease of 1846, and we are sorry to say come inter authenti•
cated cases have been spoken of than had anpeared hitherto
this reason. The supplies of grain at our market are small
even for the season. Wheat has advanced 3d. per cwt., and
is in good demand. Parcels much inquired for. Flour has
advanced Is. per cwt., and is in fair demand. Barley nomi-
nally as quoted lest week. Oats have advanced 3d. to 44.,
and are scarce and wanted. Oatmeal in good demand, at an
advance of Is. to Is. 3d. Holders of parcels expect 'till
higher rates. Indian Corn scarce. and as a free sale at an
advance et 10s. to 15s. per ton. Yellow, 91. ss. to 91. 10s. ;
white, 9/. to 91. 10s. per ton.
Coax, July 25.-A derided improvement has taken plate
in the character of the weath:r, still it is not as settled PI
could be desired. We continue to I ective unfavourable
accounts of the Wheat crop, which all admit will prove a
short one. Since our last, the disease in the Potato crop
has made no progress in this district. Owing to this, as
well as to the excitement caused by the threatening aspect of
political matters, producing as it does distrust and uncer-
tainty, Inelan Corn has given way in value, and the trade,
in general, has become excessively dull ; nor can we look tor
return to a better state of things till confide nee and order shall
be restored. The arrivals of foreign grain are few. The sup-
plies of home produce are very light. In the prices of the
different descriptions of grain there is little or no change, the
small quantity stirring being taken readily at late rates. In
prepared Wheat we have little business doing. Holders ast
305. per barrel, hut we have no transacti ms of consequence
to record. :Meeks very small. In prepared Oats little passing.
The general dulness of trade and the prospect of the now crop
soon appearing combine to render the trade lifeless. A parcel
ha. changed hands at 10s. 9d., free on board. The Flour
trade al, is exceedingly dull, arid any purchases that are
made are merely to supply pressing wants. We do not, how.
ever, alter our quotations. Indium Cern has become almost a
drug, end from the causes already referred to. Prices also
have given way to the extent of ss. to 104. per ton, the top
price of the best Galata being now only 91. ss. to 91. 7s. 64.
per ton.
WATERFORD, July 29 -We have had another week of
ungenial weather, which has had the t Sect of not only re-
tarding our harvest, but of materially injuring our Wheat
crop. Thin, combined with the lightuess of our stocks, and
the general improvement of the trade in the Euglish mar-
kets, has enabled the few holden of Wheat to realise an ad-
vance of Is. 6el. to 2s. per harrel on the pricea of this day
se'nnight. Barley may be quoted nominally as at the
close of lass week. Oats, bring in improved request
during the last day or two, must be noted dearer, by
2d. to 3.1. per barrel. Our stock of Indian Corn as
now reduced to a very small compass, and the few rem-
nants of it are held for 265. to 27e. per barrel; but
the demand is checked, the supply of potatoes in the
interior being abundant, at 44. to fed. per 141bs. Flour is
in good demand, at an advance of Is. per sack. During the
last four or five days the potato blight has made its appear-
ance in this district, but as yet it can only be detected in
small patches of some fields, on the leaves and stalks. l'rices:
Undried Wheat, millers', per 20 stone, 28s. Gd. to 305.;

KIRKCALDY, July 29.-We have had unsettled, ungenial
weather during the greater part of this week. To-day it
has become fine; and, aa the barometer has been gradually
rising, we may fairly anticipate a continuance of dry weather,
which would now be beneficial to all the crops, more
especially the Potato crop. The r..ther alarming accounts
that have reached us respecting the potato disease
in some parts of England, have led us to examine minutely
the growing Potatoes in this country ; and although, gene-
relly, the appearance of the stems give indicatit n that the
crop at the best will be but a moderate one, still, we could
trace no appearance of disease in the fields; nevertheless, an
occasional diseased rotato may be found amongst the garden
ones. The spindly appearance of the stems may be, in part,
owing to the change in the varieties that our farmers have
been compelled to plant, in consequence of the disease of 1846
almost extirpating the old r. d potato. At our country markets
this week, partly owing to the broken weather, coupled with
the exciting amounts from toe large leading market., a consi-
derable demand eADEI d for all kinds of corn; and where sales
were made, an advance of 2i. to 4s. per qr. on Wheat, and
Is. per qr. I n Barley. Oats, Beans, and l'eas were realised.
liere, to-day. we had a good supply of Wheat, which sold
readily at fully 2s. advance en last week's rates ; a small
supply of Berle y, and only a moderate one of Oats; both gold
at 6d. to le. per qr. over last week's rates. Wheat, 48s. to
595. per qr. Barle 28e. to 335. Oats, 201. 64. to 255.
Oatmeal, per bag of 2831b1., 325. is 335.

WOOL.—LONDON.—Since the close of the public
sales, the market has had a firmer tone, hut at present
little busines- has been done, buyers having satisfied them-
relent with the late purchases. Foreign remains dull of sale,
without change in price. Arrivals last week are 10,375
bales colonial, 790 bales foreign. The market for English is
quiet, but no change in price can be quoted.
LivEßPOOL.—There is decidedly a better feeling existing
in our market for foreign Wool, but, as we shall receive
large supplies from all parts of the world, there cannot for
some time be much advance in price. There are to be some
public sales here on the 10th and 11th of August, of about
1,000 hales of fine colonial and 400 hales Capes, as well as some
law Wools. In Scotch business is limited, the selection at
present being indifferent; but large quantities are daily ex-
pected. Imports for the week ending July 20; foreign, 284
bales; pre. iously, 47,599; total, 47,883. Scotch, 34; pre-
viously, 8,021; total, 8,058.
CATTLE, B.:C.—SIIITIIFIELD, Two Clock.—The
supply of Beasts is not quite so large—adequate, however, to
the demand. Some of the choicest qualities are readily sold,
at fully late prices, ar.d in a few instances at &small advance;
but middling kii.ds met with a dull sale, at ab ut late
rates. We are well supplied with Sheep, and, in con-
sequence of the depressed data of the dead markets,
trade is worse for them. Big Sheep are with difficulty dis-
posed of at a reduction of 2d. per Sibs. A little more inquiry
for Lambs, but prices no higher. Calves sell slowly, at 2d.
Eer 81bs. redurion. From Holland and Germany there are
437 Beasts, 4,080 Sheep, and 263 Calves; from Scotland, 500
Begat*; Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, 1,400; and
Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, GOO.
