the quotations of this day se'nnight were fully obtained. In
other descriptions of grain little or no alteration was per-
ceptible. Wheat, white, 62.. to 655. ; red, 688. to 625. Bar-

NEWBURY, DEC. 3.—We had this day a liberal
supply of Wheat, a great portion of which was old, of infe-
rior quality. The sale procewled slowly, at a decline of
about le. per quarter. A tolerably good supply of Barley,
which met a free sale, at Is. more money. Oats and Beans
were dull, and a shade lower. A decline on Flour of Is. Rd.
per sack. Averages to the 28th November, 1846 :-1,412
quarters of Wheat, at 57•. 10d. ; 1,134 Barley, at 395. 7d. ;
97 of Oats, at 22e. 24.; 30 of Beans, at 46e. 241.
PLYMOUTH, Dec. 3.—Very little business done in
Wheat at this morning's market, millers not being disposed
to buy at any advance. Flour in good demand at former
prices: Barley, 36e.; Oats, 24e. to 28e. Beans, 425. to 48s.

SALISBURY, DEC. I.—Our market again exhibited
a good supply of Wheat, and the farmers were anxious to do
business, but by demanding higher rates they prevented pur-
chases being made. After a while they consented to last
week's prices, and business proceeded, but skill on a limited
scale. Wheat, 545. to 661. Barley, 345. to 455. Oats, 241.
to 28s. Beans, 42a. to 48s. Flour, 465. to 625.

LIMERICK, DEC. 2.—Weather has been very frosty
at night, and dense fogs during the day since last &drifts,
and the difficulty of travelling must be very great, which,
perhaps, a good deal diminished our supplies of grain at mar- '
et. It was not at all expected we should, under any cir-
cumstances, have had only a small market to-day ; but, per-
haps, owing to above reasons it only consisted, in all, of about
30 to 40 loads of Wheat, and prices were nominally the same
as last reported. Oats bought up eagerly at I4d. to 15d. per
stone. Very little Barley appearing. Consumption very
great, and several cargoes of Indian Corn, known to be off
dm coast, anxiously expected.
WATERFORD, DEC. 2.—Our market has been in a
vary animated state since Saturday. Wheat must be quoted
dearer by Is., and Oats by 3d. per boll. The price of Bar-
ley, in the absence of any supplies, is at present quite nomi-
nal. Flour commands • ready sale at late rites. Indian
Corn has advanced during the last few days fully 2s. to 38.
per boll ; and Indian Corn Meal goes largely into coneump.

obtainable for it.

demand, with the turn in favour of buyers. Barley was I
slowly taken off, and last week's rates were barely main-
tained. Oats sold readily at prices rather above those of
this day ee'nnight. Beans, Is. per qr. cheaper. White Peas,
of which we have large arrivals, are in limited request at late
rates. Wheat, 816 qrs. sold, 68a. top, 6111. 2d. average ;

GLASGOW, DEc. 2.-The imports from the coast,
via Grangemouth, continue liberal, comprising, since the
25th ultimo, 4,400 qr. Wheat, 2,100 Barley, 3,000 Oats,
1,500 loads Oatmeal, eta 1,600 sacks Flour, together with
620 qr. Wheat, 500 Barley, and 680 Pens, from abroad.

was offering at 555. per 4801 b. in bond, and a cargo of Peters-

scarce, has commanded 6d. to Is. per barrel over late rotes.
The weekly supplies of Oats continuing inadequate to the
wants of our millers, the recent advance in the value of fine
qualities has been firmly supported, with a good consump-
tive demand fur Oatmeal. For Barley rather higher prices
have been required, with which the distillers were unwilling
to comply. Beans and Peas have remained steady. A par-
cel of American Indian Corn has been retailing at 31.. 6d.
per 2801 b. There WAS little appearance of business at our
market to-day, but all articles were held for full
prices, and an advance of 6d. per boll was realised
for Barley. The weather has become severe. Wheat,

REVIEW OF TIIE SCOTTISH GRAIN MARKETS
DCRINCI THE PAST WEEK.-Supplies in the part week's
markets were generally middling in quantity, and rather less
than those of the week before. Marken' were brisk, and
Wheat and Barley, on the whole, improved in quotations,
the rise being more universal in respect to barley. Oats
had rather a dull sale, and a tendency to decline in price.
Wheat: At Perth there was a full attendance, but little
disposition to do business. Prices remained firm, new
Wheat (611 M.) bringing 56a. to 58s. ; old (60 to 63 IMO.
60s. to 655. At Elgin there was a fair business transacted, and
prices rose Is, per quarter. At Kirkcaldy the supply was
middling, with a slow sale, but no reduction in value. At
Stirling there were 37 bolls in the market. Quotations ex-
hibit a slight improvement of 31d., but really there was a
fall of 31d. At Falkirk the supply was 55 bolls, with a
brisk market, and an improvement in prices. The return
gives 5711 b. to 601 b. a bushel (the latter old), 225. to 295. Gd.
At Haddington the supply was smaller, and sales quick.
The average price was 7d* At Dalkeith the supply was
middling, and sales rather dull. Top price 691. Barley :
At Perth, with limited transactions, there was a rise of
shout Is. The return gives (501 b. to 531 b.), 31s. to 345. At
Elgin there was no alteration. At Kirkcaldy there was a
middling supply, and the runs fully maintained the previous
week's prices, while the best qualities sold at 6d. a quarter
higher. At Stirling there were 97 bolls in the market, and
a brisk sale. The average rise was 1114. At Falkirk the
supply was 133 bolls ; the market was brisk, andpriees better
The return gives (5011 b. to 5311 b.), 245. Gd. to 28s. At H addi n g-
ton the supply was smaller, with quick sales, anda rise of Id.
The supply was 302 quarters, of which 202 sold. At Dalkeith
the supply was middling and the sale was ready. At Perth,
in some cases, Oats realised an advance of Gd. The return
gives (40 lb.) 28s. to 30s. At Elgin there was a fair business
doing, but no change in value. At Kirkcaldy the supply was
rather large, with a reduction in price of 6d. to Is. per qr.
At Stirling there were 231 bolls in the market ; sales were
brisk, with an average rise of 44d. At Falkirk there were
33 bolls, but no improvement in prices. The return gives
(354 lb. to 37 lb. a bushel) 19s. 6d. to 20s. Gd. a boll. At
Haddington there were 377 quarters, of which 369 sold. The
fall in pricea .1101 sd. at Dalkeith ; the supply was middling,
and sales ready.-Edinburgh Weekly Regteter.
PARIS.-The Constautionnel has the following :-
" The price of bread in Paris remains fixed for the tint
fortnight of the present month at 46c. the kilogramme (21b.)
first quality, and 38e. the second quality, the fall which
took place in Flour at the end of the month not having
been sufficient to make up for the rise of the preceding
markets. This fall, which has been general, has also been
without effect on the monthly table published by the Minis-
ter of Agriculture, to serve as the regulator for the duties
on import and export, since this table is establish-d on
changes which took place in the last week in October and the
first and second weeks of November. This table, therefore,
shows a fresh rise on the general average established on the
31st October last. The general average which, at that
period, was at 26f. 36c., is now 27f, 79c., or a rise of If. 43c.
Let us hope that the next month will give us a better
result. We learn that arrivals of foreign corn continue to
be received at Marseilles, and that some flour has been im-
ported from the United States. Havre has also received
some Wheat from the Mediterranean. The rise has been
general, and it extends pretty generally throughout all the
departments, with the exception of the markets of which
Metz, Verdun Soissors, and Charleville, are the regulators,
and where it has never exceeded 44c. The greatest rue has
been in the markets of Saumur, Nantes, and Murans, where
it has exceeded 2f. Nevertheleas, the averages of these
markets remains nearly 10f. below the average of those of
the Upper and Lower Rhine."

coitN.-FOIMIGN.-Winter has made its appearance in the
but it was ,not expected that the navigation would be ekwed for the
present. In Danzig Meiners was almost at a nand. The arrisans
were delayed by want of water its the Vistula, about 13,1000 qrs. tas
barges were detained along with a number of timber rafts, about 90
miles op the river, where a portion will probably be caught by the
frog: owing to the circumstance preventing fresh arrivals, and factors
sot offering married pare Is, there was a total aeration of business.
At Stettin the supplies were trifling, and considerable complaint ex-
isted as to the result of the last crop. Prices remained nominally r
last quoted. 541'. to Nis. for old, on the spot, and 30s. for delivery in

At Leghorn, the favourable accounts from Genoa and Marseilles have
caused holders to be very firm in their demands. The only sale re-
Dated for England was 3,000 qrs. Tuscan Maize, which is quoted at
ficl. to 345. per quarter, f. o. b. Letters from Odessa arc to the
let and 13th November. With continued absence of vessels and
favourable weather for the transport of Grain, the arrivals had con-
tinued very large, and the stock of all descriptions of Grain was esti-
mated to fall little short of two mill ons of ebetwerts (1,300,000 qrs.).
A considerable fleet of vessels were however oo passage from Con-
stantinople, and the future range of prier will in a great measure
depend upon whether these veeels arrive before the elope of the navi-
gation. The arrival of these vessels would however relieve holders
of their advances, and it is principally from the tightness of money
that any decline of consequence can be expected. Present quotations
are 355. to Ms. for prime 6211 r. yellow Polish, 31 ft rd. to 32e. for red

bought up in small parcels at 335. to 356. 6d. per quarter. Lo. b. No
