HADLZION, Jan. 3.—Wa had a fair supply of Corn, and
in general the trs:.e was dull and lower, except for dry
Wheats. Barley and Beaaa declined Is. to 29. per qr.
Other deieriptions as of Late.
HUNTINGDON, Jan. I.—The market was lower, for blth
Wheat and Barley, by 14. per qr. on all best samples, whilst
inferior pare; le were neglec'ed. Oats, BeStIP, and Peas were
all dull of sale. The quot itioes are unaltered.
LTICEIiTER, Jan. I.—The market was heavy, and Wheat
le. per qr lower Barley ls. to 24. below last week. Oats
and beans very difficult to eel. Wheat, 66.. to 60s. Barley,
31s. to 345. grans, Me. to 60s. Oats, 265. to 341.

NoRTHAMPtoN, Jan. I.—There has been a good show of
both Wheat and Barley, and each bas had a downward ten-
dency, except the very best qualities. In other things slow
salea, at former prices.
PRESTON, Jan. I.—As usual at this period of the year,
only a very few millers and dealers attend the market, and
in the absence of any at ive demand for produce, the trade
has been somewhat languid; nevertheless, holders have been
firm, and in the few salts ( fretted the current rates of last
week have been maiotainfd. We had very little farmers'
Wheat offering at our corn exchange, and, hence wanted, an
advance of fad per w indle ha. been esfabli.hed. Irish in
fair requ(st. }lour steady. No alteration in the value or
is the demand for Oats. Oatmeal scarcely supported late
prices. All other articles nominally unaltered. The average
price of Wheat is Gls. per imp. qr.

Ricastonn, YORICSUIRE. Jan. I.—Only a thin supply of
grain. Wheat, 6s. 6d to Bs. Oat•, 2s. 9d. to 3s. Bd. Bar-
ley, 44. 6d. to 4..94. Beans, 6s. 6d. to 64. 3d. per hush.

BNIIIWCIBURY, Jan. I.—Samples were plentiful this day,
and many sales were ett.eted, a. follows Wheat, 61. 10d. to
7e. 4d. Burley, 44. 5.1. to 4.. Bd. Oats, 34. 3d. to 4a. 6d.
per imp. qr.

STETNING, Jan. 3.—Farmers asked high prices for
Wheat. The supply was moderate, and the business don*
was at late rates. Barley in short supply, and ready sale.
Oats, B: erns, and Peas but little inquired tor. Wheat, white,
131. 10.. to 141. ; red, 121. 16s. to 131. Barley, 32a. to 345.
Oats, 19s. to 21s. Beans, 365. to 40s. Peas, 365. to 38s.

SWINDON, LID. 3.—A goof inquiry for Wheats in grind-
ing condition, fur which the priers of last week were given ;
but all damp samples were of slow sale, at a depreciation in
wino. Tito top price given this day was 595. per qr. ; some
mid.iling dry samples, 555. to 565. ; interior, 52t.; poor and
damp, 50s. Barley, in quantity, exceeded the demand;
priors, therefore, fell from Is. to as., the very top prices
given Ming 34.. 6.1. per isr.; some very fair making but
321. to 335. ; others not moi, than 300. Malt varied in price
from 51s. up to 60.. per quarter ; trade dull. In Beans and
Peas but little doing. Oats were rather lower—say from
6d. to Is. per quarter.

YARMOUTH, Jan. 1.-We had again • small attendance,
and the supply of Cora moderate. Wheat, for the best par-
cels, was without alteration in price ; middling quality sold
very slowly. Barley must be called ls. per qr. lower for
all sorts Beans and Peas are cheaper ; and Oats are a dull
sale, having a pretty good supply. Wheat, white, 545. to
to 563. ; red, 60s. to 53.. Barley, 28e. to 30s. Beans, 40s.
to 41s. Pea., 40a. to 42a. Oats, 241. to 294. per qr.
Hasisetto, Dee. 28.-The frost still continues, though
not -eeerely, and business is limited to contracts for spring
shipment. We have some speculative inquiry for Wheat,
and a few purcha-es have been made, say, 62. b., from Po-
nerania, at 4.1. ; 6216. to 631 b., from Holstein, at 46..; and
02:h., for delivers- here, at 48s. 6.1. per qr. on hoard. Seale
Barley, 50.6. to 5111., is held st 335. 6d. per qr. here, buyers
offering 29.. Walsh Barley is in demand; Jutland tetchine
22.. no 23.. 3d. ; aid Island, 22.. 91. to 235. The little still
on offer is held high, r. In Oats we hive heard of no fresh
rrensuctions. Be. ns and Peas are held at late prices. In
Clovers, ed nothing doing. A cargo of Rape Cakes has been
sold at 107 s. per ton' on board, at a port of the Elbe. Liu-
seed Cakes are very fiat.
Idatuseitunn Dec. 27.-We have little or nothing of
interns: to report, every article remaining very dull, which is
gener.lly the case at this se..son of the year. The corn mar
ket was rather more animated at the commencement of last
wick, owing to the pre-ence in town of ...erne purchasers
from the country ; but these having fulfilled their purchases
and returned home before the holidays, the trade has eosin
fallen, and prices declined. Superior Polish Odefse, which
advanced to 42.. 6d., could to-day be purchased at 421., and
Marianopoli at 41s. per qr. In the course of another month
or so, the real position of the trade will be better known, as,
if wants really exist if, the South of France, as is said, pur-
chasers must then come forward. It appears pretty certain
hat foreign corn will likewise he admitted into Spain very
shortly. which circumstance would certainly occasion an
advance in price.
RuSTOCK. Dec. 27.-Our market has been animated of
late, and Wheat has been token off freely at enhanced terms.
The very picked samples cannot be bought now below 481.
to 494. per qr., free on board. Lower qualities are to be had
cheaper, down as far st. 43;. to 44.. per 53 by. Barley,
22.. W. to 235. Boiling Peas. 3.35. to 31s. per 3816. Oats,
19s. per 581bs. Rye, 284. pf.r qr., free on board.
STErriN, Die. 27.-During last week we had a con-
tinuance of frost. We have had but moderate supplies of
Wheat from the farm' n, which met a good demand for
local consumption ; and we qoote6llbs. to 621bs. red Ucker-
mark and Pomeranian NS beat, 454. per qr., free on board,
ia spring. Barley in good demand, and Pomeranian quality
is held 251. per qr., tree on board, next spring. Peas, small
boiling, 365. per qr. ; large Uckermark, 375., free on board,
next sprang.

show of store Cattle ; there were a few buyers, and late rates
were supported. Fat Beasts a small number, and INllell good,
at from 8,6 d. to Os. per stone for prime quality. The pens
were badly filled ; Hodge,* and keeping Sheep were a dull
sale, and few sold. FM. Sheep Bs. 3d. to Be. 6d. per stone
of 141bs. In store Pigs but little doing. Fat Pork, 6s. 6d.
to 7s. per atone.
BKIPTON FORTNIGHT FMR. - The quality of Beef
Cattle displayed an improvement in the show of last fortnight,
as well as an increase in numbers; all were cleared off at an
advance in prices, varyint from sd. to 64d. per lb. ; first-rate
qualities continue to be eagerly sought after, and comm►nd a
ready hide at the latter price, 64d. per lb. The demand for
Sheep is also improved, and, being not so numerous as last
fair, they have also panieipated in an improvement in price,
especially for the tint qualities, which were all sold up,
leaving nothing on hand but Scotch Ewes and other small-
sited Sheep. The prices were variable, from sd. to 7d. per
lb. Ntither the demand nor the show of Calvet.", either in
number or quality, was equal to the general exhibition of
this kind of stock; they were, however, all sold up, at the
recent advanced rates for this kind of stock, which, f-r some
time to come, will, in all probability, command improving
pricer. An increased traffic is eagerly carried on for store
Cattl, at improved rates.
