Cutest-arm May 10.—Our market to-day was in a very
depressed state. the best samples of Wheat were taken off

NEWCASTLE, May o.—The weather is now u fine u
could be wished, and our reports from the country with re-
ference to the appearance of the Wheat crop are much more
favourable, although in some lecalities we bear complaints
that the Wheat is not tilicring well. At our market this
morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the coun-
try, and from the coast, as well as from abroad, the arrivals
are trifling. Fresh-thrashed parcels were cleared off early,
at the rates of Saturday, but in south country and foreign
few transactions resulted, holders I.eing unwilling to accept
the prices currently offered. For Flour there was a slow in-
quiry, but in prices we note little change. Rye nominally
uaaltered. Malting liarl,y in good request, and grinding
sorts meet more attention than of late, and the same may be
said of Malt. Beans and Peas rather dearer, and Oats are
►eld more firmly.

Rostrouu, May 10.-To day our market was very heavy
for Wheat, with a reduction of 2s. to 3s. a quarter. All other
grain about the same as last week. Wheat, 40s. to 551 ;

HOPS. BASINGSTOKE, May 10.—The young
young plants is growing amazingly, consequently prices are
receding.

Wor.cEirrEn, May 10.—The demand for Hope has been
rather slack the last week, but prices remain about the same,
good yellow being worth from 60s. to 68s. per cwt. 1n other
sorts there is nothing doing. The plantation reports are,
upon the whole, more favourable, the bine having made con-
siderable progress since the change in the weather; and
polling is nearly finished.

CATTLE, B:e.—CinengsTEß, May 10.—We had
a plentiful supply of fat and lean stock this day, at lower
prices than last market. Beef, fat and prime, 4s. Gd. to
4s. Bd. ; Mutton, best quality, 51. 4d. to ,se. Bd. ; inferior
sorts. 44. Bd. to ss. ; Lamb, Gs. to Gs. 4d. ; Veal, 4s. 4d. to

101. to 141. ; fat Calves, very plentiful, 4s. to 4s. 2d. per st.

Duni.r.v FA IL—There was a good supply of Beef, which
fetched from Gd. to Old. per lb. There were a great many
Cows, and well-fed Cattle sold readily at the alove prices.
There were not many Sheep, but those in the wool sold at
81d.; those shorn at 71d., and a few returned unsold. There
was also a good supply of store and other Pigs, but they
were very dear, and few sold. Things upon the whole told
well, and a great deal of business was done. In the horse
fair there were a great many Horace, but generally of an
inferior description. There were some very good cirt horse:,
and the prices asked for some were from 40 to 60 guineas
each; few Hones were sold, and but little business was
transacted.
EXETER, May 10.—This was a largely and finely supplied
market, but generally dull sale. Indeed, though the sale of
fat Bullocks was of a very limited kind, even these, were
not sold. That of Sheep was comparatively larger, but
neither were these sold out. The show of Cows and
Calves was very fine, and in this way some business was
done, as also in Store Cattle, of which the exhibition
was large, and with some' good things among them. The
quotation for fat Bullocks must be continued at 535. to 60s.
per cwt ,or from 9s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per score. Butchers'
Calves were again in very large supply, and on good sale, at
from 4d. to Gd. per lb. The quotation for fat Sheep must be
stated; in their wool, from Old. to 71d. per lb; shorn, from
6d. to 61d. The quotation for store Sheep was from 26e. to
40s. a piece. Couples were dull, at from 3ts. to 465, per
couple. Fat Lambe were in larger "apply, and met a sale at
from 7d. to 71d. per lb. The quotation for store Bullocks
must be stated at from 325. 3d. to 38s. 6d. per cwt., or from
5s 9.1. to 6s. 94. per score.

ILSLEY (EAST llrnxs) LARGE SHEEP MARKET, May 10.
—Nearly fit, thousand Sheep acid Lambs for sale, of which
about -two-thirds went off at the following prices : Ram
Teg., large breed, from 455. to 551. ; smaller, 40s. to 445. ;
Ewe, haltbreds, 10s. to 50s. ; Down, 365. to 435. ; inferior,
30s. to 355.; full-mouthed Ewes, large sine, 40s. to 44.. ;

435. ; best Lambs, for stock, 30s. to 335. per head; moderate,
2.65. to 288.

LEEDS, May 10.—There was an unusually large supply
of fat Cattle at ;our market this morning, and chiefly of a
superior description of animals. The demand was not
equal to the supply, and the graziers seemed disinclined to
abate prices; yet, in many instances, lower rates were
taken before sales could be effected. Of Sheep, too, the show
was extremely large, both of shorn and woolled animals.
For these, also, the demand was slow; and, though prices
suffered a decline in this description of stock, yet many were
driven away unsold.

OswEscrae.—There was a Rood supply of fat Sheep at this
fair onWednesday,which made frem lid. to 61d. per lb; Sheep
in their wool fetched Bd. ; Ewes and Lambs must be quoted a
shade lower. The show of fat Beef was larger than lately,
and realised fully Csi. Pigs were plentiful, and made good
prices. The demand for Horses was brisk; and all useful
animals found ready buyers. From Hereford and other fairs
around us similar statements have been received.
OXFORD.—The fall in the price of store Sheep at the Ox-
ford monthly catt e market on Wednesday was, in conse-
quence of shortness of keep, considerable ; in some instances
Os. less: per head was given than at the previous April
market. Store Pigs were also much lower in price. The
demand for prime Beef and Mutton was good, with rather a
limited supply, which consequently kept
,up the price quite
equal to that of last market day.
ROMPORD, May 10.—Our market to-day was largely sup-
plied with lean and fat stock ; a very heavy sale, at re-
duced prices, with a great quantity not sold. Beef, from 3s.
to 4s. ; Mutton, to us. ; Lamb, Os. 4d. to 6s. 4d. ; Veal, 45.
to 45. Bd. ; Pork, 4s. to 4s. 6d.

SIIREW6BURY FAIR, May 10.—The supply of Sheep was
not so large as usual at this time of the year, neither was the
attendance of purchasers great. Beet fat Withers In their
wool made 7ld. per lb. ; and those out of their wool GO. to
7(1. Several lots were sent back unsold. The best lots of
Ewes and Limbs made a fair price, but still much reduced ;
while the inferior kinds were almost unsaleable. Pigs were
brisk, and all sold at improved prices.
- - - - • • • •

Sot THALL, May 10 —Trade heavy ; prices lower. Beef
made from 2s. 4d. to 4s. Mutton, 4s. 4d. to ss. Lamb,
.ss. Bd. to 6s. bd. Veal, 4s. 4d. to is. 2d. Pork, 3s. 4d.. to
4s. 10d. per atone of 81bs., sinking the offal.

TAVISTOCK FAIR, May 10.-A very large and superiors
show of Devon Oxen, with a moderate quantity of short-
horns and other Beasts. Some of the large stores were dis-
posed of,. at from 15s. to 255. per head less money; small,
104. ; prices varied. from 141. to 151. for good-sited Devout ;
11/. to 121. for middling; abort-horns were disposed of at
from 121. to 14/. ; speller Beasts, at from 81. to 101. North
Welsh droves went at from 6L to 81. per head; some year-
lings went at from 61. to 81. Best Cows, with a calf, sold at
17/. to 201. ; in-calf, 151. to 16/. ; Heifers, 131. to 111. Small
Alderneys, at from 111. to 121. A good show of Est Oxen;
the bent selected Devons and Herefords barely made 61d. per
lb.; some very good meaty making from 511. to 6d. A short
supply of fat bacon Hogs and small Porkers; prices from
9s. to 10s. per score. TThe best fat Sheep made but 45. 10d.
per stone. Large fat Lambs, ss. 10d. to 6s. per stone.
Sheep for fattening, &c., were down 31. to Ss. each.
Wonczaren FAIL-There was a good attendance of
buyers, and a plentiful supply of Beef and Mutton, and es-
pecially store Sheep. Beef produced from 6d. to 61d.; the
latter prise being obtained with difficulty, and many were
sent home unsold. Mutton realised from 7d. to 71d. ;
Stores suffered a decline of 3s. as compared with the former
fair, and many were unsold ; but fat ones sold readily. This
is probably owing to the apprehensions of a hot, dry summer,
and the scarcity of keep. Ewes and Lambs fetched from 31.
to 4s. less per head than at the last fair. There was a good
chew of Pigs, which still maintained high prices; small
Pip somewhat lower. The Horse fair was not numerously
attended, and prices were a 'Attie lower.
