THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1853.

lane nearly cowed a suspension of transactions; the little
wheat sold has been at • further decline of Is. per qr
Nothing worth notice doing in barley. Lower prices have
not been submitted to fur oat.. Beans fully as high. Peas
difficult to quit. At this day's market, there was • abort
supply of wheat, and lower prices were not generally sub-
mitted to for English ; but the little foreign which changed
hands was sold at Is. per qr. under the currency of this day
sennight. Barley nominally unaltered. Oats realised
quite as much money, and fine ones more inquired for.
Beans not quite so much in demand. Peas dull.
BRISTOL, Max 6.-The weather has been of late well
suited to the growing crops, and the accounts from the
country districts surrounding this city represent the season
as wearing a most encouraging aspect. The recent rains
have been very valuable to the root crops, while the wheat
plant (particularly on spring sown pieces) is everywhere
healthy end luxuriant. This state of the weather is sof
without its influence on the market, and combined with the
reports from the London and Liverpool, and other great
markets, has had a tendency to depress prices. The supply
of English wheat has been moderate, but the demand has
been far from active, and prices are lower by fully la. per
quarter. In foreign there is not much doing, and sales can
only be effected at a reduction for fine qualities of fully Is.
per quarter, and upon Mediterranean and Black Sea qua-
lities of from Is. 6d. to 21. per quarter. For flour the de-
mend has been sluggish, and it has participated in the de-
cline upon wheat. English weeds and foreign are both
cheaper to the extent of from 6d. to Is. per barrel and sack.
For barley there is a fair consumptive demand, and cur-
rencies are about the same as upon this day so'noight.
Oats meet witk • tolerable sale, at about pre-
vious rates. In beans there is not • large
trade doing, but prices are pretty well supported.
The prices were as follows: English wheat, new, 38s. to
46,. per imperial quarter; English red, -a. to -a. per
ditto; foreign white, 48s. to 625. per 4801ba.; foreign red,
extra floe qualities, 465. to 471.6 d. per ditto; fine qualities,
40s. to 43.. per ditto ; ordinary qualities, 365. to 395. per
ditto; foreign hard, 355. to 375. per ditto ; English seconds
flour, 325. to 345. per sack ; United States, &c., sweet, 225.
to 245. per barrel ; English malting barley, 32a. to 3.55.
per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding ditto,
245. to 2.55. per 4001 be. ; Devon and Welsh feed oats,
17s. to 18s. per imperial quarter ; Irish white ditto, 18e. 6d.
to 20s. per 3201 be. ; Irish black ditto, 17s. 6d. to lie. 9d.
per imperial quarter ; English beans, 38s. to 425. per ditto;
foreign ditto, 35r. to 38s. per 480Ibe. The arrivals on ship-
board for the week have been-Wheat, 8,179 qrs., 119
brig.; oats, 1,194 bets., 147 qrs.; barley, 2,200 qrs., 40 belt.;
beams, 267 qrs.; flour, 450 sacks. the official return of
the corn inspector gives the following averages-Wheat,
43e. Bd. ; oats, 18s. Ild. ; barley, 32.. Ild.
Devizes, May 6.-We had a large supply of Wheat to-
day, includiag in it several samples of nice old Wheat. The
general quality of the new was still very inferior, although
the best part of it came to hand in improved condition.
The trade was very dull, and to effect sales a reduction of
from Is. to 2a. per qr. had to be submitted to, but as the
farmers generally resisted this reduction, a very considerable
proportion remained unsold. Barley was in small supply,
and sold very readily at last week's prices. Beans and Peu
no alteration. Tares were more inciuired after; price 6s. 9d.
to 71. per bushel. Wheat, white, fsbe. per qr. ; best red, Ms.
to 64a. ; middling, 395. to 51a. ; inferior, 325. to 395. Barley,
265. to 395. Oats, 18s. to 261. Beans, 34s to 425. Peaa,
344. to 435. Flour, fine, per sack, 375. to 405.; seconds, 32a.
to 365.

NEWARK, May 4.—Our market to-day was very small,
farming operations preventing the attendance of the sur-
rounding occupiers. The supply was proportionate to the
inquiries in all kinds of grain, and business ruled heavy and
slow throughout the day. 01 Wheat and Barley the show
was fair, but the prior of last week declined, and a reduc-
tion of from Is. to 2s. per qr. was submitted to for Wheat,
and Barley sustained its value, although the inclination was
also downward. In spring core no alteration in prise, and
a fair business done. Averages: Wheat, white, from 62..
to 641.; red, 475. to 485.; grinding Barley, 275. to 305.;
malting ditto, 325. to 345.; Oats, new, 20s. to 235. ; old,
225. to 245. ; Beans, new, 375. to 425.; old, 425. to 445.
per qr.

NEWBCRT, May s.—We had this day a large supply of
Wheat, • considerable portion of which was of inferior
quality. A small quantity only was disposed of, and that
at • reduction of from Is. to 2s. per qr. Barley in only re-
tail demand, at late prices. Osts, Beans, and Peasfully as
dear.

UXBRIDGE, May s.—The corn trade Is now dull, the de-
mand for spring seed being over, and the supply of Wheat
offering more than the consumptive demand. The beat
price for Wheat is 565.; the average price 45e. per qr.
WATERFORD, May 4.—We have had liberal arrivals of
Wheat from abroad since Saturday; of Indian Corn the im-
ports have been to a fair extent. In supplies of farmers'
grain no increase can be noted. Our market to-day was
characterised by great dulne‘e, and, except for Indian Corn
and low-priced Wheats, there was scarcely any demand.

GLASGOW, May 4 —The week's arrival, include several
small cargoes of Wheat: and Barley from Danish ports,
one of Wheat from Egypt, and one of Barley from Spain.
During the week both Wheat and Flour were offering at
reduced prices, without leading to any transactions of mo-
ment, and there was little businiss reported in other articles.
At this day's market the tendency of prices was still down-
wards, Wheat being generally offered at 6d. per boll, and
Flour 6d. per brl. and Is. per sack under last week's quota-
tions; and, in some instances, a greater reduction was sub-
mitted to fur the former article. Oats, Barley, and Beans
were each in limited request, without change in value. Peas
6d. to Is. per boll cheaper.
CATTLE.—Nzw•ite., May 4.—At market to-day there
was a large stock which meta ready sale, and a good busi-
ness was transacted at quotations fully equal in amount to
those of lest week. There were 255 Beasts, 610 Sheep,
and 119 Pigs penned.
SALFORD, May 4.—We were well supplied with stock
to-day ; Beasts were mainly Irish. Good Beef sold readily,
without change in value. Mutton scarcely realised last
week's rates, and at the elose of the market some stock of
fair quality unsold.
SOUTHALL, May 4.—We bad a short supply to-day,
nevertheless trade was slow, and last week's rates were
barely maintained. Beef made from 2s. to 4s. 6d. Mut-
ton, 3s. 10d. to 6s. 6d. Lamb, ss. 6d. to 6s. Veal, 31. 10d.
to 4e. Bd. Pork, 3s. to 4s. 2d. per stone of 81be., sinking
the offal.
