PIITMILDOROOOII, Nov. 18.-'lhe weather during the last

Paserrow, Nov. 18.-A very inanimate feeling has pre-
vailed In the corn trade throughout tha past week ; and, ex-
cept for choice samples of Oatmeal, each seem might hove
been bought on rather easier terms. Owing to our neigh-
bouring fanners being occupied in their outdoor occupations,
the supply of English Wheat at our Corn Midrange to-day,
was not equal to the demand, consequently the gale was
brisk, and the rates of this day n'nnight fully established.
Irish, meeting with very little attention, must be noted 241.
to 3d. per bushel cheaper, and at this reduction, sales were
difficult to effect. Floor, 6d. per pack lower. Beans in
good demand, at the above rates. Oate nominally maintained
our last quotations. There was a good show of farmers'
Oatmeal, which met a slow sale, at a decline of 1.. per load •,
the beet samples, 28s. 61. Irish nearly supported our last
currency, but the demand was not so nave to-day as during
the week. The average price of Wheat this week is 63,. 841

ILIADINO, Nov. 18.-A small supply of Wheat, bat the
rates of last week were with much difficulty maintained.
Earley was le. per quarter lower, except for very superior
rural". Old Beane fully as dear, but all other grain exces-
sively dull, and prices looking down.
SAFFRON WALDEN, Nov. 18.-At market to-day Wheat
and Barley aold le. p r quarter chant. in request ;
very short supply. Bung scarce. Oats oar the advance.
fieurweeeme, Nov. 18.-Our market this day was well
supplied with Wheat, Barley, and Oats, which met with a
dull sale, the Wheat, generally speaking, in very bad condi-
tion. Wheat 2.., Barley 25., and Oats le. per qr. lower than
last week, the farmers not wiling "ellen at the prin.
SUNDIIILLAND, Nov. 18.-The weather has gradually ina•
proved during the week, and is now very fine and dry,
enabling the farmers to secure the Potato crop, and to re
some Held work. Little Wheat having been yet sown, they are
now busy in preparing the ground for that operation, sod,
should the remainder of the month continue tine, there will
be a great breadth of Wheat sown. The arrivals coastwise
during the week have been 570 qrs. of Oats, and 160 qrs. of
Barley. From the farmers there was hut a short supply of
Wheat, which sod readily at the rates of Mat week. The
beat Wheats are worth 68s. to 625. ; good average panels,
625. to 565.; and inferior sample", 41e. to 50e. The demand
for South Country Wheats is very steady and good. Malting
Barley at 320. to 34.. is in demand, and grinding is good sale
at 28s. to 32a. Oats are in fair demand at 23a. to 26%
Bean ere worth 34e. to 38e. Flour is in good demand at
41s. to 425. (or South Country, and 391. to 40e. for home
made.

WAIIIIINSTIIa, Nov. 18.-New Wheat was plentiful, and
very inferior, but the better samples were SCAM. The
demand for the latter was good, and prices firm ; but, for
the inferior lots, there were no purchasers. We had a good
Supply of Barley, for which the demand was very slow ; and
good old Barley wee with difficulty placed at forme quota-
tions, whilst inferior descriptions were sold at receding vices.
There was a copious supply of Oats and Beans; trade was
limited, though not purchased on easier terms than this day
week. Old Malt scarce. Old Wheat, 42a. to 625.; new
40e. to 665. Barley, 28e. to 36e. Oats, 21s. to 245. Bean s,
40s. to 60s. per qr. Vetches, 10s. 6d. to 12e. per bushel.
WINCHLSTEII, Nov. 18.-We have been fully supplied
with all &minimum of grain today. No progress could be
undo in sales but at prices from Is. to 2s. below last week.
sod at that reduction trade ruled very dull. The
asp* of Barley was large, and the trade proved sluggish,

Wieners, Nov. 18.-We continue to be fairly supplied
mlih Wheat, and but scantily with other grain ; the Wheat
Maas rules dull, and must be called Is. to 2s. per qr. lower
Wag. Beaus and Oats maintain their previous value. It
somewhat singular, even to far-seeing men, that the
WlMmatunde should be so &premed all over the kingdom,
awed, no doubt, by anticipating the effect cf the coming
tree trade, which seems to be eating its shadow before it, so
that probably anticipation may be doing more than reality
, will do. However, one thing is certain of the late harvest,
and that is, of the two crops well spoken of, viz. Wheat and
' Barley, neither can be called an average, particularly that of
Wheat, takiag the kingdom throughout, whilst Oats, Beans,
and Peas are miserably deficient, probably not more than
half mops. The Potato crop is also diseased and bad, and it
may be fairly estimated that not more than one-third se fit for
human food. If, with an this, prices can still go lower, it
will be moat extraerdineu7. The following are the prates
to the grower: Wheat, new, red, 6911 w. to 621b5., 43a.
to 49a. per qr. ; extra, 60s. ; white, 455. to Ms. ; extra, 635. ;

WORCESTIIL Nov. 18.-At our market to-day there was a
good supply of Wheat, which sold slowly, at a reduction of
Is. per qr. en old sad fine new, and 2.. on secondary qua-
lities. Netting Barley, le. per qr. lower; grinding main-
tained its value. Oats 6/1. per qr. Shaper, and difficult to
*ell in quantity. On Beans the turn was in favour of the
buyer.
Tons, Nov. 18.-We have a small show of Wheat, but
large of Barley. Wheat Is dull sale, and Is. per qr. lower.
Barley, of beet malting quality, is 2s. per qr. lower ; grinding
qualities, 2s. to 3e. Oats slow sale, and 6d. lower. In other
articles no alteration. Wheat, white, 50.. to 645. per imp. qr.;
red, 48e. to Ms. Barley, maltiag, 30s. to 335. ; grinding, 255.
to 285. Beans, 345. to 40s. Rye 30s. to 325. Malt, 60s. to
645. Oats, 10d. to Ild. per stele of 141 b. Flour, 40s. to
44e. per sack of 28011 w.
DUBLIN, Nov. 17.-Our supplies this day were very
moderate, and little animation was displayed in any article.
We cannot, however, reduce our quotations, which remain
aomiaally the same as on Tuesday loot The following
are the present prices: Wheat, white, 261. to 305.•. red,
24a. to Ws. 6d. par 28016. Oats, 9s. 6d. to lle. 9d. per 1961ba.

cer cwt.
Bum?, Nov. 17.-We have bad a week of splendid
weather for the season, and everywhere the farmers are
busily engaged in planting Wheat, and finishing the raising
of the Potato crop. The supplies of grain at market are
moderate, and of Oatmeal abundant. Wheat: The condition
of Wheat forward this week is so much better than previ-
viously that, although prices are unchanged, yet the value
is 641. better than last week ; some small parcels of fine pre.
rand white Wheat sell at 111. 15e. per ton, and red at 10s.
less. Flour is unchanged in value, but dull of sale. Barley
sells slowly at former rates. Oats aro unchanged in price,
but the Improved condition makes them 2d. to 3d. better
value. Oatmeal has declined 2d. to 3d., but sales are readily
made at this decline. ludiaa Corn is now in few hands, and
yet is a slow sale at 81. 2s. 6d. to W. 7s. 6d. per ton yellow,
and 81. to 81. fa. for white.
Coax, Nov. 18.-With the exception of yesterday, which
was hazy and damp, the weather throughout the week teas
been very fine, and considerable programs has been made in
out-door labour. Supplies of grain to our market have, in
consequence decreased ; the week's cossisted of 1,174 bar-
rels Wheat, 2,698 barrels Barley, and 10,262 barrels Oats.
The dull 'dykes from the leading English markets have
had a corresponding influence on ours-and the trade gene-
rurally remains in the same dull, uninteresting positron as
noticed la our several preceding reports; prices, however,
have undergone so little variation, that we writs quotations
for all kinds as before. The Floor market remains very
flat, supplies far exceeding the demand, and though factors
generally submitted to an abatement of Is. per cwt., the
trade has been quite of a retail character. For Indian
Corn we have experienced an increased demand,
with a more speculative feeling, and stocks being
now in few hands, with short arrivals, an advance
of 2s. 6d per ton has been folly established on the week ; the
sale for Indian Med has been decidedly better, and holden
looking for a little more money. Oatmeal, Wheatmeal, and
other breadstuffs move off slowly, at previous rates. In pre-
pared and sure corn the business transacted has been
limited, and the trade altogether perfectly devoid of anima-
tion or speculative feeling, and in the few sales effected
lower terms were submitted to; several paresis of foreign

ram

Wheat changed hands for adeslature, atprioss rather under
three of last week ; a few cargoes of black Oats la our porn
were mold at 3d. nada our quotations. At our Corn Ex.

Laminae, Nov. 18.-The weather is exosedingly cold and
wet, with high winds, most unfavourable for Wheat sowing,
which provisoes but slowly. Large deliveries of all grata
tram the farmer meet ready sale, at improving prier. At
this day's market Wheat was la good demand, and prime
samples eagerly purebred by miller at higher figures. Bar-
i lag mimes m freely, and is firm. The guantsty of Oats. poured

s deify is greeter than for many years past but as there is

WATBILVORD, Nov. 18.-The supplies of home grown
grain to our mark. t this week have been again small, but
the arrivals from abroad, both of Wheat and Indian Corn,
are to a fair extent. influenced by the continued depression
of the general trade, our market hs been in a very lifeless
state, and sales almost impracticable, except at considerably
reduced rates. This morning few samples of any kind of
grain have been brought to market, but with little disport
then to purchase. Wheat must be noted lower by 6i. per
barrel. Inferior Barley, though in Ism supply than of late,
is still pressed at irregular prices; but the few lots of malting
which appear bring full rates. Oats are only saleable at a
redaction of 3d. to 44. per barrel. Indian Corn has
attracted scarcely any attention, either on the spot or
silent, but no change can be noted in its value.
Flour sells rather more fr. sly, at the priors current
in the early part of the week. At the close of the day,
an active inquiry for floating cargoes of Maize wu expe-
rienced. The following are the present prices of greM:
Undried, now Wheat, millers', per 20 st., '27s. 6d. to 29e. ;

Dunne, Nov. 11.-We have now to report a very en-
toward and unprecedented occurrence, wLicli exercises fir
the moment considerable influence on our trade. For the!
last eight days business has been entirely suspended. The,
(sawyers a body of at least 1,000 men), having struck work,
insist on tar hialier wages than have been usual for many
yews, and which the timber merchant', in the present state ,
of the trade, cannot give without incurring loss. Not content
this demonstration, they intimidate the porters in the!
granaries, and fraternise with the discontented journeymen
in the various trades. All overtures, representations, and
eves concretions have failed to induce the labouring claw 11
to return to their work. There is little doubt, from the
singular demo of method observed in their proceedings, '
that other parties, in whose hands they are comparatively
revive' are the contrivers of these demonstrations, and that
the ,oculist, propaganda Had here; a fitting field for try dog
to put their visionary doctrines into practice. We have
therefore been entirely paralysed in oar operations, not •
single hand being at our disposal, for turning, cleaning, or
measuring the Wheat as it omen In fact, reply 90 lasts of
new Wheat have been sold on Wednesday end Thursday, at
fully former prices. Itigh-mixed,6llb. to 621 b , 465. to 475. ;
and very iine,l62lb., as high as 50s. A small vessel has been
chartered for Gloucester, at fa. • and • 1,200 qr. one, for
Newcastle, at 49. The weather ass fine as possible.

POTATOES.—SOUTIIWARK, WATERSIDE, Nov. 20.
The arrivals the past week have been quite equel to the de-
mand. Many of the Scotch arrive in had condition, and

WOOL—DrEnrooL.—There has been len bug-
nen done in foreign Wool this week, hut the market keeps
steady, and, should the public sales now taking place in lon-
don go off well, it will give more confidence to the trade. In
Scotch, a moderate business is reported, but the market has
rather a heavy aspect. Imports for the week ending Novem-

CATTLE, Sec.—SmiTurizt,o, Two o'clock.—We
have a good supply of Beets to-day, and the demand is still
small, owing to tLe state of the dead markets. The choicest
qualities, however, were more cheerfully purchased, and a
prime Scot made 4 . di., but other descriptions cannot be
quoted dearer. The number of Sheep is smaller ; there are,
however, so very.few wanted, that it is difficult to maintain
last Monday's pnces. Although the number of Calves is but
small, trade is slow, and higher prices cannot, on an average,
be quoted higher. From Holland and Germany we have
212 Beasts, 080 Sheep, and 10 Calves; from Spain, 10
Beasts ; Denmark, 131 ; Ireland, 200; Leicester and Nrth-
