COLCHESTER, May 13.—N0 rain has fallen here since the
20th ult. The general appearance of the young Wheats has
improved within the pas. week. B..rley requires rain—some
of it has made no appearance above ground at present.
Beans look well ; but Peas are unpromising. Farmers have
fairly supplied these markets with Wheat this week; but
much of the supply has consisted of winter-thrashed parcels,
which are cold and light, and find buyers with difficulty.
Wheats in good shipping order, weighing 611..,5. to 621ba.,
can now be done at 48.. to 495. free on bosrd. Beans and
Barley are not offered in any noticeable quantity.

Ot:o.nrottn, May 13.-We had a fair supply of Wheat
to-day, and superfine samples were in rcque,t, and without
difficulty disposed of, realising from 5Gs. to 625. The lower
qualities were very unsaleable, but we do not consider prices
any worse than last week. The quantity of B irley and
Oats far sale is trifling, the former at from 31s. to 345. Oats,
21s. to 245.

MANCHESTER, May 13. - Continued fine hot weather
restricts sales of Wheat and Flour to the requirements of
present wants; but the contrary effect is produced as re-
gards almost every other article. The trade has been steady
during the week, with • good demand for Oats, Beans, and
Indian Corn. At our market this morning, Wheat and
Flour met a slow sale, at about former rates. All other
articles in moderate request, at prices rather exceeding
the quotations of our last. Present prices: Wheat, per
bush. of 'Nibs., English, white, 7s. 6d. to Bs. ; red, 7s. to 71. 6d.
Irish white, is. 3d. to 7s. 61.; red, 7s. to 70. 3d. Barley,
per bushel of GOlbs., grinding, 3s. 6d. to 44. Oats, per bush.

Irish kiln-dried runs, 2s. 11d. to 3s. Beans, per qr. of
50 Ohs., English, small, 38s. to 395. ; Tick, 375. to Me. Peas,
per 8 imperial bushels, white, boilers, 40s. to 425. Flour,
per sack of 2801b5., English and Irish, tine, 355. to 365. ;

load of 21011i5., English and Irish, 255. 6d. to 265. 6d.
MARLBOROUGH, MILyI3.-BUSIDM was ,10,r, at a further
decline in price for Wheat. Barley unaltered. Oats, et
;crel mealing quality, were the turn dearer. Beans, 434.,
and not much doing. Peas slightly varied.
NEWCASTLE•ON•TYNB, May 13.-The weather this week
has been beautilully fine, partaking quite of the character of
summer, and our accounts from the interior represent the
country to have made a material improvement, although
there are casual complaints of the Wheat not having faltered
so well as in ordinary seasons in some localities; still, how-
ever, with a continuance of favourable weather, our pros-
pects open the whole are good for Wheat, but should the
drought he of much longer duration, spring Corn will suffer
from the land cracking and preventing its growth. The trade
during the present week has been characterised by a want of
animation, and the business done in Wheat and Flour has
generally been at rather osier rates. Spring Corn however
bas been held with more firmness, and although the buyers
have not been willing to purchase at our present quotations,
an impression is very prevalent that they will have to accede
to those terms, as the stocks here are light, with no immediate
prospect of a speedy accession being made to them. At our
market this morning we had an extremely moderate supply
of Wheat from the growers, and being without any arrivals
coastwise, and those from abroad being held more stiffly, our
farmers were enabled to establish an advance of fully. 2s. per
qr. upon their fresh-thrashed samples, whilst in foreign the
transactions were to a moderately fair extent at an enhance-
ment of Is. per qr. In the event of London coming dearer on
Monday, itis expected a good business will be done on Tuesday
at this day's improvement, as our millers are generally low in
stock. For Flour we had a steady sale, and our arrivals coast-
wise of late having been short of the regular weekly demand, a
considerable inroad has be. n made in our warehoused stocks,
which are now reduced below 1,F,00 sacks, whilst in April,
the quantity exceeded 5,000 sacks. Rye nominally the tame.
Barley in request, the best Danish commanding 315., weigh-
ing 531bs. per bushil, whilst Pomeranian, of 511b5., meets at-
tention at 30s. 6d. to 31s. per qr. Malt inquired for. Beans
and Peas rather dearer. With Oats we were sparingly sup-
plied, and they were quickly taken off at rather over last
Saturday's prices. We have no alteration to note in the duties
this week. The following are the quotations: Wheat,
British, Northumberland, new, white, 525. to 665. ; red,
