EDINBURGH, May 31.—We had again but a moan supply
of Wheat from the growers at market this morning; but it _
proved eq i.I to the ilemswl, and some difficulty was
experienced in eflecting a clearance at last week's rates;
foreign al.* ruled du,l, and on the little business done,
previous priers were fierily maintained. Baler, though
scarce, sold slawly, with the turn in favour of the buyer.

April and May alone, nearly eight inches drain fell,—a circurecance

WOOL.—BRADFORD, June I.—The absence of
business, during the turmoil of the week, has not only
affected the consumption but also the purchase of all kinds
of combing Wools, which have been very dull. There is no
material increase of stocks or alteration in prices. Noll*

Monday's prices are well maintained, but no cootable ad-
vance is observable. Sly ep and Lambs are snore plentiful ;
the former are, however, readily sold at fully, and in some in-
stances rather over, Monday's rates. The latter came to m.urket
in very bad condition, consequently the best kinds are not
much lower; but inferior met with a slow trade, at less
money. The number of Calves is large, and the demand
small, at 2il per Sibs. reduction. The trade is more active
for Pigs. From Holland there are about 140 Beasts, 840
Sheep, and 260 Calves, and 132 milch Cows from the Home
Counties.

CROWLE, May 29.—This annual fair was held to-day,
when tht re was a large show of cattle ; the demand early
in the morning was brick, but at no advance in prices; to-
wards the lath r part of the fair it became sluggish, and
might be bought for less money. There was only a small
show of Hones, generally of a meagre description, and but
little doing.

LI% Eit POOL, May 29.—We have bad a much larger mar-
ket thin day than last week, with but little increase in the
demand, consequently prices have declined about Id. per 10.
Our quotations are : Beef, b.id. to Gid. Mutton, dipped, 71d.
Lamb, 711. per ►b. We had 1,751 Beasts and 8,874 Sheep,
and at the close of the market a few of each remained unsold.

NEIVAIiK, May 30.—Thc tat stock market has been much
better supplied with fat meat than for some time, especially
Mutton, which met a heavy sale at id. per lb. less, and Beef
6d. per stone lower. Beef, from 7a. to 7s. 6d. per stone.
Mutton, 6d. to bbd. per lb.

ROTHERHAM, May 29.—We had a fair supply, both of
Brats and Sheep, of an excellent quality. The attendance
of buyers from Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, and
Derby being numerous (an,' who bought freely), caused a
brisk sale in both trades, and all sold up at fully last week's
rites. Beef, Gs. W. to 7s. 3d. per stone. Mution, Gd. to
Gld. per lb.
SHEFEIELD, M►y 30.—We had several hones on offer, but
we cannot say much for the quality of them. The supply of
beasts was only small, but they were all sold up by the close
of the market. Mulch Cows rather shoe: supply, and good
prices obtained. Calves an average supply. Of Pigs we
had a moderate quantity on offer, but the business done was
only trifling, the prices remaining very high.

ber of buyers attended, a few of both Beasts and Sheep re-
mained unsold.
NENAGN PAUL—This fair was well attended. There was
a moderate show of heasy Cattle, which were in good de-.
mend ; some Heifers fetched 121.; inferior Cattle were plenty,
and sold low, at from 31. to 31. There was a good demand
for Milch Cows, of which the supply was small ; the price of
this class ranged from 121. to 141. There were several year-
ling Calves purchased. Of Sheep there was a large supply,
and prices low ; Wethers from 38s. to 40•; Ewes and Lambs
low, but in brisk demand. Buyers of fat Pigs were shy, and
several remained untold ; slips were purchased at extremely
high prices. This fair, although the stock was more nu-
merous than select, was better supplied, and the buying
brisker than at the preceding one.
EDINBI:RGII, May 31.—We had. rather a small supply of
Sheep in the market this morning in comparison to last week.
