DONCASTER, March 25.-Fresh up this morning the Ar-
rivals of Wheat and other grain are lees than last week, but,
owing to an accumulation of stock for two or three weeks,
there was a lams show of samples in the market ; fine dry
samples were taken off at fully last week's rates ; ordinary
qualities slow sale, with very hole alteration in value. Seed
Oats sell freely at prime equal to last week; to sell quantities,
last week's prices are hardly st;pported. Beans continue
flat, aed only the dryest parcels in demand. Barley of all
descriptions 1 a dearer • there is a good demand for seed. W heat,

PRESTON, March 25.-The imports from Ireland during
the week, though not large, are more than equal to the de-
mand. Considerable apathy exists in the Corn trade gene-
rally, and in o der to effect sales a reduction in the price of
most articles has been submitted to, Wheat alone supporting
our quotations. At our Cora Exchange the 1111111i11^
there was a short sup; ly at farmers' Wheat, to: al: on.' ii-
lingness being evinced on the part of the millers and dealer:
to enter into stock beyond their immediate requirements,
prices declined in most instances 6d. per windie, and Irish
must be noted Id. to 2d. p r bushel lower. English II ;or
6d. per peck el,eaper. Brads and Peas a slow sale, at an
abatement of 6:1. per swindle and barrel respectively. Oats
and Oatmeal being in very limited request, a reduction of
Id. to 2d. per bushel on the former, and 6d. per load on the
latter, was submitted to, without leading to any business
worthy of notice. Indian Corn Is. per qr., and Indian Meal
6d. per brl. lower. The average price of Wheat this week
is 535. 6d. per imp. er.
SHREWSBURY, March 25.-This day's market was well
attended by buyers of Lent grains for seed, but other
kinds sold slowly, as foliose : Wheat, 6s. sd. to 7a. Id. Bar-
is. 3d. to 4s. ficl. Oats, 2s. 10d. to 6s.
SUNDERLAND, March 22.-A very great deal of rain fed
at the beginning of the week, but the last two days hivz
been dry, and its looks mire settled. From the tarmers
there was a good supply of grain of all aorta at market to-day,
and during tne week sue arrivals have been 650 qrs. of Bie-
-1 ley coastwise, and 500 qrs. of foreign Wheat. The demand
I fee Wheat was not brisk, and sales were made very slowly at
about last week's rates. The best Wheats may be quoted at
55e. to 575. ; good average qualities,s2s. to 538. ; and inferior
parcels, 495. to .50s. per qr. Spring Corn either better sale,

prices.

qualities made from Is. to 2e. per qr. more money ; top prices,
to 58.5. per qr. ; seconds, 50s. to 625. ; inferior, 425. to
46.. Flour as last week. Barley was rather rcarce, there-
fore Is. per qr. more money was given for the best samples ;
best Chevalier. 375. per qr.; second quality, 355. ; inferior,
325. to 33a. Malt was rather dearer. Oats sold at last
week's prim*. Beans, from 445. to 501. per qr. Peas, 425.
to 46e. Tares sold slowly at from Gs. to 7s. per Withal.
YARSIOCTEI, March 25.-Our market is slowly anpolied
with all grain, but the trade rules exceedingly dull. Wheat
is cheaper for all light and middling qualities, and for the
best late prices are not obtained. Barley is fully as dear for
the best malting, but the demand is limited. Beans and
Peas continue nearly unsaleable. Oats about the same as
last week. Wnite Wheat. 525. to 545. ' • red 4.55. to 50s
Barley, 285. to 325.; Beans, 325. to Ms. ;Peas, 33,. to 34r. ;

few days a lively demand for Wheat, at an advance of
per qr. Sevens! very fine parcels of Marks Wheat, 6251ba.

Barley is also more inquired for Jutland, 53Ibs. to 541b5.,
was sold at 19s. 6d. to 205., and is now very scarce. &eland,
53165. to 64165„ is held at 20s. 6d. to 218. ; and 541ba. to 65163.,
at 221. to 235. Seale Barley here is to be had lower. Some
sales have been made at 255. to 254. Gd., 50Iba. to 511bs„ but
less money would be taken. Fed Oats are very flat, but not
Mitred lower. Brew not in the market. home middle

Jabde, at which price there are still buyers. Peas cor.tinue
to decline. Rapeseed is fiat at our quotations. White

Ro"TocK, March 20.-Our prices of Wheat continue to
be very firmly supported ; and if it he true, as reported,
that sales have been made at 43s per qr., cost and freight,
the sellers are not likely to derive much benefit from the
operation. The probability of war, resulting from the
recent political ort urrences, rend, r holders unwilling to sell
at pr.( sent.
