BEDFORD, Jan. 1.-The value of Wheat eeeeded about ls
since last market day, with the trade very dull. A plentiful
supply of Barley, and prices went fully 2s. lower. Other
articles were dull at last week's rates. Wheat, 30s. to 335.

BOSTON, Jan. 1.-Ever since last market day we have had
continuous rain and snow, so that very little Corn came to-1
day for sale. So very little Wheat is good condition, that
millers were anxious buyers, and the trade generally ad a
more firm appearance, without advance in prices of anything.

625. ; tine, 545. to 665. Oat 4, 164. to 21s. Beans, 3Cie. to 38s.

CARLISLE, Dec. 31.-There was a small supply. of grain 1

CHEL?46PORO, Dec. 31.-There was a smaller supply of
Wheat at market this day ; but, the condition being much
affected by the weather, the prices of last week only were

Coheuraraß, Jan. 1.-The supply of Wheat continues
fair. Millers, having plenty of water and a good sale for
Flour, are free buyers at full prices ; but little has been done
for export. Barley is in better suely, but, owing to the
Tarn in the Malt trade, it sells slowly, at a reduction of Is. to
2s. per qr. from this day fortnight. Beans are in short so
ply, and prices tend upwards. Wheat, red, 591 b. to 6016.

36e. ; ticks, 641 b. to 6916., 38s. to 39a., free on board.
GEovcsarea, Jan. 1.-During the week there has been
a good supply of English Wheat, which ruled dull, at last
week's prices. For foreign, of fine quality, there has been
a steady demand, at former rates ; whilst inferior samples
are neglected, and prices remain nominal. Malting Barley
in good t•upply. and met a ready sale, at Is. per qr. decline.
In Beans and Oats ,but little doing at our quotations. At
our market this day, English Wheat was held very firmly ;
but buyers did not pay any advance. For foreign there was
a fair inquiry, but the scarcity of good qualities checked
business. Malting Barley, Beans, and Oats, remain
as noted below ; grinding Barley scarce. Present priori :

Niewratertn-ox-Tres, Dec. 31. -At our market this
morning we had a good supply of Wheat from the Country,
but the condition, although somewhat improved, being still
moderate, the trade ruled slow, but late rates were fully sus-
tained, whilst the business done in foreign was to a fair ex-
tent, at rather exceeding the rates of this day se'nnight,
South Couatry qualities, at the same time, commanding
a fair sale upon like term'. For Flour there was a steady
though not brisk inquiry, heuaeholds being saleable at 395.
to 405., extra up to 415., whilst the value of whites may be
stated from 411. to 435. according to quality. Rye sweltered.
Malting as well as Grinding Barley quite ea dear ; but Malt
is the turn cheaper, with rather less demand. In Beans
and Peas we can scarcely quote any change, if any-
thing the latter article is held somewhat more firmly.
With Oats we were well supplied, and a fair clearance)
was effected at about the rates of this day se'nnight

lower. Oats, Beane, and Peas no alteration in value.
Wheat, from 50s. to 630. Barley, 265. to 30s. Oats, 235. to
26e. Beans, 445. to 455.
Nonwicu, Jan. 1.-Our market was well supplied with
Wheat to-day from the growers, exceeding the demand ;
and, notwithstanding the leading markets assume a firm ap-
pearance, prices aro inclined to give way a little.
Merchants also offer at rather less money, without effect-
ing sales to any considerable extent. The condition of the
late-thrashed is very inferior, chiefly owing to the prevalent
damp weather, and scarcely a sample to be found up to 631ba,
per bushel. Flour was in fair request at late rates, and
several lots changed hands. The quantity of Barley offering
was large, sad prices barely supported our late quotations.
Oats, l'esus, and Beans the turn cheaper. Price current :
Wheat white, 6211 w., 545. to 581. ; red, 50s. to 545. Barley,
malting, 275. to 315.; grinding, 265. to Vs. Oats, 245. to

claiming one month's discount ; retail, 2s. Id. per stone.
NOTTINGHAM, Jan. 1.-We have a full show of Wheat
in our market to-day, and also a good demand, at fully the
rates of teat week; and for the finest samples a slight ad-
vance is obtained. The lower descriptions may be quoted
shwa the same. The demand for Barley keeps up to the sup
ply, and the prices nominally the same, with little or no
alteration in other articles. White Wheat, 60s. to 625.;
red, 575, to 605. Barley, 33e. to 375. Feed Oats, 225. to
2is. ; menling, 265. to 28s. Beane, 48s. ; old, 565. to 58s.
PETEREDROUOH, Jan. 1.-We have a good supply of all
grain to this, day's market. Fine dry Wheat is in de-
mand, and makes Is. per qr. more than last week, with a
better demand than of late fir secondary sorts. Barley Is.
to 2e. cheaper. Oats rather dearer. No change in the value
of Beans. Currency to the growers: Wheat, new, 445. to

dull, at a decline of Is. to 2s. per qr. In other grain but
little passing. Wheat, white, per load, 131. to 131. 16s. ;
red, 121. 102. to 131. Barley, malting, 32+. to 33e. ; triad-
ing, 285. to 30s. Oats, 21s. to 235. Peas, 425. to 445. Beau,
425. to 4.55.
READING, Jan. 1.-We had a large supply of Wheat to-
day, and selected dry qualities commanded a ready sale at
last week's prices, but damp and inferior descriptions (of
which the supply principally consisted) were a heavy sale, at
2s. to 3s. per qr. less money. The supply of Barley was
large, and of inferior quality, and although offered at Is. to
2s. per qr. reduction, much remained unsold. Oats, Peas,
and Beans dull, without alteration in value.
SAFFRON WALDEN, Jan. 1.-Our Wheat market without
any alteration since last week. Barley on the advance, and
fully Is. per qr. dearer. In Oats, Peas, and Beans no
alteration.
SUNDERLAND, Dcc. 31.-The supply of Wheat from the
farmers to day was rather large, and during the week there
have been some arrivals coastwise, besides 550 'sacks of Flour.
The demand for Wheat was pretty good, but prices were
lower, fully 2.. per quarter. The best Wheat realised 60s. to
685.; good average parcels, 565. to 68e. ; and inferior samples,
50s. to 645. Malang Barley is in request, at Ma to 351,. ;
and name considerable transactions in Oats have taken place,

American, per barrel, 283. to 30.. ; and Indian Meal, which
is in good demand, 16e. to 17s.
WARMINSTER, Jan. 1.-The prices of last week were
given for all Wheat fit for erinding, but damp samples were
not so saleable, though offered at a decline of Is. per wick.
Barley sold at a decline of Is. per qr. ; fine malting, 345. to
3.55. ; good, 325.; grinding, weighing 10 score 121bs. 30s.
Oats, fine Polands, made 28s. per qr. • good feed, 2.5 e. to
25e. ; common, 21s. to 225. ; trade rather dull. Beans were
Is. per qr. cheaper; heavy old, 275. to 28s. per sack; new,
TN. to 245. Peas, white, in good request, at last week's
prices; maple and grs y rather cheaper.
WINCHESTER, Jan. 1.-In Wheat a fair amount of bull-

given for white ; 545. for red; all other kinds, from 505. to 521.
Of Barley more on offer than usual; the highest price given
was 345. per qr., some very good selling at 325. to 335. ;

week's currency ; new, rather lower. Peaa, white boiling,
more in request, at from 445. to 46e. per qr. ; grey and maple
about the same. Oats without alteration in price.
WISRF.CH, Jan. 1.-We are flirty supplied with Wheat,
and moderately with other grain at to-day s market. Good

more request. Condition is generally improved. Oats and

BELFAST, Dee. 31.-We have had a fair supply of pain at
market during the week, and farmers' Wheat is In good
demand, at an advance of about gd. per cwt.: parcels ex-ship
or store are also in better request, at improving prices. Flour
maintains former quotations. Barley unchanged in demand or

Costa, Dec. 31.-Since our last the weather has teen
changeable, but there he, on the whole, a decided improve-
ment upon that of the last few weeks. The nights are
generally frosty, and those are usually followed by
at least one day of flee weather. As is usually
the ease during the week immediately succeeding
Christmas, the trade is dull, and exhibits an ab-
sence of that animation which characterised it last
week. For this reason we have but little to say upon
the subject this post, the business doing bring of a retail
character. The supplies of grain too are trifling, the receipts
for the week being: Wheat, 1,229 brie., at 235. to 28e, tid.
per barrel. Barley, 630 bile., at 13s. to 15.. Oats, 2,126
bels., at 10s. to Ils Bd. The quantity of Wheat offering is
small, and, the demand being equal te, the supply,
the trade riles firm. In prepared Whcat but little

doing. Prices remain unchanged. The 'slue of Barley
is fully maintained, while the supply is small.
Oats also, the receipts of which are limited, are un
changed in price. In prepared Oats wo hear of few trans-
actions. Flour, the bakers having stocked themselves largely
before Christmas, is a very dull sale. Prices remain unal-
tered. Indian Corn participates in the general dulness. The
top price of., prime Galata a nominally 91. 10a per ton, hut
we have net heard of any sales at a higher figure than 91.55.
We therefore quote this article without alteration in value
from the rates of last week. Indian Corn meal continues to
be less sought after than the raw material. Its value is un-
changed.
Listentex, Jan. I. -We have had variable weather
during the weelt-rain, frost, and this morning a very heavy
fog-the quantity of grain at market has been very mode-
rate, and prices fully maintained. At this day's market the
supply of Wheat was small ; buyers appeared anxious to pur-
chase at a small advance. Oats in brisk demand, at firm
prices. Barley eontinuet firm, awl price steady The trade
for Indian Corn has been very good, with as upward ten-
dency in price, but Indian Meal slow of sale; in other
Bread Stuffs a fair consumptive demand. Au immense
arrival of vessels, and freights considerably down. Wheat,
red, 13d. to 151 d. per stone; white, 15d. to 171 d. Oats,
91d. to 10d. Barley, I Id. to 12d. Indian Corn, 91. to
91. 51. per ton ; Meal, 91. Se. to 91. les. Whole Meal, 131.
Oatmeal, 141. Irish Flour, 32a. per bag.
NEWRY, Dec. 31.-The advance in the prices of grain is
supported to a certain extent, and in some cams bite prices
are exceeded, but st yesterday's market the country supplies
were small. We quote :-Wheat, white, I Is. to I ls. Gd. per
cwt.; red, 10s. Gd. to 10s. 93. Barley, 7s. Gd. to Bs. Oats,
101 d. per stone. Flour, Oatmeal, Indian Corn Meal, &c.,
remain stationary, with not much business doing. Flour,
first, 18s. per cwt. ; second, 16s. ; third, 14s. ; and fourth,
12s. American Flour, 31s. to 325. per barrel. Indian
Corn Meal, 9s. per cwt. Oatmeal, mea:kinc-manufactured,
remains at 12s. 6d. per cwt., and country descriptions at
1 le. 6d. to 12s. Gd., but the demands still dull.
Wavenronn Jan. 1.-With moderato supplies of grain
from the country, as well as from abroad, our market during
the week has ruled firm for every article is the trade. At
this morning's market, we have but a small show of Wheat
and Barley ; for the former an advance of Gd. to Is. per bar-
rel is readily obtained ; and for the latter, as well as Oats, last
week's rates are fully supported. Indian Corn has not been
ea much inquired for ss of late ; but as holders are not anxi-
ous to press sales, no decline in its value can be quoted.
Flour of all 'descriptions sells freely, at advancing
prices. I'resent price' of Grain, &c.: Wheat, undried,

KIRKCALDY, Jan. 1.-The weather has been very change-
' able during the week. On Friday morning we had intense
frost-at mid-day a thaw set in, and this morning we have
frost again. At our country markets this week we had very
moderate supplies of grails. Wheat and Oats fully main-
' tained late rates-the latter was even Is. per qr. higher in
some localities; Barley buyers were less anxious, and prices
receded 6d. per qr. Here to-day we had small supplies of
all kinds of grain. Wheat was a very slow sale, at a reduc.
tion of 2s. per qr. ; Barley sold tardily, at about 6d. per qr.
less than last day ; while Oats soldiquickly, at Is. per qr.
advance. Wheat, 465. to 380. per qr. ; Barley, 275. to 33a.

more in request, and several sales are reported during the
week. In Stitch there is little doing, although holders
show more desire to realise.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1844.

CATTLE, &C.—SMITHFIELD, Deo OTldet.—We
have to-day rather a large supply of Beasts, and in conse-
quence of the mild weather, the demand is not so great as it
has been. Trade is heavy still, the choicest qualites are not
much lower, 51. 2d. has been realised in seine instances.
The supply of Sheep has increased ; trade is itot so good.
Some of the best Downs make nearly an much as
'of late, but large Sheep are very little in demand,
owing to the unfavourable weather. However, almost ever 7.
thing is disposed of at a small reduction. Calvet, are still
scarce, and choice ones very dear. Friday's quotations are
well supported. Trade continues steady for Pigs. From
Holland we have 137 Beasts and 7-10 Sheep ; from Scotland,
200 Beasts, and Spain, 92.
