beans, and pees also maintained their prices.

EOCHISTEN., JAN. 2.—The weather ()continues all that an
be desired for farming operations, which are now being
pushed forward with cionsiderable energy. The bug-con-
tinned dry weather has rendered the ground very friable, and
the farmers have taken advantage of this, sad are now busily
engaged in preparing the land fur sowing the Lent corn.
The young wheats look very luxuriant, but it is feared that
they will sustain a severe check by the frosts which may now
be expected. The corn trade in this locality has assumed a
Amer tone, and the males reported were at fully last week's
rates, with more disposition =the part of millers and dealers
to operate. Our Corn Exchange was but moderately supplied
with wheat, farmers, se is usual at this time of the year,
being unwilling to force their samples on the market. For
some really excellent samples about Is. more money wee
obtained; foreign was firm at former quotations. Barley was
on the decline, and none bat really first-rate parcels of malting
met with any attention. Oats were slightly cheaper, but the
sale was dull. Beans and peas slightly ender. The follow-
ing are our quotations : White wheat, 60s. to 625. ; extra,
645. ; red wheat, 465. to 48a.; extra, 60e. ; malting barley,
365. to 40s. ; grinding barley, 30s. to 34a. ; oats, 225. to 26e.;
baits, 425. to 44e. ; peas, 40s. to 445. The various loos
markets held during the last weak have ell exhibited a firmer
tone, and prices are taking an upward tendency.

SIRICCALDT, lAN. 2.—The weather during the week has
continued of the um, unusually mild character that hu
almost continnowly prevailed since harvest, and, u may he
expected, all out-doer fuming operations are much in ad-
vance of ordinary years. At our oountry markets this week,
with very moderate quantities of grain offering, and having
a good consumptive demand, prices were higher than last
week, more particularly for fine parcels, for which ls. per
qr. advance was readily paid. Here, to-day, we had good
supplies of all kinds of grain, notwithatanding sales were
ready at prices in favour of sellers, and everything cleared off,

to Ws.

WATERFORD, AN. 2.—Oar supplies of grain from the
country continue on a very limited scale, but we have had
fair deliveries by boat the last few days. Our foreign arri-
vals are very moderate, consisting of only 2,060 quarters of
wheat for the week. We have not much change to report in
our market since the date of our last. A fair amount of bu-
siness has been transacted and generally at fuU prices. Irish
wheat has met a ready sale at our quotations, and foreign has
been taken to a considerable extent, at rates which were
hardly obtainable at the close of last week. Malting barley
has had more inquiry at prime rather against the purchaser,
but grinding sample* have been quite neglected, though
offered at a reduction of Is. per barrel. Oats, with a better
supply, have receded about 34. per barrel, and sell slowly at
the decline. We have had a steady demand for Indian oorn,
principally ex ship, at a slight reduction in price, to avoid
landing charges. Parcels in store cannot be bought lower.
Flour quiet at about late rates. Imports this week :—Wheats
2,050 qrs. Exports : —Oats, 819 brie.; flour, 292 wag.
