qr. on the rates of last week. Barley and oats each la,
per 41r. dearer. Beans and peas ready male at ths. per qr.
over last week's prices.

READING, JAN. s.—As may naturally be expected, the
severity of the weather caused both a small attendance and
short supply at our market to-day. The trains all being
late, it was much after the usual time when business really
commenced. Holders were firm in their demands for an
increase in the prices, but a reluctance was shown
by purchasers to accede to any advance. Those who
were in immediate want were compelled to give in some
instances Is., and in others 2s. per quarter more both for
wheat and barley. There was not much inquiry for other
kinds of cereals, and there was no perceptible change in the
quotations.
ROCHESTER, JAN. s.—Fair supplies of wheat were
brought forward at this corn exchange, at which there was
about an average attendance of the town and country
trade. There was a rather brisk demand experienced for
all superior lots of both white and red wheats, and all
extra fine parcels were done at about Is. per qr. higher
rates, operations being confined chiefly to best lots. The
present quotations for best white wheat are 655. to 695. ;
secondary, 625. to 655. ; and damp and inferior, 58e. to
625. per qr.; beat red wheat, 60a. to 635. ; secondary, VA,
to flOs. ; and damp and inferior, 50s. to 56a. per qr.
Only • small show of foreign wheat was at
market, and with only a moderate demand best
kinds brought rather higher rates. Little was
done in flour, there being still large stocks on
hand ; for extrai fine sorts fully late quotations were
obtained, while a few of the best kinds were quoted at
about gd. per sack higher rates. Barley experienced a
rather better inquiry, and fine samples, chiefly for malting
purposes, were very firm • for best kinds the terms are
46e. to 505.; and secondary 40e. to 465. per qr.; best
grinding barley, 345. to ,;
and other lots, 325. to 345.
per qr. Superior old oats are more inquired after, and
were the turn dearer; for best lots the terms are 26a. to
30a., and others 20a. to 265. per qr. Beans and peas about
the same as before, with the demand chiefly in retail. The
weather has been exceedingly severe, but indications are
not wanting that the frost is about to break up.
WISBECII, Jim 5. —We have a good supply of wheat at
market to-day, which met an active demand at an advance
of Is. to 2s. per qr. More inquiry for spring cam of all
descriptions, and late rates in all cases exceeded. Prices
to the grower:—Wheat, white, 645. to 675., 63113 e. per
bushel; ditto, red, 634. to 65a. Oats, Is. 00. to la. ld.
per stone.

Woacarrea, Van. s.—At this day's market there was
• fair supply of wheat from the farmers, which sold
readily at an advance of fully 2a. per qr., whilst foreign
was no dearer. Barley unaltered. Oats held for some
advance. Beans and peas Is. per qr. lower.
YORK, JAN. s.—The show of wheat at our corn market
today was about an average for the time of the year.
Buyers operated steadily at la. to 3. per qr. more money.
NV bite aorta ranged from 56e. to 625. ; red, 50s. to 5146.
per 36 stone. We had • moderate supply of barley, for
which a steady demand took place. All good qualities
were Is. per qr. dearer than heretofore ; for secondary lots
prices were firm. Malting, 365. to 40s. per qr. ; grinding,
325. to 345. par 30 stone. There was a seasonable show of
oats, which were taken off at little or no alteration from
previous rates ; new, 225. to 26e. per 24 stone. The de.
mend for beans was far from being brisk, but the best
sorts maintained their value ; fine, 545. to 565. ; other
kinds, 48e. to 525. per 38 stone. Malt, Otis. to 70s. ltye,
345. per qr. Flour, 45e. to 475. per sack of 280Ibs.
WATERrOItD, JAN. s.—We are without any 1174•1111 to
report foreign or coastwise, and of home-growth supplies
have been very limited. As we anticipated in our last
circular the trade herebas undergone • decided improve.
meat ; the demand for all descriptions of grain is now on
• pretty free scale, and any changes we have to-day
to make on our former quotations are in favour of
sellers. Wheat—For the beat varieties of foreign there is
an extensive inquiry, and full rates are readily paid.
Irish rather better. Barley is well bought up, grinding at
la. per barrel improvement. In black oats • few tremolo.
tions have taken place at slightly more money. Indian
corn is again moving steadidy into consumption. An ad.
vance since this day ae'nnight of about 2s. per barrel is
required, but holders do not press sales even at present
enhanced rates. Flour unaltered. Imports this week :
Flour, 20 sacks. Exports this week :—Oats, 1,379 ; titer,
246 ; oatmeal, 54 sac.

ACCIDENT AT THE STANDARD THEATRE. —OR
Saturday, in consequence of the weight of the snow resting
on the top of the circus on the site of the Standard
Theatre, the central pole broke in two and the whole
structure came to the ground with a terrible crash, but no
one was injured.
COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
—A collision occurred on this railway early on Saturday
morning last between two Manchester express goods trains.
It appears that the first express goods left Grantham
about 2.30 a.m., and proceeded as far as Newark, at which
place
it stopped for the engine to take water, although it
was unusual for it to do so at Newark. The second
express followed at an interval of ten minutes, and the
driver, whose name is Hull, was warned of the immediate
precedence of the first express goods; he however overtook it
and dashed into the rear of the train, smaahing and over-
turning the trucks, and completely blocking both lines.
Breakdown gangs were immediately telegraphed for from
Peterborough and Grantham, and under the superintend.
ence of Mr. Horuby one line was speedily cleared. The
officials were, however, compelled to work tingle line the
greater part of the day, thereby delaying the up-trains
very considerably. Beyond a severe shaking both guards
and drivers escaped unhurt.

THE RAILWAYS AT BRADPORD.—The Midland
Company have repaired the viaduct at Apperley, which
was swept away in the late flood, by means of heavy iron
girders, and the communication to Leeds and the south
is now made complete. The Great Northern Company,
until now, have been at a disadvantage in having their sta-
tion too far from the town of Bradford, and have just
constructed a curve branch of nearly a mile, by which
they are enabled for the first time to-day (Monday) to run
trains in and out of the Lancashire and Yorkshire station.
in the very centre of the town. All the lines have recently
added very largely to their goods traffic accommodation.
LIVERPOOL, THE EAST PORTS, AND THE TRAN,IT
TRADR—On Saturday the Liverpool Customs authorities
published some interesting statistics relative to the in-
creasing trade, under customs regulations, of the transit
trade between Hull, Goole, West Hartlepool, and Grimsby
and Liverpool, showing an increase as compared with NI-,
of 608,8011., the relative figures being 1,776,8021. in 188
as compared with 1,169,8981. in 1865. The merchants'
value of goods forwarded from Hull in 1865 to be exported
from Liverpool was 1,029,8241. as compared with 1,:15, ,40.
in the present year.
FENIANISM IN IRELAND —Dt•RLIN, S tTURDAY
NU:HT.—Thomas Kavanagh, at whose house in Westroad
a quantity of arms and ammunition was recently found,
was brought up on remand to-day, and committed by the
magistrate for trial. At the commission some important
documents, addressed to prisoner from the Wexford.road
branch of the /riot People newspaper, were discovered con-
cealed in the arm-cases found in the house. The trial of
Private O'Brien, of the Bth Regiment, by general court-
martial, at the Royal Barracks, commenced to-day. He
is charged with desertion, re-enlisting under a false
name, and with Fenianism. He pleaded guilty to the
two first charges. He was not defended by any legal
gentleman. Colonel Fielding acted as prosecutor, and
observed in his statement that although there might he a
difficulty in proving the prisoner took the Fenian oath,
it would be proved he induced others to take it. Trial not
concluded.

Sr. ANDREW:4' DAY IN BOMBAT.—Sb, Andrew's
Day was celebrated by the Scotch residents in Bombay by
a public banquet. Upwards of MO gentlemen were re-
gent. The dinner seems to have been a great success,
although not honoured by the presence of the governor, as
had been anticipated ; but the commander•in-e.hief was
present, and his manner of bearing on this his first public
appearance in Bombay would appear to have created 3
favourable impression.
