dant is the father. I met him first la November, 1868, at the

quarterly ineettop of the ireninaetors of this district will
ecinamence at Wolverhampton neat Wednesday ; but it is too
early in the year to anticipate the transac of much business
thereat. In the meantime, the trade is healthy, though quiet,
and anything *God me ordinary impulse would lead to a
rime upon the prise of lien as areeefirmed at the preliminary
roestlott of the troth last week. There are • fah. quantity of
orders in fora ll descriptions of finished iron, sufficient to keep
the works from standing. In this town Wetness is being
gradually rammed. There is not much animation at present ;
bat maathossren, hathig concluded the bushiest of stock-
taking, are going wiesdily oo upon order*, of which there are
sofficiset in head to prevent stocks being added to.
Upon the whole the tiristmas holidays hays been
of shorter duridoii than usual ; the men hays
not been &Med to work shorter time than they wished, and
In a week or tom days the home trade will recommence as
usual, with very good preepects. The manufacturers of this
town have had a pretty good year in 1869; not large returns,
but fewer lows, trade having then subject to less vicissitudes
from the absence of epeoulation, and both in the town and
district labour has fully participated in that general pros-
perity which la so apparent to all who were uainted with
trade hereabouts, and those moot • y connected
with it even within the lath dozen years.

Barley was in more moderate supply, perttoularty es regards

Norruronms, JAN. 2.—Wheat wee only in moderate
supply at our imam to-day, end then wee a limited attead-
once of farmers and !autos. The trade ruled miles at the

P3ADIII4I, hit. 7.—Onr market wee shortly supplied
with wheat this morning, end the attendance ass also
mare. Wheat generally et ill comes to hand in poor con•
dittos'. Best dry samples are inquired for, and maintain late
ran, but other acre were a dull trade, ►t a slight decline,
in some Matra, of about Is. The trade proceeded rather
dull, although the favoureble change in tee weather gives in-
creased confidence. Malting barley is in short supply, and
the demand la brisk at high rates. Other sorts were a slow
nude. Oats, beans, and pees sihibited a downward ten-
dency. Wheat, Us. to 62a. ; barley, 30a. to 45e. ; oats, 20e.
to 30e.; beaus, 42.. to 60a.; peas, See. to 445. Flour:—
Household, 395., ; seconds, 36a. par rck.
Rommermt, Jett. 7.—A rather moderate show of earn
and a good attendanoe of the trade, but an absence of
anything like speculation. Prime petunia of wheat met with
a slow -sale at fully last week's ratsa, but all other kinds
were almost turaleable mu at a reduction of ls. per quarter,
Best white sold at from 46e. to 605., and other kinds at 42e.
to 46e. There was very Little red in the market ; the quo-
tation. of beat kinds wen 445. to 47e., and other am* 38s.
to 435. ; the market generally being about Is. under
last week. Foreign wheat was rather firmer, and prime
samples could be sold at Moat last market's prices, but there
appeared to be hide pawing in that droll ion. There was
swercely supihisg doing in barley, this deseeiptloa of grain
being mum a 6 ct.d by Ma wet weather. Fine qualities for
mitts; pursuers were fully as deer, ►ut grinding sorts were
serer to portrait, lafuier kinds being about 1.. In farm
of the buyer. There area a doll trade In ore, and ab• Wes
bee declined fully Is. pow quarter. Beans appear to Lave

beim sect atketed by the weather, sad theme, ea well lig
pre, were tbe tams cheap t%

*IIIIIECH. JAIC 7.—We ale fairly aupplied with grain et
as• wads at udo om'e market. The brat dry wheat sells
many at tut weak', pi ices, whilst tar the raw mistier sats-
pies the trade was dull at Wanly forme Meer Owl, pews,

Tenn, Jan. 7.—At to.day's corn market the supply 0(
wheat was more plantilal than of lam. aud the toads ruled
slow at lively late rates. White dascriptioste made 46.. to
61a.; red, 47.4. to NU. per 36 stone. Of balder Were was ■
tolerable supply, but there was a scarcity of &Woe panels,
and all sub met a steady inquiry, at axtrases prima, Sao. to
40a.

per 30 ideas. No important onsngs tookplase in oats, simples
changing hands at 225. to 265. per 24 woos. In some in-
stomas bees were a shade cheaper, prices ranging from 44e,
t 0.485. p.r $8 stone; -malt, 68a. to 70s. ; rye, us. per qr.
KIJULOALDY, JAIf. 7.—During the early pert of the week
in had ratay weather, which following the host, and rte it
was entirely out of the ground, made the land very wet
Indeed. flume Wednesday it has beset dry, and latterly
frosty again, with a rising barometer. At our country
markets this week we had good supplies of wheat, which
met a madam: e demand at nearly law week's prices ; second
quaky was Is. per tiii...pbaiewder. Of barley the supply seems
to him suddenly co not even a fourth of the tonal
goamtity being offered ; ana the same may be said of cede.
Whether this arises from the peculiar weather, or from a
real exhaustion of stock, time mum determine. Here, to.
day, we had moderate supplies of wheat and oats, bat very
small of barley. Belss ready, at prices generally in favour
of sellers. W heat, 40s. to 60s. per qt.; barley, 295. to 395. ;
oats, 20a. to 28e. 6d.
WATII&FORD, JAN. 7.—We cannot note any increase in
our supplies of farmers' grain this week, but Mere has been
rather more offering by boat. From abroad our arrivals
resist of only two corneae Indian corn. The trade has
shown vary little activity since the date of our last, and
though the quantity of fanners' wheat brought to market
has been very small, prices bare given way Ltd. to 6d. per
barrel Foreign maintains late rates, and sells more freely.
Barley centinues in good request, at the quotations of this
day seaseigbt; kest, oats can be purchased at 3d. to 4d. per
barrel has money. We bars had more inquiry for Indian
corn, and buyers can hardly operate on such, favourable
terms as at the claw of last week. Flour firm, without
change in value. Imports this week :—Wheat, 4,640 qrs.
Rxporta this weak :—Oats, 3,830 barrels. Flour, 979 sacks.
Oatmeal, 60 sacks.
