THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT RISCA.

quarter. There was a fair quantity of foreign brought to
market, and previous rates were well supported ; gaol I,lllli •
plea were fetching rather more money. The demand for
barley has fallen off considerably, and there was only a Mo.
dente show. Scarcely auy lots of either malting or griuil•
ing changed hands. Oats moved off slowly, and ware
slightly easier to purchase. Beans and peas were both a
trifle cheaper. The price of flour in this district has under-
gone no material change.

WUIBICH, Dec. B.—A fair supply of wheat at market
to-day, and 2s. per qr. dearer for all eons. A moderate
supply of oats, and former prices given. Barley and other
articles as last week. Prices to the grower:—Wheat, white,
new, 475. to 605., 6.41 be. per bushel; red, 455. to 565.,
63Ibe. ; oats, new, 10d. to Is. (M. per stone.
WORCZBIII, Dee. B.—There was a fair supply of wheat
and all dry qualities were Is. per qr. dearer. Barley about
the same. Oats in fair request at previous rates. Bums
firmly held for quite as much money. Peas unaltered.
YORE, Dec. B.—The attendance was tolerably good, and
the show of wheat was about no average for the time of the
year. The quality and cundition of the sampler were very
varied, and tine-oonuitioned aorta were ls. to 2s. dearer ; in
other kinds there was very little alteration. White aorta
changed hands at 645. to 68.. ; red, 58s. to 635. per 36 stone.
The inquiry for barley was fair, and the show being scarcely
sufficient to meet the demand, the extreme rates of Lot
week were readily obtained for all good aorta. Malting,
Nie. to 42a. per quarter ; grinding, 325. to 34.. per 30 atom...
In oats no important change took place, the demand being
slow. Old, 265. to 295. ; new, 245. to 26e. r 24 atone.
For beans (which were not an average show-)pe the demand
proved good, at late quotations. Old, 50s. to 565. ; new,
48s. to 50s. per 38 stone. Malt, 70e. to 725. ; rye, 375. per
quarter ; flour, 475. to 49a. per 20 stone.

KIRKCALDY, Dec. B.—At our country markets, this week,
trade was very slow during the early part of it, and lower
prices for every kind of pain accepted : but towards the
close a better tone prevailed, and occasionally higher prices
were paid for both wheat and barley. Here, to-day, we
had lessened supplies of barley and cats, and very small of
wheat. Sales ready, and prices generally about ls. per qr.
higher. Wheat, 345. to 56e. per qr. ; barley, 30s. to 41s. ;
oats, 21s. to 28s. 6d.
Waneroac, Dec. B.—We have had limited supplies of
grain from farmers this week ; the receipts by boat hare
also been very trifling, and from abroad only one cargo of
wheat has come to hand. The trade has exhibited more
firmness than of late, and for most articles we have experi-
enced a good inquiry. Irish wheat has sold readily, best
samples of red bringing an advance of fal. per barrel. For
foreign of prime quality there has been an improved de.
mind, at about 3d. per barrel below last flatur&y's rate,.
Barley has realised full prices, and oats have found buyers
at an advance of WI. to 3d. per barrel. There has been a
large sale for Indian corn, at previous currencies, and holders
are now looking fora trifling advance. Flour firm, but not
dearer. Imports this week :—Wheat, 1,400 gra ; floor, 60
sacks. Exports this week :—Wheat, 50 barrels ; barley,
360; oats, 7,040; flour, 1,111 seeks; Indian meal, 40 sacks.
