reporting larger receipts and heavier shipments, made buyers
rather more- cautious ; holders still offering very freely, but
generally do not. press Wes, prices therefore have been some-
wbat irregular for:American, and may be quoted -1-16 d per
lb: lower on the middling and better qualities, and 8d per' lb

Cram: We have a fair attendance this morning at our
market,-and a good consumers' demand for wheat at an
improvement of 2d per bushel upon the rates of Tuesday,
but this advance has, for the present, in some degree
checked purchases, though the rise reported in Lawlor:rand
Wakefield has thw effect of fully confirming the amendment

There is

,o a fat

le for flour at 6d to'
money per barrel and sack. Barley hat, advanced
1 &per bushel, and beans 6d per qr., but the sale of the
latter is less freelyinade. Prime oats are scarce, and id.ta.
id per bushel higher, and oatmeal brings 6d per load more,
but with only a moderate demand. We have a fair inquiry
for Indian corn, but with little of prime quality offeri9g,
the extent of business has been curtailed; in the transactions .
report.ed, an advance of 6d per quartrr is established..

R. MAKIN &, Som.
PROVIsION : For beef there continues an active retail
demand at steady prices. The short clearances from
America impart,firmness to tbe parka, and counteract the
effect of the dulness consequent on, the now probable peace.
The deficient supply of American pork, and the light stocks
here, have enabled the Irish curers to establish an advance
of is to 2s per barrel. There is an, excellent inquiry for
bacon, but the prevailing easterly winds keep ont the ships,
and deprive the market of the anticipated supplies. The
market for lard is tolerably firm, and the sales for the week
exceed 100 tone. The stock of cheese gets notes: into
moderate compass, and the holders-show increased firmness,
Tallow sells rather more readily, but prices do 'not improve.
Linseed cake sells slowly at last week's quotations.
