There was a fall of heavy ;sin both on Saturday and
Sunday, accompanied with stroog gales and squalls of wind
from the westward and north-westward. To-day it is still

eal were improved—the latter, but per land carriage parti-
cularly, short. Barley and malt limited. Oats,
beans, and peas short. Scotch oats and barley,
several parcels arrived at the close of the week.
Irish oats, only one parcel. The foreign=

and another cargo of Californian and a large parcel front
ban Francisco.

Barley short from Coristactioople, Black Sea, hamburg,
and a little from the Baltic.

Friday, nearly the whole of the
supply being from Sweden and Denmark.
Naas, peas, linseed, and rapeseed offer a very short sup-
ply, but several small puns! of lam reported.

improved, and fur selected samples lc to 2s. more mosey
