authentic sources at all the places of growth in the

quantity produced this season amounts to 12,960 tons,

produced this season, two thirds are ascertained to
consist of mildewed, shrivelled fruit. Exten-

over good mid to good 2a 4d to 2s 9d, and mid 30 to 32
over 2s 2d to 2s 3d. An increase of orders for all pur-
poses may, however, be looked for shortly. Savannah is
wanted at is 4d to is 4icl proof, and remains in small
supply. Brandy has been much in demand both for
shipping and home consumption; on the part of mer-
chants there is much confidence. The rates obtained
for Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1851

GLASGOW, OCT. 13.—A partial change of wind has
Ireland, and the supplies of wheat and barley coastwise
are to a fair extent; 4,289 barrels of flour have also
ar-
rived from Canada. During the week there has been a
good demand for wheat, and sales to some extent have
been made at an advance of 61 per boll. Flour has
also sold freely, and at better prices. Barley and beans
are very firm, but at no fresh advanc?. Having exFe-
rienced an improved demand for oats prices have latterly
advanced quite 3d per boll for new, and old aro held
with firmness at a similar advance. Oatmeal is is per
