:NEWCASTLE COaN MARKET.—Aug. 4.

We had -a
moderate supply of Wheat at Market to-day from
the interior, but large coasting arrivals, which met a fair demand
at an advance of Is. per quarter on the rates of last Sa!urday.
There was very little Barley offering, and prices again ruled higher.
Oats were in fair supply from the farmers, which, a,lded to the
late large arrivals from the coast, caused the sale to prove
dull, and last week's rates scarcely supported. For Malt we have had
more inquiry, and choice samples exceeded our quotations. Rye also
sold on rather better terms. In Beans and Peas we can note no alters.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Auo. 4.

- Since our last report the weather with little exception has been
Showery, and though it may not have -proved seriously injurious to the
growing crops, has retarded their progress towards maturity. This in
the present reduced state of stocks throughout the kingdom is of the
greatest consequence, and taken in connection with unfavourable reports
as to the condition of the growing crop of Wheat in various parts of
England. and very limited supplies from most quarters, has produced a
degree of excitement in this and the neighbouring Markets during the
week, that has rat ely b: en exceeded, and which it will be seen has quite
outstripped the ca'culations of the most experienced members of the
trade. Though free Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, have been in steady re-
quest during the week at advancing prices, the principal inquiries have
been made for Wheat and Flour in bond, numerous buyers of which,
have appeared from the interior of the country, and their operations, to
gether with those of the Lancashire aad Yorkshire buyers, have been on
the most extensive scale. The consequence has been a daily improvement
in their value, which is to-day, Is. to Is. 6J. per bushel, and 2s. to 3s.
per barrel more than on Saturday last. With the exception of Beans,
for which there has been a little inquiry, other articles under lock have
have not yet excited much attention. In the agricultural districts the
exhaustion of stocks has this week become most suddenly and remarkably
apparent, and with respect to the reports to which we have above alluded,
though they ought at all times be received with much care and caution,
the general tenor of the received advices tends to the belief that the
Wheat crop, especially in the Midland and Western counties, is in a very
critical state, and that unless fine weather set in immediately and con
time for some time serious consequences will be the result. All other
kinds of grain, with the exception of Beans, promises to be abundant.
The arrivals at Liverpool and Wakefie'd have fallen off all at once, and
their amount is comparatively trifling. At both these Markets yesterday,
a heavy business was done in all articles at high prices. There was a
good attendance of buyers at this day's Market. Fine Wheats were in
request, at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per bushel. Fresh Flour was very
scarce, and sold readily at an improvement of fully 3s. per sack. Oats
are 3d. per bushel higher, with a good enquiry. Though there is not a
great demacd for Oatmeal, for immediate consumption, it is sought for as
an object for speculation, and sales have been made at 2s, to 3s. per load
more than on this day week. Beans were 2s. per quarter dearer, with
a fair extent of sale. Malt does not partake of the general improve-
ment, but is held with considerable firmness, and the aspect of matters
indicates that nothing but early and continual fine weather can prevent
a further adva:4ce in the prices of grain and flour.
