AVERAGES FOR THE WEEK ENDING JAN. 31, 1854.
Wheat
Barley
Oats
Beaus
Peas

At this day's market their was a fair attendance of the
town and country trade. Wheat a slow sale at a decline
of 6d per 701 b., and 2s per barrel and sack on the prices of
this day week. Oats and oatmeal were quito neglected,
and id per 451 b. and Gd to is per load lower. Barley and
beans must be quoted 2d per 601 b. and Is per qr. lower,
with little doing. Indian corn in limited request at 50s 6d
to 51s 6d per qr.

IPSWICH—JAN. 31.
The market was cheaper to-day for wheat, and the sup-
ply middling ; but the condition was so bad that millers
would not buy it without the millers submitted to a reduc-
tion of 2s and 3s per qr. Barley may be written as having
experienced a similar decline ; and the samples appeared
to be shown about more than we have noticed for some
time past. Beans and peas maintain high prices.
