THE COUN'fRY MARKETS.
Livattroom, Aran. 21.—There was a fair attendance at
yesterday's market, but the general business was on a restricted
scale. Wheat gave way a ld to 2u per bushel on Tuesday's
price, and lour fully 6d per sack and barrel. Oats and oat-
meal, being in short supply, were held with much firmness,
and a small advance in some cases was realized. Barley, beans,
and peas all very dull. There was no change in Tuesday's quo-
tations for Indian corn, but the demand was not so lively yes-
terday. With the exception of Indian corn, in which a fair
business has been done to-day at full prices, there is scarcely
anything passing in the other articles of the trade worthy of no-
tice. and there is no change in any of the prices since Friday,
MANCHESTER, APRIL 21.—1 n the early part of the week
the trade continued to exhibit an upward tendency, and with a
good demand !or English flour, which has become rather
scarce, a further advance of Is to Is 6d per 'ack was realised.
Oatmeal was likewise in steady request at improving prii•es.
Subsequently, however, the market assumed a more languid
tone. From Ireland and our own coast the arrivals at Liver-
pool and Runcorn are light ; but, although easterly winds have
for the most part continued to prevail since our last report, the
imports of foreign produce are again to a moderately fair
amount. Our market this morning was of a quiet character,
and the enhanced rates obtainable during the week were barely
maintained. However, we raise our quotations hi to 2d per
701 b on wheat, and 2d per 451 b on oats. Sack flour was in
moderate request at is per 2801 b over the currency of this day
se'nnight, whilst American remained without change. Oat-
meal was held for an advance of Is per load.
COLCHESTER, Avatar. 21.—A stand has been made in all
the markets of the district this week by the farmers and the
holders of wheat for a considerable advance, but though the
supplies have by no means been large, the rise has heal limited
to 2s per quarter. This was tho rate of advance in our market

to-day. The best samples of white wheat fetched 54s per
quarter, which is an advance of within the last fortnight;
red was 4ls to 455. Yesterday at Chelmsford there was also
a further rise of 2s on old wheat, and Is per quarter on the in-
ferior samples of wheat. Barley was also Is dearer. In Suf-
folk the quotations of wheat have beet gradually further ad-
vancing. At Stowmarkct on Thursday purchases were made
with difficulty at a rise of 2s; and at Woodbridge the quota-
tions were quite 3s above the rates of last week. The snow
and frost this week have checked agricultural operations in the
district, nut the young crops are not injured. The fruit gar-
dens have suffered fearfully.

' WINCHESTER, APRIL 21.—Corn—Although this day the
weather was brighter, the air was so intensely keen that seve-
ral large growers of wheat expressed their fears that the frosts
of the last sev.m days and nights had seriously injured the
growing crops. This feeling, added to the fact of there being
less foreign corn imported into Southampton last week, caused
holders of every description to demand further advances, which
for wheat, oats, barley, peas, arid Indian corn were submitted
to ; the show of fine English grain was small; of prime
amiss's!, Stettin, Pomeranian, Odessa, and Hamburgh, but a
moderate supply, nearly every sample fit for immediate grind-
ing finding purchasers at a further advance of from Is to 2s
per quarter--several millers quitting this to attend Andover
market, which is held later in the day, to purchase there also
at a similar advance. The oldest farmers in this part of Hants
declare they never witnessed so little English-grown wheat
offered for sale in the month of April. Barley—English
Chevalier, weighing 511bs per bushel, made 34s 6d. Oats—
all best samples selling at an advance of from is to 24 per
quarter; fine North Country and Scoth Polands, weight
42155, made 2is per quarter; Newry, ditto, 22s ditto; Lin-
colnshire feed, 20s ditto ; West of England, 18s ditto.
Castile—The market well supplied with both fat and lean
beasts, yet trade was depressed, and prices again falling ; best
fat beasts, at 9s per score pounds ; sheep, at from 3s 6(1 to
4s 4d per stone of 81bs ; lambs, at 5s 8d to 6a ditto. Hops—
Best Farnhrrns, 6t 105 to 6/ 15s per cwt ; second rate, 5i 10s
6/ ditto ; country hops, 31 lOs to / 5s ditto ; Sussex, from
3 3s to 51 ditto ; and those of 1847 being 1/ per cwt. under
those prices.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 19.—The numbers
at our market to-day were—cattle, 668 ; sheep, 774 ; lambs, 7.
The above numbers were quite equal to the demand, and a
clearance could not be effected at any advance en former rates.
Best ox beef 48s per cwt., second 42s 6d to 45s per cwt., cows
and bulls, 35s to 40s per cwt., sinking the offal. We had a
fair supply of good aged whethers, which brought rather better
prices, and were more easily disposed of. Best quality 6d per lb.•
second ditto 53 to sid per cwt. sinking the offal, and all were
sold. Fed calves exceedingly dull this week, with price 3s to
4s per cwt. lower. Best 565, second 48s to 54s per cwt. Pigs
now scarce, and large ones in demand at 425, small dull at 45s
per cwt.

13gLrasT, APRIL 19.—Since Friday we have had small
supplies of grain or catmeal at market. Wheat is a slow sale,
at rather over former rates. There has being more doing in
foreign for mixing, at an improvement of 10s per' ton. Odessa
sells at 9/ 10s to 10' ss, and Baltic wheat at 101 10, to 11/ 105
per ton. Barley sells at forrn."r prices freely. Oats are Id to
2d dearer this week, and are in good demand. Oatmeal has
advanced fully 6d to 9d this week, and is a free sale. Indian
corn is in limited quantity, and in few hands at present ; and
the needy buyers are compelled to pay an advance of lOs to
153 per ton. Yellow, 7t 17s 6d to 8/ 7s Gd ; white, 71 to
71 15s per ton. Flaxseed is a slew sale at 28s 6d to 31s per
barrel for Riga, and 66s to 63, per hhd for Dutch.
WATERFORD, APRIL 18.—Our supplies of all kinds of
grain have materially fallen off, influenced by which and the
recent advance in the English markets, caused an animated
business this week in all sorts of breadstuffs. The following
amendment must be made in previous quotations :—Wbeat ant
oats 6d per brl. ; flour and oatmeal, Is to 2s per sack ; Indian
corn, 2s per brl. ; and Indian meal, 35 per sack. In the value
of butter and bacon pigs there is no material alteration. Bran
in good demand at 6d per brl over last rates.
Conic, Arun 20.—We have to report a decidedly improved
tone and firmer feeling in the trade. The arrivals of foreign
grain have fallen off very materially, and owing to this, as well
as the large consumption going on at present, prices of every
article of produce have advanced since our last. We doubt not
we shall have a still further improvement in the trade, but, as
its extent will depend much upon the aspect of political affairs
upon the Continent, it would, perhaps, be premature to enter
too minutely into the subject at present. In regard to our
home resources, with reference to the article of food, we find
the :dark-lane Express" now corroborating the statement/
which we made some time since as to the smallness of the stock/
held by the English farmers, the deliveries of grain from whom
have seriously fallen away. Our own receipts of
grain
are wretchedly small, and excite so little attention
as to make quotations altogether nominal. In pre-
p ;red wheat (Irish) we have little or nothing doing.
In foreign also but little business has been transacted, but
prices have advanced Is per barrel. We have no barley offer-
ing. Black oats have been in demand, and some parcels have
changed hands at an advance of 6d to 9d per barrel. The
flour trade at length exhibits symptoms of revival. We have
had a brisk demand for the article, and a decidedly improved
feeling in the trade, during the week. Fine flours, which
exhibit an upward tendency, have sold more freely, and for
coarse descriptions we experience a brisk demand at full prices.
Altogether the aspect of the market warrants us in believing
that we are on the eve of a brisker trade in this, as well as all
other descriptions of bread-stuffs. A large trade has been
done in Indian Corn at an advance of fully 7s 6d per tons
8' 108 being the asking price of prime Galata 81 51, and, in
some instances, 817 s 6d having been obtained' for the article.
Indian Meal has met a freer sale at a similar improvement.
Stocks of both these articles are rapidly running down, and
should the supplies continue light as at present, the value of
both, as well as of coarse flours, would be enhanced materially.

Two NEW tiONIETS. —Mr. Graham, of Mr. Coo.. per,s Observatory, Markree Castle, Sligo, and M. Gou-
jon, of the Observatory at Paris, have written to Air.
Hind, of Mr. Bishop's Observatory, Regent's-park, noti-
fying their discovery of two new comets; Mr. Graham's
being at present situated in Bootes, and M. Goujon's in
the constellation Crater. Both comets, it is said, are in
very favourable positions for observation during the ab-
sence of moonlight.
The course of exchange at New York on London
is 1051 per cent., and the par of exchange between
England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it fol.
lows that the exchange is 3.83 per cent. against England
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at
60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the
above difference.
