re►y favourable aecatols have teaened us th:s rr'srt,
ing, respecting the progress tuaktug in harvest cork in
the whole of our forward e..unties. Our foreign ad-
vices state that a steady business has been trans-
acted in most articles of Grain for shipment to England,
at full prices. In the south of Franco nearly the whole
of the crops have been secured in excellent condition.
The country markets, held on Saturday, were in a very
sluggish state for must articles of grain, if we except
Indian corn. Prices had a downward tendency. Up
to our market, last week, coastwise, very little Grain
reached us. The imports from abroad were very mo-
derate ; viz., 8 871 quarters of Wheat; 2,360 quarters
of Barley; 4,532 quarters of Oats; 5 quarters of Rye;
556 qrs of Peas ; 541 qrs of Linseed ; 1,087 qrs of
Rapeseed; 1,254 quarters of sundry Seeds, including
850 qrs of Indian Corn, and 170 sacks 1,164 brls of Flour.
There were on sale, in to-day's market, about 540 qrs.
of new English Wheat from Essex and Kent. The qua-
lity of the samples was better than on Monday last. The
attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous, and s
steady business was transacted in all kinds of Wheat of
home produce, at full prices, viz., from 50s. to 525. per
quarter. The weight of the samples varied from 60s. to,
621bs. per bushel. Scarcely any old English Wheat was
in the market, and the quotations ruled almost nominal.
The millers appear to be very short of stock, yet they
evinced no disposition to effect large purchases. With.
foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not so largely
supplied. Selected qualities of both Red and White
moved off slowly, at about stationary prices. In.
the middling and out• of-condition sorts scarcely any
business was transacted. The importers, however,
were not disposed to accept lower rates; hence very
few transactions took place, at barely late rates. The
want of purchasers of floating cargoes compelled some
of the importers to land in bond; to have effected sales
afloat lower rates must have been accepted. We were
very scantily supplied with English Barley; new samples
were taken at from 30s to 32s per quarter. Fine Fo—
reign was held at full prices. In other kinds scarcely
any business was reported. The show of Malt samples
was very small; nevertheless the demand for that article
was in a very inactive state, at barely late currencies.
Samples for forward delivery were offering freely, without
finding buyers. With all kinds of Oats, especially
English, we were very scantily supplied. Fine sound
Corn was steady, at, iu some instances, 6d per quarter
more money. All other kinds were quite as dear as on.
Monday last. Beans, the supply of which was small,
moved off slowly, at last week's prices. New Peas were
I not lower, yet the inquiry for them was in a sluggish
state. Indian Corn and Meal were held for more moneys
but the amount of business transacted in them was
small. In Flour only a limited business was passing, at
the late decline.
