MAN6HESTER, DEC. 1 s.—Throughout the present
week a firmer feeling has been apparent in the trade,
and without any approach to excitement. A fair amount
of business has occurred in flour, at fully the previous
currency. Oatmeal was also in improved demand, and
the turn dearer. At our market this morning both
wheat and flour were, in some instances, held for some-
what higher prices, but the transactions were only to a
limited extent, particularly in the latter article. Oats
must be noted at Id per 451, and oatmeal 3d to 6d per
load dearer.

NORWICH, DEC. 15.—The new Corn Excharge was
well attended, considering the pouring rain. The sam-
ples of wheat shown were many of them in very poor
and damp condition, and unfit for millers without mixing;
yet even finest white and red, weighing 621 b to 641 b per
bushel, would not find an advanced price, primest going
at 20s to 21s per coomb of 4 bushels imperial; moderate
ditto at from 183 to 193 ditto. No alteration in flour
free on board; best, 30s; seconds, 28s per sack of 2801 b.
Bread at 2d the 21b loaf. Quantity of wheat sold as per
inspector's return on last market day, 2,166 quarters 1
bushel, which realised 4,10310 s ild, or 11 19s lid per
quarter. Barley was in lair demand, chiefly for malting
purposes, yet malsters would not spring above the prices
given last Saturday. A few very heavy chevalier, of
prime colour, reached 30s per quarter, yet the general
prices ran from 263 to 28s per quarter. New malt
offered at 563 per quarter. Oats, best, 20s per quarter;
second-rate feed, 16s to 18s per quarter. Very little
doing in other grain ; neither in small seeds' manures,
oil cakes, nor hops. Barley sold last market day, 6,294
quarters 4 bushels, which realised 8,5291 3s 6d, or an
average of 11 7a Id per quarter.
COLCHESTER, DEC. 15.—The markets in this district
still continued declining in the early part of the week,
but latterly the supplies have not been so large, and
within the last two days a slight reaction has taken
place. In our market to-day there has been more firm-
ness in the wheat trade, the best samples realizing is
per quarter more money, the finest white going up to
505., and red to 445. Barley, too, was rather firmer.
On Friday at Chelmsford the primest samples of wheat
fetched from is to 2s per quarter more. The quotations
were—White wheat, 45s to 50s; red, 40s to 432. Good
malting barley was dearer, and fetched from 27s to
29=; grinding, 233 to 245. Oats were reported as un-
saleabNe .

In Suffolk, within the last two days, a similar im-
provement may be recorded.
On Thursday at Stowmarket there was more firmness
in the wheat trade, and for the best samples an improve•
ment of Is per quarter.
At Woodbridge there was an improv(ment in wheat
and barley, but beans and peas were is cheaper.
At Bury the supply of grain was large, and the trade
was not quite so brisk as at the other markets.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET. VEC. I3.—At our mar-
ket to-day the numbers were—oxen, 60S; sheep, 2,387.
We had a larger supply of cattle at our market to-day
than lust week, and good beasts sold rather freely, and
maintained fully former prices. Best ox beef fully 50s,
second quality from 40s to 445, cows, bulls, and in-
ferior beasts, from 32s to 40s per cwt, sinking the offal;
nearly all sold. Sheep were scarcer than last week,

but former prices are still maintained for good sheep.
Best wethers 51(1, current 4tl to 41d, and old ewes 3d
to 33/4d per lb, sinking the offal. A few lots turn •
ur•so?d.

CORK, DEC 14 —The arrivals of foreign grain have
been very moderate. Those of that of home growth
have been equally so; the receipts fur the week amount-
ing to—wheat, 2.330 brls at 16s to 22s per brl; barley,
2,260 brls at 6'l to lls 8d per brl; oats, 5,081 brls at
6, to 9s 4d pt r brl. With the moderate supplies coming
in the prices of all descriptions of grain are well sup•
ported, and we have no alteration of consequence to
notice in the market. Of prepared wheat a small parcel
of Irish has been sold at the price quoted in our last,
namely 22s per barrel. In foreign wheat also soma
business has been done at 23s 6d per barrel for Polish

()Jess'', some of which is now on offer. In the absence

of Marianople, none of which is to be had, quotations
for the article must be nominal. Its value would pro•
bably be 25s Prime malting barley continues scarce
and in demand, and some business has been done ill
superior grinding barley at the prices of last week. We
know of no sales having taken place in oats, holders ot
which however are firm and refuse to sell on lower terms
than those last quoted, namely 9s per barrel. Irish
flour continues very difficult of disposal. Prime foreign,
and foreign mixed, however still meet a good inquitl
and sell readily at late prices. Coarse descriptions art
still in demand. Indian corn continues without mho'
alteration, some bwiness having been done in the
article at prices varying from 61 2s 6d to 61 set
and in some extreme cases 61 7s fid per too.
Indian meal still meets a very restricted sale.

INCENDIARISM IN BERKSHIRE. —On Saturday
evening a fire broke out at Lollingdon farm, in 111
parish of Cholsey, near Reading in the occupation 0
Mr. George Hewett; and an extensive barn was totalli,
destroyed, together with a large quantity of thrashed
corn. Fortunately, owing to the assistance rendered
by the neighbours, and the speedy arrival of an engine
from Aston, the other farms, and a number of rickg
nearly contiguous to the spot, were saved. Mr. Hewett:
it is believed, is insured. The fire was clearly the ac'
of an incendiary. Another fire in the above neighbour'
hood also broko out about half-past six o'clock in the
morning at Drayton, on a farm belonging to Mr. %V. Bet:
teridge. The barn in which the fire was discovered 01'
entirely destroyed, together with its contents, which coo'
sisted of about 17 quarters of barley in sacks, 20 (I,lll°,
thrashed and ready for winnowing, and also four ricko
standing close to each other near the spot. There is 411,,
doubt that the fire was caused by come incendiary. 14',,,;
Betteridge is fully insured. A third fire, involving 11'1"
destruction of farm property to a considerable ester
occurred about eight o'clock in the evening at Inholine,
farm, situated a few miles from Hungerford, in the 001,
pation of Mr. Spacieman. The whole of the farm h°ll,
ings, including three extensive barns, with their CO,
tents of corn and agricultural implements, two 150',
wheat ricks, a barley rick, togeth' r with a colt, tl,
fat pig intended for a prize exhibition, wore totally °jig
stroyed. The whole of the property is insured. T:a
firo also originated, it is believed, in the act of "
incendiary.
IMPORTATION OF POULTRY.—Very large imports;
tions of poultry are taking place from the Belgian Pfbe
at the present time, the produce of that country. bt
steamer Sir .Edward Bankes, from Ostend, has broagbe
94 packages, and the steamer Triton, arrived front.to,
Barrie port, has brought 136 cases of poultry, of varl°os
kinds, the produce of Belgium. Another arrival of lof
eases has taken place from the same port, and one 0
110 cases, also of Belgian produce. These supplies ft? b
Belgium comprise large quantities of rabbits, with **bin%
that country greatly abounds; end we underbtankl,
good authority, that the importations of them from Pero
gium, particularly towards the close of the week, $136
eagerly looked for, and regularly purchased, by 1,0
humbler portion of the community in various parts of
