NEWBURY, Malt 17.—Our supply of wheat to-day is mo-
derate, yet fully equal to the requirements of the trade, the
demand being extremely slack ; and although we note no
decline in prices, it has been difficult to meet with customers
at late rates. Barley but little in offer, and late rates sup-
ported. Beans, oats, and peas short supply, and late rates
supported.
I.avEnpooL, MAY 18.—At this day's market there was a
fair attendance of the town and country trade, and a good
demand was experienced for wheat and barrel flour, at an ad.
vance of Idto 2d per 701bs, and 3d to 6d per barrel. Oats
and oatmeal were quite as dear, but a slow sale. Barley,
English beans, and peas maintained their value in the few
sales made; but Egyptian beans, owing to the heavy supplies,
were 6J per quarter:lower, at which reduction some extensive
transactions took place. Indian corn was not in so brisk de-
mand, and 36s per quarter must be quoted as the extreme
price of prime yellow. Yellow Indian meal was held for 16s
per barrel.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 18.—The market has
been rather inanimate since our last. report, the sales not ex-
ceeding MO hhds. and tierces of West Indian, and a few small
parcels of Mauritius, at about former rates. In refined there
is no alteration.—Bristol Mercury.
EXETER, MAY 18.—Considering that the fair was held only
on Wednesday, there was a good supply of cattle. Of fat bul-
locks there was no very choice specimen, but prices were well
maintained considering the quality, 8s per score being given
for some average good beasts, and a higher priee for the best
which were driven in. Cows and calves sold at from 8/. to

11/, but there was nothing very good in the market. The
prime fat bullocks of Mr. Mortimer, mentioned in our report
of the fair, were sold at a late period of the fair at 26/ each, for
Smithfield market. Their weight is said to be 16 score per
quarter. Poor stock could not be sold except at low prices,
rough barreners making but 4s per score. Butchers' calves,
31 to 5d per lb. The first lots for the season of the Dorset-
shire breeding calves were shown to day, about 70, prices were
much lower than last year, 15s to 20s per head, as they sold
from 35s to 55s each. There was a good supply of sheep, with
a decided improvement in prices; fat wethers in their wool
being worth full bid per lb, and in some cases rather more
was ob' ained. Store sheep were also quite as dear as
last week ; lamb, 6-0 to 7d per lb. Pork carcasses A very
small supply, with a brisk market, and further advance in price,
which ranged from 7s 6tl to 8s 61 per score. Pannier—Duck-
lings, 4s to 5s per couple ; fowls, 3s 6d to 4s 6d ditto ; spring
chicken, '2s 6d to 4s 6d ; roasters, 4s to os each ; butter, 10d ;
Pggs, 20 to 22 for Is. There was a good 'assortment of green
fruit and vegetables—gooseberries sold at 4d to 6d per quart ;
rhubarb, 2tl per lb ; asparagus, is to 4s per hundred; new po-
tatos, is 6d per lb. Corn Exchange—The attendance was
moderate, and English wheat was more difficult to buy, at last
week's prices, and for the best samples the turn has been in
favour of the growers, as much as 6s 7id having been given in
some instances for warranted English wheat ; the quotations in
general for this article being from 6s to the latter figure. Fo-
reign wheat remains at last week's prices. Belgian white wheat,
601bs to the bushel, 503 per quarter. French ditto, 48s. Red
ditto, 445. Barley, 4s; oats, 2s 6d to 3s per bushel; fine Hour,
34s to 37s per sack of 2801bs.— Western Times.
CHELTENHAM, MAY 17.—The market to-day was very
fiat. Oats the only article in demand, at an improved price.
Wheat, 44s to 503 ; barley, 22s to 28s; and oats, 18s to 22s
per quarter. Beans, 33 10d to 4s 6d per bushel. Hay, 70s to
75s ; and Straw, 38s to 40s per ton.
CARNARVON FAIR, MAY 15.—The number of horses on
sale surpassed any witnessed for years on a similar occasion.
The prices ranged from 301 to 351 for good sorts. In the
cattle market the trade was very languid throughout the
prices being so low as not to afford anything like remune-
ration to the farmer. Good milking cows in calf sold for
6', a few reached 10/, and some of this description went
for 5/.

Dimators FAIR, MAY 14.—The fair to-day wore a very
dull appearance, and although there appeared about the usual
quantity and quality of cattle, they sold very indifferently at
reduced figures. For horses also the dernaud was limited, aed

those chiefly disposed of were of the cart kind. Two or three
dealers from Staffordshire purchased good strings, chiefly cart
korses and strong colts, at low prices.
RUTHIN, MAY 14.—The market was very thinly attended
to-day, and the transactions were of very little importance,
the average prices of corn varying little if any from our last
week's quotations. Potatoes were in great demand ; and good
ones sold briskly at 15s per hobbet. Fresh butter, from 10c1

to Ild per lb. -
MOLD, MAY 16.—The market today was slack, being so
soon after the fair, and not much business done. Wheat,
17s • barley, 11s ; oats, 6s 6d ; and potatoes, 16s per hobbet.
MAY 15.—This day's market was more thinly at-
tended than last week's, and the inquiry for wheat was active,
which commanded an advance of 3d per 1631b5. We observe
no alteration in the value of barley, beans, peas, and oats.
Wheat, 16s 3d per hobbet of 16tilbs.
WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 16.—The number of
beasts was 500, and sheep 7,:300. Prices :—Beef, 5s to 6s 3d
per stone of 141 b. • mutton 4d to 5d per lb. Business was
brisk, nearly all the stock being sold.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 16.—We had a very

good show of beasts, and the quality moderately good for the
season. Of sheep about equal to the demand, though the at-
tendance was good. The demand may be called brisk, and the
full prices of last week were maintained. Nearly everything
sold up.
INVERNESS, MAY 15.—New wheat, per quarter,
weighing 62d, per bushel, 41s to 44s ; barley, 641 b per bushel,
21s to 255; oats, 421 b per bushel, 17s to 18s Od ; seed oats, per
