a further rise oi-2s on old wheat. . per Taal w,
ferior samples of wheat. Barley was also Is dearer. In Suf-
folk the quotations of wheat have been gradually further ad-
vancing. At Stowmarket 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, out 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 heat expressed their fears that the frosts
of the last seven 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, and Indian corn were submitted
to ; the show of fine English grain was small; of prime
Dantsic, Stettin, Pomeranian, Odessa, and Hamburgh, but a
moderate supply, nearly every sample fit for immediate grind-
ing finding purchasers at a further advance •f 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 541b1 per bushel, made 34s 64. Oats—
all best samples selling at an advance of from Is to 2s per
quarter; fine North Country and Scoth Polands, weight
421bs, made 24s per quarter ; Newry, ditto, 22, ditto; Lin-
colnshire feed, 20s ditto ; West of England, 18s ditto.
Cattle—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 gd to
4s 4d per st on% of 81bs ; lambs, at 5s 8d to 6s ditto. Hops—
Best Farnhrms, 61 lOs to 61 15s per cwt ; second rate. 5110 s

BELFAST, APRIL 19.—Since Friday we have had small
supplies of grain or oatmeal 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 101 per ton. Odessa
sells at 91 10s to 10' ss, and Baltic wheat at 101 lOs to 11110 s
per ton. Barley sells at former prices freely. Oats are Idto
2d dearer this week, and are in good demand. Oatmeal has
advanced fully 6d to 9d this week, and is a free sale. • Indian
core is in limited quantity, and in few bands at present ; and
the needy buyers are compelled to pay an advance of lOs ,to
15s per ton. Yellow, 71 17s 6d to 8/ 7s 6d ; white, 71' to
71 152 per ton. Flaxseed is a slew sale at 28s 6d to 31s per
barrel for Riga, and 66s to 681 per hbd 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 :—Wheat ind
oats 6d per brl. ; flour and oatmeal, is to 2s per sack ; Indian
corn, 2s per brl. ; and Indian meal, 3s 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.
CORK Arum 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 hot
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 " Mark-lane Express" now corroboration_the statements
which some time since as to the smallness of the stocks
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-
pared wheat (Irish) we have little or nothing doing.
In foreign also but little business has been transacted, but
prices have advanced 11 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 hive
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 75 6d per ton,
8/ 10s being the asking price of prime Galata, 81 5s and, In
some instances, 8/ 7s 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 COMETS. —Mr. Graham, of Mr. Coo-
per,s Observatory, Markree Castle, Sligo, and M. Gou-
jon, of the Observatory at Paris, have written to Mr.
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 1054 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.
