NEWBURY, MAY 10.—The supply of wheat on offer to-day
is a fair average, but we have to report an extremely dull
dragging trade; and although a further decline of Is to 25 per
quarter was submitted to, still some quantity remains over
unsold. Barley but little on offer, and late rates supported.
Beans, peas, and oats, short supply, and fully support the
prices of last week.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 11.—At this day's market these was a
thin attendance of the town and country trade, and a limited
business was done in wheat at about Tuesday's prices. Oats
and oatmeal were not much inquired for, but an advance of id
per 401bs was demanded for the former article. Barley, beans,
and peas moved off slowly at late rates. Barrel flour was in
brisk request, and towards the close of the market was gene-
rally held at 23s per barrel. Indian corn met with a slow sale,
and a reduction of 6d to Is per quarter was submitted to in the
sales made. Prime yellow Indian meal could hare been
bought at 15s 6d per barrel.
EXETER, FRIDAY.—CattIe—The market was again heavily
supplied with all descriptions of stock, rather an unusual oc-
currence on the market- day immediately preceding a fair. The
best fat beef, in a few instances, was worth 8s 6d per score,
but a large proportion sold at 7s 6d to Bs, and some of ordi-
nary quality, at 7s. Cows and calves were a complete drug,
and although in one instance 141 was obtained, the best articles
generally could be bought at 101 to 121 each, and some were
sold under 71. Very good barreners fetched 5s per score, but
articles of inferior quality sold at 4s 6d. Yearlings were
offered at 41 to 4155, and two and three year old steers at 6/
to 81 each. The supply of butcher's calves was very large, and
sold at 44d to bid per lb. There was also a large supply of
sheep, the large fat sheep being nearly unsaleable; in one in-
stance a lot of naked fat wethers and ewes, estimated at 241 b
the quarter, was offered for 34s 6d, a little more than 44d per
lb, but that price was refused. Wethers in their wool, were
worth bid per lb, and ewes ditto, 4id to sd. Store hogs
sold at 20s to 28s each, and couples 32s to 425.
Lamb 7d per lb. A moderate supply of store pigs.
Pork Carcases—The supply was, larger than that of
last week, by about '2O pigs. Prices were, however, rather
higher, in consequence of a considerable portion being bought
by Bristol dealers, and must be quoted at 7s to 8s 3d per
score. Pannier—Turkeys 5s 6d to 8s each ; ducklings, 45 to
6s per couple; fowls, 3s 6d to 4s 6d ditto; spring chickens,
2s 6d to 4s 6d ditto ; roasters, 4s 6d to 5s 6d each ; butter,
led per lb; eggs, 20 and 22 for Is. Corn Exchange.—The
exchange has been well attended to-day, and we notice little
alteration in the quotation for English wheat, the growers pre-
ferring to hold on rather than sell at less quotations than last
week. Warranted samples of English wheat must be quoted at
is to 6s 6d per bushel. Belgium white wheat, 505 per quarter,
601 b to the bushel. French ditto, 48s and 495; red ditto, 445;
barley, 4s per bushel for best samples; oats were dearer, and
realised from 2s 6d to 4s per bushel ; fine flour, 34s to 37s per
sack.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 11.—A full amount of
business has been done in our market this week, and prices may
be quoted from 6d and Is per cwt higher. The refined market
is very firm, but it scarcely participates in the improvement
noticed in the raw material. Rum is still neglected.—. Bristol
Illercury.
LLANCEFNI, MAY 10.—Barley, 30s; oats, 16s 6d to 17s per
quarter; butchers' stalls—beef, 6d; mutton, 6d to 7d ; veal,
bd to 6d per Ib ; lamb, 2s 6d to 3s per quarter ; fresh butter,
10d to Mid per lb; fowls, 16d to 22d per couple; eggs, 13 for
6d ; store pigs in good demand, and selling at 2553t0 32s ; those
in carts from six to eight weeks old, from 9s to 1 la. Our
markets of late have been thinly attended owing to the present
panic in agricultural produce.
RUTIII N, MAY 7.—Wheat averaged from 16s to 17s per
hobbet ; barley and oats a shade lower than our last quotation ;
potatoes scarce at 15s per hobbet; fresh butter, from 11d to is
per lb.
i'SIOLD, ZIAY 9.—Little business done to-day in our market,
with a further decline in prices since last week. Wheat, 16s 6d

per hobbet.

ST. PETERSBURGH, APRIL 27.—Messrs. Brandt and Co.'s
circular states that the weather continues to be very mild, and
the ice on the Neva is expected to break up very shortly, but
it may be a long time yet before the shipping season opens at
Cronstadt. The following transactions took place during the
last week in exports :—Tallow—The continued flat advice.
from England as well as the reports of a large supply this year
of nearly or perhaps more than 150,000 casks, have affected our
prices very much, and obliged our Russian dealers to give way
considerably, in consequence of which much business was done
this week, and 2,50 u casks were sold altogether (per August, at
112 roubles, with all money down for first common Y. C.
tallow, at 36A, 33115. 7d per ton, free on board exclusive of
interest and del credere, and 500 casks were done even at 110
roubles, all money down, 36a, 3314. per ton free on board, ex-
clusive of interest and del credere, 116 to 115 roubles with
handmoney, 107 roubles, with all money down for soap tallow ;
per June. at 113 roubles, with all money down, 363, 341 1. 10d,
for first Ukraine Y. C., and at 115 roubles with handmoney ;
but as the most needy sellers have thus provided themselves
with money, 1 rouble more is demanded; however, there is no
reason to believe this would be granted ; on the contrary, a
further fall of prices is very likely, if the article should not be-
come firmer again in England. Hemp—Prices of this article
have likewise receded materially during the last fortnight.
Clean hemp for June and July delivery has been sold at 77 76
roubles, all money down (at 36a, 23118 s 10d, 231 13s 2d per
ton free on board) 410 roubles with handmoney. Ontshot we
could buy at 74 roubles all money down, at 76 roubles with
handmoney. Half-clean we could buy at 67 roubles all money,
down at 70 roubles with handmoney. The supplies this year
are *expected to be very large, and estimated up to nearly
1,800,000 poods. The quality is reported to be inferior to
that of the supply of last year. The purchases on contract up
to this date amount to about 800,000 poods.
