MANCHESTER, OCT. 20.—1 n the early part of the week
the trade continued steady, and a fair demand was ex.
perienced for good qualities of flour, fully, and, in some
instances, for extra kinds, rather over the previous cur-
rency. Subsequently, however, less animation has pre-
vailed, the dealers and bakers refraining from following
up their purchases. A moderate amount of business has
been passing in oatmeal throughout the week, but prices
have further receded. Of Irish produce the arrivals at
Liverpool are less extensive than during the preceding
week; and coastwise the supplies are again trivial. From
abroad the imports, with the exception cf 35,898 barrels
of flour from the United States, are likewise only mode-
rate. At our market this morning considerable inac-
tivity existed, and although holders of both wheat and
flour were willing to accept the rates of this day sennight;
few sales could be effected. In the value of oats no
change was- apparent, but oatmeal must be noted fully
6d per load cheaper.

DUBLIN, OCT. 20.—We had a good supply of grain
at market this day. At the commencement a small
advance was demanded on wheat and oats, and in some
instances paid ; but the market ended dull for all de-
scriptions of grain, at the quotations of Tuesday, which
we repeat. The consumptive demand for Indian corn was
quite in retail at our quotations:—White wheat, new,
19s 6d to 235; red ditto, 17s to 21s 6d; barley, 93 61 to
14s 6d; bere, 8s to 9s; new oats (per barrel), 83 6d to
101; rapeseed (ditto), 25s to 265; oatmeal, lOs to 115;
Second flour (per cwt), 12s 6d to 16s 6d; Indian corn
(per 4801 b), 25s to 293.

RIZADINGT; OCT. 20.—Wheat, per quarter, 30s to 52s ;
barley, 28s to 345; oats, 16s to 20s; beans, 30. to 345;

MoternosE, OCT. 19.—We have few farmers in town
to-day, and little grain offering. Prices about'the same
as last week. Wheat, new, 621bs, 40s to 425; old, 444
to 465; barley, new, 53 ditto, 20s; oats, new, 40 ditto,
15. to 15s 6d per quarter. Oatmeal, per boll, of 140 lbs,
lis 6cl .to 12s 6d. Potatoes, per boll, of 5 cwt., 116
to 13s.
GLASGOW, OCT. 18.—At our market to-day we had
a good supply of cattle and a good many inferior beasts.
bat good cattle fully maintained last week's prices.
Best ox beef 50s per cwt, second 40s to 45s per do,
cows and inferior beasts from 30. to 36. per do, sinking
the offal. A good many turned out unsold. Owing to
the good supply of sheep sales were dull and prices
much as last week. Best aged wethers sid per ib, mid-
dling from 4d to 4id per do, ewes from 3d to 3id per do,
sinking the offal. Lambs dull, and jprices ruled about
those of last week .

n CORK; OCT. 19.—We have had but few arrivals of
foreign grain during the week. The supply of that of
home growth, however, continues abundant, the receipts
for the week amounting to—Wheat, 3,285 barrels, at
16s to 21s per barrel; barley, 9,316 barrels, at 7s to
lls 6d per barrel; and oats, 14,130 barrels, at 6s 9d to
9s 4d per barrel. The condition of the wheat coming in
has improved, and the value of the article has advanced
to the extent of 6d per barrel. The prepared market is
exceedingly quiet, and we have very little business pass-
ing either in home or foreign grain; still hfilders are
firm. Barley, which comes to hand in great quantity, is
the turn cheaper, except for prime malting samples,
which are scarce and in demand. In prepared barley
we have DO business to notice. Oats continue to meet a
ready sale at rather improving prices. Some sales of
the prepared article have been made at 8s 6d per barrel,
free on board, which we may quote the current value.
We continue to experience a steady consumptive demand
for fresh made flour of approved brands. Coarse quali:
ties also still find a ready sale. The consumption of
bread, owing perhaps to the deteriorated condition of
potatoes, has decidedly increased, so that we may
look for a more steady trade in the article
than that experienced of late. The trade in Indian
corn continues to be of the most restricted
character. Holders, however, are firm and we cannot
alter our quotations or last week, namely, 61 10. to
61 15e per ton. Indian meal meets very little inquiry.

HUGE CARROT.—It is not a little gratifying to find
that we still maintain a most enviable superiority
amongst our contemporaries for the production of vege-
table monstrosities. They have been hunting hither
and thither in search of such wonders, but the turnip
and the mushroom which we described the other week
to say nothing of the pears which we did not taste, but
the siz9 of which we very faithfully recorded—remain
not only unsurpassed but unapproached by anything of
the kind which the most painstaking and industrious
amongst them have been able to lay bold of. We are
now, happily, in a condition to claim credit for the
largest carrot grown within thirty miles of the spot
where we write. A huge giant of this kind, of the white
species, was sent to us this week, measuring 13 inches
in circumference at the thick end-121 inches in length
—accl weighing 31b. 10oz. It was grown by Mr. John-
stone., postmaster, Ecclalechan.—Carlisle Journal.
CHEAP TRAVELLING.—We notice that the packet-
boats are announced to run between Manchester and
Liverpool, and vice versa, at the low fares of 6d. and 3d•
for the whole length between those two places. Thv
boats at the lowest fare (3d.) perform the voyage
about seven hours; those at the higher rate (6d.) in
about hours.
