MANCHESTER. DEC. 15..--Thioughout 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 Exchange 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; moderato
ditto at from 18s to 19s ditto. No alteration in flour
free on board; best, 30s; seconds, 28s per sack of 2801 b.
Bread at 21 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 lid, or 1/ 19s lld per
quarter. Barley was in fair 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 gds to 28s per quarter. New malt
offered at 56s per quarter. Oats, best, 20s per quarter;
second-rate feed, I6s 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 8,529/ 33 6d, or an
average of 117 s 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 today there has been more firm-
ness in the wheat trade, the best simples realizing Is
per quarter more money, the finest white going up to
505., and red to 443. 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 435. Goid
malting barley was dearer, and fetched from 27s to
29.; grinding, 23s to 245. Oats were reported as un-
saleable.

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•
mcnt of is per quarter.
At Woodbridge there was an improvement 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 brill as at the other markets.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, DEC 13.—At our mar-
ket to-day the numbars were—oxen, 60i; sheep, 2,367.
We had a larger supply of cattle at our market to-day
than last week, and good beasts sold rather freely, and
maintsined fully. former prices. Best ox beef fully 50a,
second quality from 403 to 445, cows, bulls, and in-
ferior beasts, from 32s to 40s per eve, sinking the offal;
nearly all sold. Sheep were scarcer tha❑ last week,

CORK, I)Lc. 14.—The arrivals of foreign grain have
been very moderate. Those of that of home growth
have been equally so; the receipts for the week amount-
ing to—wheat, 2,330 brls at 16s to 22s per brl; barley,
2,260 brls at 75 6d to Ils 8d per brl; oats, 5,081 brls at
68 to 9a 4d per 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 barn 1. In foreign wheat also some
business has bee❑ done at 23a ad per barrel for Polish
Odessa, 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 iu demand, and some business Ms been done in
superior grinding barley at the prices of last week. We
know of no sales having taken pla:e in oatr, holders of
which however are firm and refuse to sell on lower terms
than those last quoted, namely 9s per. barrel. Lish
flour continues very difficult of disposal. Prime foreign,
and foreign mixed, however still inset a good inquiry
an I sell readily at late prices. Coarse descriptions are
still in demand. Indian corn continues without much
alteration, some basin, ss having been done in the
article at prices varying from 61 2s 6,1 to 61 SS,
and in some extreme cases 61 7s 61 per ton.
Indian meal still meets a very restricted sale.

INCENDIARISM IN BERKSHIRE. —On Saturday
evening a fire broke out at Lullingdon farm, in the
parish of Cholsey, near Reading in the occupation o
Mr. George Hewett; and an extensive barn was totally
destroyed, together with a large quantity of thrashed
corn. Fortunstely, owing to the assistance rendered
by the neighbours, and the speedy arrival of an engin°
from Aston, the other farms, and a number of ricks
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 broke out about halt-past six o'clock in the
morning at Drayton, on a farm belonging to Mr. W. Bet.
teridge. The barn in which the fire was discovered !JO
entirely destroyed, together with its contents, which con'
tasted of about 17 quarters of barley in sacks, 20 ditto
thrashed and ready for winnowing, and also four rick
O
standing close to each other near the spot. There isar
doubt that the fire was caused by some incendiary. 1)3,,r;
Betteridge is fully insured. A third fire, involving 61,,
destruction of farm property to a considerable extent'
occurred about eight o'clock in the evening at Inhollne
farm, situated a few miles from Hungerford, in the el:
patio!' of Mr. Spaceman. The whole of the farm buil
lugs, including three extensive barns, with their COVe
tents of corn and agricultural implements, two 'erg,
wheat ricks, a barley rick, together with a colt, Bodo,
fat pig intended for a prize exhibition, were totallini,
stroyed. The whole of the property is insured. 1 0
fire also originated, it is believed, in the act of a
incendiary.
IMPORTATION OF POULTRY.—Very large import`
tions of poultry are taking place from the Belgian Pbe
at the present time, the produce of that country. •Lim
steamer Sir Edward Bankes, from Ostend, has 100111.0
94 packages, and the steamer Triton, arrived from tf,
same port, ha 3 brought 136 cases of poultry, of varicT,3
kinds, the produce of Belgium. Another arrival of l'of
cases has taken place from the same port, and one 0
110 cases, also of Belgian produce. These supplies fr°,o
Belgium comprise large quantities of rabbits, with 10100
that country greatly abounds; and we underetand,„„l,
good authority, that the importations of them from Po".
glum, particularly towards the close of the week, the
