NEWBURY, Fxs. 15.—The quantity of wheat pitched to-
day exceeds the supply of the last few weeks past, and the con-
dition of it is much improved. The reported decline in Mark-
lane has given a dull tone to the trade here ; and although
generally offering at 1a to 2s per qr. less than last week, yet but
little business has been done. Barley a large supply ; the
demand is slack, and the turn in favour of buyers. Beans,
peas, and oats, moderate supply, and there being some demand
for seed, late rates have been fully supported. In seeds but
little passing.
LivintrooL, FEB. 16.—The arrivals of most articles of the
grain trade the last two days have been liberal ; at the same
time the demand has been inactive. There was a fair attend-
ance of millers and dealers at this morning's market ; wheat and
flour were in moderate request, at an abatement on Tuesday's
rates of Id per bushel on the former, and 6d per barrel and
sack on flour. Oats were saleable, at full prices, but oatmeal
was easier to buy. Egyptian beans were 6d per quarter cheaper.
Barley and peas were in limited request. There was a fair sale
for Indian corn, at a small concession on Tuesday's prices.
EXETER, FEB. 16.—Cattle--From its being Exeter Fair on
Wednesday, the market was scantily supplied, whilst prices still
remain very near the same as late quotations. Fat bullocks were
on dull sale, and the market was a shade in favour of the buyer ;
8s 9d per score being about the top price. Barreners, and cows.
and calves were the turn dearer, the former being worth 5s to
6s per scare, the latter selling at 101 to 141 each. Steers were
not much inquired for, some good ones were on offer at 25/ to
30/ the pair. Fat sheep about the same as last week ; wethers,
51,4 d, and ewes, 6d per lb. Corn Exchange—A very large at-
tendance of growers, but as the millers refuse to give as much
as last week, the farmers do not seem inclined to give way ; the
business transacted has not, up to one o'clock, been extensive.
English wheat sold at from 6s 6d to 6s 9d per bushel, in best
samples ; foreign, ditto, from 4.7 s to 57s per quarter; barley,
3s 9d to 4s ; oats, 2s to 2s 6d per bushel ; fine lour, 38s to 40s
