BELFAST, Ptc. 7.—Since this day week we have bad
variableweather, and, except on Friday, when there Was
a large show of grain, our supplies have been rather
bare, and yet the demand for every article is dull, and
prices lower. Wheat has been a dragging a sale, and
prices are 6d to 9d lower. No inquiry for parcels.
Flour is again 6d per cwt. lower, and barrels are a slow
sale at 30s. Barley—Prime samples are scarce, aod,
maintain their value, whilst common runs are 3d to 0
lower. Oats, in the early part of the week, were eliffi'
cult of sale at a reduction of 3d to 6d, have since re'
covered a part of this decline, and are in better demand.
Oatmeal also declined, and has again rallied, and sells
Freely at my quotations. Indian corn goes pretty steadily
!Ito consumption at 8l 2s 6d to 817 s 6d per ton.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
MANCHESTER, DEC. 9.—More diTosition has been
shown for buisiness during the past week, particularly in
flour; but the disinclination of many holders to take the
prices which have recently been submitted to, prevented
that extent of transactions which would otherwise have
taken place. More firmness, however, has generally
been apparent. At both Liverpool and Wakefield, yes-
terday, considerable business was done, and some ad.
vance was realised upon wheat. Our market to-day is
well attended. A fair business is doing in wheat and
flour, at less irregular prices, and the chap bargains of
last and the early part of this week seem to have disap-
peared. Other articles steady, with moderate demand.
WINCHESTER, DEC. 9.—Corn—A moderate supply of
dry Wheats, but a large ditto of indifferent ditto; prices
were no lower for the former, yet an evident dis-
inclination to purchase the latter. The top prices were
14/ to 14/ lOs per load of 5 quarters ; secondary ditto,
121 to 131 ditto; inferior offered at from 101 to 11/ ditto.
Flour down 2s per sack. Barley for malting was
scarcely to be had at the prices of this day week, holders
asking Is per quarter more money, which in some in-
stances was given ; grinding without alteration, prices
from 27s to 34s per quarter. Malt of dull sale. Oats
declined is to 2s per quarter, some very sweet Pollards
made but 233 per quarter. Beans and Peas were de-
cidedly lower, from is to 2s per quarter. Very little
alteration in Rye, Indian Corn, or small Seeds. Hops--
Several Farnham growers were offering this day their
best at 51 15s per cwt., second quality, at 51 5s ditto,
good Altons were offered at 41 lOs to 4/ 15s ditto ; sales
were dull. Cheese—A greater demand for good Ched-
ders and Gloucesters ; old high flavoured doubles,
went at from 64s to 66s per cwt ; second rate ditto, 5Ss
to 60s ditto; Cowards at from 48s to 50s ditto; Skins,
26s 30s ditto,
CHELTENHAM, DEC. 7.—We had a dull market to-
day, although there was an unusually crowded atten-
dance. Sales were effected slowly, at stationary prices.

1/ 7s 6d.
READING, DEC. 9.—The attendance was of an average
character and the supply of wheat but moderate, much of
it rough and out of condition. There was rather more
inquiry than last week, and prices were firm, the millers
being unwilling buyers at any advance, but on the whole
a better trade was done. Of barley there was a fair
supply at last week's rate, and not much business done.
The trade in oats, beans, and peas, was merely no-
minal, and no alteration in prices can be quoted.

60s; barley, 28s to 365; oats, 16s to 21s; beans, 303 to
