less than of late, yet the demand being limited, last

on easier terms. In beans and other articles no change.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 10.—The duty on wheat has ad
vanced to 6s per quarter, and on flour to 3s 7 1-3 d per
barrel, which are the only alterations this week. The im-
ports since Tuesday are moderate, and from Ireland and
coastwise comprise 201 qrs of wheat, 104 qrs of barley,
204 quarters of malt, 3,651 quarters of oats, 86 quarters
of rye, 400 quarters of beaus, 4,342 loads of oatmeal,
and 495 sacks of flour. There are no arrivals from Ca-
❑ada, and from foreign ports only 571 quarters of wheat,
4,312 quarters of Indian corn, 956 barrels of corn meal,
and 16,455 barrels of flour. The exports in the same
time amount to 1,011 quarters of wheat, 4,747 quarters
of Indian corn, 159 barrels of corn meal, 335 sacks and
877 barrels of flour. The weather in the past two days
has been extremely cold and frosty, with a slight fall of
snow, which should improve the condition of the new
wheats. The trade still remains without animation, the
transactions being quite in retail, without any material
change in prices. A few partial sales of Indian corn may
have been made at a slight reduction on previous rates.
At this day's market there was a fair attendance of
dealers and a large show of samples of all kinds of corn
and Pour. The demand for wheat was very limited, and
all kinds of old, whether British or foreign, were Id per
701 b lower ; Irish new, being less plentiful, met a slow
sale at about previous rates. There was not much pass-
ing in oats or oatmeal, but holders were firm, and the few
sales made were at Tuesday's currency. Barley, beans,
and peas were in retail demand, without any change in
prices. Flour was very dull, and in some instances 6d
per barrel less was taken for Western Canal, ex ship.
Irish held at former rates, and little sold. A moderate
demand was experienced for Indian corn, at the full
rates of Tuesday, which were rather better than yester-
day; 36s was paid for Ibraila yellow, and 18s per barrel
for corn meal.

NEWBURY, Nov. 9.—At this day's market
_there was a

much improved by the alteration in the weather. The

DEVIZES, Nor. 9.—The supply of Wheat to-day was
not so good as last week; old was much in request, as
also was the best description of new, and both sold
readily, the old at fully last week's prices, and the best
new at an advance of 6d a sack. In a few instances,
perhaps, a greater improvement was made: some par-
eels of not quite the best quality obtaining an advance of
Is a sack; 31s was the top price of old, and 27s 6d of
new; for the inferior damp Wheats there was no de-
mand, but all of a saleable quality was quickly cleared
off. Barley was in large supply, and the trade very
dull. In Oats, Beans, and Bias, there was but little do-
ing, and no alteration in price. Wheat, white, 60s
to 645; ditto, best red, 50s to 625; ditto,
middling ditto, 49s to 555; do. inferior ditto, 38s to
48s; Barley, 28s to 375; Oats, 23s to 275; Beans, old,
46s to 48s; do. new, 40s to 445; Peas, 38s to 42s per
quarter; Flour, fine, 45s to 495; Seconds, 41s to 44s
per sack.
EXETER MARKET, FRIDAT.—Cattle Market—The
supply to-day was moderate, beasts were rather more
plentiful, and sheep rather less than on the last market
day. There was a good attendance of buyers, and
things moved on pretty steadily. Fat beef must be
quoted at from 8s 3d to 9s per score; cows and calves
were not much asked for, and sold at 818 s to 141 each;
barreners, about 5s per score; the best fat wethers were
worth 6d per lb; ewes, 5d to sid; keeping sheep, 30s
to 38s each. Pork Carcases—A larger supply than last
week, which sold at from 8s to 9s per score.—Pannier
Market—Turkeys, 5s to Gs each; geese, 4s to 6s
ditto; ducks, 3s 6d to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 43 ditto;

2s Gd to 3s per brace; pheasants, 5s Gd to 6s ditto;
woodcocks, 5s ditto; roasters, 5s to 6s each; hares, 2s 6d
to 3s ditto; snipes, 9d ditto; butter, is per lb; eggs, 12
for Is; potatoes, Is 2d to is 4d per score; turnips, 4d
ditto; onions, 81b for ls.—Corn Exchange.—There
has been a slight advance today on wheat, which has
sold from one to two shillings per quarter dearer than
last week. Old wheat, 7s 9d to 8s 3d per bushel; new
ditto, 6s to 7s 4d. A very fine Belgian wheat was on
offer, at 605 per quarter. Barley sold at 4s to 4s 3d per
bushel; new oats, 2s to 2s 4d; old ditto, 2s 6cl to 2s 10d
per bushel; fine flour, 42s to 44s per sack of 280Ibs.
TIVISTOCK FAIR, Nov. B.—This has been as large, or
perhaps the largest November fair known here. The
attendance of buyers being rather small, a very flat sale
was found in the morning. The graziers were, however,
ultimately obliged to' yield, and a great number found
purchasers at prices very much below their expectations,
and less than the same beasts would have realised a
month since, at from lOs to 20s per head; best fat bul-
locks, 45s to 50s; general fat cows and steers, about 40s;
sheep, in great number, with a dull demand, at from 5d
to sid per lb.; cows and calves, of good quality, with a
fair demand. The horse fair was better attended than
usual, and of better general quality.
BRISTOL CORN MARKET. NOV. 9.—No change what-
ever took place in the prices to-day, and scarcely any
business was transacted.

TIVERTON MARKET, Nov. 7.—There was a tolerable
supply of grain, and a fair attendance of buyers, the only
old corn delivered to-day, was for previous contracts to
the millers. Of the new samples exhibited, many were
evidently in a melted state. The prices varied but little
from those of last week, namely from 5s to 6s 6d. The
samples of barley were also indifferent in quality, and
bold at from 3s 3d to 4s; oats, 2s to 2s 6d; beef, best
joints, 64d and 7d; mutton, (small Exmoor), 4d to 4id;
best wether, ditto, sid to 61d; pork joints, .sid to 6id ;
sides of bacon, bid to 7d free of limbs; eggs, lld per
dczen ; butter, is per lb ; geese, 4s 6d to 5s 6d each ;
ducks, 3s to 4s per couple ; fowls, 2s 6d to 3a 6d ditto;
potatoes, Id per lb.
IPSWICE CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 7.—We had but a
moderate supply at market to-day ; scarcely any sheep,
and very few fat beasts ; a fair sprinkling of stores,
and a very good show of fat hogs ; trade exceedingly
dull; and fat beef and mutton remain much the same in
price.
EYE, Nov. 7.—We had rather a thin attendance, in
consequence of Diss fair falling on the following day.
The prices both of wheat and barley were firm at last
week's terms ; but little business done, in the hope of
getting better prices at the fair.
WOODBRIDGE, Nov. B.—Our farmers are now so
very much engaged in wheat sowing that the supply of
all grain was this day, very small. Wheat fully main-
tained its price. Barley was is per quarter lower.
BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. e had a small at-
tendance at market to-day. Wheat of the best quality
realised fully the terms of last week. Barley dull sale,
and may be quoted from is to 2s per quarter cheaper.
In other grain no alteration worth notice.
STOWMARKET, Nov. 9.—We had a small market to-
day; a moderate supply of barley, and a still smaller of
wheat, formed neatly the whole supply. The wheat was
taken by our millers at fully late prices, but barley must
be called is per quarter lower. But few beans or peas
in offer, and prices the same as of late.

LLANERCHYMEDD, Nov. 9.—At this market on last
Wednesday, the Nice of all kinds of grain was on the
decline. Wheat averaged at from 52s to 53s ; barley,
29s to 30s ; oats, 16s to 17s per quarter. At the
i
butchers' stalls beef was sold at from 4i i to .5d per lb ;
veal, 5d to 6cl ; mutton, 6d to 7d ; fat pigs, 3 Ito 4(1 ;
store pigs, 20s to 27s each ; young pigs, 8s to lOs ; fat
geese, 2s 9d to 3s; fat ducks, is to is 3d each; fowls, is
to is 6d per couple; fresh butter, 10d to lid per lb.
DENBIGH FAIR, Nov. 7 AND B.—At the cattle and
sheep fair, on Tuesday, the number and quality ex-
hibited were not equal to the usual average, and the
dealers in attendance being but few, the fair wore a
flat appearance. The business transactions that took
place were done at some reduction in price for all de-
scriptions. The same ob,ervations will serve for the
horse fair—the show being inferior, and few changed
hands, In the pig market there was a decided reduction
