BIRMINGHAM, DEC. 21.—At this day's market there
was a large supply of wheat from the farmers, and the
trade ruled dull at a decline of is per quarter. Barley
a slow sale at former prices. Oats nominally unaltered.
Beans nearly maintained their value. In peas nothing
doing.
BRISTOL, DEC. 21.—At to-day's market the supplies
of English wheat were very moderate, and the trade
ruled dull at last week's rates, viz, English old, 52s to
56s per imperial quarter; English new, 44s to 48s. The
transactions in free foreign have likewise been very re-
stricted. Foreign white, 53s to 56s per 4801bs; foreign
red, fine qualities. 49s to 525; foreign red. ordinary qua-
lities, 4as to 48s; ditto, hard, 45s to 50s. Flour met
with a very slow sale, at a decline of is per sack, Eng-
lish seconds selling at 36s to 49s per sack, and Ameri-
can, &e., sweet at 28s to 29s per barrel. Really prime
samples a malting barley were scarce, and would corn-
maild a ready sale at top quotations, whilst secondary
and inferior qualities were quite neglected. English
malting brought 32s to 36s per imperial quarter; Eng-
lish and foreign grinding, 24s to 28s per 400;bs, show-
ing that for grinding parcels there was a fair demand.
Oat continue extremely dull, and values have still a
drooping tendency; Devon and Welsh, 16s 6d to 17s 6d
per imperial quarter; Irish white, 193 to 20s per 3201b5;
Irish black, 16s to 17s 6d per imperial quarter; foreign,
none. Beans remain unaltered, viz , English 40s to 44s
per imperial quarter; foreign, 34s to 38s per,4Bo;bs.
At Gloucester, the market ruled sxceedinely heavy, and
the transactions in all descriptions of grain were of the
most circumscribed character, with values generally par-
taking of a downward tendency. The arrivals during
the week have been, from New York, in the John, 3,796
barrels of flour; in the Cosmo, from New York, 3,000
barrels of flour, and 200 barrels of corn-meal; from

sacks of oats, and 300 quarters of oats; from Gloucester,
in the Fanny, 500 sacks of flour, and 30 quarters of
barley.
EXETER, DEC. 22.—Cattle market—The market has
been a sort of (holiday affair, the butchers have most of
them been superintending their stalls, and but few dealers
have been in the market, the supply and demand have
therefore both Ist en very slack. Fat beef sold from 8s
to 9s. per score, barreners about ss. Cows and calves,
of which there some of good quality, from 91to 141;
butchers' calves, 6d per lb. The supply of sheep was
less than has been dtiven in for a long period, the whole
number penned not amounting to 250. Fat ewes sold at
sfl per lb; and wethers from 5 to 6d for the very best.
There was a moderate supply of store•pigs. Pork car-
cases—the supply was small, and there were not many
pigs of extraordinary fatness, Mr. Scenes, of Ide, had
the best, prices ranged 88 3d to 9s per score. Pannier—

of the finest description. Turkeys sold at from 5s 6d to 14s

of growers has,been:large,there,bas been,but little business
transacted, the millers purchasing only on a retail scale
and for immediate wants. Old wheat was not much
asked for, but must be quoted at about 7s 6d. For new
wheat the very best samples have made 7s, but the ruling
figure for prime new wheat is about 6s 9d; French and
Belgian white wheat was offered at 54s to 56s per qr of
601bs the bushel. English bailey may be quoted at 4s
to 4s 4d per bushel. A fine parcel of French barley
was on offer at 32s per quarter. Oats sold at from 2s
2d to 2s 6d per bushel. Fine flour must be quoted at
39s to 41s per sack of 2801bs; but this latter quotation
must be considered an extreme figure. •
