BELFAST, DEC. 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 sloe'
sale at 30s. Barley—Prime samples are scarce, and
maintain their value, whilst common runs are 3d to 6"
lower. Oats, in the early part of the week, were diffi-
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
into consumption at 812 s 6d to 817 s 6d per ton.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
MANCHESTER, DEC. 9.—More disposition 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 cheap bargains of
last and the early part of this week seem to have disap-
peered. Other articles steady, with moderate dematd.
WINCHESTER., DEC. 9.—Corti—A moderate supply of
sir; 'o;i-.,2a,5, hut a large ditto of indifferent ditto; prices
wcre no lower for the formt-r, yet an evident dis-
inclination to purchase the latter. The top prices were
141 to 14/ lOs per load of 5 quarters ; secondary ditto,
12/ to 13/ ditto; inferior offered at from 10/ to 11/ ditto.

ecArcely to he 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

declined is to 2s per quarter, some very sweet Pollards
made but 23s 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 off/ring this day their
best at 51 15s per cwt., second quality, at Si 5s ditto,
good Altons were offered at 4/ lOs t') 4/ 15s ditto ; sales

a better trade was done. Of barley there was a fair
supply at last week's rate, and not much business done.
