wise continuo insignificant; andfrom Ireland the supplies
(except of oatmeal, of which article 14,686 loads are re-
ported), are this week on a very moderate scale. Of
wheat and flour from abroad the imports arc tolerably
extensive. Wo cannot -report any improvement in the
churact-r of our market this morning, at ahich the
trassactions in every article were to a very limited
amount. Wheat was offered at u reductiOn of about 2d.
per 70:b, and flour might have been purchased at Is per
sack below the currency of this day se'nnight. Oats must
also be noted the turn lower, and oatmeal declined 6d
der load.
COLCHESTER, Nov. 18.—The continued fine weather
of this week, which has enabled the farmers to complete
their wheat sowing under satisfactory circumstances,
an,' to appear in the market again with their supplies,
has produced an important effect upon prices throughout
the district, which to-day have been 3s per quarter
lo er, with a dull sale even at that reduction, white being
52, to 555; red, 42s to 48s. Barley was also cheaper
2s; and white peas, since we list noticed them, have been
reduced 5s per quarter.
At Chelmsford yesterday the reduction in wheat was
full 3a per quarter ; white was 54s to 58s ; red, 45s to
48s. Barley fell 2s per quarter, best malting being 28s
to 345.
At Witham, at Dunnsow, and the other leading
markets of the county, both wheat and barley have this
week been reduced from 2s to 2s 6d per quarter.
In the principal markets of Suffolk there has been a
similar reduction in price, particularly at those held
within the last two days.
At Woodbridge the decline was 2s for wheat and 3s
for even the finest malting barley ; beans were scarce,
and rather dearer.
At Bury the fall in wheat did not exceed is ; inferior
samples of barley were 2s, the best is cheaper.
At Stowmarket the supplies were small, the farmers
in that district not having completed seeding; but wheat
was very dull ; barley is to 2* per quarter lower.
In the markets of Herts a reduction of is 6d for
wheat and 2s for barley has been established. The ave-
rage price at Bishop Stortford on Thursday was--wheat,
49., 2 d ; barley, 35s Sid; oats, 25s Of ; beans, 35a 74e1.
WORCESTER, Nov. 18.—Our market to-day was not
numerously attended, the farmers eagerly availing theme
selves of the fine weather, and being very busy in seed-
sowing. Generally the market was easier for all kinds
of grain, but the best descriptions of English wheat
maintained the currency of this day se'nnight. Old
white English wheat is still worth 1/ to a guinea the bag,
and red 18s 6d. New must be quoted at 6d per bag less
money - than last week. Foreign from 15s to 19s per
bag, with a slow sale. Barley is rather less valuable.
Grinding qualities 3s 6d, and malting 4s 6d per bushel.
Malt as before, viz., Ss 6d to 9s per bushel. In oats,
beans' and peas, a decline of is per quarter may be
noticed. Old English oats, 3s 6d to 4s 3d per bushel ;
new, 3s to 3s 3d ; Irish, 3s to 3a 6d. Old English
Leans, 18s per bag ; foreign 14s to lss per bag. Good
boffins,: peas, as to 6s 9d per bushel ; feeding qualities,
53. Winter vetches, lOs to 12 per bushel.
At Stourbridge market yesterday a more decided de-
cline in prices was noticeable, the attendance of farmers
being better. Wheat declined is per quarter for all de-
scriptious, both new and old. Barley also met with a
dull sale, at a similar reduction, both in grinding and
malting. In oats there was a less decided fall, the bet-
ter sorts maintaining their former value. Peas and
beans in slow request.
At Stratford-on-Avon market yesterday there was a
a decline in the value of wheat and other grain of about
Is per quarter, except for the finest samples of English
wheat, which maintained last; quotations.
At Wolverhampton market there was a large supply
of samples exhibited, and.this, taken in connexion with
the fall in the London market, caused a decline in the
value of wheat of Is to 23 per quarter. In barley also
a decline of is per quarter had to be submitted to in
order to effect sales. Other grain ruled dull at a small
reduction on last week's rates.
At Atherstone the business done was to a limited ex-
tent only, and this at a reduction on the rates of all
kinds of grain. New English Wheat fetched from 185
per bag for red to 19s for best white samples; old Eng-
lish 20s to 21s per bag. Barley sold at from 33s to 35s
per quarter, with little business doing. Oats 25s to 263
per quarter tor new; and old, 31s to 32s per quarter.
At Kidderminster market, on Thursday, the supply
of wheat was above the average at this time of the year,
and samples of barley were also freely in offer. In
barley and other grain a decline of is to 2s per quarter
must- be noticed.--

The past week has been altogether dry and fine, af-
fording unusual advantages which have not been ne•
glected for the sowing of grain. The farmers have not
had so busy a time for a long while past, and in passing
through the country the greatest activity in agricultural
pursuits has been observable on all hands. The pro-
tracted season of wet,had rendered this a moat critical
season for seed sowing, and the fine weather has been,
in the language of the agriculturists themselves, " the
salvaion of the country." The ground is now, in most
places, in excellent cenditiOn`for working.
CORK, Nov. 17.—The weather during the week has
been very fine, and dry, but cold. To-day however,
thick rein falls. Owing to the long continued prevalence
of easterly winds we have but few arrivals of foreign grain.
The supplies of home grain are moderate of oats and
barley, and. as regards wheat very small, the receipts for
the week being:—Wheat, 1,183 brls at 19s to 27s 6d
per barrel; barley, 3,084 brls at 75 to 15s 6d per
barrel; oats, 11,244 brls at 7s to Ils 4d per barrel;
The trade in wheat, notwithstanding the smallness of the
supply, is slow, and prices manifest rather a downward
tendency. In prepared Irish and foreign wheat there
is so very little doing tbat prices must be regarded as
quite nominal. We note but little change in the value
of Barley. The market, however is very quiet. In
prepared Barley we have no transactions of any moment
to report. Oats also are nominally of the value of last
week, but the market is excessively dull; and the trade
in this article, as in the first two mentioned. is devoid of
activity. Prepared Oats (Blacks) are selling in the
outports at 10s. 6d. per barrel, free on board. Here
the price is nominally 1 ls., but we question if
any business has been done at that figure. Al-
though Factors, on Saturday last, reduced the price
of some flours is per cwt., they have not been able to
make any progress with sales of the article during the
week. The trade is exceedingly dull, and, as stocks ac-
cumulate, it is difficult to force a trade. Coarse flours
continue to meet a fair demand, but even for these de-
scriptions the tendency of prices is downwards. Indian
corn has been sold to a fair extent, but in some cases at
a decline of Is 6d per ton. We quote prices 8/ los to
81 17s 6d per ton. The improvement in the demand for
the raw toaterial has not however extended to the manu-
factured article, Indian meal still continuing a slow sale
at late prices.
BELFAST. Nov. 16.—The supplies of grain at mar-
ket are moderate, and of oatmeal abundant. Wheat.--s
The condition of wheat forward this week is so much
better than previously that, ;although prices are un-
changed, yet the value is fully 6d better than last week;
some small parcels 61 fine prepared white wheat sell at
11/ 15s per ton, and red at lOs less. Flour is unchanged
in value, but dull of sale. Barley- sells slowly at former
rates. Oats are unchanged in price, but the improved
condition makes them 2d to 3d better value. Oatmeal
has declined 2d to 3d, but sales are readily made at this
decline. Indian corn is now in few hands, and yet is
slow sale at 812 s 6d to 81 7a 6d pet ton yellow: and 81
to 815 s for white.
