and Wor-
cester markets on the 11th, the wheat trade ruled dull,
but lower prices were not submitted to for any descrip-
tion, except secondary foreign. Barley nominally un-
altered. Oats 6d per quarter cheaper. B. ans firmly
maintained their value. Peas fully as dear. During
the present week, in consequence of the decline in
Mark-lane, the transactions in wheat have been on a
very limited scale, but holders are generally firm ; yet
sales to any extent could not be effected, even by sub-
mitting to a reduction of is to 2s per quarter. Barb y
offerinc, at a decline of is per quarter. A few sales
have been effected in oats at 6d per quarter under
former currency. Not many beans offering, still the
turn is in favour of the buyer. Peas, except prime
boilers, less inquired for. At this day's market there
was a good supply of wheat, and the trade ruled dull at
a reduction of fully Is per quarter. Flue barley is to
23 per quarter lower. Other descriptions nearly main-
tained their value, and heavy grinding a good deal in-
quired for. Oats Is per quarter lower. Beans held for
former prices. Peas rather cheaper.
BRISTOL, Nov. 16 —The supply of English wheat is
less than of late, and the condition of the new much im-
proved, and there is a tolerable demand at about the
same rates as last week. Prices are firmly supported in
foreign wheats, and in some instances exceeded on
actual sales. The stocks of free collectively at this port
are very moderate in reference to the period to be sup.
plied between this and February, when the trade comes
to is per quarter duty. For flour there has been a
better consumptive demand at unaltered prices. Malt-
ing barley is fully is per quarter lower on
best English qualities, and from Is to 2s per
quarter on general runs, and also on foreign,
although the supplies to this time continue very deficient,
but considerable arrivals are known to be at hand.
Grinding barley remains unvaried and in fair request.
The oat trade is very dull, and again from 6d to is per
quarter lower. Beans are firm and rather dearer.
Wheat; English, old, 56s to 60s per imperial quarter;
ditto, new, 46s to 50s per imperial quarter; ditto, foreign,
white, 57s to 60s; ditto, red, fine qualities, 54s to 575;
ditte, ordinary, 50s to 565; ditto hard, 41s to 52s per
480 lbs. Barley: English making, 34s to 38s rer impe-
rial quarter; ditto and foreign grinding, 25s to 80s per
400 lbs. ats: Devon and Welsh, 188 to 183 6d per
imperial quarter; Irish white, 20s to 20s 6d per 320 lbs:
ditto black, 16s to 19s per imperial quarter; ditto foreign,
none. Beans: English, 40s to 44s per imperial quarter.
Flour: English seconds, 38s to 4ls per sack; ditto
American, &c.,, sweet, 29s to 31s per barrel. In
the Gloucester market the demand for all
descriptions of wheat has been of a very re-
stricted character, and sales have generally been at a
decline of is per quarter, excepting on choice samples of
English new, which have nearly sustained previous quo-
tations. A pause has occurred in the malting barley
trade ; fine parcels must be noted Is and o.her kinds 2s
per quarter cheaper, with a slow sale thereat. Grinding
moves off in moderate quantities at former rates. The
supply of oats is large, and to effect sales an abatement
of from 6d to Is per quarter has to be conceded. Egyp
tian beans as last reported. The averages have been,
according to the Corn Inspector's return for the week :
wheat 50s oats 19s Bd, barley 33s 4d, beans 48s. , The
arrivals this week have been as follow :—ln the Caine,
from Rouen, 90 tons of potatoes ; in the Juverna, from
Cork, 200 quarters of oats, 5 tons 5 cwt of oatmeal, 15

ROMSEY, Nov. 16.—Wheat was offered at a decline of

lOs per load; the quality, generally, much improved
since the dry frosty weather set in; finest heavy this day
sold at 151 per load; good red wheats sold at 141 ditto;
second quality at 131 ditto. Barley was offered much
lower, excepting for some best Chevalier, fit for malting
—such retained its price. Prices ran from 28s to 35s
per quarter. Malt was offered at last week's prices.
Beans and peas were Is 16 2s per quarter lower. Oats of
slow sale. Best Polands 26s per quarter; common, 20s
to 23s ditto. Rye and tares as last quotation.
ANDOVER LARGE NOVEMBER FAIR, Nov. 16.—Sheep
—Although the fair is not said to begin till to-morrow,
there was a considerable number of sheep sold this after-
noon, several large contract dealers from Essex and the
vicinity of London being down to select fine ewes, lambs,
and tegs, which they succeeded in getting at the prices
given at the last fair at Appleshaw, on the Ch in-
stant: the Down ewes made from 32s to 36s each,
ditto lambs, 26s to 30s each. To-morrow it is
expected there will be more sheep penned than has
been witnessed for some years, the turnip and grass
fields around Andover being already occupied by
large flocks from a distance, some out of Wilts and Dor-
set, as well as different parts of Hants. From the num-
ber of arrivals in Andover this afternoon, by the diffe-
rent coaches from the Andover-road Station, a good trade
is looked for. some thinking' that best sheep will be
higher. So full is the town that many have to get beds
in the neighbourhood, some going to Waybill, Whit-
church, and Hurstbourne for such accommodation.
Horses were shown and some sales effected, yet the chief
business will be on the morrow and Saturday. Beasts:
a great many store oxen and other cattle already ar-
rived. Cheese: the supply pitched but very short ; the
toll charged to this commodity at Andover having driven
away the cheese-factors to other fairs, such as Basing-
stoke, where nothing Is charged for pitching. Hops: a
great. many pockets are in Andover and Weyhill,
awaiting this lair ; some were offered this day, yet but
few pockets found purchasers. The holders asked more
money by from lOs to 20s per cwt. than what was given
at the large Weyhill fair. Some appeared disposed to
purchase best Farnhams and country, yet were not wil-
ling to submit to the increased demand.
GLASGOW, Nov. 15.—Since our last about 1,672 quar-
ters of wheat and 644 quarters of peas arrived at Grange-
mouth from the European continent. Coastwise and
from Ireland our supplies have been light, and none have
reached the Clyde from Transatlantic ports. Business
during the week ruled dull, and the few sales effected
were, in most instances, in favour of the buyer. This
day's market was slenderly attended. Wheat sold 6d
lower per boll, and flour declined 6d per barrel and is
per sack. Barley was less inquired after, and to make
progress an abatement required to be submitted to. Oats
and oatmeal were in slow request, at barely last week's
rates. Beans and peas unchanged.
LunLow.—THE NEW FAIR.—On Monday last the
new fair took place, and we are happy to inform our
agricultural friends, dealers, and graziers, that there was
an extraordinary good show of prime fat and store
beasts, a large quantity of sheep, and a fair sample of
pigs. There was but a middling show of horses, and
most of them of inferior quality. The attendance of
dealers was not very numerous, and we can only account
for it from the fact of its being Worcester fair day, and,
this being but a new fair, dealers, doubtless, did not an-
ticipate there being anything like the quantity and qua-
lity of stock offered for sale; but the newly-established
fair bids well not to be surpassed by any of the old one,
held in the torn. There was a good amount of business
done at the late prices. •
WREXHAM CHEESE FAIR.—At this fair, held on
Tuesday, the 7th instant, there was a large quantity of
cheese of superior quality offered for sale. Prices ranged

from 45s to 50s foiusefuleheese, and from 50s to to 533
for fine quality ; but cheese of real first-rate quality
and appearance sold from 55s to 60s. Excepting a few
lots of skim, which , are still out of demand, the whole
was bought up rather briskly, and prices seemvd to
prove satisfactory alike to farmers ani factors; from
which circumstance it might be predicted that the next
fair on the first Tuesday in February, will have a vf ry
large supply of prime cheese, and a large attendance of
the most respectable and influential factors.—Eddowes'

THE YOUNG COUNTESS. BY MRS. TROLLOPE.—
Mrs. Trollope's well-known skill in portraiture, her keen
insight into motives, and her unsparing revelations of
the selfish side of humanity, are as conspicuous in this
novel as in any of her former productions. Mrs. Trol-
lope may disclaim personalities as much as she pleases;
she may protest that her characters are not drawn from
life, and that they are purely ideal conceptions; yet the
impression of likeness is so strongly stamped upon them
all, that, without doubting her word, we are forced to
believe that she has unconsciously transferred to her
pages the personages with whom a life of varied experi-
ence has brought her into contact. Many models must
have sat to her for the gallery of portraits she has here
collected.— Britannia.
