We have advices from New York to the 12th inst. if?
operations of shippers bad been entirely suspended, owing

the dull accounts from England. In France Flour has
vanced 1 to 2 francs per sack; whilst in the Baltic and 51Mack
Sea ports holders of Wheat are firmer in the demands for
spring shipment.
The arrivals of English grain up to our markets last Week,
were small. From abroad we received 19,475 quarters ot
Wheat, 2.397 Barley, 10,124 Oats, 1,930 Beans, 220 Tare.
3,298 Linseed, 867 Rape Seed, 97 Sundry Seeds, and 6,5751

Numerous orders came to hand from the east coast to ship
Wheat during the months of April and May, but the rate,
demanded were mostly too high to admit of much specula-
tion ; hence very few sales took place. wheat
There were very few really fine samples of Foreign ln
on offer, but the supply of inferior parcels was large. "."
the former there was more doing, but we have no improve,
ment to notice in the quotations. Damp qualities were veil
dull, at late rates.
The aggregate supply of Barley, even including the
foreign receipts, was limited. Malting parcels, as well ag
those fit for seed purposes, moved off freely, at extreme
prices, whilst those of all other kinds were well supported.
Althoegh the supply of Malt ready for delivery was some"
what on the increase, that article moved off steadily, and
prices were firm in every instance.
We had a fair show of Irish Oat samples, but that of
English, Scotch, and foreign, was trifling. On the whole,
the Oat trade ruled firm, and the quotations were quite as
high as last week.
In Beans very little business was trasacted, at late rates.
White Peas were steady. In other kinds next to nothing
doing.

Floating cargoes of Indian Corn ware freely offered.
The Flour trade may be considered steady, at last week's
prices. The nominal top price of English was 40s per 2801b5.

About 1,600 carcases of Meat arrived up to these markets
last week from various parts of the country. The supplies
on sale slaughtered in the metropolis are not to say exten-
sive; nevertheless, owing to the changeable state of the
weather, the demand is in a very sluggish state, on the fol-
lowing terms:—

Since Monday last nearly 3,000 tons of Potatoes have
arrived for these markets coastwise and by land carriage
and scarcely any of which have shown any signs of disease;
indeed, it is a general observation that Potatoes have never
come to hand in better condition or in greater abundance
than during the last
i four months. The quantity grown last
