- - - - -
WAKEFIELD, FEE. I.—The supplies are moderate, and a
fair show of samples from vessels near at hand. We have to
note a further decline of I s per quarter in the value of wheat,
and the demand still limited. Barley is is per quarter lower
for common qualities, fine sorts maintain their previous value.
Oats and shelling are cheaper. In beans no alteration.

EXETER, FEZ. I.—Cattle Market.—There has been a
pretty full supply of all sorts of stock driven in, and though the
demand has not been very brisk, most has been sold. Prices
remain near the same as of late—the very best fat beef has
brought full 2s per score, but good beef has sold at 83 to 8s 6d.
Pork Carcases—The quantity was about equal to that of last
week, put prices were rather lower. Large coarse Pigs 6s per
score ; good pork, 63 5d ; prime ditto, 7s ; and small dairy..
fed pork 7s to 7s 44 per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s 6(1 to
9s each ; geese, 5s Gd to Gs 6d ditto ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5s 64 per
couple ; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s ditto ; hares, 3s each ; pheasants,
5a to 6s per couple ; partridges, 3s ditto ; woodcocks, 4s 6d to
5s ditto; wild ducks, 4s Gd to 5s ditto; widgeons, 3s 6d ditto;
teal, 2s 6d to 3s date ; snipes, is each. Butter, 12d to 13d
tier lb; eggs, 14 to 16 for Is. Corn Exchange, one o'clock—
We have again to report a very depressed and heavy market.
The millers are buying very cautiously, and Si per bushel for
the very best English wheat is the highest price we have heard,
whilst very good wheat is selling at 4s 9d. These prices
have completely drove the foreign wheat out of the market.
Malting barley is about 3s per bushel. Grinding barley, 2s 64
to 2s 9d. Oats is 104 to 2s 2d ditto. Fine Flour, 27s to
29s per sack, but the Lulk of the sales have been made at 2/s.
Wool—Considerable quantities of wool have been offered, but
the buyers will not go above 7d per lb, whilst the sellers are
asking 7fd and Bd. It should, however, be recollected that
the price now given, is an advance of 20 par cent. within the
last three months.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. I.—The: market has
been uniformly dull throughout the week, and to effect sales a
slight concession in prices must be submitted to. The refined
market continues very fair. Rum is in demand, but the short
supply checks business.—Bristol Mercury.
BUTHIN, JAN. 28.—The market to-day was rather thinly
attended, especially by the millers and dealers. The inquiries
for grain were limited, and much remained unsold. The deal-
ings that &el take place were at a further reduction in prices,
the average being about for wheat, 13s ; barley, 7s ; oats, 5s
per hobbet ; fresh butter Is per lb.
JAN. 29.--We have very little change to report in
the position of this day's market. The transactions were on a
strictly retail scale ; no alteration worth Laming occurred in
the quotations of any article, excepting wheat, which had a
further fall in prices. Its average to-day was 13s per hobbet
of 168Ibs. The great fair of the 10th of February (falling on
Sunday) will be held next Monday week.

Messrs. Morison and the Society of Hygeists and Medi-
cal Reformers hereby caution the public that they have
no sort of connexion with the ointments and pills sold in
chemists' and druggists' shops.—British College of
Health, New-road, London, Feb. 1, 1850.
[ADVERTISEMENT ].—The wonderful Cures per-
formed by Holloway's Pills astonish everybody. They remove
complaints which the faculty pronounce incurable, debilitated
constitutions are by their use completely invigorated, the ner-
vous, the delicate, and the weak are made strong, and there is
ILO other medicine known that is so certain and effectual in
curing indigestion and all bilious, liver, and stomach com-
plaints as Holloway's Pills. They are also an excellent re-
medy for dropsical affections and every disease incident to
females, and stands unrivalled as an established family medicine,
as they purify the blood, cleanse the system, strengthen the
body, and reinstate it in the soundest health, and often after
every other remedy has failed.—Sold by all Druggists, and
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

horn hits brought, in addition to a large general cargo of

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Feb. 1.)

SUGAR.—To-day there was much dulness in the West
,ndia Sugar market, and the business concluded ‘,,,r; less
than for some time past for all purposes. Only 70 hhds, &c.
ere disposed of, making for the week 740. The decline in
prices during that time has been 6d, and in some cases is per
cwt.

_
REFlNED.—Although there are sellers of Refined Sugar
at a further reduction, still home dealers have operated
with caution, and supplies continue to get larger, with every
prospect of a further increase. The business concluded has
been much smaller than in the former week, whilst
the rates accepted are for brown Lumps 49s to
498 Gd, Stam'ard Lumps 50s to 508 6d, Tittlers,
low to fine 50s to • 53s 6d, double 54s to 54s
6d, Hambro Loaves 51s to 545, and double 54s 6d to 55s per
cwt.' Theie are free sellers for delivery at these rates, still
few buyers are to be met with. 'Wet Lumps are not much
wanted. Only limited purchases have been made in Pieces,
and prices are on the decline. In the market for Treacle
there has been much dulness, whilst a desire is evinced
to sell. Bastards have been purchased with caution,
and a desire is evinced to sell, brown at 29s
to 323, and yellow at 33s to 375. For Bonded
Crushed Sugar the market has assumed a dull aspect, and
In ices have taken a downward turn. The limited business
concluded has been at 293 6d to 30s 6d per cwt., whilst for
delivery few purchasers are to be met with, as lower.rates:
are expected.to prevail. Wet Lumps are not much wanted,:
and can be bought at 22s to 28s Gd. The sales
made in; Treacle have been limited for export, and
sellers are willing to accept 13s Gd to 14s 6d, as the quantity
on offer is larger than for some time past. Bastards have
been dealt in with caution at 18s to 21s, and Pieces 'at 22s to
26d for low to fine. In Foreign Crushed Sugar the -sales
made have been small, and more desire is evinced to sell it'
from 26s 6d to 29s for low to fine. The market is firm for
Loaves:
MAunmus.—This afternoon there was not much desire
evinced. to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and former rates
were barely supported. At public sale 821 bags only in part
found buyers, yellow at 36s 6d to 37s 61, better sort 38s to
395, fine brown 34 Gd to 365, andwashed '34s 6d to 38s -per,
cwt.'

acceded. to; tine strong white went at 43s to 43s 6d, damp
and washed 42s 6d to 43s 6d, low and mid soft yellow 33s
to 365, and good damp brown 30s. Of Bengal 291 bags
went at barely former rates; strong yellow at 42s 6d to 435,
soft ditto 34s to 39s 6d, and brown 30s 6d to 34s per cwt.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty little business was concluded
in duty paid or bonded parcels: at former rates there are
free sellers. _ _ _

-----
MOLAIISES.-Full rates are insisted upon for West India,
still few purchases have been made by private treaty this
week, and there has been no public sale, but there is not a
larger supply at market. The rates asked for Bengal
Treacle are 14s to 14s 6d, but few buyers are to be met with.
COCOA.—Holders of West India have been more disposed
to realise this week, and supplied the market more freely.
The trade have not evinced much desire to realise, and prices
suffered a decline of 2s per cwt; at public sale 441 bags
Trinidad were sold at 42s to 43s for grey, and at 45s to
46s 6d for red.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Plantation Cey.
lon Coffee offered at public sale amounted to 87 casks 2,269
bags, but holders not being disposed to sell at former rates

68s, and superior sort at 75s to 77s ; the few parcels
sold realised from 57s to 65s 6d. Of Mocha 149 bales went
at 70s to 75s long berry, clean garbled, which are rather
lower rates. Of Native Ceylon 170 bags were partly sold at

Coffee closed this afternoon at Gls to 62s per cwt, and about

4,000 bags disposed of.
TEA.—For common and good ordinary Congou the market
has assumed a dull aspect, and the rates are id per lb. under
those current two weeks back. The value is now 10d to,
10d. Full terms are, however, obtained for medium
and goL d sorts, and many parcels have been taken for
town and country consumption at from lid to is 4d;
there has been a good demand for fine kinds, at from
Is 5d to is 9d. For Scented Caper and Pekoe Tea
there are now few buyers, and some holders are disposed to
accept rather lower rates. In common Green Tea large
purchases have been made, and the rates of last week are
well supported, whilst in some case a small advance has
been paid. Ot good and fine qualities many parcels' have
been disposed of, whilst the rates given are fully equal to last
Friday.
Rim—To-day there was not much demand for East Indai
Rice, and rather lower rates are acceded to. At public sale
4,084 bags Bengal only in part found buyers, fine white at
I ls, good lOs to lOs 6d, and broken Ss to 8s 6d, damaged 7s
to lOs ; 500 bags Madras sold, pinky white 9s, and native
grain Bs.6d, whilst 540 bags low white Bombay taken in at
8s per cwt.

the public sales of 1,483 bags 26 robins when at rather lower
rates; prices ruled from 4d to 41401 for sound, better sort 414 d
to 4%d, but the whole found buyers.
&guns. --There is much firmness in the market for Lee-
ward Island Rum, and a good demand exists, whilst the rates
paid are is 6d to Is 61/2d proof, and the supply is much re-
duced. East India is wanted, and few sellers are to be met
with under I s 5d proof. A good demand exists for Deme-
rara at 2s 3d to 2s 6d, and there are not free sellers. Ja-
maica is held with firmness, and several parcels have been
sold at 2s 8d to 3s 3d for 28 to 33 per cent over proof, and
at 3s 4d to 3s 10d for better sort, whilst a further advance is
likely to take place. In Brandy there has been little business
done this week, and former rates are with difficulty supported.
For British made Spirit the value is the same as on this day
week. In Geneva little has been done, and prices are looking
down.
COCIIINEAL.—To-day there was a fair demand, and former
rates are supported. At auction 118 bags of TenerifFe were
sold at 4s Id to 4s 4d ; 9 bags Honduras black 4s 8d to 5s 2d
per lb.
INDtGo.--For East India the home and export demand
has been less active this week, whilst in some cases the rates
taken have been rather under those that existed on this day
week. For public sale on the 12th the quantity has been in-
creased to 14,120 chests.
TALLOW. There are ready sellers of Russian on the spot,
and prices have declined to 38s to 38s 6d per cwt for fine
P.Y.C., still the trade operated with caution, as an
impression exists that a further reduction will take place.
For delivery in last three months of the year there are sellers
of new at 39s 6d to 408, but few buyers are to be found.
Home melted is not much wanted, and can be obtained upon
lower terms. Other kinds of Tallow are in plentiful supply,
and can be obtained at a reduction. There are free sellers of
rough Fat at the rates quoted. •
Ort.s.—To day at auction 835 pkgs South American Tal-
low only in part sold at 35s to 375; 600 casks of Sydney 34s
to 37s 6d; 20 cases- of East India 32s 9d to 375; and 150

ther lower rates.
