quantity offering from vessels at hand, Our millers showedino
position to increase their stocks, and we have to report a slow sale

samples of old and new. The quantity of Barley offering exceeds
the demand, and this article again declined is per quarter. Beans

The WheatLONDON trade is without X
variationCHANGE from Monday, but very
slow on that day's terms. The trade for Barley is as dull as
possible. Inferior Irish Oats are the turn cheaper. Beans, Peas,
and other grain without alteration.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 3.
The continuence of wet weather prevents a good attendance of
butchers, and those at market were very backward in consequence
in purchasing. The general trade was therefore very dull, and
prices in all instances declined 3d per stone. Inferior Beef sold
heavily at 3s 2d, and prime Scots 4s 4d. Prime Mutto❑ (Downs)
realised 4s Bd. Many head remained unsold at the close. (Per

fresher sorts of Butter, which being very scarce, continue to com-
mand a high figure. On the whole, however, there is much apathy
in the trade, nor need any brisk speculative operations be expected
until Christmas has turned. Belfast, Kilkenny, and Carlow Butter
we quote at 100 s to 105 s. Derry, Coleraine, &c. 94s to 98s.
Banbridge are 90s to 925. Pickled Butter very quiet, seconds 87s to
88s. Pickled Butter very quiet, seconds 87s to 88s. Provisions
