SALFORI).CATT LE MARKET, Dec. 15.
There Was a very indifferent show of Beasts to-day, and the
quality unusdally poor.. Of Sheep the Supply was about equal to
that of last week, and the quality generally infirm. Prime Heel
was easily gold at lid to 63d, middling 50 to (id, and prime Mutton
50 to 7d, Ewes and middling 6d to 63d per lb. Nearly every thing
sold.

MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND

TALLOW MARKET, Dac. 15.
Short-horned Hides sold this day at 2,id per lb, Irish ditto 6o to
70lbs 3d per lb, above ditto .3}d per lb ; large skins (Irish and York-
shire) 4s to 5s per 721bs ; liish Sheep skins is gd to is; Cheviots
and half-bred is to 3s 6d ; Scotch is to is 6d. Tallow Is per stone

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, DEC. 15.
The few transactions reported in Wheat are under the rates of
last market day; some soft Odessa having changed hands at 8s per
62155, and old English at Is to Is Bcl per 621bs. Malting and
grinding Barley firmer, but we have no life in the trade. Some
Oats have Sound buyers at former prices. In Beans and Peas very
little doing.

LIVERPOOL COTTON. MARKET, DEC. 14.
The demand has been so limited to-day that the sales do
not exceedlsoo bales, at barely :yesterday's prices. There
is'an evident desire to push off „the' new Bowed, but buyers
look very' hy at them, consequently little progress is made
in sales,- and what little is done is at lower prices, for the old
crop. s'

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
DECEMBER 16.
. _

Boisterous and foul weather still continues to prevent vessels
from either getting into, or leaving this port. In consequence of
which the stock of Potatoes on board vessels is near exhausted—
the town and country dealers buying very freely for these two
days psst—influenced by this cause, prices keep gradually ad.
vitncing.

Mani, Scotch and Irish Cups Is Ipd to 2s per gm.
The demand for all descriptions of local farm produce is also
better, and prices a shade higher.

Pink-eye Potatoes 2s to 25 4d ; Cups is gd to 2s; Short Tops
Is 7d to Is 10d; Cattle Is 4d to Is 7d per golb. Turnips 20s to
22s rd; Manglewurzle 20s; Carrots 40s to 50s per ton. Old Hay

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 13.
Although the supply of English Wheat exceeded that of last
week, it was moderate for the season, and the condition .much
worse than we have hitherto seen it; the relative value was much
the same as last week,
.and it is only dry samples that will reach
our utmost quotations. We do not observe any alteration in
foreign, which meets with a steady demand in retail quantities.
There is some inquiry for Mediterranean in bond at the same rates.
Barley is a dull sale and rather lower. Peas of all sorts are Is to
2s cheaper, and Beans are selling at a reduction of Is per quarter.
Good Oats realised the same prices, but the inferior Irish are lower
and much neglected.

liVnismesnAy, Dec. 15.
The supplies are considerable this morning of every article ex-
cepting English Wheat, but the trade is extremely dull at the rates
of the last market day. The samples remain still so wet and unfit
for use without admixture with foreign Wheat, and this lattea
article is held at prices so excessive, that the business is conse-
quently confined to the most pressing supplies for immediate use.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 14.
Prevented by frequent gales of wind, we have scarcely any
Grain up Coastwise since this day week, and except a further
good supply of Oatmeal, the receipts from Ireland arc very
moderate. Of Foreign and Canadian produce, the arrivals
fresh in contain 5510 qrs. of Wheat, a few parcels of Beans
and Pease, with 3382 barrels of Flour, as specified below.
Although we bad a tolerable number of town and country
millers at this day's market, the demand for all descriptions
of free Wheat continued upon a very moderate scale ; holders
in general, however, remained firm, and the currency of this
day week was supported in the sales which took place. A few
further parcels of bonded Wheat, in granary and to arrive,
have. changed hands, on terms rather exceeding the rates
stated on Friday.
Free States and Canadian Flour continued to meet a steady
sale at the advance above mentioned ; but English and Irish,
remaining nearly without inquiry, scarcely sustained former
prices. _ _

Malting Barley continued in very languid request, at the
reduced rates of Friday ; and grinding parcels were nominally
a shade lower in value.—Mult was dull, and Is. per quarter
cheaper.—Beans were in moderate demand, and the turn
dearer.

Oats, appearing to claim somewhat more attention than of
late, fully maintained our last quotations, and very fine qua-
lities, if at hand, would have realised some amendment.
Oatmeal, upon an improved demand, commanded 3d to Gd
per 210 lbs, over the rates of this day se'nnight.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 13.
This having been the day appointed for holding the great Christ.
mas market, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up from our grazing dis.
triets were brought in at an early hour, and we have to notice that
they exceeded those received at the corresponding market last year
by upwards of 600. Notwithstanding the immense collection of
stock, so perfect were the arrangements effected by the market
committee for its reception, that the confusion usually ensuing on
these occasions were in a great measure avoided; in fact, the only
drawback upon the whole proceedings was the unpropitious and
unfavourable state of the weather. Throughout the day crowds of
visitors came pouring in from all parts, who expressed their
gratifidation at the prodigiously fine animals submitted for sale.
The main strength of the supply of Beasts was derived from
Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, Northamptonshire. and Warwiekshire,
with no inconsiderable portion from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex.
With respect to the general quality of Beasts, it must be admitted
that it was seldom, if ever, equalled, and, when the late rains and
the continued epidemic are.considered, it must be allowed that this
circumstance reflected the greatest credit upon the graziers.
In noticing the best stock in the market, we must not fail to
state that the IS shott-horns, the property of Sir Charles Knightley,
were extraordinary tine creatures, and every point bore the strictest
scrutiny. We must regret, and so must every member of the club,
that they were not shown in Baker.street.
_ .

Notwithstanding the attendance of both London and country
buyers, hut more particularly that of the former, was numerous,
the beef trade comparatively speaking, was dull, yet there was a
slight improvement, say of 2d per 81bs. upon the currencies noted
on Monday last, and a clearance was not effected without difficulty.
There was a fair average number of Sheep on the market. Prime
old Downs sold at last week's currencies, but in other kinds next to
nothing was passing. Calves were in short suppiy and sluggish in.
quiry at late retes. It should be borne i❑ mind that our general
figures for Beef do not refer to the prize stock, which, of course,
sold at higher rates.
