PRICE SEVEN PENCE

COUNTRY MARKETS.

Owing to the present declining price in corn, a re-
spectable baker at Mansfield has announced, by the
town crier, that good seconds flour, may be bad at 20J.
per stone.

Wheat was so cheap in Loughborough market, OH
Thursday the Bth instant, that one of the principal
factors bought a lot, consisting of njne quarters and
five strikes. to weigh eighteen Acme, neat, at only
RIGHTSEN SHILLINGS A QUARTER! Reckoning accord-
ing to Winchestermeasure alone, the prioe was estimated
at only'aboutfifieers shillings a quarter.—(Nottingliant
Review.) •
Noumea, AUGUST 16.—The attendance at our market
was not large on Saturday, on account of the !mire! ;
some samples of New Wheat were offered of very floe
quality—weight near eighteen stone per month. Wheat
again declined two shillings per comb, and barley ad-
nasal one shilling.
There were from thirty to filly lots of Scots Cattle nit
the Hill, and many Homebred.; prices have very little
varied of late, and are complained of by graziers as he-
ing too high, the price of fat beasts considered. The
sheep-pens ware well occupied; this kind of stock holds
very low.

a swum Acuctsv 15.—Notwithstanding the farmers
being busy getting in their L :, our Market conti-
nues to be abundantly supplied with Worst; to effect
sales low prices are submitted to, particularly Old, say
fourabillings to six shillings per quarter cheaper; bare
had several samples of New Wheat at Market, the qua-
lity being very fine, were bought up rather eagerly by
our millers at 40 to 445. In other groin note no altera-
tion from last week.

LYNN, Accusr Is.—We had a pretty full attendance
of farmers at Market on Tuesday, and a good supply of
New Wheat—the quality very fine, and in consevenee
of the reduction in Mark-lane, Wheat was duel sale, and
lower fire shillings to six shillings per quarter. No
Barley at Market. In other articles little doing. Flour
as last week.

At Len•es Corn-market, on Tuesday last, the prices
were—White wheat, 4Us. to 50s. ; mixed ditto 365. ; and
red ditto, 361. per quarter.
Lewes Stock-market, on Tuosday-last, was well sup-
plied; but sales were dull, at reduced prices.
At the last Guildford Corn-market, there was the great•
est quantity of• wheat offered for sale ever remembered.
Upwards of 500 loads of wheat were pi tched at Horsham
on Saturday last, and offered for sale.

ARUNDRI.' CORN MARKET.—Wheat, 71. per load ;
Barley, las. to 19s. per quarter ; WO, 164. to 20s. per
quarter.

Grain were returned by the Inspector for the past week,

quarter.

Tn., UI .—From all parts of the United
Kingdom accounts agree in stating the present liar-
vest to be most abundant. The late broken and 5b0...-
ery weather has done very little injury to the grain.
which looks ettreusely well, and is much less laid than
might have been expected. The wheat harvest is fast
extending throughout this neighbourhood, and in the
course of next week, should the present fine weatlu.r
continue, will be general. Many sh hare b. o
sogaged ; the wages given, from Is. 61. to Is 81 per
day. The partial rains during the last fortnight hare
rendered the housing of bay both difficult and clien•
sire; and there is still a coesiderahle quantity of grass
reatain'ng uncut. The potatoe crop proves largo
in quantity, and in quality excellent, and a greater abun-
dance of fruit has never been known.—(Carlirle
Journal.)

The crop In the Highlands generally promises well ;
on t•'ie west coast appearances were never rn•ars fa-
►ourable. Barley harvest commenced on the farms of
Mill, of Laianey and Pitmedden, in the parish of Kin-
cardine O'Neil, on Tuesday, the 30th ult. sod in a it. e•
days harvest will be general in that. qrsarter.—(Ei:io-
burgh paper.)
NIWC•IITL.Z. AUG. 17.—Tke b t has now gene-
rally commenced in this neighbourhood.
The wheat h in Cornwall is nearly concha led ;
we learn that the crop is rattail bsyoud an average one,
and that the quality of the grain is excel:rot. TLe
barley and oat crop is stated to be much below a.s
ge one.—(West Briton.)
Mr. Stone, one of the principal farmers in the
parish of Pramf.eld, has adopted the plan of buying
wheat of his brother farmers, and haying it ground
and dressed by a neighbouring miller, whereby be is
enabled to retail to his numerous parishioner.. good
flour, at from hi. to 10d. per gallon.—(Cri,;h:•»n
Herald)
We are informed, by several correspondents, thst
the pr;ne of (lour is out of all proportion to toa oft
wheat.--(Ioid.)
