MARKETS AND FAIRS.

CORN tecriastna, 12 O'CLOCIL.—The supply of last
week, of all sorts of grain, was good. Trds morn nar,
there was a tolerably large arrival or Wheat, from E.
sex and Kent, but that of other sorts of corn is but mo-
derate. Prime samples of Wheat again soil freely, at.
an improvement of Is. per qr. on the price* of last Att.m-
day. Barley is not plentiful, and fully support the
terms of last week. There is a demand this morning
for Keane, at last week's prices ; and for grey Peas, on
as good terms as our last quotations.-13oiling Peas sell
very heavily, and are from Is. to 24. per qr. cheaper. Oats
have declined in value, since last Aland:ly, Is. per qr.
but this morning, there is a fair trade, at the above re.
'doction. Flour remains unaltered ; and Rape
supports our last quotation.
SMITIIVIED SIARXET, OCT. 28.—Since Christmas we
have not witnessed so full a market of all descriptions of
tattle, as this day. The quantity of Oxen, in particular,
was very large, and owing to their being a dull trade
they were almost nnsaleable ; we were sorry to observe
amongst them a great number of very Ivan and inferior
sorts, which she ws that the distress of the country rums
Farm. rs to sen I the n to market, in their present state.
(I,md Cattle obtained last weeks prices; but those of ia.
feriur qualities culld nut be sold at any price.

The fair at Timagel, Cornwall. nn Monday last, was
abundantly snpplied with cattle; the slow is said to have
exceeded any thini t.rea th.rw int the last ?AI yews.
The buyers were nnforuna•ely le.. nnmeruns than the
sellers, so that, I' (pry witively. Ist:t few purchases were
made, and these at very Ite.V pri es.
The shew of horned cattle, including Welch, Devon,
and country beasts, at kotherfield P 44, on Monday list,
was the largest remetnhered for many years, but a want
'of money, or no want of stork, rendered the lousiness of
the Fair unprecedentrdly dull. A very small part of the
large supply, found pnrchasers.
Hailshans market, on Wednesday, was e9nally dull,
v►ry little stock having been sold, except to jobbers, for
the London markets. _ .

At Lewes cornonarket, on Tuesday last, the prices
were—White wheat, 4 is. to 465.; ditto new, 425. to 465.;
mixed ditto, 40s. to 42.. ; red tlitto, 3.24. to 4115.; ditto
new, 3Ss. ; oats, ISs. to 215.; beans, 30s. to 31i. ; peas,
80.„—per varier.
Chichester Corn market. —The averages of the Corn
Inspector's returns of the I sit week are—:vilest!, 34..614;
barley, 265. 101.1. ; nits 194. pease, 311 s. 10d. ; and !leant
301. per quarter —Dine statement of the Corn Inspector's
return last week :tumid have been peas 31s. Id instead
of oats.
The several hints lately thrown out respecting the
price of flour, seem to have done some grind,—the price
of that essential article being now reduced to something
like a proportion with the price of wheat. Very fine
flour is now to be bought in the vicinity of Lewes at Bd.
per gallon.
The gradual depreciation in the value of farming
stock, in the sheep line at least, has been strikingly
evinced by a grimier, a few miles east of liftlehbOrollgh,
who at the recent Leicester Michaelmas fair, sold his
shear hogs at I/. a head; at Michaelmas 1821, he sold
a' 265. a head ; at Michaelmas 1820, 365. a bead ; and
at Michaelmas 1819, at 461. a head.
Fate Or BALLTRAGGITT.—The MIMe of business
done at this fair, which took place on Thursday last, in-
dicated no improvement on Agricultural sales. The
supply of Stock was considerable, hut prices were most
discouraging. Fine treaters sold at 11. 2s 9.1. cult.—
lambs rated at from 81. to Os. a piece. The price of
Pip may state,' at from I/. to It 2s. 9.1. the cwt.
Springers were rather in spirited demand. Two-year-
old Bullocks and Heifers of the same age, for the Stall,
fetched from 30s. to IL 14e. 144. mad U. sa. 61 each.
