CARLISLE MARKET, Saturday, January 27. We have again to report a good supply of grain in our market this morning, though far below the quantity exhibited for the last few weeks. Wheat was in fair supply, and a good demand at fully last week's rates. Barley not so hood, but a brisk and steady demand at our former quotations. Oats likewise not so plentiful, though the quantity was quickly disposed of, without quoting any alteration in prices of this day week. We noticed a few bags of rye, peas, and beans, but could not ascertain their selling prices, there having been little business done in that quarter,—The Potato market was well stocked with carts, and a lively and active demand continued until the whole was cleared off. Prices remained stationary from last week, viz., 4d per stone, and two stones for 7½d.—The Butter and Egg Market again exhibited a good supply of those articles. Prices opened at 11d per lb for butter, but towards noon, dealers becoming anxious to "sell up," readily accepted 10d and 9½d to effect their purpose, which was quickly needed to by purchasers. Eggs continued selling at ten for 6d.—The Poultry Market weekly diminishes in supply. The few geese and turkeys we noticed sold at, the former from 2s 6d to 4s 6d, the latter 3s to 5s a piece; ducks from 1s to 1s 3d; hens, 9d to 1s.—The Pork Market this morning presented a very bustling and business like appearance. The number of carcasses exhibited being rather below the usual quantity, the demand was uncommonly brisk, at an advance of from 3d to 4d per stone over last week's quotations. For neat small carcasses 4s 9d per stone was asked and readily given, and for others 4s 6d. The market was entirely cleared about an hour after its starting.—The Pig Market did not contain so many of this tribe as on former weeks. The demand was, however, brisk, and a good business effected at prices much the same as last week. For superior breeds from 12s to 15s; and inferior and others from 5s to 9s. This market was early cleared.—The Fish Market continues its usual seasonable supply of fish. The several prices are as follow:—Skait 4d; haddocks 2d to 3d; cod 1d to 1½d; plaice 3d to 4d; soles 8d to 10d per lb; lobsters, 1s 6d to 2s; crabs 4d to 6d each, according to size; and shrimps at from 4d to 6d per quart. Oyster remain at from 2s to 2s 6d per hundred. Wednesday, January 31.—Not withstanding the stormy and rough weather of last night, a goodly quantity of carts reached the market this morning. Dealers started asking 4d and 4½d per stone for their "murphies," but, towards noon, they were glad to accept lower terms—3d and 3½ per stone being offered and taken.—Butter and eggs were rather scarce; the former opened at 11d, and continued so until towards noon, when 10d was offered and freely taken. Eggs the same as on Saturday. Prices of Game.—Hares, 2s to 2s 6d each; partridges 2s to s2 6d; and pheasants, 5s to 7s per brace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CURRENT PRICES OF GRAIN PER BAG OF THREE IMP.

In foreign wheat there was little done; the holders show much confidence and firmness. Rye is scarce, and enquired for at full prices. The arrivals of barley this week are more liberal, for, in addition to the quantity noted above, some further shipments have got in and the sale is not so free as it was, but we do not quote any alteration in prices. In beans and peas there is little doing. Malt rather dearer, but in limited request. The show of oats from the farmers today was only moderate, and they were cleared off at much about the rates of last week. Flour, although in very limited supply, is a dull sale, and our extreme quotations are scarcely obtainable. Arrivals during the week:—English; 495 qrs. whet, —qrs. rye, 915 qrs. barley, —qrs. malt, 180 qrs. oats, —qrs. peas, —qrs. beans, and 336 sacks of flour. Foreign: 557 qrs. wheat, —qrs. barley, —qrs. rye, —qrs. oats, —qrs. peas, —qrs. beans and — barrels of flour.

Select samples of barley are taken off at full rates, but secondary qualities met a dull sale, and barely supported their former value. Oats and shelling are more in demand than of late, at rather improved prices. Beans must be noted 1S per qr. dearer.

Flour and oatmeal brought the rates of this day se'nnight with a slow sale. Several parcels of mealing oats found buyers at 2s 7d to 2s 8d per 45 lbs.

The best parcels sold readily at the quotations of Monday last, but former rates were not so freely paid for secondary descriptions of which several runs remained undisposed of at the close of business. There was rather an improved demand for duty paid foreign wheat, still the transactions were by no means extensive, the few country buyers who visited us refused to give the terms asked, and our own millers paying the same reluctantly; the sales made were at quite as high prices as those current eight days ago. The operations in bonded wheat were unimportant, and quotations remained nominally unaltered. Flour moved off tardily, but was no cheaper. Though the display of barley samples was not so large as of late, the quantity on sale was more than equal to the demand, and only the best malting qualities commanded previous rates; distilling and grinding sorts were not pressed, however, and could scarcely have been bought cheaper than last week. The plentiful arrival of Irish oats reported, afforded a large show of samples. The transactions were somewhat checked by the high pretensions of sellers; still the sales were not unimportant. English and Scotch corn excited less attention than Irish, but neither kind was cheaper. Beans and peas hung heavily on hand, and scarcely supported their previous value. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE Wheat, English, red 42s to 58s White 42s to 63s Northumberland 0s to 0s Irish, white 0s to 0s Red 0s to 0s Rye 20s to 23s Barley, grinding 30s to 31s Malting 32s to 34s Chevalier 34s to 37s Distilling 32s to 33s Scotch 30s to 32s Malt 53s to 62s Oats, English, feed 18s to 21s Potato 19s to 23s Scotch, common 20s to 22s Potato 21s to 25s Irish, feed 14s to 20s Poland 0s to 0s Beans, tick 26s to 27s Harrow 27s to 28s Pigeon 30s to 32s Peas, grey 27s to 29s White boilers 21s to 35s Maple 28s to 30s -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRICE OF FLOUR PER SACK OF 280 LBS.

There was a brisk demand for all sorts, plenty of buyers and nearly all sold up. Beasts, neat cutters, 6s to 6s 3d; large steers, 5s 9d to 6s; middling, 4s 5d to 5s 3d; inferior, 4s. Pork, small, 5s; large, 4s to 4s 6d per stone. Sheep of the first quality, is ahead below 6d; middling 4½d to 5d; inferior, 4d per lb. sinking offals. Number shown—Beasts, 203; sheep, 2814; pigs, 256. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORPETH, Wednesday, Jan. 31.—We had an average supply of beasts at our market today, the bulk of which were superior in quality, and there being a rather brisk demand, they met with a ready sale at somewhat higher prices. The supply of sheep was moderate, the demand good, and prices higher than last week. The pig market was well stocked with fat and lean prigs, and prices continue the same. Pork from 4s 6d to 5s 3d per stone. At per stone, sinking the offal.

The attendance of both town and country buyers was, on the whole, numerous, but owing to the large arrivals of slaughtered meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall, and the low figures obtained there, as well as in most of the local markets, the beef trade was in for a sluggish state. However, the prices obtained on this day se'nnight—those of the best Scots ruling from 3s 10d to 4s per 8 lbs.—were well supported, though some difficulty was experienced on the part of the salesmen in effecting a clearance. The Norfolk droves of beasts—those for this morning's market amounting, in number, to about 830—are now beginning to attract considerable attention. Those which have, as yet, been transmitted hither show a great degree of care and skill in feeding, and we have the best authority for stating that they carry more than the usual quantity of internal fat; and this, too, notwithstanding the prevalence of the epidemic. Several cases of that disease were observed today; but, in the aggregate, none of a very serious character. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about 700 short burns; from the western and midland districts, 600 Scots, Devons, runts, Herefords, &c.; from other parts of England, 200 of various breeds; and, from Scotland, by steamers 220 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of sheep, though not large, were fully adequate to meet the wants of the butchers. Prime old Downs sold steadily; Kents, half breds, &c., slowly at last week's quotations. There were about 100 shorn sheep, and 59 lambs on offer; but, their quotations were very uneven. The numbers of calves were small, while the sale for them was active, at full currencies. In pigs a good business was doing, at late rates. No importations of foreign stock have been reported since our last. Number of Cattle at market: Beasts, 2,744; Sheep, 20,170; Calves, 83; Pigs, 270.
