COCKERMOUTH GRAIN MARKET, Monday, Nov. 15. We had only a moderate show of
wheat at our market this morning, and prices were a little higher, but in
consequence of this being the hiring day, little business was done. Oats
and barley were taken at late rates.

_______________________________________

DONCASTER, Saturday, November 12. - the quantity of wheat brought by our
farmers was less than for some weeks past, and the demand was rather brisk
for al lfine samples of white at 6d per three bushels advance, the better
qualities of red being likewise dearer, but not so readily placed as white.
Barley is both very ready sale and very slow; extreme fine brings 40s, and
moderate only 30s, malting qualities; grinding unaltered in value. No
alteration in oats and beans, and the sale limited. Wheat, new 14s to 16s
0d, fine 17s to 19s 9d. diitto old 13s to 16s, fine 19s 0d; blendcorn 12s
to 15s; rye 11s to 14s; beans, new 16s to 17s, old ditto 17s to 18s, fine
old ditto 19s; peas, gray 14s to 16s, white and blue ditto 18s to 20s, fine

ditto 28s to 32s, fine 34s; barley, grinding 28s to 30s,; ditto malting
30s to 35s, fine 38s to 42s per qr.
===================================

GLOUCESTER. Saturday, November 13. - The supply of English wheat was
moderate,but more than equal to the demand and it met a dull sale at barely
last week's rates, though we make no alteration in the quotations. There
was little inquiry for foreign samples. The finest barley maintains its
price; all other qualities are dull and the turn lower; and oats and beans
barely maintain their value. - Averages: Wheat 855 qrs, 41s 6d; barley 25
qrs, 36s; peas 15 qrs, 50s 8d. Imports for the week ending the 9th
instant:
Ireland - Barley 569 qrs; oats 3555 qrs; Indian corn 95 qrs.

peas 632 qrs; Indian Corn 1300 qrs.
_______________________________________

MANCHESTER, Thursday, November 11. - All descriptions of wheat met a fair
inquiry at the rates of this day week. Flour was in better demand at late
rates. For oats and oatmeal the inquiry was limited, without any change in
value. Foreign and English beans in slow demand at the currencies of last
Thursday; whilst other articles of the trade remain without alteration.
_______________________________________

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE CORN MARKET, Nov. 13. - At market this morning there was a
very abundant show of wheat from the growers, and the arrivals coastwise as
well as from abroad being likewise upon a liberal scale, a portion of which
having gone direct into the hands of our millers, the factors' stands were
in consequence comparatively neglected. Whilst at a decline of 1s per qr, a
clearance of farmers' samples was readily effected. In flour there is not
change of importance. Malting barley, unless fine, most difficult to quit;
still former value is about sustained. Malt in limited request, and
inclining cheaper. Beans, peas, and oats unaltered.
Arrivals: Coastwise - Wheat 4184 qrs; barley 1115 qrs; malt 123 qrs.
oats 450 qrs; peas 60 qrs; flour 1435 sacks.
               Foreign - wheat 3554 qrs; barley 540 qrs; oats 340 qrs;
peas 490 qrs; beans 340 qrs.
Averages: Wheat 1747 qrs, 42s 5d; barley 145 qrs, 27s 1d; oats 83 qrs,
22s 7d; beans 14 qrs., 41s 8d.
______________________________________

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET
Tuesday, Nov. 16. - At this day's market, there was a better attendance of
buyers, but as the prices offered were lower than holders were disposed to
take, only a limited business was done, at a reduction of 1s per qr on the
rates of this day week for new English wheat. In old foreign, there was
little done,but late prices were maintained. Rye, beans, and peas were each
rather lower. Barley, with a large arrival, was a heavy sale, at barely
late rates. Malt had little attention. Oats dull, without much change in
price. Flour moved off slowly, but at nearly former terms.
_______________________________________

PRESTON, Saturday, November 13. - an inactive demand for each article of the
trade has been the ruling feature of the week; but more firmness having
been manifested by holders, the downward tendency in prices has been
slightly checked. There was a fair supply of English wheat at market
to-day, the sale for which was slow; and, except for the finest samples,
last Saturday's rates were with difficulty maintained. Beans sustain our
last quotations. From warehouse, French red wheat met a fair inquiry at 62
2-1/2d to 6s 4d per 70 lbs. the value of Irish nominally remains the same,
but it fails to command the slightest attention. Flour unchanged. Oats and
oatmeal tolerably steady in price, but they move in the merest retail; fair
to good qualities of the latter 25s 6d to 26s 6d; prime 27s, and extra up
to 28s 6d per 240 lbs.
_______________________________________

WAKEFIELD GRAIN MARKET. Friday, November 12. - Vessels are generally kept
back by contrary winds, but there is a fair show of wheat from warehouse;
there is every appearance of the trade having made a stand, such is the
indication in most leading markets, agricultural as well as of consumption;
to-day we are fully as dear for this article, though devoid of any activity
from the low price of flour, fine white in request, and rather dearer, and
on the whole a better feeling exists. Choice barley fully maintains
previous value, but all other descriptions sell very slowly, and prices are
rather easier. Beans steady in value, as well as oats and shelling. Other
articles unaltered. Averages for the week ending Nov. 4: Wheat 4622 qrs,
43s; barley 304 qrs, 34s 2-1/4d; beans 20 qrs, 43s 6d; peas 20 qrs, 40s.
_______________________________________

WISBECH, Saturday, November 13. - A fair supply of wheat, and moderate of
other grain. The best dry wheat is 1s per qr dearer, and other kinds in
better demand at last week's prices. Spring corn as before. Wheat, white
44s to 46s; extra 48s; red 39s to 40s; extra 42s, 63 lbs. per bushel;
oats 12d to 12-12d per stone; beans old, 47s to 48s; new 42s to 44s per
qr.
Averages for the week ending November 5: Wheat 1900 qrs 4 bush, 38s 6-1/2d;
oats 439 qrs, 22s 1d; barley 26 qr, 39s 9d; beans 59 qrs, 42s; peas 42
qrs. 46s 4d.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Monday, Nov. 15. - Of ***** barley and oats the
arrivals last week were heavy; of other grain and flour moderate. The
exports were 34 qrs barley, 2491 qrs oats, 58 qrs beans, 110 qrs peas, and
385 cwt flour. The receipts of English wheat were 6621 qrs; of foreign
10,419. The morning's supply from Kent and Essex was moderate. The
improved tone in sales continued; without, however, any rise in prices.
There was also a more healthy trade in fair Russian, and other qualities of
foreign, at fully the previous rates. Of English flour there were 17,039
sacks, of foreign 1612 sacks 1*85 brls. Norfolks were held for rather more
money, with buyers at 28s in quantity; the foreign and town trade being
unaltered. The quantity of British barley was 3753 qrs, of foreign 20,181
qrs. The price of malting sorts was well maintained, and there was a free
country demand for grinding descriptions at former rates. The malt trade
was steady for fine qualities, but inferior were very dull and rather in
buyers' favour.

Of oats the total supply was 95,216 qrs, of which 88,497 qrs were foreign,
827 qrs English, 1272 qrs Scotch, and 4620 qrs Irish. These successive
large arrivals being beyond the consumptive demand, with dealers well
provided, prices again gave way 1s per qr.; the supply of linseed was
21,814 qrs, with 1420 qrs exported. Baltic qualities being scarce, prices
were supported, there being a steady export inquiry. Cake remained without
change. Very little was doing in the seed market, dealers continuing
generally resolved to wait till nearer the season before getting into stock.
Cloverseed and trefoil were, however, firm. Tares, canary, mustard, rape,
hempseed, carraway, and coriander much as last quoted. "Irish mails just
in." Cork: 2d to 3d per barrel lower for oats. Waterford: 3d to 6d lower
for wheat. Barley rather cheaper.
_______________________________________

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Wednesday, Nov. 17 - Arrivals small. Weather very
cold. In wheat no alteration in demand or value. Oats in better demand at
Monday's prices. Barley a slow sale but unaltered in value.
_______________________________________

GLASGOW CORN MARKET, Wednesday, Nov. 17. - Good attendance to-day, but the
actual business which transpired was quite of a retail character. Foreign
wheat without change in value; barrels, 3d to 9d cheaper. Irish flour
reduced 1s per sack, but choice barrels fully supported last weeks' rates.
Fine barley, malting qualities, the turn against sellers; secondary
descriptions gave way 6d per 320 lbs. Beans dull at a further reduction of
3d to 6-1/* per boll. Buyers of oats and oatmeal had also the turn in their
favour. Quotations of Indian corn, in the absence of demand nominal.
_______________________________________

HULL CORN MARKET, Tuesday, November 16. - English wheat was more liberally
supplied, but sold well at 40s 43s per quarter. Barley scarce and
unaltered. Beans, peas, and oats were more plentiful, and prices favoured
buyers.
_______________________________________

LEEDS CORN MARKET, Tuesday, November 16. - The long-detained vessels having
arrived, there was a good show of grain. Wheat was firm at full rates, with
fair business. Barley scarcely met with any attention, but fine heavy sorts
were quite as dear. Beans steady. Other articles unaltered.
_______________________________________

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Tuesday, November 16. - The business this morning was
not increased in amount, but the market may be characterised as steadier for
both wheat and flour, with less pressure to sell. Oats and oatmeal taken
only for mere consumption, and are in no respect changed in value. Beans
again the turn easier. Barley unaltered. There is no amendment in the
demand for Indian corn, and though an actual further reduction is not
quoted, buyers have still slightly the advantage.
_______________________________________

EDINBURGH GRAIN MARKET, Wednesday, Nov. 17. - We had a large market to-day.
