Guildford, May 15.-Wheat, new, for mealing, 147. 10s. to 197. per load. Barley, Sis. to 36s.; Oats, 26s. to 34s.; Beans, 43s. to 50s.; and Pease, grey, 46s. to 50s. per quarter. Tares, 8s. 6d. per bushel. Norwich, May 13.-We had but few samples of Corn offered for sale to-day, although there were many persons who had brought their samples to market, but an idea prevailing that the price would be lower, made them determine not to sell to-day, consequently the prices of good Red Wheat were rather higher than last week, and from 48s. to 56s. was obtained for them; White to 58s. Barley was sold from 22s to 28s. Oats, 21s. to 28s. Beans, 35s. to 39s. Peas, 34s. to 39s. per quarter; and Flour, 45s. per sack. Bristol, May 12.-The sales of Corn, &c. here are very limited, and little business is doing. The prices below stated are with difficulty obtained at present:-Wheat, from 4s. 9d. to 7s. Sd.; Barley, 3s. to 4s. 6d.; Oats, 2s. Sd to 3s. 3d.; Beans, Ss. to 5s. 6d.; and Malt, 4s. 6d. to 7s. 3d. per bushel, Imperial. Flour, Seconls, 30s. to 46s. per bag. Ipswich, May 13.-But little business is done to-day in our market. The project of Government for setting free the Bonded Corn has paralyzed business: the prices were nominally the same as last week, as follow:Wheat, 54s. to 62s.; Barley, 24s. to 31s.; and Beans, 36s. to 38s. per quarter. Wakefield, May 12-The supply of Grain this day has been by no means large, but as few are inclined to purchase in the present unsettled state of trade, Wheat has declined 1s. per quarter for the best samples, and little has been done in inferior quality., Oatmeal, from the increased consumption of this kind of food in the manufacturing districts, sold readily at last week's prices. Good fresh Barley obtains the same price as last week. Beans, though not plentiful, cannot be quoted at any higher price. Rapeseed is of very dull sale.—Wheat, Red, 47s. to 60s.; White, 50s. to 64s. per 60lbs.; Barley, 24s. to 26s.; fine, 27s. per quarter; Beans, old, 40s. to 44s.; new, 37s. to 41s. per 63lbs.; Oats, Mealing, new, 12d. to 13d. per stone; Shelling, new, 30s. to 31s; and Malt, 32s. to 36s per load. Flour, fine, 45s. to 45s. per sack of 280lbs. Rapeseed, 16l. to 207. per last. Manchester, May 13.-We continue to have but a bare supply of fine qualities of Grain and Flour at our market, which to-day have been more inquired after, and the prices of this day se'nnight are fully supported, and a good deal of business has been done. The effect of the Bonded Grain in the market is very trifling, the holders demanding prices equal to our own produce for that of good quality. Prices may be noted nominally as under. Wheat, English, 9s. 6d. to 10s. per bushel of 70lbs.; Irish, ditto, 8s. 6d. to 9s. 6d.; Oats, ditto, 3s. 3d. to 3s, 8d. per bushel of 45lbs.; Beans, 45s, to 48s. per quarter. Flour, 45s. to 48s. per sack of 280lbs.; Malt, 42s. to 40s. per load of six bushels. Newcastle-on-Tyne, May 13.-We had a very short supply of Wheat from the farmers this morning, and not much coastwise. The millers at first held off buying, in the expectation that the measures before Parliament would operate to reduce the prices, but at last they cleared the market at an advance of 18. per quarter, upon the terms of last Saturday. Rye dull sale, and 1s. per quarter cheaper. There is scarcely any sale for malting Barley, except for new thrashed Norfolk in small quantities. Grinding Barley is also very dull, and prices lower. The supply of Oats from the farmers was small, and the sale was tolerably brisk at 1s. per quarter advance.- Wheat, new, 52s. to 57s.; foreign, 48s. to 54s.; Rye, 36s. to 38s.; foreign, 328. to 36s.; Barley, 28s. to 30s.; foreign, 22s. to 26s; Malt, 52s. to 58s.; Oats, 20s. to 26s.; foreign, 17s. to 20s.; Beans, 428. to 46s; Pease white, 48s. to 50s. per qr. Imperial measure. Flour, 42s. per sack.. COUNTRY CATTLE AND MEAT MARKETS, &c." Norwich Castle Meadow, May 13.--The supply of fat Cattle to this day's market was large, and the sale unusually flat, half the quantity at least remained unsold; prices from 6s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. per stone of 14lbs. sinking offal. We had also a liberal supply of Store Stock; what few Scots were disposed of, were at 3s. 9d. to 4s. per stone when fat; Short Horns Ss. to 3s. 6d. ; a good lot of Irish also were offered for sale, price about 3s. 6d. Pigs very cheap, fat ones, to 6s. 6d. Meat, Beef, 7. to 84d. Veal, 5§d. to 8d.; Mutton, 6d. to 7d; Lamb, 74d., and Pork, 6d. to 74d. per lb. Horncastle, May 15.-Beef, 7s. 6d. per stone of 14 lbs.; Mutton, 7d.; Lamb, 9d. to 10d.; Pork, 6d.; and Veal, 8d. to 9d. per lb. At Morpeth Market, on Wednesday, May 10, there was a great supply of Cattle and Sheep: there being a good many buyers, fat sold readily at last week's prices; inferior met with dull sale, and part of both were not sold. Beef, from 6s. to 6s. 9d.; and Mutton, 7s. 6d. to 8s. 9d. per stone, sinking offal. AVERAGE PRICE OF CORN, sold in the Maritime Counties of England and Wales, for the Week ended May 6, 1826. Wheat.
