Picked samples of Wheat are scarce, and obtained last quotations: in all other qualities there was a reduction of 28. per quarter, and scarcely any business done. Barley for malting sells rather 4,527 more freely than of late, but infe1,870 rior qualities are again reduced 1s* per quarter. Beans sell very heavily, at 2s. per quarter reduction. Boiling and Grey Pease may each be quoted 1s. per quarter lower. Although the Oat trade cannot be quoted much lower, as the quantity at market is not considerable, yet sales have been made to a very limited extent.

This day's market was as dull as could possibly be conceived, every article having been offered on lower terms. Imported into Liverpool, from the 13th to 19th December, 1825, inclusive: Wheat, 11,891; Barley, 2,166; Oats, 11,572; Malt, 4,581; Beans, 2,067; and Pease, 221 quarters.

Bristol, Dec. 24.-So little business is doing here in the Corn markets, and such different prices accepted by some sellers, that it is difficult to state prices accurately. Present rates may be considered about as follow: -Wheat, from 6s. to 89. 8d.; Barley, Ss. 3d. to 5s. 8d; Oats, 2s. 3d. to 3s. 14d.; Beans, 3s. 9d. to 6s. 9d.; and Malt, 5s. 6d. to 8s. per bushel.

Wakefield, Dec. 23.-The arrivals of Grain are pretty large for this day's market. The buyers are determined to do as little business as possible, the sales consequently are so limited, that it is difficult to establish any fixed prices. Wheat may be noted 2s., and Barley 2s. to 3s. per quarter lower. Beans have declined 2s. to 3s. per quarter. No attention whatever paid to other articles. Manchester, Dec. 24.-We have nothing to notice at our market to-day but a continued depression, the supply is not extensive, but more than equal to the demand, as there are no buyers but for immediate consumption. Wheat may be noted 3d., and Oats 1d. per bushel lower. Malt, Flour, and Beans, are each a shade lower. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Dec. 24.-We had a large supply of Wheat from the farmers, and having also some arrivals from the North this morning, the millers were enabled to select the best dry samples at a decline of 25. per quarter, and the damp inferior samples were sold at a much greater reduction. Barley is 2s. per quarter lower, and this decline applies equally to Norfolk and new foreign,-Grinding Barley is 2s. per quarter lower, and dull sale. The farmers supply the market liberally with Oats, and prices to-day were 1s. to 2s. per quarter lower. COUNTRY CATTLE AND MEAT MARKETS, &c. Norwich Castle Meadow, Dec. 24.-We had a tolerable supply of fat Cattle to this day's market, which obtained 9s. per stone of 14 lbs.; the shew of store stock was not large, but the stagnation in the trade was very great; what few Scots were sold were from 4s. to 4s. 6d. per stone when fat; a few short horns, but not of very good quality, were offered for sale, prices 3s. to 3s. Od. We had as good an exhibition of meat for this Christmas market as was ever seen in Norwich, or perhaps ever will be seen here.

Manchester, Dec. 21.-We had to this day's market a large supply of Cattle; prime small things were in good demand at last week's prices. In Sheep the supply was large, and the demand not so brisk as this day se'nnight, therefore lower prices were submitted to. At Morpeth market, on Wednesday, there were a good many Cattle and Sheep: there being a great demand, both sold readily at last week's prices.-Beef, from 6s. 6d. to 7s. 6d.; and Mutton, 6s. 6d. to 8s. per stone, sinking offal, London* AVERAGE PRICE OF CORN, sold in the Maritime Counties of England and Wales, for the Week ended December 17, 1825.
