little alteration in value, as to leave | shortness of supply in any thing the last quotations unchanged, Imported into Liverpool from the 28th October to the 3d November 1823, inclusive:--Wheat, 6,238; Oats, 6,316; Barley, 684; Malt, 1,827; Beans, 415; and Peas, 177 quarters. Oatmeal, 316 packs of 240 lbs. Flour, 1,966 sacks and 610 barrels. Norwich, Nov. 8.-Our market was pretty fully attended by Growers to-day, in expectation of better prices for all sorts of Grain. This, however, was not realized, at least, to the extent expected Wheat being from 40s. to 50s. for general runs, and for the most part very damp and cold, so as to render the kiln necessary; a few picked samples as high as 54s., but they were rare. Barley found ready sale at 24s. to 30s. per quarter. Other sorts in propor tion. Bristol, Nov. 8.-The supply of Corn, &c. still continues moderate to this place, and sales are effected nearly as follow: Best Wheat from 7s. 6d. to 7s. 9d.; inferior ditto, 4s. 6d. to 6s. 3d.; Barley, 2s. 6d. to 3s. 9d.; Beans, 3s. 6d. to 5s. 3d.; Oats, 2s. to 3s.; and Malt, 4s. 6d. to 6s. 2d. per bushel. Flour, Seconds, 28s. to 46s. per bag. Birmingham, Nov. 7.-OurWheat trade was heavy yesterday, at 5s. to 6s. 8d. per 60 lbs. for Old, and 6s. to 6s. 4d. for New. Barley sold freely at 28s. to 32s. per quarter. Malt in pretty good request, at 6s. 6d. to 7s. per bushel. Oats steady, at 28s. to 30s. for Old, and 22s. to 25s. for New. Beans much sought after, at 15s. ed. to 16s. per ten score for Old, and 14s. 6d. to 15s. for New. Peas, from 5s. to 6s. per bushel, in fair demand. Old Fine Flour, 43s. to 45s. per sack, and Old Seconds, 40s. to 42s.; New Fine, 40s. to 42s., and New Seconds, 36s. to 37s.; mixed Flour, 89s. to 40s. There was no but Beans: Barley was much more plentiful than it has of late been, and was not worth so much money at the close of the market, nor is it expected that it will support the present quotations. Ipswich, Nov. 8.-We had to-day. a large supply of Barleys, the best of which sold about 6d. to 1s. per quarter below last week's prices, and the middling and ordinary qualities 1s. to 2s. per quarter; only a moderate supply of Wheat, prices the same as last week; but very few Peas, and no Beans either New or Old. Wisbech, Nov. 8.-Nothing but the best dry samples of Wheat supported last week's prices: inferior sorts dull in sale, and a trifle lower; 44s. to 48s. was given for best sorts. Oats, and Beans without alteration. Mustard-seed the same. Boston, Nov. 5. We still continue to have a good supply of samples of Grain, without any variation, excepting very superior, which is very slow in demand, and sold as follows:-Wheat, 40s. to 48s.; Oats, 16s. to 22ş.; Barley, 23s. to 30s.; and Beans, 32s, to 36s. per quarter. Wakefield, Nov. 7.-The supply of Grain to this day's market is slender, except Oats and Shelling, which is abundant and more than equal to the demand. The finest samples of Wheat, both new and old, sell readily at last week's prices; middling and inferior descriptions are dull and difficult of sale.-Barley and Beans are each 1s. higher.-Oats and Shelling are dull, and a shade lower.-Malt in good demand, at 1s. per load advance.-No alteration in Flour, Peas, or Rape-seed. Malton, Nov. 8. Our market for all sorts of Grain continues nearly at the same price as for some weeks past.-Old Wheat, Taking Moore's Almanac for his guide, a person might write a table of prices for this trade for a twelvemonth to come. Allowing a latitude of a month, as the Almanacmaker does, you would be almost sure to be right-Some years ago every kind of Irish Butter was, at this time of the year, bought by name, without the necessity of the buyer's inspecting it. Now, no one who can pay for what he buys, will purchase without previously inspecting; and at this time there are handreds of tons of Butter in this market, which will lose the importers four or five per cent. on account of its staleness, arising from its having been imported before it was wanted. So much of the Irish being stale, and an advance having taken place in the foreign markets, together with the prospect of a check to the importation of foreign Butter, have caused a demand for every thing that is fine, and a consequent advance of price. On board: Carlow, 80s. to 83s. Waterford, 74s. to 75s.Dublin, 75s. to 76s.-Belfast, 78s. to 80s.- Limerick, or Cork, 72s.— Landed: Carlow, 82s. to 84s.—Belfast, 80s. to 82s.-Waterford, 75s. to 77s.-Dublin, 76s. to 78s.-Cork, or Limerick, 74s. to 75s.-Dutch, 94s. to 96s.-Holstein, 80s. to 86s. -Embden, 68s. to 72s.

Colton Market. Friday, Nov. 7. - This is the prompt day at the India House, which has lately attracted so much attention, and which has occasioned so many Cottons to be thrown upon the market; the sales of EastMaidstone, Nov. 6.-Our Hop India descriptions this week are Trade continues quite as bad as between 3,000 and 4,000 bags; last week; there are so few sales nearly the whole has been disposed made, that we cannot say much of at d. discount, a few parcels at about prices, but they are evi-d. discount on the India House sale dently getting lower every day.
