small home supply; but that from abroad was very heavy, including 30,000 qrs. from the United States and Canada. Scarcely any fresh samples were on the Kentish and Essex stands this morning, but with finer weather and plenty of foreign, English samples were but little in request, at unaltered rates. The weather and good arrival prevented large foreign purchases, but needy buyers had to pay fully as much money for retail quantities, and though the arrivals off the coast were heavy, they sold very freely at full prices. The weather, with two days' exception, being favourable this week, there was very little activity or change in the country markets, which only slightly varied in their tone, according to the necessities of millers and the supplies furnished. Liverpool further recovered from the depression of the previous week 2d. to 3d. per cental, being thus brought up to the level of other markets, but finished in calm. Wheat both at Edinburgh and Glasgow sold steadily at unaltered rates, and there was more firmness in foreign at Dublin, while native Irish was so generally scarce as to be held relatively dear. 127,894 qrs. foreign for the same time last year. The exports for the same time were 2,460 qrs. wheat, 585 cwts. flour. The imports into the kingdom for June were 534,806 grs. wheat, 448,914 cwts. flour. The flour trade has been very steady through the month. The top price of town-made has stood at 51s., Norfolks ex ship to 39s., and the range of barrels has been from 24s. to 30s. per barrel. The demand on these has been good, and had it not been for the recent good arrivals, some advance must have been noted, but buyers were afraid to exceed their immediate wants, from the danger of getting out of order. The London imports for four weeks were in country sorts 45,674 sacks, foreign 2,501 sacks 63,610 barrels, against 41,573 sacks country, 9,215 sacks 100,959 barrels for the same time in 1861. The barley trade has improved. English supplies have been scanty, but foreign very fair, as compared with former seasons; but the low rates obtaining in May seem to have greatly increased the consumption, and enabled factors to obtain a further advance of from 1s. to 2s. per qr. on last month's improvement. The new English just appearing is fair malting quality, and perhaps worth near 40s. per qr., and the new Saale at Hambro', weighing 52 to 53lbs. per bush. from scarcity, was quoted 36s. to 38s. per qr. f. o, b.; old Danish was held at 32s. 6d. per qr., cost, freight, and insurance. Fair prices seem again likely to rule for malting sorts. The imports into London for four weeks were only 566 qrs. British, but 47,168 qrs. foreign, against 1,695 qrs. British, 19,337 qrs. foreign in 1861. The malt trade, as is usual at this time of year, has been very quiet; and prices have been without quotable change. The third Monday's returns still showed a smali home supply and a liberal foreign one, though less by 10,000 qrs. than the previous week. With but a scanty show on the Kentish and Essex stands, there was again a very quiet trade, but English factors were firm, and the sales made were at fully former prices. The continuance of heavy foreign supplies, with improved weather, caused but a languid trade; but white sorts of fine quality found more enquiry, stocks of such getting low, and the new crop of white being reported as injured. Low foreign red, out of order, was occasionally sold rather in favour of buyers, but fresh samples were not forced off. Cargoes afloat were still in good demand, with The oat trade has been rising. The English rates rather hardening from the known low-supplies, at one time free, were over-estimated; ness of stocks throughout the kingdom. This and their falling-off has not been made up by week being the most summer-like of the entire foreign imports. There has also been an increased month, the country markets were generally in consumption, readily taking off good sweet corn. calm, though the full anticipation of a defective Oats therefore, for the month, have risen 1s. to 18. yield and the knowledge of very short stocks, both 6d. per qr.; and the recent importations of Archin the interior of the country and places of import, angel sorts have gone off rapidly-new at 23s. 6d., made some holders ask more money, and it was sweet old at 24s. per qr., ex ship. It seems the paid at Chelmsford, Carlisle, and a few other opinion that prices will still rule firm, and good places. imports be wanted, as our own stocks are exhausted, and there is little in granary; but, on the other hand, the Baltic ports will be stimulated to make shipments, and we may not see any material change. At Hamburgh, rates are 23s. to 25s. per qr., free on board. The imports into London for four weeks were in English sorts 4,134 qrs.; Scotch, 1,458 qrs.; Irish, 2,337 qrs.; foreign, 79,059 qrs.; against 2,320 qrs. English, 924 qrs. Scotch, 144 qrs. Irish, 111,912 qrs. foreign in 1861. The fourth Monday opened on the smallest English supply, but there was plenty of foreign, though less than on the previous week. As regards the morning's show, the first Kentish factor had literally nothing, and the first Essex factor about eight samples, and there were very few besides. The weather, however, being brilliant and forcing, there was very little enquiry for samples of homegrowth, and no change could be noted in the value. There was, however, a fair attendance of small country buyers, who had to pay very full prices for fine white samples, which were very scarce; and low priced millers took rather freely of spring American, at quite as much money. Cargoes afloat continued saleable on former terms. The imports into London for the four weeks were in English qualities 10,422 qrs., in foreign 139,778 qrs., against 10,455 qrs. English, Beans have also followed oats in the increase of value, having almost imperceptibly bardened in price every market, till new Egyptians have become worth 33s. to 34s., and old 33s. per qr. The lowness of the Nile has made arrivals at Alexandria moderate; but the recent rise there and here will stimulate shipments, the price of Saidi being 25s. per qr. free on board; so that much advance is not to be looked for, unless we have damage to our own crop, which appears to have borne the cold and wet better than was expected. The imports for four weeks into London have been 1,173 qrs. English, 11,565 qrs. foreign, against 667 qrs.

English, 2,396 qrs. foreign, most of them being white from Canada. Last season at the same time the imports were 67 qrs. English and 16,093 qrs. foreign; and these latter lost a good deal of money, which may account for the present reduced quantity. 5 39 7 s. d. 56401 qrs. 50 7 COMPARATIVE AVERAGES-1862-61. 24 6 2896 47 1800 37 11 17 38 3 41 2 1318 42 8 42 1 Peas ........ 80 37 10 FLUCTUATIONS IN THE AVERAGE PRICE OF WHEAT.

Prices obtainable in this market continue disproportionately low to those necessarily paid in the country, and consequently some staplers, knowing that the new clip is pretty well out of farmers' hands, are disposed to hold their stocks rather than part with them at present rates. The increased cheapness of money also, as indicated by the reduction in the bank rate, will tend to establish that disposition. Both down wools and half-breds are more easy to sell, and at the same time unmistakeably stiffer in price, while, on the other hand, all deepgrown sorts meet a slow inquiry, and. if anything, a drooping tendency in price. With the unusually large consumption going on, the quantity of wool of all descriptions changing hands is necessarily considerable.—Bradford Observer. DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, (Saturday last.)-We had the least supply this season: the bulk of the clip has already passed from the farmer and dealer. Prices, if anything, are higher, and all good clips in great request. Lincolnshire parcels, one-third hop, 45s. to 468., including draft allowance of lb. to the tod. FORT-WILLIAM WOOL MARKET.-On the whole there was a rise from last year's prices of 2s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. Prices may be quoted as follows: Cheviot white 328. to 37s., washed laid 20s. to 248. 6d., unwashed about 18. blackfaced white 18s. to 23., laid Highland 10s. 6d. to 14s. 6d. per stone, GLASGOW, (Saturday last.)-In this market during the past week wools continue in good demand, and prices are steady, and tending upwards. For black-faced laid the inquiry is still considerable, and several large lots have changed hands at full rates. Blackfaced white is in the meantime somewhat neglected. Cheviots are more wanted, particularly laid, and some good clips have been disposed of during the week. Crosses are quiet, except cross-bred washed white hoggs, which command extreme rates, and are wanted.-F. H. McLeod. ILMINSTER WOOL FAIR.-The 25th annual wool fair was held in the George Hotel Assembly Room on Wednesday last. The proceedings commenced, as usual, with an excellent dinner. The chair was filled by Mr. J. W. Paull of Ilminster. The following sales were effected: Mr. Coleman sold his lot of 540 fleeces, cross-bred, to Mr. Brown at 174d.; Mr. Tapp sold his wool, 100 fleeces and 60 lambs, cross-bred, to Mr. Hine at 174d.; Mr. Cannicott sold his wool at 17 d.; and Mr. Bond sold his lot, 360 fleeces and 300 lambs, at 17d. LEWES WOOL FAIR.-This annual wool fair was held on Monday last, at the White Hart Hotel. The chair was taken by Viscount Pevensey, M.P. At the commencement of the business proceedings the buyers positively refused to accept the wool at the prices asked, and consequently the business was very slow. Ultimately, however, a compromise was partly effected and some sales took place. The prices ranged from 18d. to 20d. for ewes, tegs, and other sorts; 18d. was freely offered by the buyers, but in some instances a considerable advance upon this figure was made before the close. Mr. John Saxby sold about 750 ewes and 250 tegs at 18d., to Mr. Breach. Mr. E. Saxby sold 420 ewes and 230 tegs to Mr. Breach for 18d. Mr. Nye sold 423 fleeces of the Rev. J. Harrison's, and 343 (18 fatting sheep, and tegs in proportion) of his own at 18d. Mr. Thomsett sold the Piddinghoe woolabout 1,600 fleeces, at 18d., to Mr. Legg. Mr. Colgate sold the Hon. H. Brand's wool-1,600 fleeces, including 220 tegs, at 50s. per tod. Mr. Breach gave Mr. Cane 133d. for his wool. Mr. Lucas purchased Mr. R. R. Verrall's wool-800 ewes and 256 tegs-at 181d. Mr. Aylwie, of Plumpton, said he and Mr. Trower, of Cooksbridge, had sold their wool to Mr. Isard at 183d. The following sales were also effected: Mr. Madgwick, of Balmer, sold 792 fleeces to Mr. Lucas, at 50s. per tod; Mr. Charles Ellis sold 460 tegs, 300 ewes, 80 fatting sheep, and six rams, to Mr. Legg, at 50s. per tod; Sir J. V. Shelley's wool, 410 fleeces, was sold at 184d.; Mr. Breach bought Mr. Cooper's wool at 184d., Mr. Hodgson's at 174d., and Mr. Lambe's at 18 d. Mr. Legg bought Mr. Botting's at 508.

Gorringe, 676 ewes. 230 tegs, at 18 d.; Mr. Ellis, Exceat, 743 ewes. 300 tegs, 184d; Mr. Jos. Gorringe, 470 ewes, 160 tegs, 184d.; Mr. Emery, 630 ewes, 300 tegs, 18d. OBAN WOOL MARKET.-The available clips for sale were reduced, and dealers picked them up at an advance from last year of from 3s. to 58. per stone of 24lbs. The following may be given as the current rates: Washed Cheviot 34s. to 36s., ditto Laid 26s. to 27s., unwashed ditto 228. to 24s., washed Highland 18s. to 23s., unwashed ditto 16s. to 21s., and Laid Highland 11s. to 148. 3d. per stone. A good num. ber of sales took place at from 12s. to 13s. per stone. PEEBLES WOOL FAIR.-The only transactions were in Cheviots, crosses, and blackfaced, which may be said to have obtained the prices of St. Boswell's, Mr. Wilson, manufacturer, Inverleithen, bought first-class Cheviot at 36s., second ditto 348.; first-class cross 33s., second ditto 28s.; first-class blackfaced 218., second ditto 20s.; which prices may be taken as the general run of the market. SANQUHAR WOOL FAIR.-Cheviot white, washed, ranged from 32s. to 35s., the general prices being 33s. to 348. The advance on last year is 4s. to 5s. per 24lbs.

BOSWELL'S WOOL FAIR.-All-hogg sold as high as 43s. 6d., half-hogg and half-ewe as high as 40s. and one lot of two-hogg to three-ewe at 42s. Cheviot was selling at 34s, to 38s, BRESLAU WOOL REPORT, July 24.-During the last three weeks we had some more activity in our trade, and sales amounted to nearly 2,000 cwts. This quantity chiefly consisted of fine Polish fleeces at from 78 to 80 thalers, as well as of refuse at from 65 to 68 th., Charkow scoured wools at from 84 to 88 tb., and old Russian combing wools ordinarilywashed at from 46 to 48 th. A few bargains have also been concluded in Silesian one-shearlings and lambs-wool at from 83 to 93 th. for English and French account. As to the bulk of the quantity disposed of, Saxon combers and manufacturers, as well as some Silesian firms, have been the buyers. Prices have been firmly maintained, and in some instances were a few per cents. higher than in the month of June.-GUNSBURG BROTHERS. MANURES. PRICE CURRENT OF GUANO, &c.
