December 19. 



London, Deceitiber 23. Markets for grain have taken another 



turn, and, owing to the apprehenfions entertained that the feverity 

 of the weather will prevent us from receiving foreign fupplies, and 

 that the navigation of the river Thames will be Hopped, our de- 

 mand for wheat and oats has been greatly increafed. At the Fri- 

 day's market, the former advanced full 8s. per quarter ; and this 

 day, very few famples were prefented. Good oats are worth 50s. 

 per quarter ; but we have a great many very ordinary ones, which, 

 ijnlefs upon a fcarce day, can hardly be fold. Beans and peas 

 maintain the high price lately obtained, though our fupply is large: 

 and as fine barley comes flowly in, and is much demanded, there is 

 not any fall upon that article. 



Seedsy from the bad weather when they were faved, are vaftly di- 

 verfjfied in quality and price. Red clover from 46s. to 1303. per 

 cwt. White 30s. to 1 20s. Trefoil i6s. to 723. Rye grafs from 

 30s. to 40s. per quarter. Turnip feed 303. to 313. per bufliel. And 

 rape feed from 52I. to 54I. per laft. 



The total return of wheat fold in Mark-lane, from the 9th to 

 the 14th December, is, 7,164 quarters, and tjie average price 

 thereof, 93s. iid. The returns are given for the week preceding 

 the lime they are made up ; though many of the newfpapers, par- 

 ticularly the Scots and provincial ones, prefent them in fuch a wayi 

 as may lead the reader to think, they are the average of the lall 

 market day.
