HadSngfon, ylpr'il 4. — We had a full market this day of all 

 forts of grain : The fale was heavy, particularly for beans and 

 peas, of which grains a far larger quantity was prefented than 

 at any market this feafon. Wheat alfo fold dull, and prices" 

 declined nearly 2s. per boll. As the demand for oats is great, 

 that grain maintained its price, and good barley rather met 

 with an advance. There being few purchafes made at the fea- 

 ports for fome time paft, occafions our markets to be generally 

 well fupplied, though the demand for wheat has been uniformly 

 lefs this year than ufual. Prices — Wheat 366. to 45s. 6d. ; 

 barley 38s. to 47s. ; oats 36s. to 45s. ; beans 30s. to 48s. ; 

 peas 35s. to 51s.; tares 70s. to 75s. j — all per Linlilhgovy 

 Qieafure.
