 infinitely divided by this mode of tillage; and so is able 

 to offer a perpetual change of surface, and there ore a 

 perpetual supply of those substances, say of silicates or 

 p!,iphates, sulphates or alkalies, which the p ant

 exhaustion of the soil ; and though, pernaps, he 

 duration of these substances cannot strictly be called 

 infinite, yet the peri I when the supply will cease is cer-

COVENT GARDEN, Nov 22. 

 English Pine Apples coutiuue plentiful, and Grapes, both 

 foreign and English, are abundant. Small quantities of Pears 

 arc still brought from the Continent. The best English kinds 

 fetch 2*. to 4s. adoz.,and 3s. to 12s. per half sieve. They consist 

 -of Gtout Morceau, Crassane, Beurre Diel, and Chauaiontelle. 

 Oranges are plentiful. Nuts are nearly the same as last quoted. 

 Carrots, Turnips, Cabbages, *tc, are sufficient for the demand. 

 Potatoes are generally good in quality. Lettuces and other 

 aalading are sufficient for the demand. Mushrooms remain 

 stationary. Cut flowers consist of Heaths, Pelargonium*, 

 Mignonette. Heliotropes, Stephanotis, Bignoniavenusta, Chry- 

 santhemums, Camellias, and Roses.

SMITHFIELD, Monday, Nov. 17. 

 The supply of Beasts is shorter, and prices on the average 

 better ; yet it is difficult to quote higher for inferior qualities. 

 A pood clearance is effected, owing to the favourable weather. 

 The number of Sheep is smaller, and late rates are fully main- 

 tained ; indeed, some of the choicest kinds are rather dearer. 

 The number of Calves is quite equal to the demand, and trade 

 generally is no better. From H« Hand and Germany there are 

 1643 Beasts, 5060 Sheep, and 247 Calves; from Scotland, 150 

 Beasts ; from Norfolk and Suffolk, 120 ; from Ireland, 170 ; 

 and 2400 from the northern and midland counties.

Friday, Nov. 21. 

 We have a fair supply of Beasts to-day as regards numbers, 

 but the qualify of it is very middling. Trade is dull, and the 

 average of prices lower. A few choice Scots make 3s. I0d., but 

 in so few instances that we are not justified in quoting it. 

 There are a few more Sheep on offer t >- day than on Friday 

 last, and the demand is small ; consequently the advauce ex- 

 perienced on Monday is not maintained. Although the 

 number of Calves is not large, it exceeds the demand; prices 

 are about 2d. per 8 lbs. lower. Indication of change in the 

 weather causes a dull sale for all kinds of stock. Our foreign 

 supply consists of 501 Beasts, 19i0 Sheep, and 160 Calves. The 

 number of Milch Cows is 120.

MARK LANE. 

 Mohday, Nov. 17.— The supply of English Wheat by land 

 carriage samples to this morning's market was small from 

 Esbex, and but moderate fro a Kent; the white was taken off 

 at an advance ot Is. per qr., but wo cannot alter our quotations 

 for red. There was raiher more inquiry for some of the finest 

 qualities of foreign; these commanded the extreme prices of 

 last week, but other descriptions are comparatively neglected. 

 — Picked samples of mailing Barley sell readily at last week's 



rates, but secoudary sorts are difficult of disposal; foreign 

 rinding is very scarce, and rather dearer. — We raise our quota- 

 tions for Beans and Peas Is. per qr. — There is a fair sale for 

 Oats at fully last week's prices. — Fine barrel Flour is in good 

 request at our quotations.

Friday, Nov. 1*.— -The arrivals of grain and Flour this 



week, either English or foreign, are very small ; English Wheat 

 fully supports our quotations of Monday, and although the sale 

 of foreign was limited, extreme prices were realised on the 

 business transacted.— The value of Flour is firmly maintained, 

 and for American barrels there is a good demand. We observe 

 no alteration in the value of Barley, Beans, and Peas since 

 Monday.— The Oat trade is very firm, and in some instances 

 6d. per qr. more money is paid.— There are but few floating 

 cargoes on the coast unsold. Two of P. Odessa Wheat not 

 arrived have been taken for the Continent, at 33s., cost, freight, 

 an A ;««.,—««« £ or Galatz corn, 27s. is asked.

Liverpool, Tuesday, Nov. 18.— At our market this morning 

 fine white American and high mixed Dantzic Wheats we-e 

 held Id. per 70 lbs. over previous rates, but the advance was 

 not freely paid, and ail other descriptions of foreign, upon a 

 slow limited demand, remained without any decided change 

 in value ; whilst farmers' new Wheat, ot which there was a 

 further good supply, moved readily at late rates. Malting 

 Barley being scarce, and Malt in few hands, both were quite 

 as dear as last week ; grinding Barley, on the contrary, was 

 in limited request, and rather cheaper. Best new mealinjr 

 Oate improved |1 per 45 lbs., all ordinary qualities being dull 

 and depressed in value. Oatmeal was saleable at an advance 

 of 3d. per load— Friday, Nov 14.~At our Corn Exchange 

 to-day, fine white foreign Wheat was in moderate, thongh 

 not in lively request, at a trifling advance over late rates- 

 whilst good English Wheat was taken freely by our local 

 millers, and commanded the full rates of Tuesday. States and 

 Canadian Flour continuing to meet a ready sale, jreneral 

 qualities were again 3d. dearer. Although in Barley Malt 



«n«^ n 6 f* f K ttleb0g,lle88 Wa * *PP artnt . P"ces remained 

 unvaried. Oars, be»ng scarce, were the turn dearer, and Oat-
