THE COUNTR Y MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 2.—Holders of flour are firm to•dsy,
but no change in prices.

MANCHESTER, ()CT. 2.—The demand for flour during
the week has been languid; but for oatmeal of choice
quality a steady consumptive sale has been experienced,
and while the value of the former has rather tended
downwards, that of the latter was firmly maintained.
Into Liverpool and Runcora the chief arrivals from Ire-
land consist of about 3,000 quarters of oats and 6,700
loads of oatmeal; and from abroad of fair supplies of
wheat, beans and flour. Our market this morning was
of an inactive character, and both wheat and flour must
be noted the turn in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal
were in fair demand at the full currency of this day
se'nnight.

our local markets, but without depressing the price of

about
quarter more money. The demand for barley is just
now very considerable, for the purposes of malting,
at the famous malting town of Newark, Not-
tingham, Rotford, and Worksop also require considerable
supplies. Yesterday, at Derby, there was a plentiful
supply of wheat, but an insufficient show of barley. The
former sold slowly at late rates, and the latter was dis-
posed of readily and at previous prices. Beans, old and
now, were in ready request, at Is a quarter more money,
There was no other change. Wheat, red, 40s to 435;
new, 38s to 425; white, 46s to 488; now, 428 to 445 per
36 stone. Barley, for malting, 29s to 33s imperial
measure; for grinding, 27s to 29s per 30 stone. Oats.
old, 21s to 24s per 24 stone; new, 18s to 221. Beans,
old, 38s to 41s per 38 stone; now, 33s to 355. Flour,
30s to 325; superior, 32s to 34s per 20 stone. Our
great fair commencing to-day, we have had at the Not-
tingham Corn-Exchange a very full attendance, and a
numerous show of samples, particularly of wheat and
barley. The price of wheat was well maintained; line
malting barley was fully
is a quarter dearer. Oats and
beans kept up to their former value.
WORCESTER, OCT. 2.--English now wheat was of-
fered at 14s to 14a 6,1 per bag of three bushels. Old
maintains former rates. Malting barley is saleable at
44 per bushel for good qualities. Other grain nominally
as last week.
At Stourbridge market, on Friday, there was a good
attendance of both farmers and millers. Old English
wheat sold at 4s 4d to 4s 8d per bushel, and new 33 9d
to 4Q 2d per bushel. Barley averages 3s 9d to 4s 3(1 per
bushel. Oats, 3s 4d per bushel, and dull of sale. Beans
about 4s 3d to 43 6d, and peas 4s 9d to 5s 3d per im-
perial bushel.
At Stratford-on-Avon market, on Friday, there was
only a limited supply of grain. Best old English wheat
was 15s to 16s per bag, and new, 13s to 14s, with an
average business done. In barley there was more doing,
prices 26s to 30s per quarter, according to quality. No
alteration in oats or peas. Good old beans, 14s to 14s
6d, and new 12a 6d to 13s per bag of three bushels.

CORK, OCT. 1
The native produce daily sent to market is generally
in good condition, and the respective qualities of wheat,
barley, and oats, aro quite an average—the prices of
wheat and oats have both advanced on the week, and
barley fully maintained its price—the week's receipts
comprise-2,471 barls wheat, 17s 6d to 225, average 20a
3d; 7,234 barls barley, Ils to 11s Bd, average 11s 6d;
301 barls bere, average 104; 17,324 barls oats, 8s 4d to
9s 2d, average 8s 6d. The price of prepared oats free
on board being above the ideas of buyers, there have
been no sales this week, but after the completion of the
sales for the past month, there may be a slight reaction,
particularly if our deliveries increase during the present
month. The barley trade seems pretty much confined
to the distillers and brewers, although there is some in.
quiry for grinding lots from the other side of the channel.
The foreign wheat trade continues very firm, and consi
derable sales have been made since our last, fully a
previous rates—and the general feeling seems to be, the
prices will not go lower. Indian corn in rather better
demand at last rs eek's rates, say 71 2s 6d for Galata, and
71 per ton for Ibrail. During the week 8,800 pas maize,
and 5,500 qrs wheat have been entered for Cork. A
very small portion of the large fleet has remained here,
the majorities of the cargoes having been sold before
arrival. Since this day se'nnight the arrival at Queens-
town were 63 maize, and 22 wheat, and the mailings 39
of maize and 11 wheat. There is no doubt from the -very
short turn out of the late potato crop, and the high
prices maintained in the market, that the consumption
of Indian corn and coarse flour will, this corning winter,
prove a very large item.
