THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LivEarooL, MAY 15.—A firm feeling is shown by holders
of flour to day, but no change to quote in the value of any
article.

MANCHESTER, Alas 15.—Throughout the week the trade
has continued in a very lifeless state. Factors, however, have
not shown any anxiety to press sales at materially lower
rates ; but in the limited business passing buyers have had
the turn of prices in their favour on most articles. Coastwise
and from Ireland the arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are
scanty, bet from abroad we have to notice a further large
supply of flour from America, together with liberal quantities
of wheat and Indian corn. Our market this morning was of
a languid eharacte,-, and on wheat and flour we note a reduc-
tion of Id per 701 h and 6J per sack respectively. Oats and
beans, owing to the favourable change in the weather, moved
off slowly at barely last week's rates; whilst oatmeal, although
in modera'e demand, fully maintained its previous value.
WORCESTER, MAY 15.—The market to-day has been
hardly so good as of late,but best English white wheat was worth
16s 6d per bag, and rd 15s to 15.1 6d. Malting barley in
slow demand at 3s 6.1 to 3s 8d per bushel ; other qualities,
3s 4d to 3s 61. English beans most be quoted at 4s Gd per.
bushel, and foreign from 4s to 4s 3d. Old English oats, 3s 6°
to 3s aal per 391 b ; and new, 3s to 3s 4d ; Irish, 2s 9d t°
3s. Vetches, 4s 6,1 to 5s per bushel. Peas, from 3s 9d to 45
per bushel.
At Stourbridge market on Friday the supply of all sorts o!
grain was and a ready sale was obtained at last week
rates. A trifling advance was realised for beans.
At Stratford-on-Avon on Friday, there was a fair supply of
wheat, which was off-red at last ssesk's currencies, but the
millers pressed for a reduction. Farmers, however, would It
submit, and the result was a flat market. Wheat averaged 7;
per imperial quarter. Barley was worih 26s 6d to :573 6d pe
quarter. The transactions in other grain at late rates.
At wolverliampton the supply of wheat was short, both
from farmers and dealers, but there was enough for the de*
mand, ane in order to effect sales a reduction of 13 per quarter
had to be submitted to in the price of wheat. English whit:
wheat was worth 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 621 b, and red 55 to ba 20.
The value of barley was fully maintained. Alaltinx sold at 281
to 29s per quarter. Beans were firm. Old fetched 13s 6d PI
1. 6 b, and new 12s 6d, with a fair business doing. Oats move"
off slowly at the currencies of the previous market-day. Elig.
lisp oats, 22s to 23s per 3121 h; Irish, 20s to 225.
NOTTINGHAM, MAY 15.—At Derby market yesterd*Y
there was a small attendance of buyers and little was passing
in any article, no alteration taking place in the value of AYa
kind of grain. Wheat, red, 39s to 435; ditto, white, 46s t°
48s per 36 stone ; barley, for malting, 28s to 32s ; ditto, for

super, 32s to 34s per 20 stone. To-day at our own corn
we have a very small supply of wheat, with a good many
buyers ; the prices of last week were well supported. Our
barley quotations are nominal. Oats supported their valuer
and beans were Is per quarter dearer. 'I he present prices 0.,

317 barrels at Ils 8d to 13s per barrel; oats, 843 barrels. s„
9s to Ils 5d per barrel. Oats are a little dearer, but other
descriptions of grain are unaltered in value. Except a salel
some extent, ex ship, the business passing in foreign whest
limited, prices remaining much as quoted in our last. Bari„lf
is unchanged in value, and in oats we have no sales of the leaf
consequence to report. The business doing in fine flourthll
e
confinei to the supply of the more immediate wants of
trade ; but coarse flours continue to be eagerly inquired ,e 2
and meet a free sale, supply being inadequate to the demand'
The in Indian corn is only moderate, and prices base
given way to the extent of 2s 61 per ton, the value of Pr'
Galatz now being 71 10s per ton.
