THE COUN TRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 17.—A large inquiry for both wh eat
and flour to-day, at very extreme priced, with incites. led
disposition t business.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 17.—Although the demand for
flour has been of a languid character throughout the
present week, still sellers hare continued to exhibit gr, ?31
firmness, and in the sales effected previous prices we ►re
steadily maintained. Oatmeal has been in modert tte
request at rather higher rates. The arrivals from all
sources at Liverpool and Runcorn are exceedingly light.
At our market this morning there was only a limitef3
business transacted in wheat and flour, but the current '
of this day se'nnight was firmly supported. Oats an ►t
oatmeal, on the contrary, met a better sale at an advar lee
of ld per 451 b on the former, and 3d to 6d per load on
the latter article.

NOTTINGHAM, • JAN. 17.—A further advance in the
price of wheat or barley, or both, has taken place t his
week in most of our markets. Yesterday at De rft,y
barley was is dearer, with a ready sale. Wheat rat her
slow at last week's prices. No change in any of h, lr
article. Wheat, red 38s to 41a per 46 stone; di tk
white 46s to 475; barley, for matting 28s to 323 imps ria
easure: ditto, for grinding 22s to 26s per 30 atone;
oats, old 22s to 26s per 24 stone; new 18s to 21s; beans,
old 36s to 39s per 3S stone; new 30s to 335; flour 27s to
28s; super 30s to 31s per 20 stone. At Newark, on
Wednesday, there was a fair market and a good show of
samples. Wheat was moderately dealt in at last week's
advance. Barley was in good request, and advanced
fully Is a quarter on the previous quotations. In spring
corn a liberal business was done, without any change in
prices. Wheat, white 43s to 48s; red 355 to 40s; bar-;
ley, for malting 27s to 31s; for grinding 22s to 25s 4 ;
outs, old 17s to 275; beans 27s to 345. Mansfiel• 3 •
Worksop, Retford, Gainsborough, Grantham, Melte •T •
and Loughborough reports all indicate a slight advac tc
in the value of both wheat and barley. We had a shrt
supply of wheat at market to-day, and an advance of 15
per quarter was obtained. The show of barley was It IEO
limited; it made is per quarter more money. Oats E aid
beaus maintained their value.

DAL LEITH, JAN. 15.—The relative weight per four bus' self
of the three prices of wheat were 18st 21b, 18st 01b, and 17st

DUBLIN, JAN. 16.—We had but few samples of firs
far mere' wheat at this day's market, and an advance d f
about 6d per barrel was obtained. Barley and oats wars
iu better supply, and brought the currencies of Tuesday •
Full prices were demanded for foreign wheat, but fear
transactions occurred. There was rather more demand
fur Indian corn, and in some instances an advance of 6•d
per qr. was paid. Wheat, white, 20s to 255; red ditt

CORK, JAN. 16,
We have a great paucity of arrivals of foreign gre le.
The supply of home grain is also very moderate, the re'
ceipta for the week amounting to only—Wheat, 650 I irile
at 163 to 21s 6d per brl; barley, 1,229 brls at lOs to 123
4d per brl; oats, 4,905 brls at 7s to lOs 9d per brl. Ttbe
value of each description of grain has been firmly main"
tamped. We have a steady business doing in foreii
wheat at full rates. Of some descriptions (Polish, f7t
instance), stocks are getting light, while of Egyptit
there is none in the market. We quote Marianopl e,
244 3d to 24s 6d, Polish 22s to 223 6d, Ibraila 193 Ite
19a 6d, Egyptian 18s 6d per barrel. Barley continte is
very firm, and prime samples are still very scarce. TI
high pretensions of holders check business in oats, at
we have, therefore. no sales of any importance to notic ti•
We quote the value of white lis to 118 3d, of black,
103 6d per barrel, free on board. We have a steady con'
sumptive demand for fkur, stocks of which still continue
light, while factors and millers are both indisposed le
press sales of the article, as in the present aspect of the
wheat market they naturally look for higher rates, which
indeed, even now are partially obtainable. The trade in
Indian corn continues dull, and the business passing to
this grain is still very restricted. We quote the extreme
value of Galatz 6/ 12s 6d to 6/ 15s per ton.
