COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL.—FEB. 4.
We have again liberal arrivals of wheat, oats, flour, and
oatmeal. A large majority of the grain markets of the
United Kingdom likewise appear to have been overdone
by
supply, and, with a limited demand prices have pointed
downwards. At this morning's market, though the busi-
ness transacted was upon a small scale in any article of the
gr9.in trade, a better feeling prevailed, and the decline in
'-u
prices would appear to have met a firm check. The
,ce. I weather continues very mild and open for the season.

WAKEFIELD—FEB. 4.
Average for the week ending Jan. 31—Wheat 3,850 (Fd°'
at 48s ; barley 1,027, 34s 9Ad ; oats 137, 21s 54 ;
beans 97, 37s 91d ; peas, 10, 38s 6d. The arrivals of grain
reported this week are good. Wheat must be noted is to
2s per quarter cheaper, and the business passing is of
generally °
limited extent; our millers acting in the reserve, and
being disposed to work down their stocks, theY
report the Hour trade very dull. Barley 1s per
quartor,
v, oats fld per stone, and shelling 6d per load lower.

BRISTOL SUGAR—FEB. 4.
There has not been much doing in West India, Vinci'
pally on account of the very limited extent to which it°
brokers' offices have been supplied with samples. In °
6 . few sales effected prices have not varied materially fom
.
those stated last week. In Mauritius there has been -
more active business doing, and very nearly 1,000 b3gst
have been sold. Prices have been the turn lower than 3.
the market of this day se'nnight. In refined goods there lg
very little doing, but as grocers' stocks must be shrinkt
some improvement may be early looked for. In rum
sales aro unimportant, having been confined to a few Ply!.
cheons of Jamaica of good quality for present purposo
The prices have not transpired.
