THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, APRIL 17.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—Our farmers
brought a very moderate supply of wheat to-day, and were
asking a smart advance upon the current rates of last week.
This checked business, millers generally being indisposed to
follow a great advance, and consequently the actual transac-
tions were limited, at 25 to 3s ever last week's top sales. A
good many foreign samples were withdrawn, or offered at
rates above the ideas of buyers. Business was restricted to im-
mediate wants at an advance of 2s to- 3s per qr. The Lest
descriptions of malting barley are is dearer, and grinding
qualities are generally held for more money. Beans are fully
2s dearer this week, and no low•sellers now on the market.
More inquiry for both oats and peas at full rates, but not many
offering. The business in linseed has been at about is per qr
advance—the noted import is from Memel. Cakes are not so
good to buy at our currency. Nothing to report in rape seed,
and rape cakes are worth about the following quotations. For
cattle bones the market is firm.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 17.—Our arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise during the week have been very trifling. From
foreign ports also the supplies are on a more limited scale than
for some time past. Our exports in the same time continue
to show a gradual increase, and comprise 1,948 quarters of
wheat, 9,199 barrels of flour, and 21,167 quarters of Indian
corn. The trade has been extremely brisk, and wheat, barrel
flour, and Indian corn have met with a free sale, at an advance
of 3d per 701 b, Is. per barrel, and 3s per quarter. Barley,
beans, and peas have also been in more request, and were the
turn dearer. Oats and oatmeal have not attracted much at-
tention. The weather has been cold and unseasonable, and
this morning we have had a fall of snow. At this day's
market, with a good attendance of the town and country
dealers, only a moderate business was done in wheat, at an
advance of 3d to 44 per 701 b, on prices of this day week.
Oats were lid per 451 b, and oatmeal is per load dearer. In
barley and peas no alteration can be noticed; but beans
brought 1 s per quarter more money. Barrel flour was held at
25s per barrel, which checked sales, and a reduction of 6d per
barrel was submitted to towards the close of the market with.
out leading to much business. Sack flour was not in much
request, but an improvement o f Is per sack must be noted.
The smart advance we experienced during the week for Indian
corn was not well maintained, and 33s 6d per quarter for fine
yellow, and 32s per quarter for white must be considered the
extreme quotation. Yellow Indian meal realised 15s per
barrel.

LEEDS Aram 17.—We have had a small arrival of wheat
to-day, which, in consequence of the Baltic ports being block-
aded, must be quoted 2s per quarter dearer than this day
se'nnight. Barley, oats, and beans are rather dearer, but we
do not think it necessary to alter quotations.
