THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, MAaca 30.—The supplies of wheat and
beans are large, and good of other articles. There is a mode-
rate business passing in wheat at the prices of this day se'n-
night. No change in the value of barley ; good English
being scarce, sells readily. Oats, shelling, and beans are on
very limited demand, and somewhat cheaper.

NEWBURY, MARCH 29.—With a moderate supply of
wheat, we have rather more doing than for some few weeks
past, but we can note no improvement in prices from the low
depressed rate so long prevailing. Barley, moderate supply ;
fine malting, of which the quantity offering is very small,
fully supports late rates; grinding almost unsaleable, but seed
qualities in fair request at late rates. Beans, peas, and oats,
short supply, but fully equal to the demand. Late rates barely
supported. Seeds sold slowly at late rates.
LIVERPOOL MARCH 30.—At this day's market there was
a fair attendance of town and country trade and some consi.
derable isles of wheat were effected, but in most cases a reduc-
tion of Id per 701bs. had to be submitted to. Oats and oat-
meal moved off slowly at late rates. In barley and peas there
was little done ; but Egyptian beans must be noted dearer.
Only a moderate demand was experienced for barrel flour, and
23s per barrel must be quoted as the top price of Western
Canal. Indian corn met with a free sale, and rather raore
money was realised for prime yellow.
EXETER, MARCH 30.—Cattle—The market to-day has
been a very large one, a greater number of beasts and sheep of
all kinds having been driven in than for many weeks previous.
Fat beef sold at from 8s toSs 6d per score. Cows and calves
plentiful, at from 9/ to 14f. Barreners 55 per score, and good
fresh ones a trifle higher. Graziers complain that poor stock
is comparatively higher than fat. Steers, 9/ to 111 each ;
working oxen, 251 to 30/per pair; butchers' calves, 4d to sirl
per lb. The best fat wether hog sheep were worth 6d per lb ;
good fat wethers, sbd ; ewes, 5d per lb. Store hogs, 25s to
30s each ; couples, 35s to 401; ditto. Pork Carcases—An
average supply, about the same in number as for that of the
last three w eeks. Prices ranged from 7s to 8s per score.
Pannier— Turkeys, 5s 6d to 7s each ; ducklings, 5s to 6s 6d ;

5s 6d to 6s per couple ; roasters, 4s 6d to 6s each ; butter,
Is 2d per lb ; eggs, 20 for Is; potatoes, 13d to 16d per score.
Corn Exchange—Not much business has been done to-day.
English wheat has ranged for best samples, from 6s to 6s 46d
per bushel, but we have only heard of one miller who has
given the latter price. Foreign red wheat, 44s to 465 ; white
ditto, 48s to 50s per quarter; barley, 3s 9d to 4s; oats, 2s 2d
to 2s 6d per bushel. Fine flour, 34s to 37s per sack of 2801bs.
CHELTENHAM, MARCH 29.—Wheat was from 40s to 4es;
barley, 25s to 30s ; oats, 20s to 30s per quarter. Hay. 70s to
80s ; and straw, 35s to 45s per ton. The general average of
last week's sales was, for wheat 475; barley, 28s; and oats, 22s
per qr.

11 lOs 5d ; beans, 11 12s Od.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 30.—The trans-
actions in our sugar market, owing to the absence of supplies,
have been of too trifling a description to call for any report this
week. The refined market is quoted dull, but not lower.
The demand for rum does not improve.—Bristol Mercury.
