THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LivEhroor., JULY 28.—There was a limited attendance of
buyers at yesterday's market. Wheat and flour were both in
moderate request, still no change was made in the quotations
of last Tuesday for either article. A retail demand for oats
and oatmeal, at late rates. No alterations as regards barley,
beans, or peas. Indian corn was fully Is 6d to 2s per quarter
down, and the buyers will only take small quantities; 28s Per,
480Ibs may be considered a full value for the best white and
the best yellow. To-day there was no change in the value of
any article. For Indian corn there was a better inquiry.

MANCHESTER, JULY 28.—A considerable quantity of rain
has fallen during the course of the present week; but yesterday
was fine with a more settled appearance. The trade through'
out the week has ruled dull, the few transactions which occurred
in lour being confined to good sweet descriptions, which pur:
chasers succeeded in obtaining on rather lower terms;
all stale and doubtful parcels were neglected, and nominal in.
value. A moderate consumptive demand has been experiences(
for oatmeal, and the little of choice quality on the market tom'
manded rather higher higher rates. The imports into Liver-
pool consist of fair quantities of foreign and colonial wheats
beans, Indian corn, and barrel flour; but from our own coast arid
Ireland there are no arrivals worthy of notice. At our market
this morning great inactivity prevailed, and wheat barely sup'
ported the currency of this day se'nnight. So little business
was passing in flour that quotations are altogether nominal. la
oats and oatmeal no material change was apparent.

CORK, JULY 27.—We have to report another week of qu

of potatoes, again receded in value, and is a slew sale '!,„ are
quotations given beneath. Our supplies of home g.raij, are
very trifling. Of foreign also, maize excepted, the orlis
not numerous. Wheat (foreign) has declined a little in value'
and may be bought at 6d per barrel less than the currency of
last week. The transactions during the week have not been
either large or numerous. The stocks of oats held here are
very light, and, except for feeding purposes, we have had
business passing. We have little alteration to notice in tu.e
flour trade.—There is perhaps more briskness in the marker,
but prices must be quoted as at the date of our last report'
Coarse flours, being interfered with by the good supply of fief
tatoes, are in less demand than of late. The consumption od
Indian corn, from a like cause, has fallen off considerably, r!_o.,
