THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, JAN. 12.—The arrivals of all articles,
with the exception of barley, are very limited. We have
a steady demand for wheat, at the prices of this day
week. No alteration in the value of barley, but common
qualities sell slowly. Oats and shelling are sold on
rather easier terms. Very few beans wanted.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 12.—Arrivals large in consequence
of change of wind ; a very flat trade here to-day, and
all articles a shade lower than on Tuesday.
EXETER, JAN. 12.—Cattle—The supply to-day was
moderate, but prices generally remained about the same
as last week. Best beef commanded 9s per score. Cows
and calves were not in so much request, and sold at
from 91 to 131 each; barreners, 5s per score. There
were a few steers in the market, which sold at from 101
to 12l 108 each. Butchers' calves sid to 64 per lb. A
moderate supply of sheep, those fit for the butcher sell-
ing at from rather under 5d to Gd per lb, the ewes being
worth 5d and under, the wethers sf,i to 6d per lb. A
short supply of keeping sheep (hogs), most of ,which
found purchasers, at from 25s to 35s per head. Pork
carcases—A large supply, and the demand being dull,
prices were lower, ranging from 7s to 8s 9d per score.
Pannier—Turkeys, 4s 6d to lOs each; geese, ssto Cs Gd
ditto ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5s Gd per couple ; fowls, 3s to
4s 6d ditto; pheasants, 6s to 7s per brace; partridges, 2s
94 to 3s ditto ; woodcocks, 5s 6d ditto ; wild ducks, 4s
ditto; butter, is 2d per lb ; eggs, twelve for Is.
hares, 3s to 3s 6d each ; rabbits, is ditto. Corn Ex-
change—Samples have been freely offered, but the mil-
lers have purchased but sparely. A few samples of old
wheat were on offer at about 7s per bushel; fine war-
ranted samples, of new ditto, 6s 6d to 6s 9d; nothing
doing in foreign; barley, 3s 94 to 4s per bushel; oats,
2s to 2s 4d; fine flour, 38s to 39s per sack of 2801bs.
TsvisTocx. FAIR, .JAN. 10.—The quantity of cattle
driven in to-day, was a full average of a January fair,
and the quality pretty good. The fat bullocks met
with customers at quite former prices, but store cattle
could not find customers at any price. Butchers' cows
from 50s. upwards. Sheep were not in request, but the
few sold realized from 5d to sfd per lb. Cows and calves
scarce, at high prices.
NEWBURY JAN. 11.—The supply of wheat is only
moderate, but more than sufficient for the demand,
which is extremely slack, millers confining their pur-
chases within the narowest limits. There being but
little demand for Flour, either in Bristol or London, and
the home trade limited, their wants were soon satisfied,
and a considerable quantity remains over unsold; what
sales were made realised nearly late rates. Barley a
large supply, and but little progress made, although
offered at is to 2s per quarter decline. Beans, peas, and
oats with a moderate supply, extremely difficult to quit,
and late rates barely supported.
CHELTENHAM, JAN. 11.—We had a good market to-
day; and prices remained without alteration.

BRISTOL, JAN. 11.—At to.day's market there was a
moderate supply of English wheat ; dry new sold at
last week's prices, whilst old and inferior new were very
little demanded. English, old, 48s to 52s per imperial
quarter ; English, new, 403 to 445. Foreign wheats
were in very limited sale, but parcels under bond were
in request, though generally at is to 2s per quarter
under the rates required, which were for good to fine
Polish, red, from 43s to 445, and white from 44s to 46s
per imperial quarter in bond; foreign white, 47s to 50s
per 4801bs; ditto red, fine qualities, 45s to 48s; ditto,
ordinary qualities, 42s to 445; ditto, hard, 40s to 455.
Flour was in fair demand for immediate consumption,
and prices were unaltered: English seconds, 36s to 38s
per sack; American, &c., sweet, 26s to 28s per barrel.
The malting barley trade was very heavy, and supplies,
both of English and foreign, were unusually large; Eng-
lish is again lower by fully is per quarter, and foreign
from is to 24, with only the finest description of the
latter at present saleable; English malting, 30s to 24s
per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding, 241
to 28s per 4001bs; and for grinding the demand has
much lessened, and for these and distillery parcels quo-
tations were reduced from is to 24 per quarter. Oats
were without improvement: Devon and Welsh, 16s 6d
to 17s 6d per imperial quarter; Irish, white, ISs to 20.
per 3201b5; Irish, black, 16s to 17s 6d per imperial
quarter; foreign, none. In beans and peas there was
but very little doing. English beans brought 40s to 445;
foreign, 34s to 38s per 4801bs.
WORKINGTON, JAN. 10.—Wheat per bushel, 20s to
22s 6d ; barley, 1 la to his 6(1 ; oats, 6s 3d to 7s 6d ;
butter, per lb. 10d ; eggs, eighteen for Is ; Beef per lb.
5d ; mutton sid ; veal, 6d ; potatoes, 7d per stone ;
flour, per stone, 2s 6d ; seconds, 2s 2d ; oatmeal, is 8d;
barley-flour, is 4d.
WATHERBY, JAN. lo.—The following are the prices
of wheat, &c., in our market of this day:—White wheat,
19s to 21s ; red ditto, 17s to 19s per load ; beans, 16s to
18s ; barley, 28s to 31s per quarter ; oats, 10d to is
per stone.
RIPON, JAN. 11.—Our supply at this day's market was
tolerable, but every description of grain dull of sale, and
no variation in prices from last week's currency. White
wheat, 6s 6d to 7s ; red ditto, 6s to 6s 9d per bushel ;
barley, 30s to 32s ; oats, lls to 22s per quarter ; beans,
4s 3d to 4s 9d per bushel.
BARNSLEY, JAN. 10.—This market was very thinly
attended, and rather more inquiry was made for wheat,
which sold at from 17s to 19s per three bushels. Barley
sold at 30s to 31s, and oats from 20s to 21s per quarter.
DERBY, JAN. 12.--We have a firm market for wheat,
and prices are fully supported. Fine barley sells freely
at late rates; inferior, dull sale. No change in other
things. Wheat, 46s to 508 per 36 stone; ditto, red,
51s to 525. Barley, 30$ to 335. Old oats, 24s to 26s per
24 stone. Beans, old, 44s to 47s per 38 stone. Flour,
34s to 38s per 20 stone.
DERBY CATTLE MARKET, ,TAN. 9.—The supply of fat
beasts to-day was good, and the attendance of purchasers
was large, but all the animals would not be disposed of.
There was a large number of sheep, of most excellent
quality, and we may say that the show of fat sheep was
as good as has been for some mouths past. Fat pigs
were plentiful, but the demand was flat: fat calves were
scarce. Beef fid to sid; mutton si,i to 6d; veal 6id per
lb; pork 9s per score; rough fat 4s per stone; hides
per lb; calf skins 2d to 41.
DEststalf, JAN. 10.—The market was but thinly at-
tended, probably owing to being a very wet and stormy
day. Thero was but little business, it is said, trans-
acted.—Wheat, from 16s 6d to 17s per 1681bs ; barley,
lOs ; malting ditto, I Is per 105113 s ; butter, fresh, from
I Id to 12d per lb ; ditto, salt, 7d to 8d per lb.
LLANRWST —Our market on Tuesday last was plen-
tifully supplied with all kinds of grain and other pro-
visions. Wheat averaged from 17$ 6d to 14s 6d; bar-
ley, from lOs to 8s ; oats, 6s 6d to 6s, with a downward
tendency.
RUTLIN FAIR, JAN. B.—There appeared a tolerable
show of cattle at this fair, and a mouerate attendauce of
dealers. A number of fat ones were disposed of, at
prices which satisfied the vendors. Heifers, and other

de*criotions of cattle. were not so mech in demand, and
1., t piccs
were rather down, bet not much bwiness done. Fat
pigs were higher and much in demand, but scarcely any
were shown. Prices from 30 to 3id per lb live. The
hcrse fair was very poorly attended, and very few in the
market. The corn market was very dull : prices as
quoted last week, with very little alteration.
SCARBOROUGH, JAN. 11. —Corn—The same dullness
which we noticed last week still prevails, and as little as
pr,:. -E 'o''g if) kind rr corn. ‘v,a,

INVERNESS, JAN. 9.—To-day the business done was
principally in wheat, but was not large in amount.
High prices are Mill offered for old wheat by the bakers,
but new wheat has fallen is since our last. The price
quoted fur barley is merely nominal, few or no sales hav-
ing been effected for some time. The real value of the
article is probably is lower than our figures. Little has
been done in oats, which maintain a higher value here,
whatever the cause, than in the Morayshire markets.
We repeat last week's quotations for this grain, with
the remark that only one or two sales have been
made
