THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, FEL 23.—The supplies are small of most
articles, and to-day there is a poor show of samples. There
is no change to note in the ♦alue of wheat and barley, and the
demand for each rather limited. Oats and shelling in fair
request, at late prices. Beans ;we fully as dear, and not many
offering.

NEWBURY, FEB. 22.—The quantity of wheat on offer to-
day is very moderate, yet more than sufficient for the demand,
which is extremely languid ; for local consumption a few sales
have been made at Is to 2s per quarter decline, but some quan-
tity remained at the close of the market unsold. Barley large
supply, and for all, except the finest malting, but little progress
could be made in selling, although offering at slightly reduced
rates. Beans, peas, and oats, a moderate supply with a fair
sale, and late rates fully supported. In seeds, rather more
doing, at full rates.
LivEnrooL, FEB. 23.—At this day's market there was a
slender attendance of dealers and only a moderate show of
wheat and other articles. The demand for wheat was limited
and confined chiefly to the middling qualities of red, at the full
prices of Tuesday. Flour was held with rather more firmness,
but few sales were effected. There was more inquiry for
Indian cern than in the past two days, yet prices were 6,1 to is
per 4801bs lower, 28s being taken for white, and 29s to 30s for
yellow. For all other articles the demand was so limited that
prices may be considered nominal.
