THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LrvEnroot, MARCH 2.—There is a moderate inquiry for
wheat. Holders show much firmness, and the full prices of
Tuesday are paid. Flour is in better demand, but not dearer.
Indian corn is in fair request at Tuesday's rates. In some in-
stances a little more money is paid. Other articles unchanged.
GLASGOW, MARCH 2. The trade dull, and no change in
prices since Wednesday. The business doing is quite at a
moderate retail trade.

WAKEFIELD, MARCH 2.—We have fair arrivals of most
articles. The prices of last week are fully maintained for
wheat, with a pretty good demand. No alteration in the value
of barley, fine qualities are scarce and sell readily. Oats and
shelling sell in retail at late prices. Beans rather higher.

EEITER MARKETS, MARCH 2.—Cattle market—The
supply of beasts was large, and quite equal to the demand,
whilst the number of sheep driven in was very limited. Good
fat beef was sold for 8s per score, but a very few prime articles
sold for nearly, if not quite, 9s per score. Store bullocks were
a complete drug, and not worth more than 5s per score. A
few working oxen were sold at tolerable prices, from 18/ to 201
lOs per pair. Cows and calves were in request, and Devon'
sold from 9/ to 14114,. A lot of twelve Alderney heifers were
sold by auction at from Si lOs to 101 10s each ; butchers calves,
5d to 6d per lb. Not much above 300 sheep were driven m,
some of the best small fat wethers made 6d per lb, but the
general ran was wethers Nd, ewes 5d ; store hogs sold at 16s
to 20s, fat ditto 25s to 35s each. Pork Carcases—The supply
was larger than last week, and the price a trifle less, ranging
from 7s to 8s 4d per score. Pannier—The market was mode-
rately supplied, with no difference in the price of poultry and
dairy produce. Corn Exchange—The attendance has been
very small, owing partly to the farmers being busy, preparing
the land for the spring corn, and partly to their reluctance to
sell their wheat at present prices. Up to one o'clock scarcely
anything has been done, the few parcels of warranted quality
that have changed hands have sold at from 6s 3d to 6s 6d per
bushel ; barley, 3s 6d to 4s per bushel; oats, 2s to 2s 6d ;
this latter price being only given for seed oats. Fine flour has
sold at from 37, to 39s per sack of 280 lbs.
Wszu MOM, MARCH I.—The following are the prices of corn
in our market this day :—White wheat 183.6 d to 20s 6d; ditto
red:l6s 6d to 18s 6d ; beans 12s to 16s per load ; barley 293 to
30s per qr ; oats, 9d to Ild per stone. An average supply.
NavrroaT CATTLE MAREET.—The weather on Wednes-
day was not propitious to the success of this week's market ;
there was rather a small supply of stock, which changed hands,
however, pretty readily. There were some excellent Devon
steers offered for sale by Mr. Booth, butcher, which will grace
the shambles of Mr. Robert Duckham, Mr. Channing, &c., on
Saturday. There was also a fine lot of oxen in the market, the
property of Mr. John Jones, of Llanartheri, though they did
not attract a purchaser. Irish horses were in plenty, and some
few were sold at:pretty goodtfigures , but their condition did
not excite much admiration. Beef sold at from 40. to 5c1.;
shipping beef, from 21. 2s. to 2/. 4s. ; mutton, 6d. to 60. ;
veal, 6/td. to 7d. • pigs, 9s. to 9s. 6d. per score. Cows and
calves sold. heavily.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE
VISION.—THE EYES.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
—Optical improvements to enable persons at an ad.
vanced age to read with ease and to discriminate objects
with perfect distinctness. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons,
opticians, hare invented Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest
transparent power. The valuable advantage derived
from this invention over the Spectacles now in common
use is, that instead of vision becoming strained, heated,
weakened, and in numerous cases seriously injured, it is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu-
pation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less
magnifying power, and that which is a matter of the
greatest consequence is that they do not require the
frequent change to further helps. Also, Achromatic
Telescopes, Opera Glasses, invisible and all kinds of
Acoustic Instruments, for relief of extreme deafness.
Caution—Not in any way connected with a person
putting up the same name in their immediate neigh.
bourhood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent
mistakes be cautious, and observe—Only to be had at 39,
Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
A JEWEL, NOT IN A TOAD'S HEAD.--On Wed-
nesday, an ox belonging to Mr. James Cobb, fleater,
was slaughtered, and, strange to say a gold breait-pin
was found in its stomach. The point was w, rn away,
and the stone in it much corroded i,y gastric juice.—
