April 30. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF,

COUNTRY MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 28.—There has been a large ar-
rival of vessels from America the last three days, and
they bring upwards of 40,000 quarters of Indian corn,
but not much of any other article of the corn trade. At
yesterday's market there was a good consumptive de-
mand for wheat and flour, and fully the prices of Tues-
day were obtained. Oats and oatmeal met a slow sale,
and were rather easier to buy. Barley, beans, and peas
were without change in value aad in limited request.
There was a fair sale for Indian corn at a decline, since
Tuesday, of is to is 6d per quarter. White corn was
selling at 30s 6d to 31s, up to 32s to 32 6d per 4801 b
for yellow. The trade stands unchanged to-day.
MANCHESTER, APRIL 28.—The flour trade through-
out the week has been exceedingly inactive, and so little
business has occurred that prices were almost nominal.
For oatmeal, on the c rntrary, there has been a good de-
mand at fully previous rates. The imports into Liver-
pool this week consist of a moderate quantity of flour
and a large supply of Indian corn from the United
States; the arrival from all other sources being on a very
limited scale. At our market this morning wheat de-
clined hi to 2d per 701 b. English flour moved off slowly
at a reduction of about is per sack; but American was
held firmly at the currency of this day se'nnight. In
oats no change can be noted; but oatmeal, of which
there was very little of choice quality offering, advanced
6d per load.
COLCHESTER, APRIL 28.—The advance in the price
of wheat established last week has not been sustained,
and in nearly all the markets of this district the quo-
tations of the week for this article are from Is to
2a per quarter lower. In our market to-day
even the best samples were cheaper is to is 6d
per quarter—the best white being 255, and red 42s to
445. Barley maintained its former advance, especially
for the best qualities, which were much sought after.
At Chelmsford yesterday there was a dull market for
wheat, and sales could not be effected without a❑ abate-
ment of is to 2s per quarter : the supply was large, and
the demand rather slack. White wheat was 51s to 535;
red 41a to 475; barley 27s to 30s; peas 30s to 345. Other
articles underwent no alteration in price. In the prin-
cipal markets of Suffolk wheat has also declined : the
advance of last week induced the farmers to bring for-
ward their samples freely, and the supplies have, there-
fore, been larger than known for many weeks. At Bury
the business was not limited; buyers held off, and the
quotations were barely sustained. At Ipswich higher
prices were at first asked, but eventually a reduetion of
2s per quarter was submitted to. At Woodbridge the
trade was heavy at 2s decline; the price of barley ad-
vanced. On Thursday, at Stowmarket, last week's quo-
tations were not lowered, but little business was done
at them. In some parts of this district the farmers are
complaining that the young barleys have been injured
by the late severe weather.
WINCHESTER, APRIL 28.—Corn—The new Exchange
was well attended this day both by buyers and sellers,
yet trade was exceedingly depressed, prices going back
from the advances yielded to about ten days prior. At
this the quantity of home-grown Wheats was scanty,
yet that deficiency was made up by several Southamp-
ton and other dealers offering various descriptions of
foreign-grown grain, excellent both in quality and
weight. The agreeable change in the weather, from
frost and snow to gentle rain and fertilizing sunshine,
had also the effect in 'bringing about this alteration.
Wheats from Groningen weighed 621bs per bushel,
from the Mediterranean 621bs to 63tbs ditto, from
Harnburgh and Rostock 611bs to 63ilbs ditto, from
Russia and Canada 601bs to 621bs ditto, while our best
English weighed 631bs ditto, red 621bs, second rate
not more than 581bs ditto. Indian Corn was also
to be had on easier terms for the buyers, as were
also English and American flour. The decline in best
wheats was full Is per qr, secondary ditto 2s per ditto,
inferior scarcely saleable at any price. English flour
fell is per bag of 2801bs; Canadian ditto, is per barrel.
Highest prices given. White, 54s to 56s per qr; red
ditto, 50s to 525; ditto other kinds, from 44s to 48s;
ditto English flour, from 34s to 37s 4d per sack; Cana-
dian and American, 24s to 26s 6d per barrel; bread, is
2d to is 4d per gallon loaf; white maize, 32s to 34s per
qr; yellow ditto, 31s to 33s ditto; Indian corn meal,
lis 6d per barrel of 1961b5; rye meal, 6s to 7s per 1121ba.
Barley was not either in great demand or show, conse-
quently prices gave way is per qr, and then but few
samples were disposed of. Stock—A good show of fat
sheep, lambs, beasts, calves, and pigs, yet many were
left unsold; prices for every size and quality fell full id
per lb; beasts going at 8s to 9s per score pounds; calves
at from 9s to 10s; ditto sheep, at from 3s to 3s 10d per
stone of 81bs; lambs at front 5s to 5s 8d; pigs at from
Si 6,1 to 9s 3d per score. Lean Stuck—Cows and heifers
were offered at very low figures, but few finding buyers.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 26.—At our
market to-day the numbers were—oxen, 712; sheep,
897; lambs, 6. We had a large supply of very superior
boasts on sale, the demand fur which ruled very heavy.
For all kinds of cattle a reduction had to be submitted
to before sales to any extent could be effected. Best ox
beef realised 475, seconds 445, ordinary 40s to 42s 6d,
cows, bulls, and inferior beasts, from 35s to 38s per cwt.,
sinking the offal. A good number of fine cattle turned
out unsold. We had also a pretty large supply of sheep,
taking the season into account, the demand for which
was extremely dull, and before sales could be made
sellers had to submit to a reduction of id per lb below
last week's quotations. In the case of one fine lot, we
are credibly informed that they were disposed off at 4s
a head below previous prices. A good many turned out
unsold. Best mutton barely qd, current sid, second
from 41d to 5d per lb, sinking offal.
BELFAST, APRIL 26.—The supplies of grain this week
has been small, and of oatmeal moderate. Wheat sells
pretty freely at, and for some choice lots, a little over,
the advance noted on Friday of 3d per cwt. Foreign in
better demand—say Odessa, at 10/ to 101 10s; Baltic,
101 10s to 11/ lOs per ton. Flour sells rather more freely,
and full prices are obtained. American sells from 25s to
26s per barrel. Barley maintains the advance of 3d ob-
tained on Friday. Oats are in dema:ad at rather over
Friday's rate, being 61 advance on the week. Oatmeal
is a slow sale, and Friday's advance (3d) is barely main
tained.

CORK, APRIL 27.—The receipts of home grain are
miserably small. The trifling quantity of wheat arriv-
ing is taken readily at full prices, while barley and oats
are eagerly sought after for seed purposes, and fetch
considerably advanced rates. In prepared (Irish) and
Foreign wheat we have but a very moderate business
passing, and at prices perhaps 6d per barrel lower than
could be obtained last week. We quote the value of
Irish 245, Polish Odessa 255, and Mari.anople 263 per
barrel. The market is completely bare of barley. Some
rather extensive sales of oats have been made this week
in the outporta, at prices varying from 9s 6d to 10s per
barrel; but we have not observed much business doing
in the article here. Our bakers having supplied them-
selves pretty liberally last week are not disposed to add
to their purchases. The flour trade in consequenceis

less actii-e,_but we have no change i❑ prices

In the

early part of the week holders endeavoured to ebstablish

an advance on Indian corn, but without much success.

GALASHIELS.— WEAVERS' STRIKE.—This day (F 41,4
day), the whole of the weavers in this towe,
1,000 in number (with the exception of the hands 0°;
ployed in one factory), have struck work. The catlsof
of the strike may be stated thus:—For a number m,
.
years back the weavers of this place have been in ":13
habit of receiving higher wages for their work tu"'„,
those in any other town of Scotland, Selkirk perlor
excepted; in consequence of which, the Galashiels
nufacturers have been ousted from the London 111,0
other markets, from the fact of the other parties, um,
paid lower wages, underselling them. The maned°,
turers of the town (with the exception of one firm) ace
ing that they must resort to some means for secttri;
their former trade, met, drew up a statement of
weavers prrices, in which a considerable reduction o
proposed. This day the said statement was presented t
the weavers, when, after due deliberation, they 0" ty
mously agreed not to comply with the prices offered
the manufacturers. So the matter stands between til'ed
at this time, and there is little probability of a sPeel
settlement taking place, as both parties seem deterwitt"
to standout.
