THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, JAN. 16.

Messr. Taylor and BrM;iii's circular states—" We
hiive efanpnrative cessation of imports, and
tinder i influence the tone of value for all articles of
the tratie iancioves. There is men' desire on the part
of inland f,eters. end millers, as well as to some extent
of sneculatirs, to get into stock than we find manifested
by holders to realise their importations. The character
of the market generally is toward, firmness. This may
not unlikely grow into some improvement in price, since
it is well known that a great number of millers and
dealers are holding buck under a very mistaken idea, that
with the Ist of February we are to have an inundation
of samples, and much pressure. We have no doubt of
quite the reverse being the case; in fact, as regards this
market there is no quantity of really good wheat with
which to depress the market. A good many sales of
wheat unrier lock have been made at about 42s per qr.
fair runs of red weighing 601 b per bushel. The weather
during the week has been variable and unseasonable; a
good deal of rain has fallen, and on Sunday we had
thunder and hail; to-day is fine and dry. There was
more firmness manifested by both farmers and factors at
this day's market, with a general impression that the
trade has seen its worst. Farmers are not generally
sellers at last week's rates for best wheats, and in some
instances the turn more money was obtained, with a less
supply than of late. Very little good foreign wheat on
offer, the bulk of what remains on shipboard being either
destined for the warehouse, or sold for liberation on the
lit proximo. More inquiry for barley of all kinds. The
finer qualities are held above the prices of maltsters;
and none being at present afloat, holders are stiff in their
demands; grinding is more plentiful, but is hardly pro-
curable
,on the low rates lately taken, which were ex-
tremely tempting to the speculator. New beans have
quite recovered their late depression, and are no longer
procurable at previous low rates. Egyptians of
good quality may be purchased on favourable terms.
The market is almost cleared of the inferior qualities of
peas, and the finer descriptions were never so depressed.
There are some choice boilers in warehouse just now.
We are without stocks in the granaries of oats, but the
demand is quite insignificant. The arrivals of linseed
cease, and the market stiffens; full prices are obtainable
for ail descriptions; cakes are not pressing for sale, but
may certainly be bought on easy terms. Ft:reign have
attracted more attention during the week. We hear of
no transactions in either rapeseed or rape cakes. Bones
of al descriptions are fully as dear."

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 16.—This day's market was well
attended by millers and dealers, but the transactions were
on the most limited and restricted scale, and generally
at a small further decline in prices. Free wheat was ld
to 2d per 70. b lower; and bonded met only a slow la'
quiry, and was rather cheaper. There was a very slog
sale for oats and oatmeal, and prices were again rather
lower, 2s 6id per 451 b being the top price of good meal'
ing, and 23s 6d the price of best Irish. Barley, fer
malting, was is per quarter; and beans and peas 2s per
qua. er lower. In free flour there was no material
change, but in the few sales made buyers had a slight
advantage. Bonded was inquired for, and held &mit
at 25s for Baltimore, and 25s 6d for Western Canal.;
Indian corn gave way 2s per quarter, and corn meal 6‘l'
per barrel, at which a few sales were made.
LEEDS, JAN. 16.—We continue moderately supplied,
with grain, but fully equalto the demancli ,Sales of
wheat cannot be effected, unless at a decline of Is Per
quarter, except for the very finest qualities. Barley
meets a better demand at Is per quarter under late rates.
Oats and beans are the turn in favour of the buyer.
