cepted are rather under those current on this day week. i

26 bags Barbadoes Ginger at 36s per cwt.
S2IRITS.—There are several buyers of Leeward Island
Rum, but holders asking higher rates, caused the busi-
ness done to be small, and Is 5d to is Gd is the:value
proof. East India met witji a fair sale, and 200 hhds
were sold at is 3d to is 3id proof. In Jawaicia a
good business has been concluded to supply home
and export orders whilst former rates are well
supported. The sales are 550 hhds at 2s 4d to
2s 10c1 for plain and mid quality 30 to 40 per cent over

of the batter descriptions, and former rates are well sup-
porte 1 for black and silvers. A public sale of 70 bags

TUB COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. 26.—The arrivals this week are
c 3nstuerable of most articles. The present damp weather
has great effect upon the condition of wheat, and damp
s are difficult to dispose of at a decline of 2s per
quarter; vthilst fine dry parcels are taken slowly at a
redaction of is per quarter. N 3 change in the value of
good barley, but inferior sorts are cheaper. Oats and
shelling are the turn cheaper. Beans without change.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 26.—The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise since Tuesday have been to a fair extent, but
from foreign ports they are unusually limited. The ex-
ports continue to be quite unimportant. The trade has
been extremely quiet, and without material alteration
in the value of any article. A great deal of rain has
fallen during the last two or three days. At this day's
market there was only a thin attendance of the town and
country trade, and an extremely slow sale was experi-
enced for wheat, at barely the prices of Tuesday for
foreign, while a reduction 1(1 per 701 b. had to be sub-
mitted to in the few transactions reported in new Irish.
Oats and Oatmeal were in limited demand at our late
quotations. Barley, beans, and peas wore rather easier
to buy. Flour, both sacks and barrels, were difficult to
move, and less Money would have heen taken to effect
sales. Indian corn remains unchanged in value, with a
limited retail demand.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 26.—About 450
hhda and tierces West-India is the quantity reported as
sold here since our last, and prices were generally 6d
per cwt higher than those current at the end of last
week ; in other descriptions of raw sugar the transac-
tions aro unimportant. The refined market is more
lively, and prices are perhaps rather stiffer. Rum is in
fair demand at former rates.—Bristol Mercury.
EXETER MARKETS, OCT. 26.—Cattle market—The
market was well but not largely supplied. Fat bullocks
sold at about the same rate as last week, 85 per score
for very good beef, and perhaps a rather larger sum in a
few instances. For one very fine heifer, estimated at
34 score, and fit for the Christmas market, 16/ was asked,
or about 9s 6d per score, but it was not sold, nor must
the price asked for it be taken as any criterion of those
obtained. Really good cows and calves met a brisk sale,
at 10/ to 121 each, but inferior ones were not much asked
for. Poor barreners were a drug, and not worth more
than 41 to 4s 61 per score, but good fresh articles sold at
5s to 5s 6d. There were but very few steers in the mar-
ket. The supply of sheep was moderate; fat wethers
must be quoted 41d to sd; ewes, 4(1 to 41(1 per lb.
Keeping sheep sold freely, at 30s to 33s each. Pork
Carcases—The supply was rather less than that of last
week, but there is no alteration in prices which
ranged from 6s to 7s 6d per score. Pannier—Tur-
keys, 4a 6d to 6s each; geese, 4s to 61 ditto; ducks,
3s 6d to 4s 6d per couple; fowls, 2s to 4s do.; par-
tridges, 2s 6d to 3s per brace; pheasants, 5s 6d to 6s
ditto; woodcocks, .5s to 6s ditto; snipes, is 6d ditto;
hares, 2s 6d to 3s each; roasters, 3s 6d to 5a 64 ditto;
butter, lid to is per lb; eggs 14 for Is ' • potatoes, 8d per
score ; turnips, 4d ditto; onions, 141 b for la. Corn
Exchange, one o'clock.--It had been announced that the
market would commence at twelve o'clock to-day, but at
that hour there were only two factors and a very few
growers present, and up to one o'clock but little business
has been done. The factors refuse to give the prices of
last week, and the growers do not seem inclined to give
way. Some very good samples have changed hands at
5s 3d, and hitherto but little has been done at a higher
figure. Foreign wheat retains its value, for any inferior
reds 38s per quarter is asked, for good ditto 42e, and for
fine wheat Belgian, 47s per quarter; but these prices
must be considered nominal. In barley but little is
doing; 3s 6d per pushel seems to be about the figure
which the malsters were inclined to buy at. The oat
market is very firm; new oats must be quoted at 2s to
2s 4d, and old oats 2s 8d per bushel. Fine flour 30s to
32s per sack of 2801bs.
BARNSLEY, OCT. 25.—A very considerable amount of
business was done in wheat at an advance of 2s. per
quarter. Barley sold at 111 la 4d per qr, and butter
from 10d to is per lb.

KNAREsDoIIOUGII, OCT. 24.—The market was very
barely supplied with corn of all descriptions, and pur-
chasers very scarce. Prices continue much the same as
last week. Wheat 4s 6d to 5s 61, beans, 4s 3d to 5s
per bushel, barley 26s to 28s, oats 16s to 20s per qr.
WETHERDY, OCT. 25.—White wheat 17s to 2ds, red
do 14s to 17s ; barley 263 to 30s per qr, beans 12s to
14s per load, oats 8d to ltd per stone.
RIPON, OCT. 25.—Our market was well supplied with
wheat, but it was generally soft, and sales ♦ery dull at
last week's prices. The supply was also good of oats
and barley. In prices we note no alteration. No beans
were offered for sale. White wheat„ 5s 6d to 6s 3d,
red do 4s 9d to 5s 9d, barley 24s to 30s ; oats 15s 6d to
22s 6d per quarter.
SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 25.—With a fair supply of each
kind of corn at our market to-day, the price of wheat
and oats remains the same as last week. For barley we
must reduce our quotations is to 2s per q'. In flour no
change. New wheat .5s to 5s 6d, old ditto 5s 9d to
6s 3d per 5 stones; new oats 8d to W, old ditto 9d to
10d per stone ; malting barley 23s to 245, grinding barley
21s to 22s per quarter of 32 stones; superfine flour 35s
to 365, seconds ditto 30s per sack of 20 stones.
NORTHALLERToN, OCT. 24.—Wheat 4s 9d to 5s 6d,
oats is 9d to 2s 6i, beans 4i 63 to 4s 91, barley 33 61 to
4s per bushel.
DENBIGH, OCT. 24.—Although the attendance to-day
was the u,ual average, business was slack, and the mar..
ket wore a rather dull appearance. Wheat, 13s 6d to
14s 6d ; barley, 8s 61 to 9s 61 ; oats, 4s 6d to 6s per
hohbet. Fresh butter, 9d to 103; salt do, 7id per lb.
MOLD, OcT. 24th.—A tolerable attendance, but busi-
ness far from brisk ; and little alteration in prices since
last week, the averages to-day being wheat 14s, barley
8s 6cl, oats 55 61 per gobbet.

RIM., OCT. 233,—0n1y a limited business passing in
wheat, yet last week's quotations were mostly supported,
except those of the inferior qualities, which fetched only
14s 6 1 per 1681bs. Barley moved off slowly at low rates
Oats, beans, and peas were each dull.
