THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, JUNE 15.—The supply of wheat is small, and
fresh qualities of English being very scarce are taken readily
at Is per quarter advance; other descriptions are held firmly
at this enhancement, but do not go off so freely. In oats,
shelling, or beans, there is very little passing. and prices tend
downwards. Nothing doing in barley except for grinding pur-
poses, in which there is no change in value.

NEWBURY, JUNE 14.—The supply of wheat is very mode.
rate, but the trade continues in the same lifeless state, with very
little demand for any description ; and, although vi e cannot
note any decline from the rates of last week, yet a good part of
the supply remains unsold. Beans, peas, and oats short supply,
and firmly support late rates.
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 15.—At our Corn-exchange this morn-
ing wheat and American flour were in steady request for con-
sumption, and the better qualities of both realised an advance
of Id per bushel and 6,1 per barrel. In sack flour no change
occurred. Oats and oatmeal were quiet, without variation in
value. There was a good demand for barley, beans, and peas,
and prices were fully supported. Indian corn met a fair sale,
at a decline of Gd per quarter on yellow corn, but in white
there was no alteration.
EXETER, JUNE 15.—Cattle—The supply of bullocks, al-
though large, was not equal to that of last week (except fat
bullocks), but that of sheep was very large. Fat bullocks sold
very freely, at last week's rates ; 9s for the best heifer beef,
the price generally being from 8s to 93. Cows and calves were
scarce, and must be quoted from 8/ to 13/. Barreners were
not very plentiful, good fresh ones were worth 6s per score;
poorer sorts 4; Gd to 5s Gd. There were not a great many
working oxen, one of the best pairs in the market were sold
for 25/, deducting " a crown to luck." Steers sold readily at
161 to 201 the pair. About 200 rearing calves were on sale at
from 35s to 45s each ; butchers' calves, 54 per lb. Sheep sold
at about late rates, a great number being bought for the eastern
markets; fat shorn wethers, sd; ditto in their wool, 51/2d ;
ewes, about 5d ; lamb, 6d per lb ; store hogs, 28s to 35s each.
The supply of pigs was small, good size store pigs sold well;
Mr. T. Hussey offered nine breeding sows in farrow of a prime
breed, the property of Mr. Wippell ; the sale was proceeding
when we went to press. They were much admired by the
judges of the good points of a pig. Mr. Plucknett also sold
a very fine breeding sow, quite equal to either of Mr. Wip-
pell's, for 41 10s. Pork Carcases—A small supply, which
sold readily, at advanced prices, from 7s Gd to 8s 94 per score
being the general price made. Pannier—Goslings, 4s 6d to
5s 6d each; ducklings, 3s 6d to 5s per couple ; spring chicken,
2s 6d to 4s per couple ; fowls, 3s 6d to 4s 6d per couple ; leve-
rets, 2s 6d to 3s each ; butter, 9d per lb ; eggs, 18 to 20 for
Is ; gooseberries, 2%cl per quart ; rhubarb, Id per bundle ;
asparagus, is to 2s 6d per hundred; green peas, Is to Is 6d
per peck ; new potatoes, 6d per lb. Corn Exchange—Up to
one o'clock scarcely a transaction had taken place in English
Wheat, so that the quotation must be considered merely no-
minal. One or two lot; had changed hands at 6s 6d per
bushel for warranted samples, and most of the business in
wheat of this description will probably be at from 6s 3d to
6s 6d. French red wheat was offering at 42s 6d to 445. White
ditto, 475. Belgian red, 445. White ditto, 50s per quarter.
Barley, 4s. Oats, 2s 7d to 2s 10d per bushel. Fine flour sold
at 34s to 37s per sack ; but 36s must be considered the ruling
figure.— Western Times.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JUNE 15.—We have had rather
a quiet market this week, and the sales since our last report are
