THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LivEarooL, MAY 2.—Easterly winds still prevail, and our
arrivals corsequently are very short, but a favourable change
would firing us in a fleet of large vessels, graM laden. M
yesterday's market there was a moderate sale for wheat 10
country buyers at Tuesday's price, but the town dealers bought
sparingly. There was a fair sale for barrel flour, at an ad-
vance ot:b1 per barrel. Oats fully supported late rates. Oat-
meal rather dull sale. Peas were Is i:er quarter dearer. Bar-
ley and beans without change. Indian corn was nearly Is per
quarter lower, and only a moderate quantity sold. 3bs
4t301b. was accepted for the finest yellow corn. There are
many orders for this article in hand for the anticipated large
arrivals with the change of wind. The price of each article o.f
the trade is fully supported to-day, but there is not much busi-
ness passing.
