THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LxvxarooL, 111Aucn 3.--At our Corn-exchange yesterday
wheat was in moderate request for consumption, and fully
Tuesday's prices were obtained. Several purchases were made
for removal into the interior. There was a better demand for
flour, and sacks and barrels were not so easy to buy as on Tues-
day. There was a limited demand for oats and oatmeal, but
prices stand unchanged. The sales of barley, beans, and peas,
were at Tuesday's rates. Indian corn was in good demand for
Ireland, and 6d per quarter dearer ; 30s 6d per 4801 b. was
made of northern flat yellow corn. The business passing to-
day is principally in Indian corn, which brings yesterday's
prices. No change in the value of any other article of the
trade, and scarcely anything doing in them.

111.xNCHESTER, MARCH 3.—A moderate consumptive de-
mand for flour has been experienced during the week, without
any rna:erita vzrnition from tae prices cu i rent on the preceding
market day ; whilst oatmeal, on the contrary, has continued in
very languid request, and to effect sales it was necessary to
submit to somewhat lower terms.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 2.—The indifferent
show of samples offering has caused the past to be a dull week
in our market ; the sales since our last report scarcely reaching
250 hogsheads West India, for which extreme prices have been
obtained, and with the exception o f a few hundred bags o
Mauritius to the grocers, no transactions whatever in other de-
scriptions are reported. The refined market is rather firmer...—

CORK, MARCH 2.—Some heavy rain has fallen since our
last, but the weather generally has been dry and cold, as well
as favourable for out-door work. The appearance of the
country is on the whole promising, though in some few locali-
ties the young wheat plant does not look as healthy as usual.
This, however, is not surprising, considering the wet and un-
favourable weather we have gone through. The general as-
pect of the trade throughout these countries is still that of life-
lessness and inactivity. When, however, we take into coml..
deration the great revival of and improvement in trade in the
manufacturing towns of England—Manchester, Birmingham,
Leeds, &c.—which are now in a state of great and increasing
prosperity ; and, when we take into account, also, the cheer
ness of all the necessaries of life at present, we are
sanguine in the belief that we must shortly have
more life infused into the trade, and a larger
and healthier business doing. The arrivals of foreign gram
have not been so extensive as of late. The receipts of home grabs
are very limited, and we have little change in the value of any
article except oats, which are in demand for seed purposes
and have advanced in consequence. In prepared wheat we
have nothing doing, and the business passing in foreign is very
limited. We quote the asking prices of Polish Odessa,
25s 6d to 265, of Marianople 27s per bl. A few transactions
have taken place in grinding barley. Malting samples, which
would fetch high prices, are scarce. In oats we have no sales
to report. We quote their current value 9s 6d to 9s 9d for
blacks. The trade in flour is dull, and bakers confine their
purchases altogether to the supply of their immediate wants.
We have had a larger business passing in Indian corn, with
a firmer feeling manifested in the trade, but without any
alteration in prices. Indian meal continues to meet but &
moderate inquiry. Flour—Firsts 14s 6d to 155.; extra 16s;
seconds 13s od to 14s Od ; households Ils to 12s ; thirds 85 to 100

BELFAST, MARCH I.—The past month has not realized
the expectations, which were pretty general, of an advance in
markets after the release of bonded grain on the Ist ; for, el'
though prices did rally during the first half of the month, 7,4
there was a weakness in the tone of all the markets, which 111
dicated a speedy reaction, and already we have had a depressio:
in prices even lower than before the opening os 11.1"1'•
general business of the country, however, improves, and thewith
consumption of breadstuffs rather Oa" keeps pace WI
the supplies, which gives - strength (wanted before) to the
opinion that we a*- the eve of a steady improvement, both in
denten a arid iarce. We have had unusually fine weather for
cue season throughout the month, with the exception of the
past few days of this week, which were severe; and the
various labours of the spring are more forward than they
have been, at the same season, for many years. Wheat, heavily
and oats, have been sown to a large extent, and we have
more early potatoes planted than in any former year. Wheat
—The supply at market is small, and prices barely maintained.
Some store lots of home-grown sell at 101 to 10/ 7s 6d ;
French, at la' 15s to Ill; and American, 11/ to 11/ 15s pe_r
ton. Flour, a slow sale, at somewhat lower prices. Barley is
in moderate demand, at full prices. Oats sell at about former
prices, and the supply is scarcely equal to the demand. Oat-
meal, of prime quality, is 2d to 3d, and other sorts 4d to 64
lower on the week. Indian Corn—Yellow sells at 7110, to
7/ 12s 6d, and white, at 715 s to 717 s 6d per ton, being a re'
duction of 2s 6d on the former, and 2s 6d to 5s on the latter.

THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.---
The trade of this town during the past week has been brisk",
although the demand for iron throughout the district is re-

the possibility of competition.

and Body Cured after Seventeen Years' duration by Hol-

W. Staples, dated Belgrave-gate, Leicester, November 9,
1848. To Professor Holloway, Sir,—" I was an invalid
for seventeen years, suffering dreadfully with painful
ulcers in my legs, and different parts of my body; during
this period I was attended by several moat eminent sur-
geons, but their remedies failed to do me the least good.
I then commenced using your Ointment and Pills, and
by these invaluable Medicines alone, I am pleased to
state that in a short time all the wounds were soundly
healed, and lam restored to excellent health." Sold by
