THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 12.—Easterly winds still prevail, and our
arrivals consequently are very short, but a favourable change
ould ring us in a fleet of large vessels, grain laden. At
yesterday's market there was a moderate sale for wheat to
country buyer, at Tuesday's price, but the town dealers bought
sparingly. There was a fair sale for barrel flour, at an ad-
vance of 3d per barrel. Oats fully supported late rates. Oat-
meal rather dolt 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. 35s per
4011 b. was accepted for the finest )ellow 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 of
the trade is fully supported to-day, but there is not much boo-
nest passing.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MAY 10.—To day the nutty
bers at our market were—cattle, 6.*_,3 ; sheep, 697 ; lambs, 144'
The greater part of the cattle were of very superior qualitY:l
Sales ruled slow at barely former rates, but ultimately a go"
clearance was effected. A few left unsold. Best ox beef 46h
second quality 40s to -14 s, cows, bulls, and inferior beasts, frolo
34s to 36s per cwt., sinking the offal. The supply of sheep
was equal to the demand. Best aged wethers brought 6d pet
lb., second 5d to Sid per lb., clipped sheep 5d per lb., sinking
the offal—all sold. There was a good supply of lambs—th°!!
in condition sold at from 16s to 22s per head, according L"
quality.

BELFAST, MAT 10.—The supplies of grain since Friday
have been small, and in oats and oatmeal are unequal to the
demand. Wheat must be noted the turn lower, and in foreign
an abatement of 5s per ton would readily be made to induct'
sales. Odessa, 9/ 5s to 101; Petersburgh, 8/ 10s to 9.' 109;
Baltic wheats of fine quality, 10155 to 11/ 5s per ton. Float
—Millers fine flour a slow sale, at my quotations ; coarse In
fair demand, and prices well maintained. American barrel,'
24s to 255. Barley sells freely at last week's prices. Oats
are wanted, and readily bring the advance of 6d noted en
Friday. Oatmeal in moderate demand, at fully the advance
of 3d noted in my last. Indian corn in fair demand at 815•
to 8/ lOs per ton for yellow, and 2s 6d to 5s less for white.
Coax, MAY 11.—The grain trade throughout the kingdoms
has been dull, but mote so in London than in the Englisa
provincial or Irish markets, that market having been affects
by large arrivals of foreign grain. Here, except in the article
of Indian Corn, in which a moderate business has been dorT
'
we have had little activity in the trade, with however but
in change in prices. The arrivals of foreign grain have been
few, while the receipts of home produce are very trifling• r
the green market we observe v.!ry little change in pricer, the
quantity offering being so small as to be taken readily. Pre-
pared Irish wheat of inferior quality, such as would fetch 21"
to 22s per barrel, is inquired for, and would sell readily to mar
secondary descriptions of flour, which are in demand.
."
foreign wheat but little business has been transacted, and the
tendency of prices is downwards. A few parcels of black oatts
have changed hands at lOs 6d to lls per barrel, free on boards
which may be considered the current value of the article. The
finest descriptions of flour continue slow of sale, but for se-
condary and coarse flours we experience a good demand at full
prices. A fair business has been done in Indian corn at an ad-
vance of 2s 6d per ton, prime Galata having been sold in some
instances at 8/ 15s, the article commanding readily 81 12s 6d per
ton, a figure which last week we stated to be scarcely obtainable.
