THE CoUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. 19.—The arrival of wheat is less
than for the last few weeks, but there is a good show of
samples ; millers require little to•day, and prices are
rather easier. Barley is now more wanted, and finest
qualities arc higher. Oats and shelling go off slowly at
declining prices. The value of beaus is fully supported
No change iu other articles.

NEWBURY, OCT. 18.—To-day being the large hiring
fair has very much interfered with the trade in corn, of
which the supply is moderate. Wheat, most of which is
rather affected by the weather, has sold freely at an ad-
vance of Is to 2s per quarter from the rates of last
week. Barley, of malting quality, in fair request at
rather advancing rates ; grinding also firmly maintained
late rates. Beans, oats, and peas exceedingly difficult to
sell, at barely as good prices as last week.
LIVERPOOL, OCT. 19.—At this day's market there
was a small attendance of the town and country trade,
and only a limited business was done in wheat and
flour at the full quotations of Tuesday. Oats and oat-
meal were in fair request, but without change in price.
In barley, beans, and peas there was scarcely anything
doing. Indian corn was held with great firmness, which
tended to check sales.

VV
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 19.—The offices are
Still sa badly supplied with samples of West Indian that
the transactions since our last report are necessarily in-
significant in amount, but the few sales made are about
former prices. The tone of the market is, hower, cer-
tainly firmer. Refined goods are without attention.
EXETER, OCT. 19.—Cattle--The market was not so
largely supplied as last week, but there was driven in
quite enough to meet the demand. But little alteration
has taken place in prices, although there appears some
signs of improvement, the probability being that we have
seen the lowest markets for some time to come. Prime
fat beef was not very plentiful, somo of tho very best
made 8s 63 per score, but the general figure was from is
to Bs. Cows and calves, 71 to 131 each; barreners 4s 6d
to 55 per score; butchers calves, 4d to 5d per lb. There
was a moderato supply of sheep—best wethers for the
butcher, were generally worth 41d per Ib; ewes, 4d to
41. One lot of very large fat wethers were bought at
34s each, or about 41 per lb. There was a good supply
of store pigs. Pork Caroases—There was a very large
supply to day, at a considerable reduction, prices rang-
ing from 63 to 75 63 per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s
ed each; geese, 4s 6d to 63 ditto; ducks, 43 to 5s per
couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 4s ditto; pheasants, 63 per brace;
partridges 23 93 to 3s ditto; woodcocks, 63 to 7s per
brace; snipes, Is ed ditto; hares, 2: Gd to 2s 9d each;
roasters, 4s to 53 ditto. Butter, lld to is per lb; eggs 14
for 1,. Corn Exchange—One o'clock—Although the Ex-
change has been well attended, but little business has
been transacted. The growers generally seemed disin-
clined to sell the best samples of wheat (warranted)
under es per bushel, whilst the millers would have been
ready buyers could they have purchased at 5s 6d. At
this latter figure some business was transacted, and
some fair samples of wheat have also sold at 5a Gd.
Foreign wheat of equal quality with our native produce,
still continues relatively dearer. Inferior samples of
French red were on offer, at 383 per quarter; good
samples, 40s to 41a, whilst for good sound foreign white
wheat 47s per quarter was asked, 60lbs to the bushel.
Barley must still be quotei at 3s 61 to about 3s 93 per
bushel; oats were a trifle dearer and were worth 2s to
2s 3d per bushel. Fine flour is also worth more, and
must be quoted at 30s to 32s per sack of 2801bs. We
are glad to see that an effort is being made to commence
business more generally at the time appointed for that
purpose. The Exchange is open from eleven until two,
but hitherto the bulk of the business has been done
with the last half hour. It is proposed by the factors to
be in the market punctually at twelve o'clock for the
future. If the agriculturists would do the same, the
whole business of the market might be finished in an
hour, and our agricultural friends would have ample
time to discuss all mstters pertaining to agriculture
afterwards.
BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 18.—During the present week
more money has been asked for wheat, but only paid in
a very few instances, buyers preferring to reduce their
stocks. We continue to experience a good consumptive
demand for barley. Less doing in oats. Beans and peas
inquired for, and somewhat dearer. At this day's market
there was a fair supply of wheat, and the trade ruled
dull, at Is per quarter over the currency of this day
so'nnight. Barley unaltered. Very little doing in oats.
Bean and Peas were both held fors ome advance.
