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
simples ; millers require little to-day, and prices are
rather easier. Barley is now more wanted, and finost
qualities are higher. Oats and shelling go off slowly at
declining prices. The value of beaus is fully supported.
No change iu other articles.

NEWBURY, UCT. 18.—To-day being the large hiring
fair has very much interfered with the trade in corn, or
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. B• ans, 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
tour 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.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, 011 T. 19.—The offices are
still so 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, bower, 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, some of the very best
made 8s 6d per score, but the general figure was from 7s
to Bs. Cows and calves, 71 to 131 each; barreners 4s 6d
to 5s per score; butchers calves, 4id to 5d per lb. There
was a moderate supply of sheep—best wethers for the
butcher, were generally worth 4id per lb; ewes, 4d to
4id. 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 Carcases—There was a very large
supply to-day, at a considerable reduction, prices rang-
ing from 6s to 7s 6d per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s
Gd each; geese, 4s 6d to 6s ditto; ducks, 4s to 5s per
couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 4s ditto; pheasants, 6s per brace;
partridges 2s 9d to 3s ditto; woodcocks, 63 to 7s per
brace; snipes, Is 6d ditto; hares, 2i 6d to 2s 9d each;
roasters, 4s to 53 ditto. Butter, lld to is per lb; eggs 14
for Is. 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 6s 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 5s 6d.
Foreign wheat of equal quality with our native produce,
still continues relatively dearer. Inferior samples of
French red were on offer, at 38s per quarter; good
samples, 40s to 41s, whilst for good sound foreign white
wheat 47a per quarter was asked, 601bs to the bushel.
Barley must still be quoted at 3s 6,1 to about 3s 9d 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 32a 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 matters 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 15 per quarter over the currency of this day
se'nnigbt. Barley unaltered. Very little doing in oats.
Bean and Peas were both held for some advance.
SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 18.—The quantity of wheat and
barley is good, and each article sells freely. at our quo-
tations. The supply of oats limited ; prices without
variation. In flour no change. Now wheat 55 to 5s 6d,
old ditto 5c 9d to Gs 3d per 5 stones; new oats 8d to Bi-d,
old ditto Od to 10d per stone ; malting barley 24s to 265,
grinding barley 23s to 24s per quarter of :32 stones;
superfine flour 35s to 365, seconds ditto 30s per sack of
20 stones.
KNARESBOROUGII, OCT. 17.—The market to-day was
full of grain of all kinds, especially wheat, and last
week's prices were fully maintained. Wheat 4s 6d to
53 6tl, beans, 4s to 5s per bushel, barley 243 to 283, oats
18A to 213 per qr.

17s to 20s, red do 14{ to 17s ; barley 26i to 303 per
qr, beans 123 to 14s per load, oats 81,1 to lid per stone.
