THE CoUNTH Y IviARKETS.

HULL, MAY 1.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states :
The past week has certainly been the most inactive, as re-
gards the gener.-.1 business of this port, of any previous one of
this year. Exports of manufactured goods are seriously
affected through the blockade of the diffetew Germin ports,
and from the same cause our imports of foreign grain are on a
most limited scale, and will now fall tiff much more, as up to the
30th tilt neutral vessels were allowed to leave the ports where
they might be at the commencement of the blockade, our infor-
mation lead us to believe that there is only a moderate quantity
on passage to this port. It may be going beyond the province
of a trade circu ar, but we cannot refrain from expressing our ,
unfeigned regret that the Government of the country does not,
at once, and actively interfere to prevent the sad consequences
which must accrue to every branch of our commercial interest
front the present state of affairs; such interference '‘vould
effectual, and we doubt nut as to its practicability. This morn-
ing's letters look less like peace than ever. During the week'
the grain trade has been most inactive ; notwithstanding stocks
in warehouse and fresh arrivals being very small, they -axe for
the present beyond the necessities of millers, and they of
course avail themselves of this ; not many factors, are, how.
ever, disposed to give way in foreign grain, and such (espe-
cially wheat of first quality) is for the most part held at the
prices of a fortnight ago. We had to day a small supply of
reheat from our farmers, and a very quiet market, without any
notable alteration upon last week's prices. In foreign the
transactions were very limited, holders being equally disinclined
with buyers to alter their ideas, but there sNas certainly more
inquiry on the part of millers. Spring corn of all kinds a good
deal neglected during the week as well as to-day. Linseed is
fully as dear, but cakes are easier to buy. Nothing new in
rapeseed, while rape cakes are the turn dearer. Bones support
late prices.

LIVEKrooL, MAT I.—This morning's market was not so
well attended by buyers from a distance as of late, still a fair
sale was experienced for wheat, at a decline of Id per bushel
on all qualities from last Tuesday. American dour was 3d to
6d per barrel lower, with a slow sale. Good mealing oats,
being scarce, were id per bushel dearer, but inferior samples
were neglected. Oatmeal fully supported late rates. Barley,
beans, and peas were unaltered in value. The principal
busi-
ness of the day was in Indian corn, for which
noted tahberewa active
competition, and the decline of Friday, noted
fiove, was fully
