THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL CORN MARKET, MARCH I.—Of English wheat
there is a good; supply, which has met a slow sale at last
week's prices; foreign, more firm, and Polish red at an im-
provement of about Is per quarter on prices that have been
taken througb the previous week. Flour in limited demand,
and at a decline of Is per sack. The malting barley trade
continues very inactive at unaltered values, and for grinding
qualities there has been a greatly lessened sale at a further de-
cline of I. per quarter. Oats are without the slightest im-
provement, and prices more in favour of buyers. In foreign
beans and peas very little doing.

MATLOCK Fair.-This fair, which was held on Monday,
was one of the most flat and spiritless affairs ever known at a
similar season. The show of cattle was scanty, and those ex-
hibited were by no means of first-rate quality, while the buyers
were neither numerous or anxious for business. A few in -
calvers and fresh barrens changed hands at tolerable prices, but
we do not hear of any other transactions in stock worthy of
notice. The town, however, towards evening, began to ap-
pear snore gay and animated, in consequence of the influx
of railway workmen and rustic belles and beaux, but even
these would be compelled to provide, or create their amuse-
ments, as although the day was remarkably fine, the giants,
dwarfs, fire-eaters and magicians of the north, south, and all
sorts of places, stopped at home—or at least did not visit
Matlock to astonish it with their wonders. It was remarked
that the fortnightly market at Bakewell bad the effect of re-
ducing the amount of business formerly transacted at this fair.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—BiIIions Complaints, Indiges-
tion, Flatulency, and Affections of the Liver may be
Cured by Holloway's Pills.—Symptoms indicative of
these disorders are a feeling of nausea, distention and
spasmodic pain in the stomach, sense of oppression and
sinking after eating, want of appetite, heart burn,
languor, dejection of spirits, and general debility. The
removal of the cause of complaint is the most important
step, for which have recourse to Holloway's Pills,
as they possess such cleansing and renovating properties
that the action of the liver is speedily corrected, the re-
dundancy of bile carried off, the stomach strengthened,
the spirits revived, and the patient is restored to perfect
health. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Iloilo-
way's Edttiblialnrant, 244, Strand, London.
