THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, Nov. 2.—The greatest portion of the
late heavy arrivals of wheat which were unsold has gone
to store and is not offered. The show to-day is con-
sequently by no means great. There is no pressure, at
the same Limo so little activity, that the rates of last
week are not exceeded for even best dry sorts, and damp
continues to sell heavily. Fine barley fully as dear, low
rates are submitted to for common qualities. Oats and
shelling do not vary.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 2.—Our arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise since Tuesday have been to a fair extent of
wheat, oats, oatmeal, and flour. From Canada wo have
received 2,451 barrels of flour, but from foreign ports,
with the exception of 3,774 quarters of Indian corn, the
supplies are quite unworthy of notice. The exports
continue trifling. The trade has been extremely languid,
and new wheat and oats have been rather easier to buy.
In other articles there has been no alteration. At this
day's market there was a thin attendance of the trade,
and wheat was in very limited request at a reduction of
Id per 701 b on old and beat runs of new Irish, but
inferior qualities of the latter were fully 2d lower. Oats
moved off slowly, and a further decline of id per 451 b
had to be submitted to. Oatmeal neglected, but without
material change is value. The same remark applies to
barley, beans, peas, and Indian corn. Flour, both sacks
and barrels, met a very slow sale, and the turn was in
favour of the buyer in the few transactions reported.
NEWBURY, Nov. I.—The quantity of wheat pitched
to-day is rather moderate for the season of the year, the
trade in which presents a firm aspect, and although we
do not note any advance, yet the rates obtained are
fully equal to the very highest prices given last week.
Barley, moderate supply; fine malting realised late
rates; other sorts more difficult to sell, at rather a do.wne
ward tendency in prices. Beans, oats, and peas, snort
supply, and late rates about supported.
ENTER, Nov. 2.—Cattle Market—The market has
to-day been fairly supplied, whilst the sale generally has
been brisker than f‘ r several weeks past, and generally
with some improvement in price. For the very best fat
beef 9s per score has been obtained; but generally prices
have not reached this figure, very good beef having been
bought at 8s 6d per score. Cows and calves have not
been in much request, and sold at from 71 to 131. Fresh
barreners, 5s to 5s 6d; steers, 61 to 91 each. The supply
of sheep was moderate, and nearly the whole were
quickly sold. Fat wether sheep were worth full 5d per
lb; ewes, 41 to 4id. Keeping wethers told at 28s to
35s each, and were eagerly bought by the farmers to
eat off the turnips. There was a large supply of pigs.
Pork Carcases—The supply was about equal to that of

last week, but there was a slight advance in prices,
which ranged from 6s 3d to 7s 8d per score. Pannier
—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 6s each; Geese, 4s to 5s 6d
ditto; ducks, 3s to 4s 6d per couple; fowls, 2s 3d to 4s
ditto; pheasants, 5s 6d per brace; partridges, 2s 9d to
3s ditto; woodcocks, 4s 6d to 5s ditto; snipes, is 6d ditto;
hares, 2s 6d to 3s each; rabbits, 9d to 10d ditto; roasters,
3s 6d to 5s 6d ditto ; butter, lld to is per lb ; eggs, 12
to 14 for is; potatoes, 8d per score; turnips, 3d to 4d
ditto. Corn Exchange, one o'clock—Up to this hour
there has been but few millers in the markets, nor has
the attendance of farmers been numerous. For the best

wheat Id per lb has been given, or from 5s 2d to 5s 5d
per bushel. At these rates the farmers have not been
willing sellers; all who can hold are doing so, in the
hope of getting a more remunerative price; had the
millers, therefore, been in want of supplies, they must
have paid higher prices. Barley is about 3s 6d per
bushel. Oats, 2s to 2s 2d. We heard but of one sort of
foreign wheat in the market, French Red, which sold at
,tOs per quarter. Fine Flour is rather lower, and must
be quoted 29s to 31s per sack.
BrasToL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 2.—There has been
a very great demand for raw sugars this week, both
from the grocers and refiners, and the offices have been
nearly cleared, at an advance of about 6d per cwt. Re-
fined goods are is dearer, and in short supply. Rum
steady, with more inclination shown by the dealers to do
business at the present very moderate prices.—Bristol

Mercury.
BIRMINGHA.M, Nov. I.—During the present week
the transactions in the trade have again been on a limited
scale, and where sales have been effected rather lower
prices were submitted to. Barley difficult to quit in
quantity, but not lower in price. Only retail sales re-
ported in oats. Beans and peas held for quite as much
money. At this day's market there was a fair supply of
wheat from the farmers, and dry samples realised quite
as much money, whilst damp parcels were lower. Fine
barley declined is per quarter. Grinding qualities found
buyers to a fair extent, at former prices. On oats, the
turn was in favour of the buyer. Beans firm, but less
in request. Peas rather dearer.
KNARESDOROUGH, OCT. 31.—A1l descriptions of grain
to-day had a downward tendency. The market was very
dull, barely supplied, and purchasers scarce. Wheat,
4s 6d to 5s 3d, beans, 4s Od to 4s 6d per bushel, barley,
245 to 265; oats, 16i to 18s per qr.
NORTHALLERTON, OCT. 31.—Wheat 4s 6d to 5s 6d,
oats is 8d to 25 4d, beans 4s 6d to 4s 9d, barley 3s 6d to
4s per bushel.
RIPON, Nov. I.—Our market was well supplied with
grain this day, the samples of wheat generally soft and
dull of sale, at a reduction of 2s per qr from last week's
prices. Barley and oats heavy at the quotations.
White wheat„ 5s 6d to 6s Od, red do 4s 6d to 55 6d,
barley 24s to 28s ; oats 15s 6d t02236d per quarter.
BARNARD CASTLE, OCT. 31.—Red wheat lOs 6d to
