THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, Nov. 16.—The supplies of wheat and
barley are great, and of other grain moderate. The
trade is exceedingly quiet to-day, and there is very little
passing in any article; the finest qualities of wheat are
retailed at a decline of is per quarter, and for inferior
samples there is little or no inquiry. Barley is in very
limited request at a reduction of Is per quarter, and only
the best meet with attention. Oats and bhelling maintain
their late value. Beans sell slowly at a decline of is
per quarter.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 16.—The market has
been very dull this week, indeed the transactions since
our last report are scarcely worth enumerating, but
prices are firmly supported. Importers show no dispo-
sition to bring forward their stocks pending the present
inactivity in the market, and the offices are consequently
but badly supplied with samples. Refined goods find a.
steady sale at former prices. Rum is held with some
confidence, and the stocks in first hands are now much
reduced.—Bristol Mercury.
EXETER, Nov. 16.—Cattle Market. —The supply of
beasts was moderate—that of sheep large. Fat bullocks
sold at prices quite equal to those of last week, 8s to
8s 6tl per score, at which they met a ready sale. Cows
and calves, 8/ to 131 each. There were but few steers
in the market, some rough ones were offered at 6/ each,
whilst for good bullocks, 121 to 131 was asked. Bar-
reners were also scarce, and must be quoted at 4s 6d to
5s per score generally, although some meaty bullocks
must be quoted higher. The supply of sheep was
large, about 300 more being driven in than on last Fri-
day. There was, however, a brisk demand, and the
greater part were sold at rather higher prices than last
week. Fat wetbers were worth 5d to sid per lb; and
ewes, 4id to sd. Store sheep must be quoted is to 21
per head higher than of late; store wethers selling
freely at 30s to 355. Pork Carcases—A pretty good
supply, which sold at 6s to is 6d per score. Pannier
Terkres, 4s 6d to 6s each; geese, 4s to 6s ditto; ducks;
3s ed to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6,1 to 4s ed ditto; phea-
sants, 5s 6d ditto; partridges, 2s 6d to 3s ditto.; wood-
cocks, 4s 6d to 5a ditto; snipes, is 6d ditto; roasters, 4s
to 55 6d ditto; butter, lid to is ditto; eggs, 12 to 14
for Is. Cora Exchange, One o'Clock—Not many sam-
ples have been shown, nor has much business been done
up to this hour. The millers were acting with great
caution, and refusing to give more than 5s 6d per bushel
for the best samples of warranted English wheat; we
believe, however, that no very large quantity could be
purchased at this price, and that were there much de-
mand prices would advance. Foreign wheat is now in a
few hands, and there is no reduction on late rates, it
still remains at a considerably higher relative value than
English; for instance French red wheat, certainly much
inferior to the best samples of Devonshire produce has
sold at 42s per quarter, or 5s 3d per bushel—whilst for
white wheat 46s per quarter was asked, but not obtained,
and as foreign wheat is sold at 60Ibs the bushel, and
English, when warranted, at 651bs, the difference in
price is material. Malting barley is not in much request.
and must be quoted at 3s to 3s 6d per bushel: Oats,
2s to 2s Id per bushel. Fine flour, 30s to 31s per sack
of 2Solbs.
BARNSLEY, Nov. 14.—A moderate amount of busi-
ness was.done in both wheat and barley, at the rates of
last week. Butter was a little higher, and potatoes at
last week's prices.
KNARESH'ROUGH, Nov. 14.—The market was well
supplied with wheat, barley, and oats, but beans were
very scarce and higher in price. In wheat no alteration.
Wheat, 4s 6d to 6s Od; beans, 4s 3d to 4s 6d per bushel;.

SCARBOROUGH, Nov. 14.—T0-day being Seamen,
hirings, our market was but badly attended, the supply
of grain was consequently but limited, though quitee
equal to the demand. The prices generally may be quotedi
the same as last week. . New wheat Cs to 5s 6d, old;'
