THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

HULL, MAY 8.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states :
We have again to report a week of great inertness in every
branch of the trade. The above import, as regards whet,
may probably be regarded as the last of any moment until a
cessation of Danish and German hostilities removes the present
blockade of the northern and near ports. The character of
the present supply is good useful red wheat, of which we have
now a nice choice. The dulness in Mark-lane yesterday
affected our trade to-day; farmers brought a small supply, and
English wheat can only be written Is per quarter lower; fo-
reign, though the actual business was exceedingly limited, was
more inquired for at 2s decline. Barley of fine quality meets
fair sale, and grinding goes off at late prince. Less business
passing in heans and peas, while oats are rather more sought
after. With continued small arrivals of linseed we are unable
to note any alteration in prices. Less doing in cakes at the
prices of last week; the stock on hand very small. Rapeseed
fully as dear, and cakes in gocd demand at the full quotations
of last week. No alteration in bones.
The following are the present prices of grain :
