THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, JUNE B.—The arrival of wheat is small, yet as
millers confine their dealings to immediate wants it is equal to
the demand, and we have a steady retail trade at last week's
prices. Very little doing in oats and shelling, and bath rather
cheaper. Few beans wanted, and barley now very little in-
quired for.

NEWBURY, JUNE• 7.—Our supply of wheat to-day is mode-
rate, yet more than is required to supply the wants of the
trade. There being scarcely any demand, either east or west,
for flour, many of our mills are working short time. Although
we cannot note any actual reduction in the price of what has
been sold, yet a larger proportion remains over for want of
customers. Barley hut little in offer and very little demand
at late rates; beans, peas, and oats, short supply, yet sufficient
for the demand, at unaltered rates.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE B.—At this day's market there was but
a slender attendance of the trade, and only a moderate amount
of business was done in wheat, at a decline of Id per 70ibs on
Tuesday's prices. Oats and oatmeal were a very slow sale, but
no reduction in prices was submitted to. •• In barley, beans,
and peas there was little doing, and our late quotations were
supported. Goad brands of Western Canal flour maintained
their value in the few sales made, but inferior sorts were ex-
tremely difficult to move. Indian corn met with rather more
inquiry, and fine yellow brought 37s per quarter.
EXETER, JUNE B.—Cattle Market Large as was the
supply driven in IBA week, it was much exceeded to-day, the
quantity on sale of every description of stock being immense,
and giving the market-place the appearance of a crowded fair.
Fat beef was very plentiful ; for some very fine heifers 9s per
score were obtained. A lot of six prime oxen were sold by Mr.
N. Tuckett, to Mr. Smith, butcher, at Sc 6d per score by
weight—they were estimated to weigh about 14 score per qr
on the average. Fat bed a more ordinary quality sold at Sc
per score. Cows and calves were very plentiful ; the demand
was not over brisk, but a great many changed hands at from
71 to 131 each. Working oxen were offered at from 281 to 30/
per pair. Steers were numerous, and sold at from 121 to 241
per pair. Barreners also were plentiful, but the demand was
hardly as brisk as last week, and they were not quite so much
worth ; good fresh ones made 5s per score ; inferior qualities,
4s 6d. Many lots of nice tidy North Devon yearlings were
driven in, and met a brisk sale, at 31 15s to 41 each. Large
numbers of rearing calves from Dorsetshire still come to hand,
but their quality` generally was hardly so good as on the two
previous weeks—they were sold off tolerably fast at from 36s to
45s each. Butchers' calves, 4d to sid per lb. The supply of
sheep was also large • best fat wethers in their wool were worth
6d per lb ; naked sheep—wethers, ; ewes, 5d per lb.
Lamb, 6d per lb. Store hogs, 28s to 35s each ; couples,
35s to 40s each. There were a great many pigs
in the market suckers, 81; slips, 14s to 20s ditto.
Pork Carcases—A short supply with a quick sale, the whole
being disposed of by half-past seven in the morning, at from
7s 9d to 8s 4d per score. Pannier—Goslings, 5s to 6s each ;
ducklings, 3s to 5s 6d per couple; spring chicken, 2s 6d to
4s 6d ditto; butter, 8d to 93 per lb; eggs, 20 for Is. Ve-
getables—Green peas, 2s per peck ; asparagus, is to 2s 6d per
hundred ; gooseberries, 2id per quart ; rhubarb, Id to lid per
bundle ; radishes, 5 bundles for Id ; young onions, two ditto ;
new potatoes, 9d per lb. Corn Exchange—The attendance to-
day has been slack, and but few samples have been shown.
Dealers only buy for immediate wants, and the growers gene-
rally hold firmly for late prices, so that little has been done.
Prices to-day have hardly been supported, 6s 4d per bushel up
to one o'clock being the highest figure for warranted samples of
English wheat, although it is not improbable that 6s 6d may be
obtained before the market closes. French and Belgian white
wheat has been offered at 48s to 50s. Red ditto 43s to 44s
per quarter. But little doing in barley, the malting season
being nearly over, but the best samples were worth fully 4s per
bushel. Oats, 2s 6d to 2s 9d; fine flour, 34s to 3'..Ts per sack
of 280 lbs.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JUNE B.—The market has
been rather quiet, and the near approach of the sth of July,
when the duties will be again reduced, is no doubt having its
influence upon the transactions in this article. The refined
market is steady, but not active. In rune and molasses there
is nothing doing.—Bristol Mercury.
MOLD, JUNE 6.—A small market with very few samples of
grain shown, and little alteration in prices. Wheat 1 •
barley, lOs to lls ; oats, 5s to 5s 6d ; potatoes 163 per hobbet.
DENBIGH, JUNE 7.—Another dull market, with very little
business doing, and prices still tending downwards. The
averages were as follows : —Wheat 15s 6d to 163 ; barley, 93 ;
oats, 5s 6d per hobbet; fresh butter, 10d; salt ditto, Bd per lb.
DARLINGTON, JUNE 4.—The supply of grain was tolerably
good, demand fair, and prices steady, Wheat, lls 6d to 133;
oats, 4s to 5s 6d; beans, 7s 6d to 83; peas, 9s ; barley, 7s per

toll.
SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 6.—We continue ex-
ceedingly well supplied with stock, especially with beasts and
lambs, and the quality good. Though we noticed rather a nu-
merous attendance, still prices did not vary from last week, ex-
cept in the case of lambs, which was the turn in favour of the
buyer. A good clearance of the middling and best stock took
place before the close of the market.
• CARMARTHEN.— Our June fair was held on Monday last,
there was a good show of cattle and horses. A great number
of cattle were sold at advanced prices, and good horses and
colts were also in demand. On Tuesday pigs realised fair
prices; and a great many were sold.
BuTniti, JUNE 4.—A very small attendance to-day and
little business doing in the grain trade, with prices neariy as
befurc. Potatoes, 18s. per hobbet; fresh butter, Bd. to 911.
per lb.
LLANRWST, JUNE 7.—Great dullness still prevails in our
market; nothing doing, but a little in retail way, just from
hand to mouth. Wheat moves off slowly from 18s down to
15s ; barley, from 103 to 61; oats, from 6s to 5s per hobbett.
Butter came in in large quantities, consequently the price is
fast falling, it being now as low as 10d down to 8d ; beef, from
4d to 7d; mutton about the same.
IN vE arms, JUNE s.—New wheat, per quarter,
weighing 621 b per bushel, 44s to 47s ; barley, .541 b per bushel,
