THE CoUNTRY MARKETS.

---
LIVERPOOL, FEB. 3.—The following are the official quan-
tities which were released from bond, at this port, by the laW
for free trade in corn, which came into operation on the Ist
instant :—Wheat, 181,126 quarters; flour, 460,532 barrels;
oats, 291 quarters; barley, 1,974 quarters ; beans, 10,625 qrs ;
and peas, 6,154 quarters. The stock of free grain, &c., here
prior to the Ist instant was comparatively small. There was s
large attendance of town and country millers at yesterday's
market, but the show of samples of grain and flour was only
moderate. Wheat and flour met a good, but not an extensive,
sale, at the full prices of Tuesday. In a few instances a small
advance on each was obtained; but the trade closed with less
briskness. Oats were in fair request, at fully late rates. Oat-
meal improved 6d per load. Beans and peas made quite as
good prices as on Tuesday. In barley not much doing. There
was a good demand for Indian corn at the top quotation; 31s
per 4801 b was paid for American flat yellow corn. The trade
to• day is buoyant, and extreme prices are paid for most
articles.
