THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. I.—Yesterday's tnark€t was toler-
ably well attended by millers and dealers. Wheat was in
moderate request, at a decline of Id per bushel on
Tuesday's rates. Flour was dull, but good brands were
not to be had cheaper. There was no change as regards
barley, beans, oats, and peas. Indian corn was held at
Tuesday's price, but there was little demand for it. No
change in price to-day

inferior, 38s. to 425. per cwt., sinking offal. A number
(>1 inferior beasts turned out unsold. The sheep and
lamb market was also largely supplied. This being very'
unfavourable weather for slaughtering, the market Wag
dull at former rates. Best aged sheep 50., second 4id.

AuG. 31.—The trade continues to present the
same drill and quiet aspect noticed of late. We have but,
moderate arrivals of foreign grain. The receipts of till"
of home growth are, considering the period of the sea'
son, large, especially of oats; the supply for the week
having amounted to—wheat, 1,119 brls, at 15s to 22e ","
per barrel; barley, 671 brls, at 8s to 9s 6d per barrel;
oats, 5,613 brls, at 7s 3d to lOs 6d per barrel. The ne
wheat arriving is in soft condition, but otherwise of good f
quality. The lots offering find purchasers at a decline
about Is. per barrel from last week's prices. In prepen,r,ca
and foreign wheat very little business has passed. .1.'""
value of the better sorts is maintained, but that of in'
ferior descriptions tend downwards. The price of bere
barley remains without change. The same remark sir
plios to oats which are in good supply, and are take!,
freely at late rates. We understand proposals have 10'31
made by parties in the trade for forward shipments .°
the article at 9s per barrel, free on board. The trade 0
flour is quiet, and confined altogether to the supPlY.
the immediate wants of bakers; but though the art%
is dull we have no change in value to notice. Indian core
is quite neglected, and the price (though we contia,1)1:113;
the quotation of lait week) is altogether nominal. j•
same remarks apply even more forcibly to Indian We;
Potatoes are plentiful, cheap, and of excellent qua„Ji:
and of course interfere materially with the consen3P:a
of the two last named articles. From all we have se—
and heard we have every reason to believe that the Pd
duce of the cereal crops will turn out satisfactory, find,
hat we may therefore look for low prices and cheap PnA° ;
