THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. s.—There is a large supply of wheat,
the finest qualities of which are taken at is decline,
whilst secondary descriptions are difficult to move at a
greater reduction. Barley is is to 2s lower, and not
much wanted. Oats and shelling sell at less money. In
beans and other articles no variation.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. s.—Our arrivals since Tuesday
from Ireland are moderate of wheat, flour, and oatmeal,
but coastwise the imports are quite trivial. From
Europe, the United States, and Canada we have received
liberal supplies of wheat, Indian corn, and flour, with
fair quantities of other articles. 'With the exception of
2.371 barrels of flour, our exports in the same period are
light. There has been a fair demand during the week
for wheat, at fully former prices, the low qualities at-
tracting some attention for holding over. Flour, both
sack and barrel, in moderate request at late rates. There
has been more inquiry for Indian corn, and in the busi-
ness done previous prices have been well supported. We
note no change in other articles. At this day's market
there was a thin attendance of the trade. Wheat, both
old and new, met a slow sale at the prices of Tuesday.
Barrel flour barely supported former prices, and sack
dour declined 6d per 2801bs. Indian corn with a fair
demand brought full prices. Oats without change; but
oatmeal must be quoted 6d per 2401bs lower. Barley,
beans, and peas in retail request, and prices without
alteration. Next Tuesday being appointed as a general
fast, our market will be held on Monday.
NEWBURY, OCT. 4.--The supply of wheat to-day is a
fair average. The late damp weather has rather dete-
riorated the condition since last market. The demand
is rather slack, but we cannot note any decline from the
rates of last week. Barley an increased supply; mai..
sters not generally having commerced operations, the
inquiry is slack; the better description of malting held
at km 28a to son per quarter. *AU; oats, and peas,

short supply, but fully equal to the demand, and late
rates about supporied.
EXETER, OCT. s.—Cattle—The market was very
scantily supplied, as is usual immediately after A Iphiege
ton fair. Of fat beef there was scarcely any of prime
quality on offer, prices ranged from 7s 6d to 8s 3d per
score. Cows and calves were lather in request, and sold
at 8/ to 12/. Store bullocks generally were scarce, and
prices are nearly as of late. The supply of sheep and
lambs was also small, under 600, but no improvement
was perceptible in price, ewes being 43, and wethers
4id to 4,11. per lb. Store wethers, 25s to 32s each.
There was a large supply of store pigs, but not a very
brisk sale. Pork carcases—The supply was about equal
to that of last week, a ith but little difference in the price,
which ranged from 7s to 8s 3d per score. Pannier—
Turkeys, 4s 6d to 5s 6d each; geese, 4s 63 to 6s 6d;
ducks, 3s 6d to 4s 6cl per couple; fowls, 2s 64 to 4s;
partridges, 2s 63; pheasants, 6s; hares, 2s 6d to 2s each;
roasters, 3s 6d to ss. 'Butter, is per Ib; eggs,
16 to 18 for Is. Corn Exchange, One
o'clock—Prices to-day aro about the same as
last week. The best samples of English wheat
are worth 5s to 5s 3d per bushel. In foreign wheat
scarcely anything is doing, the price being higher than
that of home grown, whilst the factors remain firm, and
are even asking rather higher prices than last week.
Red wheat 38s to 42s per qr, and white 46s (601bs to the
bushel); but these quotations must be considered as
merely nominal, from the cause above stated. In malting
barley but little is doing, prices range from 3s 3d to 3s 9d
per bushel, but 3i 6d, or 28s per qr, is the most general
figure. There has been a pretty brisk sale of oats, new
at 2s per qr; old, which are scarce and but few samples
shown, are worth full 2s 9d; fine flour is 29s to 31s per
sack of 2801bs, but the millers complain that there is but
very little demand. Two o'clock—We have but little to
add to the above report. The business done has not
been very extensive, the holders being disinclined to sell
at prices offered, and staneFeg out firmly for 5s 6d per
bushel. They were the more confirmed in this course
from the fact that one gentleman, a seller of foreign
wheat, was a buyer of English.
KNARESBOROUGH, OCT. 3.—We had a very'large show
of wheat at this day's market, and prices were again on
the decline. No material alteration in other kinds of
grain. Wheat 5s to 6s, beans, 43 3d to 4s 91 per bushel,
barley 26s to 30s, oats 18s to 20s per quarter.
RIPON, OCT. 4.—We had a large supply at this day's
market. All descriptions of grain on the decline, and
very little business transacted. Wheat, white, 5s 6d to
6s 3d, red, do, 4s 9d, to 5s 9d, beans, 4s 3d to 5s per
bushel ; barley 28s to 325; oats, 18s to 23s per quarter.
SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 4.—The supply of wheat to-day
is large, the coeditien mostly indifferent, prices are re-
ceding, and the demand very slow. In barley and oats
no alteration. Flour trade very dull. New wheat
5s 6d to as, old do, 63 to 6s 3d per 5 stones ; malting
barley 26s to 275, grinding barley 24s to 25s per qr. of
32 stones ; new oats 8d to 9d, old do 9d to 103 per
stone; superfine flour 37s to 38s, seconds do 32s to 33s

ings. Newspaper agents Can have any number of copies

THE GREAT WESTERN PARCEL ROBBERY.—A
most active search has been made during the week, and
up to a late hour last night, by Messrs. Collard and
Lyndon, the officers of the Great Western Railway, and
by inspector Smith, of the Detective Force, in connexion
with the lost property, prior to the examination of
the prisoner Barton, but without any successful result.
It is believed that if the parcels are not held back in the
expectation of a large reward for their restoration, they
have been either burnt or torn up, to destroy all trace
of them, more particularly as they contained property
that could not be easily converted into value. It is
believed that the officers will be able to connect the in-
dividual in custody with another extensive robbery that
occurred not long ago on the Great Western Railway,
and in connexion with which for the restoration of the
property the company had to pay 6001 to anonymous
parties. Although none of the parcels have been found,
the investigation has resulted in the indirect discovery
of some valuable unclaimed documents, now lying for•
recognition at a common beer-shop, in Gloucester-placer
East•lane, Walworth, brought there by a costermenger,
who states that they were given to him by a sham
lawyer, to take care of, but who has never been to re-
claim them.

TRADE OF NOTTINGHAM.—Lace : There h
moderate business doing with us, which we hope will
continue until the Germans begin to buy again for the
winter Leipsic Fair, and the Americans give out their
orders more bountifully than they have yet done. Yarns
are very firm. Hosiery: The demand both for our
home and American markets is in a very satisfactory
condition; but of course the orders for the latter market
may be said to be only commencing. Our accounts from
Manchester this week are of a gloomy nature; many of
the mills there, and the spinning districts generally, are
to be worked short time, and it is expected some will
cease to be worked till better times come. This state
of the Lantathire trade, together with the news the
Niagara brings tills week of a failure in the cotton crop,
will place spinners is an awkward position.—Nuitinghana

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—An established Fact that,
Holloway's Pills are a Certain Cure for Dropsy. —Mrs. Jane
Thomas, housekeeper to a nobleman, residing in the West-end
had been predisposed for years to this insidious disease, and al-
though she had received the best advice from the most skilful
of the faculty, yet all their efforts proved fruitless in checking
its baneful effects on her constitution, which appeared to be
rapiely declining. In this hopeless state she commenced talc.
ing Holloway's Pills, and, to the utter astonishment of hersel,
and all the family, this wonderful medicine has effected a per-
fect cure. Females at the meridian of life should always have
recourse to these invaluable Pills. Sold by Druggists and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
