THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

--- -
LIVERPOOL, MARCH 24.—There has been a good arrival
of foreign wheat this week, but of other articles the quantities
received are moderate. There was a good attendance of
millers at our market yesterday, and several of them from a
distance. Wheat was in fair request, and in some instances
the turn in price was in sellers' favour. Flour also was readily
sold at Tuesday's prices. Oats and oatmeal fully supported
late rates. Beans were held with more firmness. Peas met a
dull inquiry. Indian corn brought the same price as on Tues-
day, with a moderate sale. To-day the trade has a steady ap-
pearance, but no change in the prices of any article.
MANCHESTER, MARCH 24.—We have again to report an
exceedingly lifeless state of trade throughout the week, and in
the limited business which has occurred in either flour or oat-
meal prices rather under the quotations of the preceding
market-day have been submitted to. Excepting about 3,000
quarters of malt coastwise, the arrivals of English and Irish
produce at Liverpool and Runcorn are extremely scanty. From
abroad there is a liberal supply of wheat to notice, but only
moderate of other articles. At our market this morning there
was a somewhat firmer feeling as regards wheat, which was
held for fully previous rates. Flour, however, continued to
meet a slow sale at about 6d per sack under the currency of
this day se'nnight. In oats no change was apparent. Oat-
meal was in limited request, and with difficulty maintained its
previous value.

BELFAST, MARCH 22.—The supplies of grain since Fri-
day have been small, but seemingly quite equal to the demand.
Wheat sells at last week's prices, and there is some inquiry
about foreign of good quality, for mixing. Flour rather a dull
sale. American sells slowly at 25s to 26s per barrel. Barley
unchanged in value. Oats are in good demand for seed, and
command full prices. Oatmeal a slow sale, at a little under
former rates. Indian corn must be quoted dull, and 2s 6d
lower; yellow 71 5s to 71 7s 6d, white 2s 6d less. Potatoes,
per stone, 'Bd to 10d; ditto, per cwt, 4s 6d to ss. Butchers'

3s to 4s each ; geese, 2s 6d to 3s 6d ; eggs, per dozen, 7d.
Hay, is '2d to is lid ; straw, oat, 8d to Is 111 ; ditto, wheat,
7d to 1 Id per cwt.
CORK, Matten 23.—The supplies of home grown grain,
especially those of wheat and barley, are very trifling. Owing
to the miserably small receipts of wheat, the value of the
article remains unchanged, while, owing to the demand for
seed purposes, that of barley and oats (for prime samples at
least) is well maintained. In prepared wheat (Irish) we have
no tiansactions to record. In foreign, also, the business done
has been very limited, and, though prices are nominally the
same, the tendency is downward. In prepared oats likewise
any sales that have been made are on the most restricted scale.
Our quotations are nominally the same as those of last week.
The flour trade exhibits the same depressed aspect, noticed for
the last few weeks. Bakers purchase on the most retail scale,
and for the supply only of their more immediate wants, there
being an evident disinclination on their part to get into stock.
The consequence is, they hold no stocks, and, factors being in
very much the same position, the market presents the anoma-
lous feature of small stocks and supplies coupled with a dull,
dragging trade. Indian corn continues to meet a good demand
and fair sale. Holders have assumed a firmer tone,
and the tendency of prices is to advance. Indian
meal meets a moderate inquiry, at late quotations.

Pills again Triumphant in the Cure of a Bad Leg of
fcha
14e, 49,
omto
Pro-
fessor Holloway. Sir: I suffered for upwards of ten years
with a bad leg, in which were five running sores, and
although I tried various methods of treatment as pre-
scribed by different medical men, still it got worse.
Seeing in the newspapers notices of the cures your va-
luable medicines have performed, I determined on trying
them, and by their use, and the blessing of God, a per-
fect cure of my leg was effected six months ago. Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.
DESTRUCTION OF TEA.—A quantity of tea, lying
in one of the bonded establishments in the metropolis,
weighing upwards of 20,0001 b., being considered to be
not worth the duties, in addition to the warehouse-rent
and charges which have accrued thereon while remaining
in the bonded premises, application has Leen made, and
permission obtained from the revenue authorities, for the
tea to be entirely and effectually destroyed. In the case
of decayed and useless tea deposited on the premises of
he dock companies not being considered of any value
for consumption, it is arranged for the destruction to
take place on the dock premises, under proper superin-
tendence, but in the present instance arrangements were
made, and permission obtained, for the tea to be conveyed
to the mouth of the river, and cast into the sea, and in
that manner to be entirely lost and destroyed.
THE LATE KING OF HOLLAND.—A most impres-
sive and eloquent discourse was delivered yesterday
morning by the Rev. Dr. Gehle, at the Dutch Lordon
Church, Austin-friars, on the occasion of the sudden
and lamented death of his late Majesty the King of
the Netherlands. The church was hung with black
cloth, and the majority of the congregation appeared in
mourning.
