THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, AUG. 10.—The arrivals are very limited.
There is a fair inquiry for the best Enghah wheat at a
decline of Is per quarter; foreign is offered at a greater
reduction without leading to much business. Oats make
last week's pric( s. Shelling fully as dear. In beans and
barley no change.

NEWBURY, AuG. 9.—The quantity of wheat pitched
in to-day's market is large. The reported decline iu
Mark•lane had a paralysing effect upon the trade here
to-day; and although we must rate a decline of 2s or 3s
per quarter, still a considerable quantity remains unsold.
In beans, oats, barley, and peas the quantity on offer is
small, yet fully equal to the demand, which is slack, at
unaltered rates.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 10.—There was a fair attendance of
town and country millers at our market this morning.
Wheat and flour were both taken sparingly, and on the
former a decline of about Id per bushel was submitted to.
The inferior grades of flour were also 6d per barrel
cheaper. Oats and oatmeal both very dull. Beans and
peas remain as on Tuesday. Indian corn improved 6d
pct. quarter, and was in large demand, and the lowest
point seems to have been touched for the present.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 10.—The transactions
since our last report continue on the same limited scale
as of late, but prices are steady. The refined market is
.luggish, particularly for stove-dried goods, and prices
do not improve. Rum is quite neglected, and except for
good parcels there is no inquiry for this article.—Bristol
Mercury.
EXETER, AuG. 10.—Cattle Market.—There was about
an average supply of beasts, and a full one of sheep and
lamp:. The demand was, however, exceedingly dull,
more so than has been witnessed for many months. Fat
beef must not ba quoted higher than 8s 9d per score for
the best. Cows and calves were hardly looked at, but
time few sold changed hands at prices rarging from 71. to
121. A pair of good fresh "meat)" ban eners were sold
at about 5s per score, whilst rough ones were almost un-
saleable. A :Juan lot of poor Iri,l heifers were driven
in—they might have been beught at 50s to 60s per head,
but at that price met no purchasers. Butchers' calves,
4d to sid per lb. The demand for sheep was also very
lull ; it was reported that good fat weathers were sold

at 41d per lb, and the hest could have b4.4itt Leuglit at 64.
Some ei'ai9 were sold at 414,1 per lb. rat labs 000
very plenliful, and sold at about 50 per lb. Store ditto
15s to 20s each. Pork Caresses—A very small supP.I.V;
and that of inferior quality, which sold at 73 Gd to Btl
9d per scorn. Pannier—Turkey s, poults, 4s to 53 6.1 each;
get-se, 4s Gd to Gs; ducks, 33 Gd to 53 6d per couple; fowls,
2s ed to 4.; leverets, 23 6d to 3s 6d each; roasters, 3s 6d to
4s 6d; p'geons, Is Gd to Is 9d per couple; eggs, 18 for ls;
butter, 10d to lld per ib; potatoes, 7d to 9d per score.
Corn Exchange—Although many of the farmers are
busy harvesting, there has been no lack of samples,
which have not been oflered freely, the rather unsettled
weather this morning having produced some hesitation
among th, growers, and checked the downward tendency
of the market. The-re has been a very absurd story circu-
lating among the farmers, so absurd that it is hardly worth
noticing, except to show the groundless fear under which
they sometimes labour- It is that sundry Frenchmen
have been in the neighbourhood of Tuttle* and Exeter,
off-ring to supply the millers with whatever quantity of
wheat they may r, quire, for the next twelvemonths, a
4e per bushel. Now French wheat is worth much more
than that at present, and as the harvest does not appear
to ht remit, kably good in France, it is altogether absurd
to suppose that they can furnish a bushel of corn at that
price. The farmers roust not forget that France is $
very heavily taxed country, and that the burden of taxa'
ti,in their falls mainly on the land. But few millers have
atier,cied, and the bthiness done has been of a trifling
ocription. A few parcels of the best English wheat
has sold et about Gs per bushel. Foreign wheat was On
offer at from 43e to 443 per quarter. Nothing doing in
barley. English oats, 2s 10d per bushel; fine flour, 32$
to 35e p,r sack.
BEISTOL, AUG. 9.—The transactions in all kinds of
grain hove been so limited, owing to the heavy fall in
prices at other markets, that quotations are completely
nominal. Flour Has from Is to 23 per sack lower. The
following are the quotations:—Wheat—English, nevi, •
38s to 44s per imperial quarter; foreign white, 47s to
50s; ditto red, fine qualities, 433 to 455; ditto, ordiearl

BIRMNGIIA3I, AUG. 9.—During the present week, our
buyers have been paraly zed by the great full in Mark-
lane; tho few transactions reported in wheat are at a, de-
cline of about 2s p:r quarter. The retail sales of oats'
barley, beans, and peas, were at previous rates. .At
this day's market, the weather being fine, the prices of
wheat were only nominal; the little which changed
hands was at a reduction of 2s to 3s per quarter. Barley
held for last week's prices. Oats in limited supply, and
very few wanted. Beans maintained their value.
less inquired for.

BEST DUGS FOR THE MOORS.—N 0 species Of shoot'
ing requires the aid of good dogs more than grouse
shouting, and in no sport does so much annoyance,,il";
result from the use of bad ones. The best dog, per
for the moors, is a well-bred pointer, not more than
;0
years old, which has been well tutored—young
er
years, but a veteran in experience. The et`
is occasionally used with success, but we prefer the
pointer. The latter has unquestionably the
advantgs
when the moors are dry, as it not unfrequently hiPPe
that they are in August. If a setter cannot find wale
","
wherein to wet his feet every half hour, he will not ,
able to undergo much fatigue. Some sportsmen Will
hunt a couple of mute spaniels for groose shooting in Pur,e;
ference to any other team of dogs. Of course, "'"'d
this method is pursued, the birds are never pointed, ant
the shooter must ever be on the look-out, for the Pin
is generally sprung very near to the gun. We arc not
quite sure that a sportsman can be better dogged for
grouse shooting than with a couple of spaniels and
old staunch pointer, unless he is a very dilatory shot, 0r
startled when birds rise unexpectedly, and requires eve'lf,
bird to be pointed. It is the power to bring down
good style bird after bird thus put up, that makes nP
•
parent the difference between the good shot and the ,
indifferent one. As long as birds are pointed under
the dog's nose, the distinction is not so marked. Per'
haps the best team of dogs for showing off sport on a fill:
lay, would be the three high- couraged pointers that rang"
independently before the shooter in concentric soot;
circles, the one within the other—two of them sl2"/-
be close•beaters, bitches, perhaps, might be preferred,
and the third a high-ranger; the bitches should keep,
near as may be, at the distance of ten and twenty and
respectively of the gun, and the dog at thirty over.''
With such dogs very little game would be passed ove,r: —From the Rod and the Gun; by Wilson and Oakkig'd
