THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 14.—The demand for wheat has
been very moderate, and prices generally ld to 2d lower
than this day week. Flour sells slo .v at a reduction of
6i per barrel. Oats and oatmeal are each in moderate
request at prices in favour of buyers. Beans, peas,
barley, and malt, without change. Indian corn not so
lively as on Friday, still prices are about is per qr higher
than this day week.

NEWCASTLE, AUG. 14.—At this morning's market we
had a small supply of wheat from the farmers, with fair
arrivals coastwise and from abroad. However, the busi-
ness was only limited, though Saturday's prices were
supported. Oats met with rather more inquiry at late
rates. Barley nominally as before. In the value of
other grain no change.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, AUG. 14.—We have
again to report a small supply of fat beasts, which are
of a very indifferent quality. A falling off in sheep, but
a large show of lambs; in point of quality the former is
about an average, while the latter is decidedly in-
ferior. The supply comprises 364 head of beasts.
There is a better feeling pervading the beef trade to-
day, and though we do not alter our quotations, yet they
are making more money, and little remains unsold. The
number of sheep and lambs is 6,500 head. The mutton
trade is more animated than for some weeks past. Small
wedders have improved about is per head. In the lamb
trade there is no alteration to notice, prices being fully
equal to last week. Prices—Beasts, 5s Od to 6s 3d per
