THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, Aram 13.—The arrivals during the week
are good of most articles. Wheat is not offering so freely as
of late, and we have a fair buSiness passing at an advance o
Is to 2s per quarter. Barley is held more firmly, and the best
qualities are rather dearer. Oats and shelling are unaltered
in value, but meet with more inquiry. Beans are rather higher.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 13.—At this day's market there was a
good attendance of the town and country trade, and an exten-
sive consumptive demand was experienced for wheat, at 2d for
701bs over the currency of Tuesday. Very full prices were
paid for oats, though we cannot alter our quotations. Oat-
meal, however, was 6d dearer, though the transactions were
limited. In barley, beans, and peas there is no alteration to
note, with merely a retail sale. There was a brisk demand for
barrel flour; 24s was readily paid. Towards the close of the
market, however, holders asked 6d per barrel more money.
Indian corn was eagerly sought after, and an advance of Is 6d
per quarter on prime yellow and 2s per quarter on white must
be noted. Yellow Indian meal was sold at 14s 6d per barrel.
EXETER, APRIL 13.—Cattle Market—A fair supply of
beasts, and a large one of sheep have been driven in, but with-
out a very active demand. Prices rema:n nearly stationary,
the best beef sold at from 8s to 8s 6d per score. Cows and
calves, 8/ to 141, very good articles commanded a ready sale.
A lot of 18 small Alderney heifers, were sold by auction by
Messrs. Hussey, at from 6/ to 71 each. Barreners about 5s
per score. Butchers' calves 4d to 5i per lb. Fat sheep were
on dull sale, some wethera making but 5d per lb, and the best
not more than ; ewes 5d per In ; lambs, 7d ditto. Pork
Carcasses—The supply was better than that of last week.
Prices ranged at from 7s to 8s per score, but the bulk of the
business was transacted at 7s 6d to 7s 9d per score. Corn Ex-
change—The attendence has been very small, and samples of
first quality English wheat have been very scarce. A few
warrant parcels have been sold from 6s to 6s 6d, and in some
instances a higher figure has been given. Foreign wheat,
white and red, are each Is per quarter dearer, the former
being 50s per quarter, 601bs to the bushel, about equal to
6s 9d per bushel, warranted. Barley 3s 6d to 4s for malting.
Oats 2s 2d to 2s 64 per bushel. Fine flour 35s to 37s per sack.
NEWBURY, Aram I2.—The supply of wheat to-day is mo-
derate, the quality and condition extremely various. Best
selected lots sold readily at an imprOvement of Is to 2s per
quarter, and other descriptions a better sale than for some
weeks past ; and in some instances is per quarter advance has
been given. Barley, fair supply for the lateness of the season ;
best malting free sale, and other descriptions a better sale at
late rates. Beans; oats, and peas, moderate supply, and late
rates about supported.
Dzytats CORN MARKET, APRIL 12.--Wheat was in mo-
derate supply to-day, the demand was steady, and a fair clear-
ance was made at an advance of about Is a quarter; the trade.
however, was not quite so good at the close of the day. The
supply of barley was fair, and it sold freely at fully last week's
p. ices. In other grain but little doing, and no alteration in
prices from previous quotations.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL 13.—We have ex• perienced a steady demand for raw sugars on the only two
market days here since the holidays, at the extreme rates
current before Easter. The refined market continues heavy,
but prices are not lower. Raw has been rather more inquired
for.—Bristol .Alercury.
BRISTOL, Aran, 12.—The supplies of both English and
foreign wheat were to a fair extent, and each commanded the
full prices of the previous week ; and fine English, in some par-
tial instances, brought an advance of from 6d to Is per quarter ;
English, new, 38s to 44s per imperial quarter ; foreign white,
47s to 50s per 4801bs. ; ditto red, fine qualities, 4-is to 46s ; ditto,
ordinary qualities, 41s to 43s ; ditto, hard, 36. to 40s. For flour
there was a larger sale, though as yet without any improved
values ; English seconds, 33s to 35s per sack ; American, &c.,
sweet, 24s to 25s per barrel. Fine English malting barley was
the turn dearer, and other approved qualities of English and
foreign in better request; English malting 28, to 34s per im-
perial quarter; English and foreign grinding, 22s to 26s per
4001bs. Oats and beans continue at wavaried prices, but a
better- inquiry. Devon and Welsh oats, 13s to 15s per impe-
rial quarter ; Irish, white, 18s to 20s per 3201b5. ; Irish, black,
15s 6d to les 6d per imperial quarter; foreign, none. Beans,

per 4801bs.
LEEDS FORTNIGHT CATTLE FAIR, APRIL 11.—At our
market to-day the show of beasts for sale was upwards of 350.
The buyers were numerous, and a good sale was effected. A
great number of the beasts were in first-rate condition, and
several pens were sold off early in the day. The top price was
6s 6d, down to Si 6d and 5s per stone of 16 lbs. The
number of sheep was 3,100. The trade was good, several
having sold off before twelve o'clock. The price for wool
sheep 6d, clip 5d per lb. As the day advanced all were
cleared off.

ally supplied with stock this week, and though the demand

LLANERCHYMEDD, APRIL 11.—Wheat and barley sold at
previous rates, but eats are getting into a small compass, and
were in demand at higher prices. At the butcher's stalls,
beef sold at 4in to sd; veal, 5d to 6d; mutton, 5d to 6d;
lamb, 3s to Ss 6d per quarter ; young pigs, 8s to 10s each ;
store ditto, 15s to 22s each ; fat ditto, 36 per lb.
RUTIIIN, APRIL 9.—Being Easter Monday, and partly a
holiday, the market was very thinly attended, and little business
transacted. Very few samples of wheat were shown, and the
variation in price, both for wheat and other descriptions of
grain, were immaterial. Wheat ran according to quality from
16s to 17s 6d, but the higher price was only obtained for small
quantities of excellent quality; potatoes were a shade lower,
and fresh butter Is per lb.
RIsYL, APRIL Io.—The market opened with a sharp
aspect, and there has been a good demand for wheat at ad-
vanced rates, viz., from 16s to 16s 6d per 1681bs. Barley,
beans, oats, peas, and vetches, have undergone little change.
The improved tendency in prices is not viewed with confidence
by the regular dealers. Clover sold readily at 5d to 6d per lb.
perIOSWESTRY, APRIL 11.-- Wheat, 6s 8d to 75 4d per 751bs ;
ey,
lbs 3510 d to 4s 5d per 38 qrs. ; new oats, 2s 6d to 3s
50 .
NEWPORT CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 11. —The supply
from our own districts was on a very limited scale, but that on
offer was of prime quality. We were this week favoured with
importations from Ireland, Gloucester, and Devonshire. Prime
pens of sheep, and excellent lots of beasts, were brought over
from the famine country, by a well known and respectable
dealer. There were several groups of good calves from
Gloucester; and the primest fat sheep noticed in the market for a long time, from Devonshire. The lamb by the ewes'
side appeared strong and healthy. Cows and calves were in
little request; pigs, just as usual ; but there was great slug-
gishness in sale throughout the day ; and but few lots
changed hands. Beef ranged from 5d to skd; veal, sid to
