THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 17.—We have had good arrivals of
wheat, oats, flour, Indian corn, and beans since Tuesday, and
at the same time a slow demand for every article of the trade:
We had several buyers of wheat from a distance yesterdays and
a fair business was transacted at a decline, in a few instance..
of Id to 2d per bushel; fine white and Polish wheat, however,
brought the same prices as on Tuesday. Flour was ed per
barrel lower, and two or three parcels changed hands. There
was no change in the value of oats, barley, or oatmeal. Bead
and peas declined 6d per quarter. There was a moderately
fair sale for Indian corn, but the price was scarcely so ;good as
on Tuesday. Some transactions have taken place in Indian
corn for Ireland at yesterday's prices. No change to note 10
the value of other articles of the trade since yesterday.
MANCHESTER, MARCH 17.—Throughout the week our
market has remained in a state of extreme depression, no eel
feature having occurred to enliven the trade, and tEe value o
almost all articles has consequently continued to recede. With
the exception of 5,214 quarters of oats from Ireland, the imports
thence and coastwise into Liverpool and Runcorn are on a WI
mod, rate scale. From abroad the arrivals of wheat are large:
and of beans, Indian corn, and flour, fair supplies are reportea,
At our market this morning the greatest stagnation prevailed'
and wheat further declined Id to 2d per 701 b. In flour so little
business was effected that its value is almost nominal; holders
would, however, have accepted offers at is per sack under the
currency of this day se'nnight had buyers appeared, and we re'
duce our quotations accordingly. Oats were again the turn
cheaper ; and oatmeal, continuing to meet a very restricted
sale, was offered at a reduction of 6d per load.

CORK, MARCH I6.—The weather during the week has bees
remarkably fine, and most favourable for out-door work, ru
which great progress is being made. We regret to have to
report continued dulness and depression in the trade throughos'
the kingdom. Having already adverted repeatedly to the
causes of the depression, it is needless to repeat them 11111_1
We may, however, remark, in passing, that as the arrivals lo
foreign grain have fallen off, and are still falling off very ecii?:,
siderably, we may naturally conclude that prices have at levee
reached the lowest point. The receipts of home. grown gadm
continue trifling. Wheat and oats (prime samples of the 111"
ter, which are in demand for seed, excepted) are lower
value, but barley remains the same. In prepared Irish wheat
no business has been done. In foreign a few transactions
have taken place at low rates, but the general characteristic,
of the trade is that of depression. We quote the asking Price-
,
of Marianople 26s per barrel, but we believe sales have bee
made at 255. We have no prepared barley offering. In Pre.
pared oats no sales have been made, and the market is eases'
sively dull, at, nominally, the rates of last week. The trace
in flour continues totally devoid of animation. The business
done in the article has been on the meat restricted scale'
while to effect sales, especially of fine flours, ' which
are least in demand, a reduction of 6d per cwt would bde,,,
submitted to. For Indian corn we experience a stes
consumptive demand, and a fair business is doing at lat 1„,
rates. We quote the top price of prime Galatz 7110, per toeci
Indian meal, except for the interior, whence the lj
is good. does not sell so freely as the raw roateet

BELFAST, MARCH I6.—Wheat is a slow sale at about__
former prices. Foreign scarcely inquired for. Flour—OWL
best millers still hold for former prices, but common runs a'
flour is fully-6d, and American barrels. Is lower ; the latter rate
from 253 6d to 2;1; 6d, per 'barrel. Barley sells at about former
prices. Oats - The supply continues small, and the prices 0,0
in consequence, well maintained. Oatmeal is a slow sale at s
reduction of 2d to 3d per cwt. Indian corn goes slowly
consumption at last week's prices—say 71 7s 6d to 71 10, W*
yellow, and 5s less for white.
