THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

READING. JAN. 27.—There was a good attendance of
farmers and dealers at market this morning, but the
supply of wheat was by no means large. An evident
improvement was maeitest in the demand for all ki, tis
of grain, and in fact it was the oniy market fer many
weeks past at watch business to any extent has been
transacted. There was a good clearance effected in wh, at
at full is per quarter above last week's prices. Barley
was in fair supply and good demand, and all descrip-
tions were full is dearer. In oats, beans, and peas there
is also an improved demand, at better prices. Wheat, per
quarter, 34s to 56s ; barley, 25s to 365; oats, 16s to
224; beans, 30. to 40s; peas, 30s to 40s.—Pig market :
A short supply of stores, with a fair trade. Fat hogs,
9s to 93 6d. Porkers, 9:i 6d to 10s per score.—Yourry
market: Fowls, per couple, 3, 63 to 4s 6d; ducks. (tato,
3s 6d to 4s 6d; gee.e, each, 5a to 5s 6d; butter, per
pound, is Id is 2d; egg 3, Bto 10 for ls.
MANCHESTER, JAN. 27.—A tolerably fair consump-
tive demand for flour has been experienced throughout
the week, occasioned, no doubt, by the reduced state of
the stocks of this article in the hands of the dealers and
bikers generally, and the currency of the preceding
market day was supported. Oatmeal, on the contrar),
has met an exceedingly slow sale, at barely previous
:rates. This morning a firmer feeling prevailed, and
'wheat was held for th, full quotations of this day se'n-
xiight. Flour moved off steadily, and choice wrll known
marks fully maintained their previous; value. Oats mutt
be noted the turn dearer, whilst oatmeal was very diffi-
cult of sale at late prices.

—LIVERPOOL, JAN. 27.—The'dut;es on wheat, flour, t.nd
oats, :.re at the highest point order th existing core•
law, and there is an advance this week of 6,t per quarter
each in the duty on barley, rye, beans, and peas. There
waii a moderately fair sale of wheat at our market yes-
terflay, at an improvement of Id per buskel on Tuesday's

changed in value. Beans and peaq were rich 13 per

corn yesterday, but the price was tolerably well main-
tained. Bonded flour is again in ri quest to-day, but
there are few sellers. The price of Indian corn is ratlicr
\veaker. Th4.r.e. is no other change fr( m yesterday.

INSCH, JAN. 25.—The number of castle brought for-
ward to our monthly market on Monday last, far En-
ceeded what we have ever been accustomed to, either
last season or the present, and •we venture to affirm,
that there are few districts in this part of the country
who could produce a similar surplus stock. Notwith-
standing the presence of a mime. ous body of dealers,
sales were effected with difficulty, at a considerable re'
action frein that of Deeemb.r. By three o'clock,
however, a good deal of business was transacted, maul
being obliged to submit to the reduction, having no
doubt previously taken a survey of their turnip fields,
which can bear no comparison to that of the correspond-
aig period of last season. Others seemed resolved to
hold out for some time, iu hopes of a reaction taking
place. Some of the more superior animals brought from

MONTROSE, JAN. 26.—Our market had an upward
tendency to-day for barley and beans. Wheat, 621 b, 445;
barley, 531 b, 235; oats, 4010, 16s to 17s ; beans and
peas. 621 b. 23s per quarter.
INVERNESS, JAN. 23.—Prices are falling, and as the
duty on foleign corn ceases next month, there is little
probability of any rise in the southern markets for some
tune, unless the weather should prove exceedinglY
stormy, and destructive to the young brairds. Things
were dull in our market to day, and wheat, which had
been quoted higher in our market than in others, came
down very considerably. 45s was the highest price for
621 b going, and offers were current as low as 408. pro-
bably none were accepted, however, at this low figure;
as the farmers will hold till the spring; but the bakers
seemed determined to offer very little more. Oats are
stationary. First flour is down 3s per sack on the toe;
second is down 6s. Oatmeal is is per boll lower. Ia
the retail market there has also been a reduction.

BELFAST, JAN. 25.—Whether it is from the severity
of the weather, or from our farmers joining in the gene
ral feeling that we are, after the Ist, to have an advance
in prices, and, speculating accordingly, are withholding
the usual supplies, but so it is, that we have bad veil
bare supplies of grain since Friday, yet dealers were n°
disposed to buy beyond their immediate wants, price* 69
undernoted, are generally on the decline. Whe t nng
declined 3d on the best qualities, and fully 6d on 113 e
other sorts, on the week; and the sales of prods arevery limited at a similar decline. Flour—All rodes
sell as they can, and it is difficult to get at the actul
selling prices. Our quotations are, in some instances, 6
lower this week. Barrel flour a pretty tree sale, at 21'
to 28s per barrel. Barley is difficult of sale at le
prices. Oats are 3d to 4d lower, but sell readily at the
decline. °stillest has again declined 3d, and is dull 0
sale. Isdian corn is in small bounds, and in few haul
and sells pretty freely at 71 7s 6d to 7110 s for white, a°
