THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, JAN. s.—The supplie3, are good of wheat
and barley, and moderate of other grain. There is not
much business passing in wheat, and the prices of last
week are barely supported. Barley is rather cheaper,
and demand confined to heavy qualities. Oats and
shelling sell slowly at last week's prices. Beans and
other articles without change.

NEWBURY, JAN. 4.—Our supply of wheat to-day is
only moderate. The demand continues in the same dull
state as for the last few weeks past ; and although we
cannot report any great decline, yet but little business
was done, at rather declining rates. Badvy, large sup-

ply; and there being but few buyers, trade was extremely
leek, a el. 'ned le
rates of last week. Beans, (ats, auo peas moderate
eupely. So liele besluess was done in these articles,
that we can scarcely note prices ; but had tie r been a
dispoeitioe to purchase, much lower rates would have been
submitted to. Averages—Wl:oA 765 qrs., et 45s Eiid;
Barley, 832 qrs., at 31s 21d; Beans, 15 qrs., at 343
per qr.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. s.—At this day's market there was
a fair attendaece of dealers, and a moderate show of
wheat, oats, &c. The demand for wheat was hi-lifted in
the extreme, without any material change in the value
of old, but Irish new was pressed at a small decline.
Flour was like:else dull, and barely supported previous
rates. Oats and oatmeal were, without change in value,
but the sale was very slow. Malting barley was is per
quarter lower; but in other kinds there was no altera-
tion. Beans and peas were quite neglected. The trans-
actions in Indian corn were much less than usual, and
the better qualities were easier to purchase. We heard
of no sales of bonded wh at ; but a few parcels of flour
were reported to have changed hands, at 25s 61 per brl.
EXETER, JAN. s.—Cattle market—The supply to-
day was again small, rather less than last week, and
there being a greater number of dealers present, prices
were rather firmer. For the best fat beef nine shillings
per score was given, the price ranging from eight shil-
lings to that figure. For cows and calves higher prices
were also asked, and sales were effected at from 91 to
15/; barreners were about late rates, 4s 4d-to 5s per
score, very fresh ones being worth a little more than the
letter figure. Butchers' calves 51d to 6d per lb. A
small supply of sheep with a rather better demand,
prime wethers selling at *1 to 6d per lb, and ewes, 5d
5,-}d. A moderate supply of pigs. Pork carcases—The
supply was larger than last week, with a duller demand,
but prices remained the same, from 8s to 9s per score.
Pannier—Turkeys, 5s to lOs each; geese, 41 6d to 6s 6d
ditto ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5a 6d per couple ; fowls, 2s 9d to
4s 6d ditto ; partridges, 33 per brace; pheasants, 6s to
Cs 6d ditto ; woodcocks, 6s ditto ; hares, 3s 3d to 3s 6d
each ; snipes, is 4d to Is 6d per couple ; wild ducks, 5s
ditto; butter, Is 2d per lb ; eggs, twelve for ls.
Potatoes, is 23 to is 3d per score; turnips, 3d to 4d
ditto ; onions, Id per lb ; parsnips, 21b. for lid. Corn
Exchange—The market has been again depressed to •day,
the millers showing great reluctance to purchase more
than for immediate wants, owing to the near approach of
the Ist of February. This circumstance has rendered
foreign wheat entirely unsaleable, as the duty being now
9s per quarter added to its bonded price, makes it con.
siderably dearer than English wheat. Best samples of
best new English wheat sold slowly at from 6s 6d to
Gs 93 ; barley, for malting, 3s 93 to 4a per bushel, for
grinding;, 3s to 3s 63; oats, 2s 2d to 2s 4d ditto ; fine
flour, 38s to 40s per sack, the millers purchasing but
very sparely.
TOTNES GREAT MARKET, JAN 2. There was a
rather small supply of fat stock exhibited to-day, with a
tolerably good attendance of buyers. The market
commenced somewhat lively, but it wound up as flat as
ever. Wool was in demand at a higher rate than before.
Corn nominally the same. Best fat bullocks, 48s to 525;
middling de criptions, 46s to 48s ; rough quality, 42a to
44e; stun. stock, 30s; cows and calves, 42s to 48s per
cwt, sinking the offal. Sheep—wethers, 5:1(1 to sid ;
ewes, 5d to sid per lb. Wool, 6d to hid, 211 b. to the
score, in its grease. Corn—We have very little old
wheat left on hand, and the new grain is still damp, the
greater part of which is unsaleable, and the transactions
here are exceedingly small at present in the corn trade.
Our millers are using foreign grain with a very small
quantity of old and new English wheat mixed therewith.
Old wheat, about 14s; new, 9s to 12s 6d ; barley, 5s to
7s; oats, 5s to 7s per bag.
NEWTON MARKET.—Wheat, 14s per bag; barley, 8s;
oats, 6s 6d. Turkeys, 6s to 8s each; geese, 5s and 6s;
ducks, 4s to 6s per couple; fowle, 3s to 5s ditto; butter,
153 to 16d per lb; eggs, 15d per dozen. Potatoes, 15d
par score. Beef, 6d to,61(1 per lb; mutton, ditto; veal,
ditto; pork, 6d; dead carcases, 8s 3d per score. The
show of bullocks, sheep, &c., was very fair, considering
Totnes great market being the day before.
TIVERTON, JAN. 2.—A downward tendency was
again visible in our corn market on iTuesday last.
The best samples produced fetched only 6s, whilst some
poor samples were offered as low as 4s Bd, arid we heard
of 4s 63 at at a later period in the day. Barley nearly
the same as last week, viz., 3s to 3s 8d; oats, 2s to 2s 3d;
butter, is per lb; beef, 6d to 61d; mutton, s:Jad to Gd
perk, fad to Gd; sides of bacon, including the limbs, 53
to s:.lid; geese, 53 to 63 6:l each; turkeys (very fine), 7s
to 8s 63 each; small ditto, 5s 6d; ducks, 3s to 4s per
couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 3s Gd per couple; potatoes, 9s to
lOs 61 per bag, and Id per lb. washed.
CHELTENHAM, JAN. 4.—Very little business done to-
day, and prices were at a stand still. The general
average for last week was, for wheat 503 9d; for barley,
32s 9d; and for oats 25s 5d per quarter.
Ts SKII,B3URY, JAN. 2.—Wheat, 217 s 10d; barley
11 Its 70.
WETHERRY, JAN. 4.—The following are the prices
of wheat, &c., in our market of this day:—White wheat,
18s to 20s; red ditto, 16s to 18s per load; barley, 28s to
31s per quarter; beans, 14s to 17s; oats 9d to is
per stone. A short supply of wheat, but a large supply
of other grain.
SCARBOROUGH, JAN. s.—Corn--The corn trade here
to day is without animation. Prices for everything con-
tinuing to recede makes buyers, as well as sellers, very
indifferent about busines. For prices: of wheat, barley,
oats, and flour, we refer to our currency. Wheat, 5s 6d
to 6s 3d per 5 stones; barley, 29s to 31s per quarter of
32 stones; grinding ditto, 25s to 27s per ditto. New
oats, 8d to 9d, and old ditto, 103 to lld per stone. Su-
perfine flour, 39•: to 40s, and seconds ditto, 32s to 34s
per sack of 20 stones. Cattle and Provisions—We had
only a limited supply of stock, and a dull sale at pike;
about the same as last week. Bacon pigs averaged about
5s 3d, and pork pigs from 5s 6d to 5s 9d per stone; beef,
5d to 7rl; mutton, 6cl to 7d; veal, 6d to 7d; bacon, 6d
to 8d; hams, 9d to 10d; pork, 6d to 7d; lard, 6d to 7d;
butter, lld to 123 per lb. Ducks, 3s 9d to 4s 3d; fowls,
2s to 2s 9d; and rabbits, 2s to 2s 4d per couple; turkeys,
3s ad to .ss; and geese, 38 6d to 5s each, Eggs, 14 to 16
for Is; onions, 8d to 12d; apples, 123 to 20d; and po-
tatoes, 103 to 123 per peck.
INVERNESS, JAN. 2.—Prices still looking down in our
local market, as well as at Mark-lane and the other great
ruling markets. Farmers, however, hold the opinion,
whether well or ill-grounded, that a reaction will take
place, and they reserve their stocks accordingly. No
great amount of sales have consequently taken place.
Little or no old wheat is now brought in. New may be
quoted 2s lower per quarter. Oats are is down on the
top. Potatoes for exportation to the south have brought
high prices—as much as 22s having been paid—but the
market seems now overstocked.
