THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. Io.—There was a fair attendance
of town aid country millers at our market yesterday.
Wheat and flour were both taken sparingly, and on the
former a decline of about a Id per bushel was submitted
to. The inferior grades of flour were also 6d per barrel
cheaper. Oats and oatmeal both very dull. Brans and
peas remain as quoted on Tuesday. Indian corn im-
proved 61 per quarter, and was in large demand, and the
lowest point seems to have been touched for the pre-
sent. The weather is unsettled, and holders to-day re-
quire full prices for each•article.

WORCESTER, AUG. 11.—The weather today was
rough and blustering, but no rain. The first sample of
new wheat was produced in the market. Business
generally was dull, farmers being. busy at home, pre-
paring for or commcneing the grain harvest. In old
English wheat 18s must be quoted as the highest price
per bag for English; foreign, 5s to 55 6d per bushel.
Grinding barley, 3s 4d; and malting, 3s 61; malt, 8s to
9a 6d. Old English oats, 3s 6d to 3s 8d; and Irish, 3s 4d
par bushel. English beans averaged ss, and foreign
about 4s 6d per bushel. , Gray peas, 4s to 4s 6d, and
boilers, 5s to 5s 6d per bushel. At Stourbridge market
yesterday a capital sample of new wheat was exhi-
bited. • Prices were on the decline. Wheat was,- if
anything, lower, the pricks running from 17s to 18s
per bag of three bushels: Barley, 3s 3d to 3s 6d per
bushel, according to the quality of the article. Beans
3a 41 per bushel, and oats end peas not inquired for.
Stratford-on-Avon market yesterday was pretty well
attended, but prices had a downward tendency as else-
where. The weather being fine, millers only bought
from hand to mouth, and business was limited. Wheat
was from 16s to 17s per bag, the former being the cur-
rent price for red, and the latter for white. Barley
averaged 27s per quarter. Oats fetched about a guinea
per quarter, and little inquired for. Beaus about 12s 6d
par bag of three bushels.

COLCHESTER, AUG. 11.—The prospects and progress
of the harvest, which are exceedingly favourable, have
had a considerable influence this week upon the markets
of the district. Though the farmers, being engaged in
the fields, have by no means sent large supplies into the
markets, the prices of all articles have considerably de-
clined. The reduction in wheat in this market to-day
was from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at Chelmsford yes-
terday 3s to 4s, with a dull trade even at these rates.
At the latter market the finest samples of the best white
wheat would not realise more than 50s per quarter.
Peas are cheaper. A few samples of the new crop have
made their appearance, and have been sold at 31s per
quarter. A sample or two of new barley have also
made their appearance, of tolerable quality. .The trade
in this article is dull. I❑ Suffolk the markets are also
considerably lower. At Ipswich the wheat trade was al-
most in a stagnant state. Pens were offered. at 2s to 35
per quarter cheaper. At Bury and Woodbridge wheat
was 2s lower. At Stowmarket on Thursday wheat was
dull of sale; at the same decline. A few exceedingly
fine samples of the new crop of barley made their ap-
pearance.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 9,—At our
market to day there were—oxen, 635; sheep, 1,913;
lambs, 5,250. Owing to the large supply of cattle, and
and on account of the unfavourable state of the weather
for slaughtering, sales were slowly effected at a reduction
compared with last week of 23 per cwt. Best qualiLY
brought 48 s per cwt, middling quality from 42s to 4.51
per do. and inferior cows 385 per do; best aged wethers,
511 per lb, current 4d to 4id per do; best lambs, 143
per head, second kind 8s to Ils, inferior from 3s to 75.
.Part of cattle and sheep turned out unsold.
CORK, AuG. 10.—The trade during the week has been
excessively dull—that in Indian corn especially so, an',
to such an extent as fully to justify the witty remark .C'
the juror on a late record, that " all round corn is fist 51
present." Should the potato crop realise the sanguine
expectations now entertained respecting it we believe We
may with safety assert that maize is nut likely to meet
any improvement at this aide of Christmas, but that on
the contrary it will recede still further in value. We
have again rather large arrivals of foreign grain, principally
mmaize. Witt t' e exception of oats, which are, even at
.
this early period, beginning to come in freely (the. little
eeipts this week being 615 barrels) we have but Italy
home-grown grain offering. In prepared and foreign
wheat we have had but few transactions, at a decline 91
6d per barrel from last week's rates. The stocks of 05t3
are narrowed to a mere trifle, while the business passing
is of the most 'retail character. Indian corn has again
declined in value, and is so unsaleable as to render
, .
cxtre rely difficult to give quotations correctly. We be"
lieve that if purchasers could be found 6/ per ton would
be readily accepted. We still experience a mere con-
sumptive demand for flour, but without any change is
the value of the article. Stocks continue very low, and
tho supply is still light. In Indian meal the
business passing, like the pricas quoted, is altogether'
