THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, Oct 13.—The English farmers are freely
supplying Vie interior markets with wheat, the last
week's average return being 128,149 quarters, at 42s 4d
per imperial quarter. At yesterday's market there was
a mo;lerate demand for wheat, and choice quAlities of
Baltic red and Dantzic rather exceeded the rates of last
market day, but there was no improvement on lower de-
scriptions. Flour was heavy sale, and pricest only sup.
ported for first-rate brands. Oats were id. per bushel
cheaper with a fair sale thereat. Barley, beans, and
peas brought full prices. Indian corn is still firmly
held, with a fair demand, at 28s for the best samples of
round yellow, and 294 to 29s 6d per 1801 b for white.

MANCHESTER, OCT. 13.—The trade during the week
has maintained a tolerably steady aspect, and a fair
am amt of business has been transacted in the best de-
scriptions of flour without material variation from the
previous currency. For inferior and low qualities, how-
ever, the demand has continued exceedingly languid, and
lower prices have in somo instances been accepted to
effect sales. Oatmeal has moved off steadily, but it was
tiocessary to submit to reduced rates. The supplies from
Ireland into Liverpool continue to increase, and are this
week to a fair extent. From abroad the imports are only
moderate, probably owing to the prevalence of adverse
winds; and from our own coast the arrivals are very
scanty. At our market this morning a somewhat firmer
feeling was exhibited, and wheat was held for fully the
currency of this day se'nnight. In the value of choice
qualities of flour no change was apparent, but for other
kinds rather less money was taken. Oats supported their
previous value, whilst oatmeal again declined fully 6d
per load.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 11. At OUT
market to-day, the numbers were—oxen, 707; sheep,
3,697 ; lambs, 478; mulch cows, 45. The supply was
larger, and consisted principally of Irish cattle. The
attendance of buyers was numerous, but sales were not
easily effected—the prices being nearly the same as last
week—and at the close of the market a number remained
unsold. Best ox beef 50s per cwt, mid quality from 40s
to 455, inferior do. 32s to 383. Sheep a dull market.
Best aged wethers, 5-0 per lh, mid quality from 4d to
40, old ewes from 31 to 3id. Lambs a dull sale, vary-
ing from 4s to 153, current prices from 6s to 10s. At
the else of the market a few sheep and lambs remained
unsold.

DALKEITII, OCT. 11.—The relative weight per four bushels
of the three prices of wheat were 18st 61b, 18st Ilb, and 16st
Mb. Oats, 12st I lib, list 101 b, and 10st 71b. Barley, 16st 61b,

CORK, OCT. 12.—The supplies of home-grown grain
continued liberal, the receipts for the week being—
wheat, 4,964 barrels, at 163 to 20s 61 per barrel; barley,
7.880 barrels, at 7s to lls 61 per barrel; eats, 13,164
barrels, at 6s 61 to 93 21 par barrel. The samp:cs of
Wheat offering are taken freely at fatly the rates of last
week. In the prepared article some business has been
done at prices varying from 193 to 21q per barrel.
Holders however are firm, and look for higher prices.
Barley firmly maintains its value, while Malting samples,
which are scarce and anxiously looked for, are dearer.
In prepared barley we have no transaction, to record.
Oats continue to come to hand freely, and are taken
readily at a slight improvement on the prices of last
week, mewling and feeding samples especially bringing
higher prices. But few transactions have taken place in
prepared oats, buyers seeking to purchase at late rates,
while holdsrs are unwilling to submit to the terms offered.
We quote the free on board prices for black oats 8s 6d to
83 9d per barrel; but these quotations, in the present
