THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH I.—Messrs. Robinson and Co.'s circu-
lar states, since our last monthly circular, we have to report an
extensive business, which is likely to continue, as the manufac-
turers are well employed in making goods to order, both for the
home trade and foreign markets ; this fact having been proved
from the consumption going forward, operated in raising prices
considerably higher, and there is every prospect of the present
quotations being supported. Complaints have been made
hitherto, that the consumers cannot obtain an advance on goods
equal to that on the raw material ; but we entertain no doubt,
but in a short time they will be remunerated : all admit stocks
to be much reduced, and wool still low in price; these circum-
stances, combined with the general consumption' are reasons we
deem sufficient for being so hopeful. By private treaty, the
largest transactions have been in Peruvian washed and un-
washed; several thousand bags have been taken for export,
speculation, and by manufacturers, at advanced rates ; a few
parcels of Syrian, Russian, Buenos Ayres, low Oporto, East
India, and Alpaca have found buyers. There were public sales
held here on the 21st ultimo, consisting of upwards of 1,000
bales East India, which brought together a full attendance of
the trade; the competition was animated throughout, and the
whole was disposed of at an improvement on the immediate
prices current, of fully Vad per lb on the average, and in some
instances more. Scotch :—Cheviot, Laid and White High-
land, keep in request; the mark et is barely supplied, which
limits its sales. In Irish, a few parcels are announced ; spin-
ners purchase sparingly at the enhanced value. The series of
public sales in London, that commenced on the 7th and termi-
nated on the 24th ult., were more numerously attended than
any previous sales ;:upwards of 20,000 bales were cleared, at an
advance on fine wool of 3d. per lb, and on coarse kinds of lAd
to ld per lb. Oil—A fair demand has been done during the
month, the demand is more curtailed, and sales are reported
under the quotations.
BELFAST, FEE. 26.—Grain—Since Friday the supplies
have been small, and at this morning's market prices were
well supported, except in oatmeal, which was 2d lower.
Wheat 9s 6d to lOs 6d ; barley 5s to 6s 6d; oats 5s 6d to 6s 6d ;
and oatmeal 9s 9d to lOs 4d per cwt. Indian Corn is in mode-
rate demand at former rates. Yellow 71 lOs to 71 15s ; white
71 5s to 7110 s per ton. Pork sells freely at Friday's prices—
say 40s to 48s per 1201bs.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Another Proof of the E t
ciency of Holloway's Ointment and Pills for the cure of v"—
Legs.—Mrs. Mandeville, of Stretton, suffered for nearly diree
years with fearful sores in her legs. Notwithstanding the varil
ous medicines of which trial was made, the ulcerations grill'
worse, and for some months she was unable to stand ; at length
it was decided that Holloway's Ointment and Pills should be
used, and these excellent medicines soon worked wonders, for
in a few weeks all the wounds were healed, and the use of heac
legs so perfectly restored, that she is now able to walk sever ti
miles a day with ease.—Sold by all Vendors of Medicine, all
