THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 16.—The scale of duties is with-
out change, but it is probable that the impost on wheat
will advance to 7 s per quarter next week. The Corn
Exchange yesterday was slenderly attended by buyers,
and the business done in free wheat and flour was limited,
at same prices as on Tuesday. There was a fair inquiry
for bonded wheat and flour, and there is not much of
either offering. Western canal is saleable at 25s 6d, and
Baltimore at 253 in bond. Indian corn did not move so
freely to-day, and purchases were rather easier to make.
Oats and oatmeal fully maintained late rates. Barley
and beans met a very dull sale, at a reduction of is to 2s
per quarter. Prices are maintained to-day, with a small
demand.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 16.—The trade during the week
has been steady without much animation, and no ma-
terial change in price has occurred. Of wheat and flour
from abroad the imports at Liverpool continue to a liberal
amount, but scanty of other produce from all sources.
Our market this morning was rather languid, and only
a moderate consumptive demand was experienced for any
article of the trade; in the quotations of this day ee'n-
night, however, no alteration can be made.

READING, Day. 16.—Owing to the extremely wet
morning the attendance was not very numerous, with a
short supply of wheat, much out of condition. The
market ruled very dull throughout, and the few sales
that took place were at about the same rates as last
week. The business done in oats, beans, and peas wag
on a very small scale, at late rates. Wheat (old), per
quarter, 38s to 60s; ditto new, 35s to 60s; barley, 28s
to 365; oats, 16s to 21s; beans, 30s to 41s; peas, 30s to
42s.—Pig market: a short supply of stores, with a
fair trade. Fat hogs, 9s 6d; porkers, 9s 6d to lOs per
score.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 14.—T0-day the
numbers were as follows:—Oxen, 555; much cows, 24;
sheep, 3,171; lambs, 114. We had the largest supply
of cattle this morning we have had this season, a great
portion of which were of prime quality. The demand
for all kinds ruled heavy at a decline of 3s per cwt. On
the top. Inferior cattle were difficult to turn into
money--a great number turned out unsold. Best ox
beef, 50s per cwt., second 44s to 47s 6d per do., cows
35s to 42s 6d per do., sinking the offal. We hats
large supply of good sheep, far above the wants of-the
buyers; consequently the demand was very dull, and a
great portion of the stock shown did not change owners,
even at the reduction of 2s per head from last week's
quotations. Best aged, turnip-fed wethers, sid per lb.,
best ewes 4d to 4id per do., sinking the offal. Other
kinds were not much looked after, although at very low
prices. _ _

ABERDEEN MARKET, DEC. 15.—The supply of grain
at market to-day was good, the trade pretty brisk, and
previous rates were steadily maintained. Oats, 14s to
16s, 401bs per bushel; barley, 24s to 255, bear, 24s to
255, 521bs per bushel; wheat, 54s to 635; oatmeal, 13s
to 14s per boll j flour, 43s to 52s per sack,
ABERDEEN PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 15.—The sup-
plies of most kinds of produce on sale at market to-day,
were tolerably extensive. Generally speaking, the de-
mand ruled heavy, at but little variation in prices. Beef,
4d to 7d; mutton, 5d to 7d; veal, 6d to 7d per lb; pork,
4s 6d to 5s per stone; lamb, 6s to 7s 6d per qr; tallow,

good supply of meal at market to. The demand
was fair, at our quotations. Oatmeal, is 4d to is sd;
bearmeal, is 5d to is 6d; peasmeal, 2s Od to 2s 2d; side,
6d to 7d; barley flour, is 6d to is 7d; barley dust, 7d
to 8d; flour, per lb, 2s Od to 2s 4d; barley, lid.
BELFAST, DEC. 14.—We have had a week of mild
weather, which permits our farmers to complete their
wheat sowing, and other labours of the season. We are
moderately supplied with grain at our stock market; and
so far this season, the holders of parcels of home grown
grain do not press upon the markets, and seemingly are
disposed to wait their time. Holders of foreign grain
are rather anxious to sell, but the transactions are few,
and on the most moderate scale. Wheat—The decline
on the week at our stock market is equal to 3d on best,
and 6d on inferior qualities. Parcels not pressed, and
former prices are generally asked. Flour—A dull sale,
at a reduction ofjs per ern and barrel. Barrels, 29s 6d
to 30s. Barley—Fine qualities command former prices,
and inferior is a dull sale, and 3d lower. Oats maintain
their value, and are in fair demand. Oatmeal is also in
good demand, and generally last week's prices are ob-
tained. Indian corn is in few hands, and is in moderate
demand at 7117 s 6d to 815 s per ton.

INDIGESTION CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—The in-
numerable proofs of the efficacy of these invaluable Pills

tem, that all impurities are removed, and the patient be-
comes permanently invigorated. Holloway's Pills are
