THE COUNTRY MARKETS

WAKEFIELD, DEC. I.—The supplies this week are
liberal of all articles. For wheat the demand is limited,
and there is a general disinclination to purchase though
prices are reduced Is to 2s per quarter. Barley goes off
very slowly, and but a small portion of the large arrival
disposed of at a dea no of is per quarter. Oats are ,3-(1
per stone, and shelling Is per load cheaper, with little
inquiry for each. Beans sell in retail at late prices.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. I.—The duties on foreign corn and
flour aro unaltered. The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise since Tuesday are limited, and comprise 300
quarters of wheat, 1,293 quarters of barley, 84 quarters
of malt, 1,984 quarters of oats, 72 quarters of beans, 42
quarters of peas, 1,596 loads of oatmeal, and 1,340 sacks
of flour. From Canada there are again good supplies-
-1,768 quarters of wheat, 2,240 quarters of peas, and
13,651 barrels of flour being reported; and from foreign
ports they amount to 5,910 quarters of wheat, 500 quar-
ters of beans, 13,910 quarters of Indian corn, 158 bar-
rels of corn meal, 1,747 sacks and 22,256 barrels of flour.
The exports in the same time amount to 1,318 quarters
of wheat, 167 quarters of oats, 4,027 quarters of Indian
corn, 67 barrels of corn meal, 191 sacks and 1,815 bar-
rels of flour. The transactions in free produce since
Tuesday have been on a moderate scale and entirely for
consumption, without any further change in the value of
wheat, oats, flour, or oatmeal. In barley, beans, or peas
there has been so little doing that prices are nominal.
Indian corn was sold at 6d per quarter decline; and corn
meal was rather cheaper. There have been somo in-
quiries for bonded wheat and flour, but holders being in-
different about selling at present rates, no important
business has resulted. At this day's market the trans-
actions were extremely limited for every article. Free
wheat and flour were in some instances a little cheaper,
but holders generally were not disposed to submit to
any further reduction, and few sales were made: 28s to
28s 6,1 per barrel were the current rates for Western
Canal. Oats and oatmeal were fully as dear, with a
slow retail demand. Barley, beans, and peas may be
considered nominally as on Tuesday, with rather more
inquiry for boiling samples of the latter. Indian corn
was in fair request at the decline stated; 33s 6d being
realised for prime American yellow down to 30s 6d per
4801 b for middling parcels of mixed quality. Indian corn
meal 16s 6el per barrel. There were inquiries for bonded
flour at 255, but none offered under 25s 6d, and few
holders were disposed to take less than 26s per barrel.
About 1,000 quarters American red wheat were sold at
6s per 701 b in bond.

EXETER, DEC. I.—Cattle—A good supply of beasts,
but generally a very dull sale—good heifer beef was
offered at 8s 6d, and the primest in the market at 8s 9d
and 9s, the quotation for fat beef being from 8s to 9s per
score. Barreners were not much asked for, but were
offering at about 5s per score. Cows and calves from 81
to 141 each. A few North Devon yearlings were offered
at about 51 each, but did not meet with purchasers at that
figure. Butchers' calves, ed per lb. The supply of sheep
was moderate, the best wethers were worth 5d to 6d per
lb; ewes sd. Store pigs were on dull sale, and suckers
could hardly be sold at any price. Pork carcases—A
large supply, which sold at reasonable rates from 7s to
8s 4d per score. Pannier—Turkeys 4s 6d to 7s each;
geese 4s 6d to 6s 6d ditt ); ducks 4s to 5s 6d per couple;

to• day has been depressed, the fall in prices at Mark-
lane having produced a reduction here. For the very
best samples of warranted new wheat, some of which
now come to hand in good condition, 7s per bushel has
been obtained; inferior qualities have been hardly asked
for at any price; Belgian wheat, at 601 b. per bushel, has
been offered at 6s 9d, but does not command much atten•
tion at that figure; barley 4s per bushel; oats is 10d for
inferior samples, to 2s 4d for the very best; fine flour 39s
to 41s per sack.

stone; ditto, white, 57s to 60s. Barley, 34s to 365. Old

little of other grain, prices were without alteration.
Ipswich, Nov. 28.—We had a good attendance, and
altogether a fair supply of corn to day; of barley it was
large. The complexion of the market was very gloomy,

we had little or no variation, but all met dull sale.
IPSWICH CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 28.—Our cattle
market this day exhibited a worse appearance than last
week. All kinds of stock short in supply, and the trade
very bad.

declined is per coomb, as compared with the previous
week.

WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 29.—Notwithstanding our small
supplies of all grain this day, the large arrivals of
foreign" wheat and flour to the leading markets, caused
our wheat trade to be fully 4s. per quarter lower.
Fine barley Is and seconds 2s under last week's prices.
STOWMA.RKET, Nov. 30.—We had a large attendance
and a fair quantity of corn at market to-day. Wheat
met an extreme dull sale at is abatement on last week's
prices, while the best malting barley sold as of late. No
variation in beans or peas; but Oats were is per quarter
lower.

NEwnuitY, Nov. 30.—The supply of Wheat at to-
day's market is only moderate, for which there is but
little demand, and although 2s to 3s per quarter decline
would be readily accepted, still some quantity remains
over unsold. Barley, a large supply, but at Is to 2s per
quarter lower rates; we have more business doing than
last week. Beans, oats, and peas, with a small supply,
extremely difficult to quit at a reduction of is to 2s per
quarter.

- SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 29.—We had a
large supply of beasts, but the quality by no means first-

barley 43 to 38s per quarter; oats loa to 12idper stone.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 28.—The offices
have been very bare of samples of any description during
the past week. and the sales are limited to 150 hhds.,
principally Barbadoes, at steady rates. The low prices
which all kinds of rum rule at present have induced
the dea:crs to come forward more freely, and about 120
puns of Demera,-a and Leewards have found purchasers.
—Bristol Gazette.

CARNARVON D. CEMBER FAIR.—The customary
December fair was he.'ld in this town on Friday last.

pi;,;- market there was a vt-Ty large show of store animals,
which were disposed of from 123 to 2155; but few pigs
fit for the butcher were broughsc to market. The meat
