COUNTRY MARKETS.

BASINGSTOKE (HANTS), Nov. 29.—The show of wheal
but moderate, yet every description of both old and new
was to be had at a decline of from 5s to lOs per load of
five quarters; some very superior white (old) sold at 151
per load, red ditto 141 ditto. New wheats at from 121 to
13/ ditto; second rate ditto, 101 to 111 ditto. Flour was
down 2s per sack; bread Id the 81b loaf. Barley was ill
fair request for malting, without a decline in price; all
coarse and inferior could be had at from is to 2s pes
quarter less money; very good at 34s per quarter; other
descriptions at from 27s to 32s ditto. Malt was offered
at easier terms for the buyer. Oats of very slow sale,
best corn not going at more than 23s to 24s per quarters
some very sweet feed ditto at 20s ditto, common samples
offered at 16s to 18s ditto. Beans (heavy old) 40s per
quarter, new ticks 38s ditto. Peas (white boilers) 425
ditto, grey 40s ditto, maples 38s ditto. Rye 30s to 33s
per quarter. New Tares Ils 6d to 12a per bushel, old
ditto lOs ditto.

WORCESTER.—On Saturday last there was a fair
supply of Wheat, and we lower our quotations is to 2s
per quarter on all descriptions. Barley is per quarter
lower, at which only retail sales could be effected. Oats
sold slowly at a decline of Is per quarter. Beans main-
tained their value. Peas 2s per quarter cheaper.
GLOUCESTER.—On Saturday last the wheat market
was again very dull, and the sales of all descriptions
were quite limited, at a reduction of fully is per quarter
since this day week. Barley was also is per quarter
lower, except for the finest qualities for making. Osta
met with a similar decline. Beans nearly maintained
former rates.

WISBEACH Nov. 25.—The supply of wheat is only
moderate; dother grain, rather an increase. The trade
for wheat is generally dull, and fully is per quarter
cheaper. Of oats and beans, the prico of each article
rather in favour of the buyer. Prices to the growers:--
Wheat, new red, 591 b to 621 b, 42s to 48s; extra, 495;
white, 591 b to 621 b, 44s to 50s; extra, 525; old red, 611 b
to 631 b, 49s to 525; extra, 535; white, 611 b to 631 b, 514
to 565; extra, 57s per quarter; oats, old, 361 b to 401 b,
Hid to 12d; new, 10d to 10id ;per stone; beans, old,
39s to 418 per quarter.

NEWCASTLE•IIPON-TYNE, Nov. 25.—The weather
this week has been for the most part favourable for field
work in general. Considerable progress has been made
in seeding operations, and we have now every prospect
of the seed being sown under more favourable circum-
stances than at one time could hive been anticipated.
The trade during the present week has partaken of the
flatness affecting other markets, and athough a slight
concession would have, been made to have induced busi-
ness, buyers have refrained from purchasing freely, con-
fining their operations as much as possible, and only
taking what their immediate necessities required. Pota-
toes seem to be advancing weekly with us, owing to
large shipments being made to the south, and an impres-
sion is becoming prevalent that, as the spring advances
the consumption for bread stuff must materially increase.
At our market this morning we had a moderate show of
wheat from the growers, and although the arrivals
coastwise are moderate, a clearance could only be ef-
fected by submitting to a reduction of is to 2s per quarter,
south country as well as foreign samples being at the same
time about is per quarter cheaper. For flour we expe-
rienced a slow demand, at a decline of is for the best, and
2s per sack upon inferior marks, with some quantity re"
maining unsold at the close of the market. Rye me 7
be called is to 2s per quarter lower, with only a retail
inquiry. Although our arrivals of barley have been on
a liberal scale, a fair clearance has been effected of choice
qualities at a reduction of is per quarter, whilst inferior
and ill-conditioned parcels have hung on hand, although
offered at fully 2s decline. Malt 2s cheaper, and only
extra sorts saleable; other kinds being comparative':
neglected. Boiling peas, is to 2s, and beans as much
lower, with only a moderate inquiry. With oats we were
well supplied by our growers, and the arrivals from the
north continuing liberal, the market ruled extreme':
heavy, with little business doing, notwithstanding that
concession of fully is per quarter would have been se"
ceded to, to have promoted transactions.
DALKEITH MEAL MARKET, NOV. 27.—The supply
of oatmeal and barleymeal was large at to-day's mar'
ket; sales ready. Top price of oatmeal same as last
week; top price of barleymeal 235, or 6d down ; flour

IRISH GRAIN MARKETS.—As yet prices at our grail;
markets are somewhat less affected than might have bee"
expected by the decided depression at Mark-lane. JO

on oats and oatmeal, barley alone supporting, its value.
Beans from 5s 6d to 6s 6d per cwt. Pork—Pigs were dull,
