THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, Nov. 24.—We have fair arri;als and a
good show of samples from vessels near at hand. Buyers
act cautiously, and only a moderate business done in
wheat at a decline of is to 2s per quarter. Barley sells
slowly at a similar reduction. Oats are id per stone,
and shelling is per load cheaper. Beans remain as last
stated.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. this day's market there
was a fair attendance of both town and country dealers,
and a large show of all kinds of corn, fresh arrived. The
demand for wheat was extremely slow, without any ma-
terial change in prices; pure white Gonessee brought
8s to 8s 2d per 701bs. Oats and oatmeal were not much
inquired for, and the few buyers that appeared obtained
an advantage of -id per bushel and 6d per load. Barley
and peas were offered on lower terms, without inducing
transactions of moment. Beans were steady. Flour
moved off only in retail, and 29s per barrel, duty paid,
was an extreme price for Western Canal ; there were
buyers of bonded at 25s and sellers at 265. There was
rather an improved demand for Indian Corn, and pre-
vious rates were supported; 35s 6d per 4801bs was made
for fiat American yellow; but Corn Meal met a languid
inquiry, at 17s 9d per barrel.
EXETER, NOV. 24.—Cattle—A very small compared
with that of last week, but it being quite sufficient for
the demand, no advance has taken place. Fat beef must
still be quoted at from 83 to 9s per score; barreners,
4s 6d to 5s per score, but for very fresh half fat beasts
a higher figure was given. Cows and calves, from 9/
to 131 each. Butchers' calves, which were rather plenti-
ful, sold at from 5f dto 6d per lb. The number of sheep
driven in was not much more than half so many as en
the preceding week. Fat wethers cannot be quoted at
more than sfd per lb, and ewes at sd. Keeping sheep
at late rates. There was a large supply of store pigs,
hut to obtain sales, lower rates had to be submitted to.
Pork Carcases—The supply was about equal to last
week, and sold at from 7s 9d to 9s per score. Corn
Exchange—Wheat remains nearly the same as last
week, although there is a slight difference in some sam-
ples in favour of the buyer. Best old warranted wheat
Is worth about 8s per bushel, and prime new, 7s to 7s 3d,
in one instance only have we heard a higher price than
this for new, which was for a small sample, which
changed hands at 7s 6d per bushel. Barley rather lower,
the best selling at about 4s per bushel; oats, 2s to 2a 6d
per bushel; fine flour, 41s to 43s per sack.
TIVERTON, Nov. 21.--There was a somewhat fuller
attendance of buyers than usual in our market on Tues-
day last, though the price of grain experienced a depres-
sion. There were several samples of wheat as low as
4s 6d, but the best quantities sold at Gs and 68 6d ; bar-
ley, 3s 3d to 3s 10.1; oats, 2s to 2s 4d; beef, 6d to 64d

DERBY, Nov. 24.—We have a dull trade in wheat at
about is decline. No change in other things, and little
passing. Wheat, 53s to 56s per 36 stone; ditto, white,
57s to 60s. Barley, 34s to 365. Old oats, 26s to 30s per
stone. Beans, old, 404 to 48s per 38 stone. Flour, 41s

poultry, butter, eggs, hares, and rabbits.

market to-day was badly supplied, scarcely any sheep,
very few fat boasts, stores short in supply, prices lower,
except for pigs, and the trade exceedingly bad.
Ipswrcu, Nov. 21.—We had a largo attendance at
our corn market, and a good supply of barley to-day, but
not: so large of wheat. The trade was dull and lower

for both, say is per quarter on wheat, and 2s on barley.
But few beans or peas, and the sale dull at is abatement.
EYE, Nov. 21.—We had a full market, and a large
supply of corn. The prices being lower, but little busi
ness was done. Wheat full is. per coomb cheaper than
the previous week. Good barley brought l6s, fine
16s 6d, but very few buyers at these prices. Peas, beans,
and oats, the same as last week.
WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 22.—Wheat in short supply, yet

Is per quarter lower. Fine barley scarce and fully as
dear ; secondary sorts Is per quarter lower. Beans and
peas, none offering.
BURT ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. 22.—We had a good supply
of wheat at market to-day inferior qualities were lull
2s per:quarter lower ; the best descriptions maintained
late rates. Barley very dull sale. Beans and peas very
scarce and commanded quite as much money. Oats but
little inquired after.

STOWIIARKET Nov. 23.—Though the attendance at
our market to-dayl was good, we did not think the
supply of corn large ; that of wheat was small, but of
barley pretty good. The trade was very dull, though
dry wheat maintained last week's prices ; but barley
must be called is per quarter lower. In beaus and pas
we had but little variation in prices, being few of either
offering.

NEWBURY, Nov. 23.—At to-day's market we have a
lags supply of wheat, principally composed of the growth
of the present year. The first selected, new and old,
nearly support late rates, whilst other sorts are difficult to
quit at a decline of is to 2s per quarter. Barley large
supply, and is to 2s per quarter lower, with a slow trade.
Beans, peas, and oats moderate supply, with a very
slack demand, at rather declining rates. Old wheat 54s
to 50s ; new ditto, 36s to 58s ; barley 283 to 365; oats,
18s to 265-; beans, 34s to 42s ; peas 36s to 44s per
quarter ; best seconds flour 40s per sack.

HEnorr, Nov. 20. The show of both beasts and
sheep was rather short; a few of the inferior sheep re-
mained unsold. Beef, 6s to 6s 6d per stone; mutton, 6d
per lb.
SALFORD, Nov. 22.—The show of prime beasts very
small to-day, but of inferior quality. Superior sheep
equally scarce; and best quality of beef and mutton in
great demand. The former fully 11 per head dearer;
and the best mutton worth fully 6d per lb.
NEWCASTLE, Nov. 21.—The supply of all kinds of
fat stock on offer here to-day has been of a very in-
different quality, more especially as regards cattle,
which were decidedly the worst in point of quality that
have been shown this season. The supply of beef would
comprise about 500 head of beasts, the demand for
which was more animated than for some weeks past;
the better qualities sold freely at our quotations, and a
good clearance was effected. The number of sheep on
offer was unusually small, there being only 3,617 head
presented for sale. The short supply, together with a
good attendance of buyers, caused all breeds to advaece
from the rates of last week, particularly small sheep,
which in some instances made 3s per head more money,
and business was soon brought to a close. Pigs—the
number shown was 212, which were of a superior
quality, including 47 from Ireland; the demand for ali
kinds was extremely brisk, and nearly all changed
owners. Priees:—Beasts, 5s to 6s 6d; pork, 7s to 7s 3d
per stone of 14Ibs; sheep, white•-faced wedders, Is per
head above 6d, middling 6d, ewes, Sid; black-faced
wedders 50, ewes 4id to 5d per lb sinking offal.

58s to 60s; barley, 25s 6d to 275; oats, 21s 6d to 22s 6d.

unsaleable. A good clearance was made of all of a fair
quality; the best new realised 28s a sack, and the best

was in a fair request, and sold at nearly last week's
prices( but all of a secondary quality was much neglected
