THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, MAT 6.
Tlae market for wheat was firm at last week's prices. Barley,
owing to the cold weather, was taken off rather more readily,
such few samples as appeared. There being a large stock
fair held this day, the business of the market was much in-
terrupted, and but few dealings appeared to be entered into.
The long continuance, of wet, cold, and ungenial weather is
reported to have not only retarded Vegetation, but seriously to
have affected the growing crops of wheat and barley ; and of
this latter grain there remain many thousands of acres of land
yet unsown.

HULL, MAT 6.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—We have
again to report fair arrivals of wheat and barley, with mode-
rate supplies of other articles. Some proportion of the former
has not come on the market, which has assumed a somewhat
firmer appearance - only the finest descriptions of barley go off
for malting, and thin light samples are obtaining the pre-
ference for grinding : anything between the two does not
make its fair value. The weather during the past week has
been cold and unseasonable, with frequent showers of hail and
sleet. We had to day a moderate supply of wheat from our
own and Lincolnshire farmers, with much less desire to sell
than has been evidenced for some time past prices are low,
and susceptible of some rise; the weather is not genial, and
opinion strengthening that stocks are more drawn upon than
usual at this seasoh. The business done was consequently but
limited, and without alteration upon last week's rates. Foreign
wheat is also held more firmly, and only small parcels on
board steamers or vessels coming on demurrage are sold at last
week's rates. The barley trade was hardly so good to-day :
oats are in short supply and great demand. Beans fully sup-
port their value. Not much• inquiry for peas, except at a
grinding price. A good arrival of linseed, which meets fair
sale from ship. Cakes are to be bought on easier terms, but
there is no accumulation of stock, and several mills are closed.
Nothing doing in rapeseed. Of rape cakes we have an in-
creased supply. For bones a fair demand at our quotations.
