THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, JAN. 3.—The arrival of wheat is
pretty good, but the quality and condition generally in-
ferior; the finest descriptions make full prices, and
•thers go slowly at irregular prices. No change in the
value of barley. Oats and shelling rather cheaper.
Beans as before.

NEWBURY, JAN. 2.—The quantity of wheat on offer
to-day is only moderate, but the larger portion is in very
indifferent condition. Old and best descriptions of new
sell slowly, at about late rates; but other descriptions
are unsaleable, although offering at reduced rates. Bar-
ley, moderate supply, little of which is fit for malting;
such commands a ready sale; but distillieg and grind-
ing qualities are very unsaleable, at is per quarter,decline
in value. Beans, oats, and peas, moderate supply, with
but little passing at late rates.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 3.—At this day's market there
was the usual attendance of the town trade, but very
few buyers from the country were present. Wheat and
flour met with rather a better demand, at Tuesday's
prices, though the business done was not extensive.
Oats and oatmeal were in moderate request at late rates.
Barley, beans, and peas without alteration. In Indian
Corn no change in prices can be quoted.
EXETER, JAN. 3.—Cattle• market—The !supply was
small, with an ordinary demand. Best beef sold at 8s
to 8s 3d per score; more ordinary quality 7s to 7s 9d;
cows and calves not numerous, and no first-rate animals
among them—prices ranged from 71 to 111. Barreners
sold on an average at 5s per score. Pannier—Turkeys,
4s 6d to 125 each; geese, 45 to 6s ditto; ducks, 4s to 5s
per couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 3s 6d; pheasants, 7s; galenas,
8s; teal, 3s; widgeon, 3s 6d; wild ducks, 5s per brace;
hares, 3s each; rabbits, Is; butter, Is Id per lb.; eggs,
12 for Is. Corn Exchange—The market has been dull
again today, nor is there any chance of its improve-
ment whilst the present damp, murky, foggy weather,
continues. The best new wheat is barely worth 5s per
bushel, good samples may be quoted at 48 Gd to the
latter figure. In foreign wheat nothing whatever doing,
the price being higher than that of English—nominally
the quotation is 40s per quarter for French red; barley,
3s per bushel (average); oats, is 10d to 2s ditto ; fine
flour, 27s to 29s per sack; the general quotation
being 28s.
