THE COUNTRY MARKETS

Lis,unroof., Matto.' I.—Supplies of wheat and flour still
come freely from foreign ports, but principally from France,
whence we have received since Tuesday about 3,000 quarters
of the former, and upwards of 7,501► sacks of flour. The market
yesterday morning was again dull, and wheat and flour were
difficult to move, but there was no change in the pi ices of
Tuesday. Indianicorn supported late rates, with a fair inquiry
for shipments to Ireland. Barley, beans, and peas were un-
altered in value. No change to• day.
MANCHESTER, MARCH 1 Another week of extreme in-
activity has been experienced in the trade here, all articles
having met an exceedingly limited demand at the prices cur-
rent on our last market day. Moderate quantities of barley
and malt coastwise, and of oats and oatmeal from Ireland, from
the chief arrivals of English and Irish produce into Liverpool
this week; while from abroad the supplies of wheat and flour,
although on a reduced scale as compared with previous imports,
are still to a fair amount, in addition to which there are 1,670
quarters of beans and 1,615 quarters of Indian corn reported.
At our market this morning few transactions occurred, and we
repeat nominally the quotations of this day se'nnight.
NOTTINGHAM, MARCH I.—We have had a good attendance
at market to-day, and although the demand was not brisk, fine
samples of wheat fully suppported their previous value ; secon-
dary sorts were slow sale. The supply of barley was good,
but the demand was limited, at last week's prices. In oats and
beans no alteration.

DALKEITH, FEB. 27.—The relative weight per four bushe a
of the three prices of wheat were 18st 71b, 18st 0113, and 17s

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 2S.—There has been
rather more disposition shown this week to operate in our
market, and the transactions since our last, both in West India
and Mauritius, have been to a fair extent at about former
prices. Refined is still dull. In rum no sales are reported.—
Bristol Mercury.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, FEE. 27.—At our market to
day the numbers were—oxen, 775 ; sheep, 1,116. The supply
of cattle was much the same as last week, and prices slightly
advanced. Best ox beef 465, current 43s to 445, inferior 32s
to 365, sinking the offal. As to sheep there was little altera-
tion either in supply or prices from those of last week. Best
mutton 6d, current 5d to Sid, inferior 4d to 5d per lb, sinking
the offal At the close a few of both cattle and sheep were
turned out unsold.

CORK, FEE. 28.
The supply of home grain has become very trifing, the re-
ceipts for the week being only—wheat, 97 brls, at 13s Od to
186 3d per brl ; Barley, 471 brls, at 9s to 12s per brl ; oats,
3,225 brls, at 8s to lOs 4d per brl. The price of wheat is
nominal. That of barley and oats, which are now beginning
to be inquired for for seed purposes, is pretty well maintained.
Owing to the causes already adverted to, no sales are being
made in wheat. We quote the value of Polish Odessa at 20s
to 20s 6d per barrel, but this price is altogether nominal. In
barley we have little doing. No change has taken place in
oats, in which it is impossible to effect sales. The trade in
flour continues very dull, and the business passing in the ar-
ticle is of the same retail character lately noticed. Indian
corn meets a very quiet, retail sale, at prices varying from 71
to 71 7s 6d per ton; the latter being the extreme value of
prime Greats.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
LIVERPOOL WOOL, FEE. 27. The following wools have
been offered at auction here to-day, say-500 Buenos Ayres,
500 East India, 1,000 Oporto, Turkey, Donskoi, &c. The
attendance was scanty, bidding without spirit, and prices at id
per lb lower than December.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 28.—Since the
close of the public sales there has been rather more inquiry for
colonial wools. In foreign wools comparatively little doing.
Prices of most descriptions are pretty nun at recent rates..
