THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, AUG. 15 —The weather during the present
week has teen chat,geable, and nut altogether favourable
for the crops or the progress of harvest; this has a ten-
d,ricy to give a little more firmness to the trade and check
further decline in prices. There is a good arrival of
wheat, and a steady sale for good fresh qualities at the
prices of last Friday. No change in the value of oats
and shelling, but the demand very limited. Beans are
fully as dear. Grinding barley rather cheaper.
