THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAI cn 14.—We have had liberal supplies of
wheat, flour, beans, and oatmeal since Tuesday, and at the
same time we have to remark a better feeling the trade
generally. At this morning's market wheat and *ter ere in
moderate request, at full prices. Oats and tm pported
late rates. Barley, beans, and peas wer thout change.
Indian corn was in fair request for shipm Ireland, and
purchases were not so easy to make as on ay, but there
was no quotable change in price.
Dermot", Maucts 12.--Wheat was pled of more
freely at 13s 6d, while some lots realised 14s per 1681bs ; barley
said to be in demand from 8s to 8s 6d per 1471b8; oats, from
5s to 6s per 105Ibs.
Ex ETEV., Ma Heil 14.—Cattle Market—The supply of cat-
tle was a fair average one, and that of sheep rather larger than
on the previous week. Fat beef ruled from 71 to 7s 9d per
score. Pork Carcases—The supply to-day was again rather
larger than that of last week, and prices were maintained, the
figure ranging from 6s to 7s per score, in a few instances very
choice articles brought 78 .1d per score. Pannier—Turkeys,
5s to 8s each; ducks, 51 to 6s per couple; fowls, 3s to 4s
ditto ; spring chicken, 4s to 4a 6d ; galenas, 5s to 511 6d ditto;

Market-4s 6d to 5s per bushel appears to be the price for
wheat. Barley, 2s 9d to 3s; oats are the turn dearer, is 10d
to 2s- 2d per bushel ; fine flour, 27s to 28s per sack.
BRISTOL SUGAR MA RIET, MARCIE 14.—The • market
still continues most inanimate, and the trade will only pur-
chase for their immediate requirements; prices must again be
quoted 6d lower, and have a further downward tendency. In
refined there is rather a better demand, but prices do not im-
prove. Rum very dull, and vices Mercurr,
