THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH B.—The trade to-day is quiet, with
no change in the quotations of any article.
MANCHESTER, MARCH B.—At our market this morning
there was a very limited amount of business transacted, but,
except as regards flour, which was obtainable on rather lower
terms, we do not alter our previous quotations.
NOTTINGHAIkt, MARCH B.—The supply of wheat at market
to-day was not large, but the condition was improved, and last
week's prices were fully supported. The trade for barley was
slow, but good qualities were quite as dear. In oats and beans
no alteration. _

WORCESTER, MARCH B.—. The market to-day was on the
whole firm, and last Saturday's rates were fully maintained.
English wheat on offer at from 14s 6d to 15s 4d per bag of
three bushel. Malting barley 3s to 3s 4d per bushel ; and dis-
tilling 2s 10d to 3s per bushel.
At Stourbridge yesterday the supply of wheat was limited,
and fully former rates were obtained. Barley was inquired for,
but higher prices could not be obtained. Oats in demand at
last week's rates. Peas and beans as before, but little doing.

At Wolverhampton, also the supply was short, and fine
samples of wheat made a trifling advance. English, white,
16s to 16s 6d ; and red, 14s 6d to 15s per 9 score 101 b. In
malting barley more money was demanded but not paid. Good
qualities realized 22s to 24s per quarter. Oats from, say 18s
to 20s per 3121 b. Old beans, lls3d to Ils 9d per 10 score.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 6.—At our market
to-day the numbers were—oxen, N6B ; sheep, 1,190. Owing
to the large supply of cattle sales were very slowly effected,
with a tendency downwards. Best ox beef 455, sinking offal,
current from 42s to 435, inferior cows anu bulls 32s to 365.
Though the supply of sheep was small, still they were equal to
the derwand, and down in prices 2s per head, as compared with
last market. Best aged wethers bid, current 5d to 51d, old
ewes 4d to sd. At the close of the market a great many
turned out unsold.

12s Od to 14s Od; Indian corn, per 4801 b, 29s to 325.
CORK, MARCH 7.
The continued influx of foreign grain has naturally a de-
pressing effect upon the trade, and we cannot therefore report
any improvement in business. The supplies of home grain are
very trifling, the receipts for the week being only Wheat,
119 brls, at 13s to 18s 9d per brl ; barley, 433 brls, at 10s 3d
to 12s per brl ; oats 2,862 brls, at 8s to lis per brl. The
small quantity of wheat offering is taken at about late rates,
while oats and barley being required for seed purposes fully
maintain their value. Some speculative business has been
done in wheat, the low rates at which it is offering having
tempted some parties to make purchases. A few lots there-
fore have changed hands at about 16s 6d per brl for Egyptian,
and 20s to 20s 6d for Polish Odessa. Galata wheat is offering
at 17s 6d to 18s. We have nothing passing in barley. in oats
it is impossible to effect sales. The market is very dull, and
prices continue nominally the same as last quoted. We have
the same quiet, retail trade in fine flours noticed of late, and
with a downward tendency in prices, bakers purchase only as
necessity obliges them. Coarse descriptions however continue
in good demand. Indian corn manifests a tendency to decline
in value, and the sales passing are of a mere retail character,
any change in the article being in favour of the purchaser.

BRISTOL GREAT LEATHER FAIR, MARCH 7.
At this fair, the largest in the kingdom, which commenced
on Tuesday and finished to-day, there was a large attendance
from various parts of the country, an 4 the leather trade gene-
rally presents a healthier appearance than for many years past.
The accumulated stocks have been cleared off at constantly im-
proving prices, and a continuance of theliresent safsakery stare,
of the trade is strongly anticipated. A very large amoukt 9f4slT,
ness was done at the fair at full prices.' • ,In sole leatberinam9 -
heavy foreign butts were in fair demiteid; the supply Of.liOlsi
and middle weight English and fa ign butts was limited..
English and foreign shoulders were in sretluest, and offal of all
descriptions met a ready sale at advanced quotations. In
dressing leather, best saddlers' bides and strong harness hides
