THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD. DEC. 12.—The change of wind has
brought the expected fleet of vessels to hand, and a
hundred and twenty sail have arrived at Poole during
the past eight days. Our arrivals of grain this week are
large, and millers are enabled to make their purchases of
wheat on easy terms; and new is generally is per quar-
ter lower than the extreme rates of last week. Old
maintains its previous value, and on the whole there is
no desire to urge sales; but buyers are very cautious.
Fine barley is fully as dear; the second sorts sell very
slowly. Oats and shelling have advanced. Beans are
more plentiful and ;ricers are la per quarter lower. No
alteration in other articles.

NEWBURY, DEC. 11.—Our supply of wheat today is
a fair average, and the condition is good. The trade is
extremely inanimate, and although prices cannot be
noted lower, still there is difficulty in obtaining late
rates. Barley, a large supply, with a dull sale. In some
instances a slight decline was acceded to, but generally
the article is held for late rates. Beans, peas, and oats
in moderate supply, with a fair demand at late rates.
LIYERPOOI„ DEC. 12.—The attendance at our Corn
Exchange this morning was thin, and the business trans-
acted was small: Wheat was Id per bushel worse than

day, but there was no observable change in the value of
this or of any other article of the corn trade.

morning presented, as is usual after the fair, a very
