THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

The wheat trade was very dull to.day, and what sales were
made were at a reduction of 6d to Is per quarter upon last
week's prices. The supply was not large. Barley was
neglected by the malsters, and could only be sold at Is per
quarter reduction. Beans and peas maintain their price.

HULL, APRIL 15.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—There has
been a pause in the trade during the past week, and previous
rates have been scarcely attainable. We had a fair supply of
wheat from our own growers to-day ; millers had rather the
advantage in buying, but the market was not quotably lower.
Very little business passing in foreign wheat, but not much on
board ship. We note no alteration in the value, but anything
out of condition is bad to quit. A fair demand for barley,
though hardly on so good terms as last week. Oats sell freely
from the ship at fully our quotations. Peas are neglected.
With moderate arrivals of linseed, and a fair demand from the
crushers, the article is well supported; best quality of Hull
cakes are not procurable under our top quotations, and a good
salo for fine foreign. The rapeseed market, is very dull, and
only a slow sale for cakes. In bones no alteration.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

TUE STOUR VALLEY.—We learn that the London and
North-Western Company have, with the view of show-
ing their desire to carry out the proposed agreement
with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, given
instructions for the Stour Valley line to be completed
torthwith.

THE LOCOMOTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY.—WO hear that the efficiency of the
locomotive department of this line, which has hitherto
been admirably managed, is likely to be still further in-
creased by the employment of some of the old and ex-
perienced engine• drivers who left the service of the Lon-
don and North-Western Company about three months
since. These men are amongst the ablest drivers in the
country; and looking to the fact, that their characters
for sobriety and freedom from accident with their trains
are unexceptionable, and that they are now fully sensible
of the folly and mischief of disputes between masters
and men, they will be a v luable acquisition to the Great
Northern authorities, who appear to pride themselves
upon the rate at, and regularity with which, their pas-
senger-trains are worked. We regret to hear, that the
new hands upon the southern division of the London and
North-Western Railway have not been found quite " up
to the mark."—Herald.

about 16 chops, on which an advance of tael 1 to tael 13
on previous prices has been paid.
In green tea the sales are estimated at 32,000 pack-
ages, chiefly for America. Prices for this description of
tea have ruled high, being nearly equal to those of last
season:--

India, the rate for Company's bills has ranged from 23Gr.

Freights-21. ss.
From Shanghai our dates come down only to the 14th
inst. A fair demand for imports had existed before the
Chinese holidays, since when business had not generally
bee❑ resumed.

Tea—Of congou about 25 chops had been settled for
at an advance on previous rates of about 1 tael. In
greens there were no transactions.
Silk—Very little of this article remained in the mar-
ket, and previous quotations maintained. Nos. 2 and 3
Tsatlee, 440 dolls. to 390 dolls. Export from China
since July 1, 1850, 16,300 bales.

cline was expected.
(From the Bombay Times.)
BOMBAY, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 15.
The Money and Share Markets—Since we last went
to press, the money market has been in a state of much
quietness, and, if anything, a better feeling may be said
to obtain in the bazaar. Late high rates of interest are
still maintained, but a fall is looked for before long.
Securities are dull. New Fives, 98; Company's Fours,
81f; Transfer Loan, 110; Sicca Fives, 102; Sicca Fours,
85. Shares are also dull at—Bank of Bombay, 14 per
cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 17 per cent. discount;
Commercial Bank, 16} per cent. discount; Agra Bank,
5 per cent. dis. Owing to the near approach of the
Hooli festival, which commenced to-day, native dealers
kept out of the market during the past fortnight, and
transactions in imports have consequently been to a
limited extent. The holydays terminate on the 19th,
when it is expected business will be resumed with ac-
tivity. In exports there has also been little doing.
Cotton Piece Goods—As reported in our last, the
demand has been chiefly for grey goods, in which a
tolerable fair business has been done. In grey shirt-
ings sales to the amount of 24,850 pieces, at prices
varying from 30. to 6r. 34a. per piece. The value of
nearly all qualities 40 and 45-inch makes has gone down
a trifle, cad to effect large sales it has been found ne-
cessary to force them on the market. Jacconets—
Sales, 77,000 pieces, at lir. to lir. per piece. In good
demand. Domestics—Sales, 2,650 pieces, at sr. 3a. to
12ir. per piece. Madapollams—Sales 2,650 pieces, at
2*r. to 2r. sa. per piece. T. Cloth—Sales, 400 pieces
33k 24, at Rs. 3.8 6, and 600 at Rs. 3-7-0 per piece. In
fair demand. In bleached goods sales have been to a
limited extent. Shirtings 9,100 pieces, at 440. to 6r. sa.
per piece; jaconnets, 1,800 pieces, at Rs. 2-7 to Rs. 3-9;
dimity, 750 pieces, at Rs. 3-15; lappets, 400 pieces,
40 ;410, at Rs. 2-1, and 300 at Rs. 2-3. A few other
sales have had effect, which will be found noted below.
In dyed and fancy goods there have been few transac-
tions, and the value of some few descriptions has declined.
Cotton Yarn—The sales amount to 143 bales water
and 115 bales mule twist, and 20 bales orange yarn. In
the two former, 20's have slightly advanced, 30's remain
in demand, 40's are dull, while for 50's the value has
somewhat advanced. For coloured yarns the market
has been dull for the past month.
Woollens—Nothing doing.
Metals—Some descriptions of copper and iron have
improved during the fortnight, but sales have been small,
and confined to English bar, nail rod, and sheet iron.
Cochineal and Saffron—We hear of no sales, but
theh
priceas of both hleaw. __s improved, and the stock of? the
latter

Beer—The first arrival of the last October's brow of
Bass's beer has just arrived by the Stornaway, and has
been eagerly bought up at 80r. to 85r. The quality is
reported to be excellent. Allsopp's last October brew
has not yet arrived; a great demand exists for it, and
it is much wanted. Of Tennent's a sale of 30 hhds. is
reported at 60r. per hhd. 10 hhd. porter have also been
sold at 50r. per hhd.

Wines and Spirits—Sales of 4 hhds. and 6 butts of
sherry wino are reported at 300 r. per 130 gallons. In
spirits we hear of little doing, the only sale reported
being one of 800 kilders. of gin, at 11r. per kilder.
Marine Stores—No sales to report, and the dullness
formerly mentioned continues to prevail for all articles
coming under this head.
