THE COUNTRY MARKETS,

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 6.—A good trade to day, at very
full prices.
MANCHESTER, DEC. 6.—The flour trade since our last
report, has been characterised by considerable firmness,
and, in some few instances, for favourite brands, slightly
enhanced rates have been realized; but on the whole
there has been a reluctance on the part of dealers and
bakers to purchase freely, and the tales effected were
therefore by no means extensive. Oatmeal has continued
to meet a good demand at fully previous rates. Of malt
coastwise, and oats and owmeal from Ireland, the ar-
rivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are to a fair amount,
but limited of other articles; and from abroad the im-
ports are this week only on a very moderate scale. At
our market this morning the beg runs of wheat and the
most approved marks of flour were held for rather higher
rates, other descriptions remaining steads, in value; the
demand was, however, only moderate. In oats and ow.-
meal no change was observable.
At Witham wheat and white pens wore each is arer,
barley, especially all below first rate quality, was is
cheaper.
At Sudbury, OR Thursday, wheat improved Is; barley
declined in price to the same amount.
In the other markets of Suffolk there has also been an
improvement.
At Ipswich, though there was a very large supply,
wheat realized is per quarter more than last week.
At Bury wheat was taken off freely at the same ad-
vance; new malt commanded a better price.
At Woodbridge the farmers, though offered Is more
for wheat, declined to sell at these rates; white peas
commanded higher rates, but barley, although generally
of good quality, was cheaper.
On Thursday, ut Stowmarket, there was an abundant
show of barley; wheat well maintained its value.
At Stourbridge market on Friday wheat was held
firm at last week's rates. In barley less business was
doing, and sales were effected at a decline of Is per
quarter. Beans and peas also dull, and rather lower
prices submitted to. Oats in fair request at former rates.
The average price of wheat must be quoted at about

11 18s 9d per quarter.
NOTTINGHAM, DEC. 6.—At Derby, yesterday, there
was a full market both for wheat and barley, and late
rates were in both articles fully maintained. No change
in other things. Wheat, red, 33s to 38s per 36 stone;
ditto, white, 40s to 445; ditto, old, 40s to 445. Barley,
malting, 24s to 283 per imperial measure; grinding, 24s
to 25s per 30 stone. Oats, old, 223 to 26s per 24 stone;
ditto, new, 18s to 21s. Beans, old, 36s to 39s per 38
stone; ditto, new, 31s to 345. Flour, fine, 27s to 288;
superfine, 30s to 31s per 20 stone. At Newark, on
Wednesday, there was a good att,!ndance and a plen-
tiful supply of all kinds of grain. Business was active,
very large quantities changing hands at a steady ad-
herence to the prices of last week. Wheat, white 41s
to 445; red, 363 to 40.1. Barley, making, 27s to 303;
grind 203 to 223. Oats 17s to 275; beans, 281 to 342.
Prices also were firm or slightly on the rise at Lincoln,
Grantham, Retford, Worksop, and Mansfield. We had
a fair supply of wheat and barley at our market to-day;
fine red wheat obtained an advance of is per quarter,
secondary sorts kept the prices of last week. The best
samples of barley were in demand, but we cannot quote
any dearer. In oats and beans there was no alteration.

At Stratford-on-Avon, on Friday, there was a good
attendance, with a good supply of wheat from the
farmers. Trade ruled firm, at our last quotations. Bed
wheat, 13s 9d to 14s 3d; white, 14a 9d to 15s 3d, best
samples. The barley trade was flat, and a reduction of
Is per quarter was the result, with a short supply. Best
samples, from 24s to 26d per quarter. Beans were also
lower—full 6s per bag; old ones, 12s 6d per bag; new
ditto, lOs 6d. In oats no alteration. White boiling
peas from 12s to 13s per bag. Average prices for the
week ending Dec.:—Wheat, 1/17s 21d; barley, 1/ 5s 2d;
beans, I/ 93 4d.
At Wolverhampton market there was a large supply
of wheat from the farmers, which prevented their obtain-
ing any advance in price. The dealers were very unwil-
ling sellers at last week's rates, and in a few sales
realized 8s to is per quarter more money. White wheat
sold at 5s 2d to 5s 8d; red, 4s 8d to 5s per 621 b. Malt-
ing barley also in good supply from the growers, and a
concessisn of about is per quarter was made to induce
the maltsters to purchase; 27s to 29s per imperial quarter
the current value. Old and new English beans more
freely offered, and upon both descriptions about is per
quarter decline occurred; old, 13s 6d to 14s; new, 12s
per 1961 b. Oats in moderate request, without change
in price; English, 210 to 225; Irish, 18i 6d to 20s per
3121 b.
DALKEITSI, 4.—The relative weight per
-four bushels
of the three Flees of wheat were 18st 21b, Ibat 31b, and 17,t
81b. Oats, 12st 81b, list 121 b, and lOst 81b. Barley, 16st 51b,
