Country Markets,

LIVERPOOL —DE c. 30.
At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the
town and country trade, and a good show of samples of
wheat and flour. Holders began by asking an advance of
6d per 701bs. on all kinds of wheat, which checked the de-
mand ; however, ultimately, a fair amount of business was
done at 2d to 3d per 701bs over the rates of this day week
for prime qualities of white and red, 4d per 701bs. on me-
dium and inferior qualities. Flour met with a moderate
demand, at an advance of ls. per barrel and sack on the
week. Oats were neglected and rather easier to buy, but
oatmeal retained its value. Barley, beans, and peas sold
in retail at late rates. Indian corn was at first held at
35s per qr. for mixed, but the demand, being otherwise
limited, settled down to 34s 6cl per qr., could not be made,
yellow bringing 35s and white 35s 6d to 36s 6d per qr. in
retail.

HIILL—DEc. 30.

We had a small supply of wheat to-day, which met free
sale at about is to 2s over the rates paid last Tuesday ;
foreign, is dearer. Barley of best malting description is
dearer ; other descriptions of spring corn without altera-
tion. Linseed is firmer, but cakes are the turn in favour
of buyers. Bones aro again dearer, and a sale reported at
6/. bs cost, freight, and insurance.
