THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, APRIL 25.—The arrivals of wheat, barley,
and beans are good this week; the wheat trade rules dull at
last week's prices, and the demand is rather inactive than other-
wise, as our millers evince but little disposition to go into
stock. Fine barley supports late rates; oats, shelling, and
beans rather lower.

NEWBURY, APRIL 24.—Our supply of wheat, to-day
is only moderate, but fully sufficient to meet the require-
ments of the home trade, to which the demand is almost
entirely confined. Sales proceed slowly, and late rates
were barely supported. Barley, short supply, and many
of our maltsters having finished, the demand was mostly
for seed and grinding qualities, and we can note no im-
provement from last week. Beans, peas, and oats, short
supply, and in fair request at full rates. In seeds, a fair
demand at full rates.
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 25.—At this day's market there
was only a small attendance of the town and country
trade, who bought very sparingly of wheat at Tuesday's
prices. Flour was much pressed on the market, and
where sales were made a reduction of 6d per sack and
barrel was generally submitted to. Fine mealing oats
were held for Fd per 451bs advance, which in some mea-
sure checked the demand; but oatmeal was in brisk re-
quest at an improvement of 31 per load. Barley, beans,
and peas were without material alteration in value.
Indian corn met with little inquiry, and must be noted
fully Gd per quarter lower.
EXETER. APRIL 25.—Cattle Market—The num-
ber of beasts driven in was not large, and the
business done not very extensive. Pannier—Tur-
keys, 6s to' is 6d; ducklings, 5s to 6s 6d per couple;
fowls, 3s 9d to 4s 91 ditto; spring chickens, 3s
to 3s 9d ditto; pigeons, is 9d ditto; leverets, 3s to
3s 6d each; galenas, 5s to 53 61 per couple; butter, is
to is Id per lb; eggs, 20 to 22 for Is. Corn Exchange—
The samples of grain generally have been scarce. Eng-
lish Wheat is 53 per bushel for prime, and 5s 3d ditto,
when warranted the half hundreds. Red French is
offering at the quay at 393 per quarter (Goths to the
bushel). Polish Odessa wheat at Bridgwater is offered
at 37s Gd per quarter. Barley, 3s per bushel. Oats are
very scarce, 2s 6d per bushel has been given, and we
have heard of as much as 2s 91 in some instances. Fine
flour, 28s to 303 per sack. Wool—The staplers will not
give more than Id per lb.
BANGOR, APRIL 25.—Wheat, without alteration, beat
qualities, 40s to 425; middling and inferior, 37s to 40s;
barley and oats wero not so plentiful as of late, which
caused a slight advance in price. The former sold at
21s to 235; the latter at 15s to 17s; oatmeal was the turn
in favour of the seller.

DENBIGH, APRIL 23.—Wheat, 14s 6d to 153 per
168Ibs; barley, 103 to 103 63 per 1471b5; oats, Os 6d to

sale. The provision market was well supOied. Beef.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL 25.—The market

days since our last are quite unimportant. In refiners' produce
there is rather more business doing, at steady Fir...es. Rum is
rather quiet.—Bristol Mercury.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES
WOOL TRADE.—LONDON, THURSDAY.—The wool mar-
ket has been steady, but Lot at all active. The imports
within the last few days have only comprised a few bales
from the Cape of Good Hope.

ENGLISH WOOL, APRIL 25.—There continues to be
rather more inquiry for combing wools to supply the
current wants of the manufacturers, and prices are firm
and stationary at last week's rates.

LIVERPOOL WOOL, APRIL 24.—Business in wool is
very quiet, though there has, perhaps, been a shade more
done in consequence of larger arrivals. No change in
price. Imports during the past week are:-2,280 Peru-
vian sheep's and alpaca, 535 OportO and Lisbon, 175
Buenos Ayres, 213 East India, 692 Mediterranean, 833
Turkey.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—There was very little business
done at the Cloth Halls on Saturday, but on Tuesday
there was a lair average quantity cf fine and middle
qualities sold; but low goods have been very dull of sale.
Prices are without any alteration. The buyers who visit
the market being, as usual, engaged at home during the
Easter holidays, have not been down, and business in'
consequence has been dull in the warehouses since this
day week.
BRADFORD, APRIL 24.—Wool—There is no improve-
ment in the choice of wools in the market, the arrivals
during the week being very limited. ,The indifferent
supply has given a tone of confidence to tho holders, who
are firm at recent prices, and in some instances an ad-
vance of 5s per pack is sought. The position of the spin-
ners is not in any way improved, so as to enable them
to pay even old prices. Yarns—This has been a week
of very diminished production, for the spinners have
availed themselves of the opportunity of making repg,irs,
which has tended to the stoppage of their works.- There
is, however, a greater disposition to bay yarns dan has
been manifest for some months; and contracts for-"dis-
tant delivery would be made by the manufacturers, 'but
rejected by the spinners, at a small advance; tor such•, is
the ruinous price, there must be either a consideraiiis ad-
vance or much unemployed machinery. As it is evident
no relief can be had from wool, the conflict must be be-
tween spinner and consumer. Pieces—There is nothing
calling for comment since our last. The nanufacturers
are not placed in a very enviable position, far during the
dull months usual after Christmas, goods lave fallen to
a price below what they can be produced for.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, APRIL 24.—Priori continue
to decline, both in piece goods and yarns, aid our market
has given way to-day fully to the extent of the decline
in cotton at Liverpool, consequent on the unfavourable
news by the Franklin and Canada steam-skips, from the
New York cotton markets. The decline ups!' last week's
prices may be quoted at lid to 31 per pieca in cloth, and
at id per lb in yarn; and it has been diffitult to obtain
much business even at these concessions. Th 3 home trade
havo been making a good deal of inquiry, but the want
of confidence and general instability operates prejudi-
cially to this branch of our trade, as well as to the
shipping interest. A curtailment of production continues
to be spoken of as a means of enabling iroducers to
sustain prices at something like an equivalent rate with
the quotations of the raw material; but as with many of
the smaller manufacturers a stoppage of the moving
power might involve an insurmountable difficulty in start-
ing -again, an extensive unanimity on th s point can
scarcely be looked for. The necessities of :hese parties
cause great irregularities in the market, and the reduction
in the rates of cotton, from this amongst other causes,
makes the business doing vary unremunerative. For
several months past we have indicated the probability of
a decline in the cotton market as a consequence of les-
sened consumption, and increased estimates of crop, but
notwithstading the decrease of price which has already
taken place, it is still selling at nearly one-half above
the rates of the early part of 1849, when fair uplands

was only 4id per lb, and it may be questioned if we have
seen the minimum of the present season.
