THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 20.—The arrivals are good of
wheat- and barley, and for the former article the demand
is slow and prices easier; samples out of condition and
of coarse quality much neglected, and sold at irregular
prices. No change in the value of barley, and the de-
mand confined to the best qualities. Oats and shelling
rather cheaper. Beans no change.
