THE COUNTRX MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, MAncit B.—The supply of wheat is large,
and good of other grain. The trade continues in the dull
inanimate state we have so long noted, and though there is
less pressure on the market, the wants of the millers are so
limited as to cause a further reduction in wheat of is per qr.
' Barley remains as last stated, the demand being still confined
to the best qualities. Oats, shelling, and beans are offering
on somewhat lower terms.

BRISTOL SUGAR MAREET, MARCH B.—The only feature
to notice in our market this week is the sale of a large parcel.
of Mauritius to the refiners, at steady prices. Rum is quite
neglected. Refined goods meet a fair sale at former rates.
Treacle in plentiful supply, at about 17s 6d per cwt.—Bristol
Mercury.
EXETER, MARCH B.—Cattle market—The supply of beasts
was above an average, and considerably more than last week.
The demand was not very brisk, and for fat beef late prices
were hardly supported. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s to 8s each ;
ducks, 4s 6d to 5s 6d per couple; wild, ditto, 3s to 4s
ditto ; widgeon, 2s 6d ditto ; galenas 5s ditto ; fowls, 2s 9d
to 4s ditto ; spring chickens, 3s 6d to 4s 6d ditto ; pigeons,
Is 9d to 2s ditto ; hares, 2s 6d each; roasters, 4s to 5,
ditto; butter, Is to is ld per lb; eggs, 20 for Is. Seed
Market—We notice no alterations from last week's quotations,
but clover is dull. Wool—Scarcely any business has been
done to-day, the staplers not being anxious to buy. Where
sales have been pressed a decline has bsen submitted to, and
the quotation must be from ed to bid per lb. Corn Ex-
change, one o'clock—There hasnot been a large stroke of bu-
siness transacted, nor can we quote any improvement in price.
Some mixed wheat (red and white,) has been sold at 4s 8d
per bushel, and prime wheat at ss, (warranted). Neither
to-day, nor for several previous weeks, has there been any
foreign wheat in the market. The low prices arise from the
universal distrust caused by the confident assertions that large
quantities will arrive, than to any other source. Malting
barley, 2s 10d to 3s per bushel ; oats, Is 10d to 2s Id ditto;
fine flour, 27s 6d to 29s per sack.
NERBERY, MARCH 7.—Our supply of wheat is quite
moderate, yet more than sufficient for the demand. The dull
state of the flour markets, both east and west, has a very
depressing influence upon the wheat trade; and although a de-
cline of is to 2s per qr. was submitted to, still some quantity
remains over unsold. Barley. moderate supply, in addition to
the requirements of maltaters, there being some little demand
for seed; all descriptions of barley fully maintained late rates.
Beans, peas, and oats, fair supply, and in fair request at fully
late rates.

LITYMPOOL, MAncii B.—At this day's market there was a
very scanty attendance if the town and country trade, who
manifested extreme indifference to enter into business. In the
few sales made of wheat and flour the prices of Tuesday were
with difficulty maintained. Fine oats were held firmly at late
rates, but inferior qualities were offered on lower terms. Bar-
ley, beans, and peas were quite neglected. New yellow Ameri-
can corn was again easier to buy, 26s per quarter being the
current price; white was generally held at 27s 6d to 28s per
quarter.
BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 7.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the 2d the trade ruled very dull, but lower prices
were not generally submitted to for any description of wheat.
Barley as difficult to dispose of as ever. Oats taken in limited
quantities at previous rates. Beans and peas nominally unal-
tered. This week we have to report the same absence of de-
mand as for some weeks past, the few sales made were at a re-
duction of fully Is. per quarter. We have heard of no trans-
actions in barley. Oats are held for previous rates. On beans
the turn is again in favour of the buyer. In peas nothing doing
worth notice. At this day's market there was only a moderate
supply of wheat from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull at
Is per quarter under the currency of this day se'nnight. Bar-
ley, except best qualities, could only be sold at a similar de-
cline. Oats pressed on the markets without finding buyers.
Nothing doing worth notice in either beans or peas. The
millers have lowered the retail price of flour Is 8d per sack.
BRISTOL, MARCH 7.—The market was well supplied with
English and foreign wheat, which mat an inadepuate demand,
and on the limited sales occurring prices have receded in the
last fortnight from is to 2s per quarter. English wheat, 363
to 40s per imperial quarter; ditto foreign white, 42s to 465;
ditto red, fine, 39s to 425; ditto ordinary, 36s to 38s; ditto hard,
34s to 37s per 4801bs. Malting barley is very dull and cheaper,
and grinding parcels may be noted at from 6d to Is per quar-
ter lower; English malting, 211 to 28s per imperial quarter;
ditto and foreign grinding, 18s to 21s per 4001bs. Oats were
unsaleable at fully Is per quarter lower. Devon and Welsh
oats, 14s to 15s per imperial quarter; ditto, Irish white,
15s 6d to 17s per 3201bs ; ditto black, I4s to 15s per imperial
quarter; ditto foreign, none. Beans continue to decline at
reduced quotations. English beans, 24s to 28s. per imperial
quarter • ditto foreign, 23s to 25s per 4801bs. Flour was Is
per sack lower, wtth a sharp sale. English flour, seconds, 27s
to 29s per sack; ditto American, sweet, 22s 6d to 23s 6d per
barrel. The average are—Bristol wheat, 38s 2,1; Gloucester
ditto, 38s I Id. Bristol oats, 16s Id; Gloucester ditto, 17s 3d;
Bristol barley, 26s ld ; Gloucester ditto, 23s 3d. Bristol
beans, 30s 1, d ; Gloucester ditto, 25s 4d.
