THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, Nov. I.—Wo have this week moderate
supplies of all articles. Having a limited demand for
wheat, the best samples are sold on rather easier terms;
coarse lots are with difficulty disposed of at a decline of
Is per quarter. Fine barleys full as well sold, in other
qualities no alteration. Oats and shelling are rather
higher. Beans met a slow salts at declining prices.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Nov. I.—Our corn mar-
ket this morning was very thinly attended, and we had
a slow demand for wheat, but there was no alteration
made Lin the value of old or new; the latter is still
scarce. Fleur finds buyers in quantity, and prices are
supported; any pressing seller is quickly relieved at a
fair value. Oats and oatmeal were each rather dearer.
Barley, beans, and peas supported late rates. Indian
corn was quiet to-day, but it would be difficult to buy at
less money than on Tuesday; the top value of the best
American yellow is 303 per 4801bs.
NEIVIIIIRY CORN MARKET, OCT. 31.—Our supply of
wheat to-day is large, but most of the new is affected by
the weather; old and the finest selected new sell at late
rates, bat other descriptions are a dragging sale, and in
some instances a slight decline has been submitted to in
order to effect sales. Barley, of which we have a large
supply, is an exceedingly dull sale, and, except for the
finest descriptions, almost unsaleable. Beans, peas, and
oats, moderate supply, with but little demand, and rather
a downward tendency in price.
EXETER, NOV. 1.--Cattle--The supply to-day was
moderate, with a fair demand for cattle, and rather a
brisk demand for sheep. We notice but little change
in prices —for the best beef, 8s per score has been made,
whilst ordinary qualities have sold from 7s to 7s 6d.
Not much doing in cows and calves. Sheep sold briskly,
fat ewes, 4id per lb; wethers, 5d to 54d; store hogs, 254
to 32s each. Pannier—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 6s each ;
geese, 3s 6d to 5s 6d each; ducks, 3s 6d to 5s per couple;
fowls, 2s 6d to 3s 9d per couple; pheasants, 53 to 6s
6d per brace; partridges, 2s 9d to 3s per brace; wild
ducks, 5s per brace; woodcocks, 4s to 5s 6d per brace;
