THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

- -- -
LEEDS, JAN. 22.—The reported arrivals of grain are
small, but the quantity of wheat offering is quite equal
to the demand, which continues very limited, yet in the
business trans .cted Friday's rates are maintained. Barley
steady. Beans, peas, and other articles are without mate-
rial alteration. Wheat, 4,260; oats, 65; barley, 1,182;
beans, 600; shelling, 94; rapeseed, 107.
WISBECH. JAN. 19.—We are well supplied with
grain of all kind-. Ths best dry wheat meets a fair de-
mand, at about the prices of last week; whilst the damp
inferior samples are dull sale, at rather less money.
Oats and berns maintain their former value. Wheat,
white, 39s to 41s—extra, 435; ditto, red, 34s to 38s—
extra, 40s perlquarter. Oats, lid to afd per stone.
Beans, new, 24s to 26s per quarter.
PRESTON, JAN. 19.—Owing to a prevalence of wind
from the east, the arrivals are insignificant. There being
so lively symptoms in other leading markets, the trade
here during the week has exhibited less firmness, and in
the limited business passing prices have been the turn in
favour of the buyers. There was only a very moderate
supply of English wheat this morning, which met a slow
sale at the rates of this day se'nnight. Very little de-
mand for Irish, though offered at an abatement of Id per
bushel. Foreign neglected. Flour unaltered in value.
Prime mealing oats sustained our last quotations. but
secondary qe:lities were rather cheaper. Farmers' oat-
meal declined 6d per load, and Irish manufature moved
slowly, at a reduction of 3d per 2401 b. All other articles
as last noted.

NOTTINGHAM, JAN 19—The weather has been very wet
to-day, which caused a small attendance at market, and
consequently less !grain offering than usual. The best
samples of wheat obtained last week's prices—inferior
sorts a shade lower. Barley was in fair supply, and
there being but few buyers, late rates were with diffi-
culty maintained. There was no variation in the value
of either oats or beans, and but little doing in them.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 22.—We had
a fair supply of beasts at this morning's market. The
quality was generally good. The trade was brisk, and
all were soh). The sheep trade was somewhat better,
about the usual number shown, and the whole cleared off.
Beasts, 600; sheep, 4,300. Beef, 4s 6d to 6s Od per
stone; mutton, 4-id to sid per lb.
Dunt.tm, Ttinsnay, JAN. 22.—We had a fair supply
and a very dull market at our Corn Exchange to-day.
Wheat moved off' at about the prices of last market, but
in some instances a reduction of 3l per barrel was sub-
mitted to on barley and oats. Scarcely a transaction
oocurred in Indian corn, though lower rates would have
been submitted to to do busisiess. white wheat,
20i to 235; red ditto, 193 Gd to 21a 61; barley, Ils 6d
