THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, Aran. 30.
The market was very scantily supplied with wheat; the
millers having little on hand, took it readily, as samples were
effered them is to 2s per quarter advance. There were a few
samples of barley, which sold at late prices, and we noticed a
few samples of beaus.

HULL, APRIL 30.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—There was
only a moderate supply of wheat at our this day's market, for
which farmers generally asked is to 2s per qr advance, and to
some extent, this was complied with by needy buyers ; gene-
rally we quote the market a good shilling dearer. Moro in-
quiry for foreign, but there is little afloat ; prices. abroad are
too high to admit of profitable import, and granaried parcels
are held for more money than even the is advance paid to-day
cn late prices; 37s to 388 per sir was paid for farmers' runs to-
, day, weighing naturally 631bs per bushel. An improved de-
mand for malting barley has sprung up, but confined to the
bolder descriptions, especially Chevalier Saal, which may be
written is dearer; thin new and oldchambered parcels con-
tinue difficult to sell ; grinding is well worked cff, and ls more
money obtainable. Good foreign white peas are selling at 23s
per qr, 631bs ; and oats make from 7d to 8d per stone. The
market is flat for linseed, owing to the slackened demand for
oil and the low value of cakes, which are again easier ; a parcel
of fresh American is on the market, oblong, • same size and
thickness as Hull-made at-61, and thick round at 5/ 256 d per
ton, quality of both very fine. The arrival of rapeseed is
from Kertch, and for crushers' account; of other descriptions
the market is bare. Rape cakes are unaltered in value. We
quote bones 6d per ton dearer, and short arrivals.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 30. —At this day's market there was a
good attendance of the town and country trade, and several
buyers from a considerable distance, who evinced some anxiety
to purchase ; but as holders were firm in requiring a further
advance on Friday's price, only a moderate business resulted in
wheat, at an advance since this day week of 3d to 4d on
middling and inferior descriptions, and 2d to 3d on fine lower
Baltic red. Oats were in good demand, at an improvement of
id to id per 451bs. Oatmeal met with little attention, and
cannot be quoted dearer. Barley, beans, and peas were in fair
request, and a free sale, at 29s per qr for yellow, and 28s to
28s 6d for prime white.
