THE COUNTAY MAAKETS.

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 27.—We are to-day only mode-
rately supplied with all articles. The business prising
in wheat is very limited, and all a xcept the best qualities
are sold on easier terms. Barley is not offered so freely,
and for fine heavy qualities better prices are obtained,
and other descriptions meet rather more attention. Oats
and shelling meet a very dull sale, and lower. No al-
teration in beans or other articles.

NEWBURY, DEC. 26.--The quantity of wheat in offer
to-day is but moderate, but mostly of very inferior
condition. What old was in offer, together with the
best-selected new, fully realised late rates, but other de-
scriptions are quite a drug; and although lower rates
would have been taken, yet few sales were effected.
Barley, in large supply, with but little of malting
quality, which commands full rates; but other sorts are
offering at a reduction of is per quarter, without lead-
ing to any clearance. Beans and peas, short supply, but
unaltered in value. Oats, short supply, and command
late rates.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 27.—At this morning's market
there was a thin attendance of the trade, and the de-
mand for wheat and flour was quite in retail at Tues-
day's prices. Oats and oatmeal met a slow sale at late
rates. Indian corn neglected, and fine yellow was
offered at 31a per 4801bs without leading to much
business.

EXETER, DEC. 27.—Cattle-market—The supply to-
day has been moderate, but with no very brisk demand.
The best fat beef sold freely at 8s per score, in some in-
stances 8s 6d was asked, and we believe in one instance
that sum was made. Beef of more ordinary quality sold
at 7s to 7s 6d per score. Cows and calves sold at rather
better prices than of late, from 7115 s to 13110 s being
made. Barrenera about 5s per score. The supply of
sheep was also moderate, large fat wethers did not yield
more than 4id per lb. Small nice wethers sold tolerably
free at 5d per lb. Ewes 4d to 4id per lb. Pannier—
Turkeys, 4s 6d to 12s each; geese, 4s to 6s; ducks, 4s to

has been done to-day, and at a decline in prioe. The
best English wheat did not exceed Si, and prices must
be quoted 41 6d to 5s per bushel. In foreign scarcely
anything doing, red French was offered at 40s per qr.
(6010. to the bushel); and hard Kubanka wheat, 34s per
qr.; malting barley 3s to 3s 3d per bushel; oats, Is 10d
ditto to 2i; fine flour, 27s to 29s per sack of 280Ibs.

lised about 40s to 425; barley 20s to 225; oats 14s to 161.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
FOREIGN WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 27.—We have no
change to report in this market since last week. The
demand continues good for this season of the year, and
prices firm.
ENGLISH WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 27.—There has not
been any change in this market this week. The de-
mand is active, and prices are firm, with an upward ten-
dency.
TRADE OP LEEDS.—Business has been brisker at our
Cloth Halls both on Saturday and Tuesday than has
bee❑ the case for a long time past, stimulated in some
measure by the expectation that from the advance in the
price of wool and the probable advance in dyeing, goods
will be higher. The stocks in the manufacturers' hands
are very light, and good employment is generally ex-
pected through the di-trict during the winter. A pretty
extensive business has been done in the warehouses
since this day week, and the shipping houses are more
active than usual at this period of the year.

HUDDERSFIELD, DEC, 24.—Considering that the year
is so near its close, the market to-day has been a very
good one—more than an average at this season of the
year. The demand was principally for low woollens,
and for fancies of low quality.
BRADFORD, DEC. 26.—Wools—There is not so much
doing in wools as we reported last week, and for two
reasons—one that there is not the same supply and
choice of good wool, and another-that higher prices are
sought for what is remaining. The supply coming to
the market is not great, and the staplers complain both
of thd high prices which dealers are asking, and of the
growers holding for higher prices than they are justified
in giving. Nods and broker are in good request, at firm
prices. Yarns—The business doing to-day is not very
extensive. Yesterday being Christmas day, there is not
au ay< rage number r f spinners at rnatlert, and the tone
ex,hibited an indfff, relic- about taking meets for January
delivery at prices now current, say 10f per gross, for
common Lumbers 30s to 365. Pieces—There is but very
little to-day, by either merchants or manufacturers, both

being engaged in taking stock. Nothing is done exalt
for next year's account, at firm prices.
TRADE of MANCHESTER, DEC. 26.—The market 00
Tuesday, though not so exei.ed as those of last weeks
was very active, and the closing rates of last week were
fully sustained. Today we have not had so full an at'
teadsnce on the Exchange; the day after Christmas-day
is here perhaps generally too mud; devoted to the plea-
sures incident to such a festive period of the year for it
to be exoected, but still there has been a respectable
m Ala t business transacted, and neither manufacturer'
nor spinns ra appear to have been over anxious to pal
with goods. The consequence is that prices have WO
steadily and firmly maintained, both in cloth and yarns,
and these stocks have been much diminished, as in the
case of goods for India and China, and for some descrir
tions required by the home trade, there is an upward
tendency in prices. It is said that some of the Wilt
letters have hardly borne cut the anticipations inducsd
by the satisfactory sketch of 'the markets brought by
electric dispatch for the newspapers, and that copse'
quently the action on the market was premature; bat.
be that as it may, there appears to be a well-sustained
trade, and manufacturers in some cases have bon
placed under contract to the end of March, and is
many instances both spinners and manufacturers are
.
engaged to the end of January. Reviewing the rise of
prices, and comparing prestnt rates with those of last
month, the result is nearly as fellows:—Domestics one.'
sixteenth to one- iehth per yard higher ; 'r cloths and
long-cloths, lid per piece. Its seven-eighths prini!rig
cloths there is an advance of 3d on the better qualitie'l'
and of lid per piece on the lower. In 36-inch printer!
and shirtings the advance is lid to 3d. In 40.4101
shirtings, 64 reeds and uwards, 'there is an advance
phost
3d to 4id per piece, and of lid to 3d per piece " t
lower seeded shirtings of this width. There has been
rather more business in India qualities of Bolton jacco-
nets, and the quotations are about lid per piece (Wt.,'
10
In yarns the chief advance is in India mule twist, and .
cop yarns, such as are in request rather extensively DI
home manufacturers. In 20's mule, for instance. "`
of ordinary and better kinds, the advance is
id per lb upon Tuesday week. The same remark 'sr
plies to 30's and 50's (the better qualities of tbe
ilattro
in some instances be,ng nearly aid higher). end 6ad
the advance is id per lb, and in 80's and 90's aboll
Water twist is also rather in advance of last prices.
NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—Lace: The week now dolt
generally
is generally a very quiet ore, yet there is a glinipseleir
better state of things, as the Germans, contrary to t"
usual practice, have been buying fancy goods, which
hum'
_o rot
a good sign; they are very low in stock, and theref
must shortly purchase to some extent. The
houses, also, may be expected soon to commence P.
tions. Hosiery—This being a great holiday week, Ml'
is of course but little doing in the warehouses, and to:
workmen generally are, to the extent of their 1119505, 01
joying the festive sesson.--Nottingham Journal
Hens
LEICESTER TRADE.—This week fully the setlen
amount of business for the season of the year has been
done, and as soon as the stock-takings and holidays at..
over, it may be confidently expected that a healthy so].
vity in trade will prevail.—Nottingham Journal-

ST. MARGARET'S CHURCHYARD, I"—

In the Report on Extramural Sepulture, Per fid

St. Margaret's churchyard is prejudicial to the air too
