THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, DEC. 24.

The market was not so fully attended to-day as usual;
this was owing to other markets being held, We lnesday
being Christmas-day. The supply of wheat was small,
but there appeared little or no demand for it; the same
may be written of barley; and all kinds of wheat and
barley partook of the decline of London. In other
articles no change to note.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—We
have had a very quiet week in every branch of the
trade, with a tendency towards decline in prices. The
threatening of frost has disappeared, and arrivals from
abroad continue in some excess of consumptive demand.
There was a good show of wheat from our own farmers
to-day; the condition only middling. Millers were able
to supply their wants on easier terms than last week
even for best dry samples, while for inferior Is to 2s less
money bad to be taken. Very little, and that only
retail, business doing in foreign. The bulk of the pre-
sent arrival goes to granary. Spring corn of all kinds
very dull sale, and in exceedingly limited demand. Lin-
seed very firm, and a good sale for cakes. Rapeseed
fully supports our quotations, and rape cakes are in im-
proved demand.,
