THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, AUG. 23.—We have a small arrival of
wheat, and moderate of other articles. We report a slow
demand for wheat, the millers being disposed to purchase
only for immediate wants at last week's rates. No
change in the value of beans, oats, or other articles.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 23.—At this morning's market
there was a thin attendance of town and country dealers,
who purchased very sparingly of wheat at the full prices
of Tuesday. Flour, both sack and barrel, brought late
rates. Oats and oatmeal in limited demand, without
change in value ; the same remark applies to barley,
beans, and peas. Indian corn met a good demand at an
advance of 6d to is per quarter; fine yellow being held
firmly at 27s 6d per 4801bs.
NEW3URY, Auo. 22.—The weather during the last
two days has been wet, which has quite interrupted har-
vest operations. The previously few fin© days enabled a
good deal of wheat to be secured in fine condition, and
to-day we have a considerable quantity of new wheat in
offer, which, although not so fine in quality and condition
as last year's crop, is better than could be expected from
the blighted aspect presented in the field. The weight
♦aries from 60 to 641 b per bushel, but the yield is badly
spoken of. The trade to-day has been dull, at about Is
per quarter decline from last week. In spring corn but
little passing, at unaltered rates.
EXETER, Auo. 23.—Pork Carcases—A very small
supply, but as it was all of very good quality, prices
ranged high, from 8s to 8s 9d per score. Cattle Market
—The supply has been small to-day, especially of beasts,
caused probably by Crediton fair having been held on
Wednesday. Good beef sold at 7s 91 to 8s per score;
in some instances 8e 3d to 8s 6d was made for very good
articles. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s 6d to 7s each; geese, 5s
to Gs ditto; ducks, 3s Gd to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6d
to 4s 6d ditto; roasters, 3s Gd to 4s 6d each; butter, 9d
to 101 per lb; eggs, 16 to 18 for Is. Corn Exchange—
The attendance to-day has been again small, farmers
being still busy harvesting. Prices have rather receded
the ruling figure for the best warranted old wheat has
been 6s per bushel, although a penny or twopence more
has in some cases been obtained. New wheat has sold
at 5s 6:1 to 5s 9d per bushel. The quotations for barley
must be considered nominal, at 3i to 3s 3d per bushel.
Old oats, 24 3d to 2s 5d per bushel; new ditto 2s to
23 Id ditto. The quotations for fine flour are rather
wide, ranging from 32s to 35s per sack, although we
have heard of no actual dealings at the latter figure.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 23 The offices have
been cleared of all the old drawn sugars, and every new
parcel that has been brought forward has &so found a
ready sale, at gradually improving prices. The transac-
tions ofjhe week, including foreign, are to a large ex-
tent. The refined market is very lively, and higher
rates are again freely paid for all goods ready for deli-
very. Rum is in fair demand.—Bristol Mercury.
BANGOR, AUG. 23.—There was a good attendance at
our market to-day. Prices were the tura is favour of
