THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, MAT 17.—We have an increased supply of
wheat here to-day, and a reduction of Is per quarter on fresh
parcels induces a fair extent of business. Barley now meets
with lesss attention. Oats and shelling are held for full prices.
Beans maintain their previous value.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAT 17.—The demand is
steady, but not active, and prices are about supported, but no
advance can be quoted ; the transactions of the week are un-
important, arising in a great measure from the small supply on
show—the continuance of easterly winds keeping out the ves-
sels now due. The refined market is
active, and rather
dearer.—Bristol Mercury.
LivitarooL, MAY 17. The temperature has become
milder the last day or two, which is now very desirable for the
backward vegetation. There was a slender attendance of
buyers of wheat and flour at this morning's market, and busi-
ness proceeded in quite a retail way, at similar prices to those
paid last Tuesday. Oats and barley were unaltered in value,
but Egyptian beans being scarcer, improved I s per quarter.
There was a good demand for Indian corn for Ireland, at an ad-
vance of 6d per quarter ; 32s 6d per 4801bs was paid for Ame-
rican yellow cern.
EXETER, MAY 17. Cattle Market—There was, of course,
but a small supply of stock driven in to-day, although more
go
than is sometimes the case—the market-day following the
g
fair. Pannier—A large supply of. poultry, but prices remain
chickens, 35 to 41 6d do. ;
fowls, 3s 6d to 5s ditto ; galinas, 5s ditto ; butter, 9d to 10d
per lb ; eggs, 24 for Is. Vegetables—Gooseberries, 6d per
ss6d to unaltered
6s fr6odm
per last
week,oupl ; spring chickens,
5s to 7s each ; Ducklings
quart ; rhubarb 2d per lb ; cucumbers, 6d to Is 6d per brace;
asparagus is to 4s per bundle ; new potatoes, Is to Is 6d per
c
lb ; lettuces, ld each; radishes, 4to 6 bundles per ld; cab-
bages, ld to 2d each ; potatoes, Is to Is 44 per score. Corn
Exchange—The market to-day has been more animated. The
stand which the growers made last week for, an advance hav-
ing proved successful, the London and provincial markets
being all higher, and an advance having taken place in the
Baltic ports, and on the continent generally, have all contri-
buted to give an increased tone of firmness to the market to-
day. This feeling has however tended ,to check business, the
millers generally not acceding to the terms offered. Up to
one o'clock but few parcels have changed hands at from 51 6d
to 5s 9d per bushel for the best samples, but the farmers gene-
rally hold out for 6s. Some foreign wheat has been offered
to-day, hard Russian at 36s 6d per quarter of 601bs to the
bushel. This wheat is an inferior sort, unfit in itself for
mealing, but useful in damp seasons for mixing with English
wheat. Polish Odessa of the same weight, was also offered
at 413 6d per quarter, delivered in Exeter. Barley, 3s per
bushel ; oats, 2s to 212 d. Fine flour, 29s to 31s per sack of
2801bs.
NEWBURY, MAY 16.--To-day's market is only moderately
supplied with wheat. The reported dulness at Mark-lane in-
fluenced our trade ; and although we do not note the market
cheaper, yet with difficulty could the advanced rates of last
week be realised. Barley, moderate supply, and in fair de-
mand, at rather improved rates. Beans, short supply, and Is
to 2s per quarter dearer. Peas and oats, moderate supply, and
about Is per quarter higher than last week.
