THE COUN 'FRI MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 7.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the 2d wheat firmly maintained the currency
of the previous week. Barley unaltered in value, but
less in request. Old oats qaite as dear, but new were
61 per quarter lower. No advance could be obtained on
beans or peas. During the present week a considerable
quantity of foreign wheat has changed hands, at an
advance of 6d to Is per quarter, but this improvement
has not extended to English. Few transactions are re-
ported in barley. Oats more in request, and old aro the
turn dearer. The high price of beans and peas has les-
sened the sale. At this day's market there was again a
good supply of wheat; new was is per quarter dearer,
but this improvement did not extend to old of any de-
scription. Heavy barley a good deal inquired for, light
neglected. Not much doing in oats. Beans and peat;
taken in limited quantities at former prices.
GLASGOW, OCT. 6.—Coastwise the supplies consisted
of 1,724 quarters of barley and 560 sacks of flour; froze
Ireland, of 384 quarters of ba-ley, 3,008 quarters of oats,
575 quarters of beans, and 434 loads of oatmeal; from
abroad, vit the Clyde, of 1,200 quarters of wheat, 2,100
quarters of barley, and 1,170 quarters of beans from
Egypt; and, vie/ Grangemouth, of 1,484 quarters of
wheat, and 42 quarters of peas from the continent•
Wheat and flour were in good demand during the week,
at a furtner improvement in value, owing to the reduced
stock of useful qualities (the arrivals from European
ports during the lust five weeks having fallen short of
2,000 quarters), in combination, perhaps, with the large
influx of gold, which now apparently begins to tell en
the Nalue of the most commodities. All other articles
in the trade ruled in favour of the seller. This day's
market was well attended by town and country buyer?.
Wheat and flour of prime quality were a fair sale, at se
advance of 6d to is per bolt, and 6d per barrel; inferior
descriptions were less readily disposed of. Barley
realised the extreme rates of last week's currency. Oats,
oatmeal, beans, and peas, sold a little dearer. Egyptian
beans unaltered.
