THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, JAN. 6.—There was a
good supply to-day of fa. bf ha!id, and higher prices asked
for them; the best things were in good demand, and most
of the animate were disposed of. The sheep pens were
well filled with sheep, and the bast quality of mutton
was readily sold. The supely of fat pigs was large, but
the demand flat. Few calves were offered for sale.
Beef, large, the demand was equally flat; calves,
plentiful. Beef, 4id to 5d ; mutton, Sid to 6id;
veal, 5d to sid per lb; pigs, 7s to 7s 3d per score;

BIRMINGHAM, Jeer. B.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 3d, wheat advanced fully Is per quarter;
and fine barley realised a similar improvement. Oats
unaltered in value, with little doing. Beans and peas
are quite as dear, and rather more inquired for. During
the present week few transactions in wheat are re-
ported; but on the sales made is per quarter more
money was obtained. Barley held for a similar rise,
but only complied with in partial instances. More doing
in oats, at former prices. The stock of Egyptian and
French beans at Gloucester is reduced very low, and the
turn on both is in favour of the seller. At this day's
market there was a large supply of English wheat, and
the trade ruled dull at is per quarter over the currency
of this day se nnight. Barley held for a similar ;rise.
Oats unaltered, with no life in the trade. Egyptian and
French beans sold for rather more money. English new
were is per quarter lower. Peas could only be sold by
submitting to a reduction.
