THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, 19.—The weather is still unsettled,
and much rain has fallen at intervals since out last. Re-
ports of the grain crops and harvest, as also of potatoes,
are very unsatisfactory, hence old wheat, both English
and foreign, is held for a further advance of 2s to 3s per
quarter. At this day's market English new wheat
fetched from 46s to 52s per imperial quarter; foreign
white, 463 to 523 per 4. 801 b; ditto, red, extra fine quali-

Barley, beans, and peas, all 6d to 18 per quarter dearer.
Oats sold more freely, at formey prices. During the
present week the sales effected in wheat have been at
scarcely so high rates as at the close of Thursday's
market. Barley Is per quarter higher. Beans and peas
a good deal inquired for. Oats held for rather more
money, which can only be obtained for the finest quali-
ties. At this day's market there was a large supply of
wheat, for which much higher prices were asked, but no
progress could be made at any rise, except for the finest
qualities, which wore is per quarter higher for red, and
2s for white. Barley sold slowly

turn was in favour of the seller, but we make no alter-
ation in our quotations. Beans and peas both scarce and

dearer.

flour from Montreal, 1,260 quarters of oats from Arch-
angel; via Grangemouth, 2,328 quarters of wheat, 165
quarters of barley, and 530 quarters of oats from the
Continent. We have had heavy showers of rain during
the week, yet in this neighbourhood and throughout
Ayrshire the crops are considered uninjured, and well
promising as regards quality and quantity, provided the
weather now take up, of which there is every appear.
ante. Less is heard of the potato disease, which in
some localities seems more virulent than in others. A
fair business occurred during the week, principally in
wheat and flour, at an advance of 6d per boll and barrel
respectively. This day's market was moderately well
attended. Wheat and flour were a retail sale at the
above improvement. Barley unaltered. Oats and eat_
meal the turn in buyer's favour. Beans and peas un-
changed. Indian corn neglected.
