THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, AUG. 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 now wheat
fetched from 46s to 52s per imperial quarter; foreign

Oats sold more freely, at former prices. During the
present week the sales effected in wheat have bron at
seureay so high rates ES at the close of Thursday's
market. Barley 13 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 were Is per quarter higher for red, and
2s for white. Barley sold slowly at 13 per quarter
above the currency of this day so'nnight. On oats the
turn was in favour of the seller, bat we make no alter-
ation in our quotations. Beans and peas both scarce and
dearer.
GLASGOW, AUG. 18.—Coastwise and from Ireland
little addition has been made to our stock; via the Clyde
the supplies comprised 4,610 quarters of wheat from
Alexandria, 778 quarters o wheat and 2,956 barrels of
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 Vests up, of whioh there is every appear-
mica. 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 anti oat.
meal the turn in buyer's favour. Beans and peas un-
changed. Indian corn neglected.
