THE COUNTR lr MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, MAacu s.—The supplies this week are only
limited. There is not so much business passing in wheat as
on this day se'nnight, but that day's prices are generally main-
tained. Good Englis barley makes full prices, and not much
offering. Oats and shelling are quite as dear. In beans and
other articles no change.

BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 4.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 28th, there was a full supply of English
wheat, and the trade ruled dull; but the turn in price was in
favour of the seller. Barley lid per quarter lower. Outs
dull, and rather cheaper. Beans maintaine•l their value.
Peas unaltered. During the present week there has again
been a limited sale for wheat ; but as holders are firm, former
prizes have been obtained on the few transactions reported.
Barley fully as dear. The supply of beans i, barely equal to
the demand. Oats taken in limited quantities, at our quota-
tions. At this day's market the trade ruled dull, and to make
progress rather lower prices had to be submitted to ; but we
make no alteration in our quotations. Barley Gd to is per
quarter cheaper. Oats nominally unaltered. Beans is per
quarter dearer. Peas realised the currency of this day
se'nnight.
NEwBURY, MARCH 4.—At to-day's market we had a
nsual supply of wheat, and of very good quality; but the
trade was very dull at last week's prices. Barley, moderate
supply and a free sale at fully the rates of last week. Beans,
peas, arid oats are without any alteration in value, and very
little doing.
GLASGOW, MARCH 4.—With the exception of a few
cargoes of foreign wheat, arrivals have been light during the
past fortnight. The trade has been quiet, and withoutusinaprgee.
