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 new wheat
fetched from 46s to 52s per imperial quarter; foreign
white, 46s to 52a per 4801 b; ditto, red, extra fine quaii•
ties. 44s to 46s per ditto; ditto fine quality, 41s to 44s
per ditto; ditto. ordinary ditto, 38s to 40s per ditto; hard,

per barrel dearer; English seconds, 33s to 35s per sack;
American, &c , sweet, 22s 6d to 23s 6d per barrel. Good
seed barley is fully as high, while oats only slowly bring
previous prices. Barley, English and foreign grinding,

BIRMINGHAM, AUG 19. At Gloucester market, on
the 14th, wheat advanced s per uarter; at Worcester
the same day an improvement q
of 5s was realised.
Barley, beans, and peas, all 6d to is per quarter dearer.
O its ;old more freely, at former prices. During the
present week the sales eft-eted 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. Oafs held for rather more
money, which can only be obtain, d for the finest quali-
ties. At this cla)'a 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 is per quarter
above the currency of this day se'neight. Oa oats the
turn ivas in favour of the seller, but 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 mule to our stock; vett the Clyde
the supplies comprised 4,610 quarters of wheat from
Alelaudria, 778 quarters of wheat and 2,956 barrels of
flour from Montreal, 1,260 quarters of oats from Arch-
angel; viti 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 aro considered uninjured, and well
promising as regards quality and quantity, provided the
weather now take up, of which there is every appear-
ance. 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 tied flour, at au 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 oat-
meal the turn in buyer's favour. Beans and peas un-
changed. Indian corn
