THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

DEZBY, JULY 10.—The number and quality of fat beasts
to-day was decidedly good, and the attendance of town and
country buyers was equally large, but we decidedly thought
that fat things did not realise quite so much as on the preced-
ing market, yet all the beasts were not disposed of. The
supply of fat sheep was somewhat limited when compared to
some markets, yet the supply was more than equal to the de-
mand. Fat lambs were plentiful, but the demand was flat ;
fat pigs about the average ; and fat calves were a complete
drug. Beef. scl to bid ; mutton, 41d to 5d ; lambs, 17s to
21s ; pigs, 8s 6d to 8s 9d per score. Rough fat, 3s 6:1 per
stone of 141bs. Hides, 1111 d per lb ; calf skins, 2d to 31,,,A
per lb.— Head of cattle on sale :—Beagts, 130 ; sheep and
lambs, 406 ; store calves, 50 ; fat calves, 80.
BIRMINGHAM, JULY 111.—At Gloucester market on the
7th, wheat maintained the currency of the previous week. At
Worcester, same day, an advance of fully is per quarter was
obtained on all descriptions. Barley in improved demand.
Oats unaltered in value. Beans rather higher. No transac-
tions reported in peas. During the present week, although
the weather has been as fine as possible for the growing crops,
we have had a free sale for wheat, with the turn in favour o'
the seller. Very little doing in barley. Oats taken to a fair
readilyher.

GLASGOW, JULY 11.—Two cargoes of Black Sea wheat,
about 5,560 barrels of four, 1.021 quarters of peas, and 707
quarters of Indisn corn constitute our foreign arrivals. Coast-
wise and from Ireland the supplies cont•nue light, whilst only
about 134 quarters of wheat, 180 quarters of barley, 210
quarters of beans, and 660 quarters of peas reached Grange •
isiouth from abroad. The tiade has been pretty lively for the
last eight days, aid the inquiry for wheat included the better as
well as secondary descriptions, for which there was a
good demand, at rates exceeding those of last Wednesday.
Fair qualities of bat rel and sack four participated in a ready
sale, at a slight improvement; and, with the exception of Indian
corn, for which tke inquiry has slackened, the value of every
article ruled in favour of the seller. This day's market was
well attend dby town and country buyers. Wheat met a fair
inquiry, but being held at an advance of 6d to Is per 2 :olbs.,
its side was not brisk. Flour Is. dearer per sack. Oats im-
proved 6.1 per 264Ibs' and oatmeal 6d to is per 28tlbs in
value. Barley, rye, beans, and peas have to be written 6d
dearer per boll.
