THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, SEPT. 6.—Owing to the continuance of fine
weather, and the very favourable reports of the grain
crops, and but few and partial complaints of disease in
the potatoes, our markets still evince great inactivity
and continued decline in values. Our quotations to-day
for wheat, both old and new, are is to 2. per quarter
lower. At this day's market English old and new wheat
fetched from 36s to 40• per imperial quarter; foreign
white, 38s to 408 per 4801 b; ditto, red, 36s to 38s; ditto,
hard, 32s to 345. Barley, oats, and beans are each 151
per quarter lower. English malting, 27s to 305 per im•
perial quarter; foreign, 25. to 275; English grinding
and distillery, 23. to 255; foreign ditto, 20. to 22s per
4001 b; oats, Welsh and Devon, 16. to 17s per imperial
quarter; Irish, 181 to 20. per 3201 h; ditto black, 16s to
17s per imperial quarter; foreign, none; beans, foreign,

BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 6.—At Gloucester market on the
Ist, new wheat was 3s and old 2s per qr lower. At
Worcester, same day, new declined 2s and old is per
quarter. Beans and peas, also heavy; barley unaltered,
with little doing in either. Less money would have
been taken for interior barley, also for oats, had there
been buyers. During the present week some consider-
Able sales of Polish Odessa wheat have been effected at
5s per 621bs, being a reduction of is per quarter. Oats
Are offered at 61 to is per quarter under former prices,
and are only taken in limited quantities. Beans held for
quite as much money. Peas neglected. No transactions
reported in barley. The weather seems to have taken
up fine and fair. At this day's market there was a
limited supply of English wheat, and both old and new
were quite as dear as this day se'nnight, but foreign was
again Is per quarter cheaper. Oats 61 and barley is
per quarter lower. Beans maintained their value. On
peas, the turn was in favour of the buyer.

lambs was tolerably good, but the sales were slow, and
the demand for all kinds of sheep was but small. There
were but few fat calves, which were only in moderate
request. The number of fat pigs was large for the
season of the year, which remain unaltered in price.

the United States, the arrivals from all quarters have
been unimportant. The trade was inactive throughout
the week, yet fine qualities of wheat and flour very nearly
maintained last Wednesday's rates; secondary descrip-
dons, as well as most other articles, were easier to pur-
chase. This day's market was thinly attended. Wheat
and flour, although offering at a decline of 6d per boll or
barrel, were a slow sale. Barley unaltered. Oats and
oatmeal hung heavily on hand, at a reduction of 6d per
boll or load respectively. Beans and peas the turn
cheaper. Indian corn hardly inquired after.
