THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 18 —At Gloucester market on the
15th wheat firmly maintained the currency of the pre-
vious els. At ‘Vorcester, same day, the trade ruled
dull, but lower prices were not submitted to. Barley
nominally unaltered, with very little doing in any de-
scription. Oats rather lower, and only retail parcels
could be disposed of. For the few beans and peas sold,
about former rates were realised. During the present
week the transactions in corn have again been on a most
limited scale, but holders are generally firm. Barley
continues to be pressed for sale. Oats in rather better
demand. Brans is per quarter lower. Peas altogether
neglected. At this day's market there was a fair sup-
ply of wheat, which found buyers at the currency of this
day se'nnight. More doing in barley, at former prices.
Oats about 6d per quarter lower, with a free sale for fine
q• uali'ies Beans is per quarter lower. Peas entirely
neglected.
BOSTON, JAN. 17.—We have been well supplied with
wheat at our market to-day and fine dry samples sup-
ported the rates of this day week; other sorts were is
lower. Beans and oats exceedingly dull, and both are
cheaper. Wheat, red 37s to 455, white 48s; oats 12s

SI'ALDING, JAN. 16.—sat this day's market the trade
was skew for all kinds of grain. The condition of the
wheat is touch affected by the damp weather, and few
samples of the new are in grinding condition. In prices
no alteration. 17st red wheat 37s to 40s, 17Ist 40s to
435, 18st 41s to 44S ; white Is more money than red ;

MARKET EASEN, JAN. 16.—There was not much
business done iii the wheat trade, and that was a little
under last week's quotations. Barley stationary. Oats
on the decline. There are two coal-yards open for busi-
ness at this place, and four more are talked of ; this will
no doubt increase our corn markets, as the farmers can
take coals and cake as back carriage. Return of sales

45s let); oats, 188 qrs, 1341 19s (aver. 14s 4kd).
LOUTH, JAN. 17.—We have no particular change to
r otiee in the corn trade to-day; prices for all descrip-
tions were much the same as last week. Many samples
were out of condition, and consequently difficult to sell;
but all prime corn fully maintained last quotations.

beans, 34 to 38s per quarter..

granary to await liberation on the Ist proximo. The
supplies of home-grown barley have been considerably
larger than for some time past; with other articles We,
continue to be moderately provided. The dull state of
the trade has not varied, and both sellers and buyers
app, ar inclined to delay operations until the new law
takes effect. At this dal's market there was a fair at"
tendat.ce. Wheat and flour were not much dealt in, and
prices have to be written nominally the same as last
