THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

Mamma'um, MARCH 15.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 10th, wheat ruled about is per quarter under
the currency of the previous week, both for English and foreign,
with an increased supply of the former. Barley nominally un-
altered, but the sale was very slow. Oats maintained their
value, with a fair sale for fine qualities. In beans very little
doing. For peas we had no inquiry. During the present week
our millers would only buy at a reduction of 2s per quarter;
consequently, very little wheat has changed hands. To effect
sales lower prices have been submitted to for barley. Beans and
oats are taken in retail at former prices. Peas again lower.
At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat from the
farmers, and the trade ruled dull at a reduction of is per quar-
ter on all descriptions. Barley unaltered, with rather more sale
for fine qualities. Oats again 6d per quarter lower. In beans
and peas nothing passing worth notice.
Balszon, MARCH 15.—The market was moderately sup-
plied with English wheats, and really good samples met with a
fair sale at about the currencies of this day se'nnight. Mid-
dling and inferior qualities were, however, neglected, and could
only be cleared at prices from is to 2s lower than those of
last week's; market. English new must be quoted from 38s
to 44s per imperial quarter. The arrivals of foreign this
week have been of less magnitude, and, although the demand
is brisk, yet most of the parcels on shipboard have been cleared
at about the last currencies. Foreign white must be quoted
47s to 50s per 4801bs; foreign red (fine qualities), 44s to 46s
per ditto; foreign red, ordinary qualities, 40s to 43s per
