THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, AuG. 2.—At the Bristol market to-day the
supply of English wheat was rather large, and the trade for it
was decidedly dull at a decline of fully Is. per quarter. English,
both red and white, sold at from 40s to 48s per imperial
quarter. The trade in foreign wheats, of every description,
was also dull, at a decline of is per 4801bs. Dantzie, Konings-
berg, ec:., white 48s to 52s per 4081bs; foreign red, fine
qualities, 4bs to 48s; foreign red, ordinary qualities, 40s to
43s ; ditto, ditto, hard, 37s to 40s. Flour was in plentiful
supply, and met with a slow sale at is per sack. English
seconds selling at from 32s to 40s per sack ; French superfine,
3E3 to 37s per 2081bs; United States, Ike., sweet superfine,
24s to 26s per 1961b5. All spring corn must be noted as
having been in languid demand at about previous values, viz ,
barley: English malting, 27s to 30s per imperial quarter;
Irish prepared, ditto, nominal ; foreign, 25s to 275; English
distillery and grinding, 23s to 25s ; foreign, ditto, ditto, 2Cs
to 2:3,3 per 4001bs. Oats : Welsh and Devon feed, 18s to 191
per imperial quarter ; Irish kiln dried white fine and fine and
feed, 20s to 21s per 3201bs ; Irish black, 17s 6d to 18s 6d;
foreign, none. Beans : foreign, 26s to 33s per 4801bs;
English, 30s to 36s per imperial quarter; Indian corn, none.
The Gloucester market was also tolerably supplied with
English Wheat, but the millers were very cautious buyers, and
previous rates wire barely supi: orted. There was little pass•
ing ii. Foreign, but the few sales reported were on about the
terms of last week. Barley was unaltered. Oats were of slow
sale, and full 6d per quarter cheaper. Egyptian Beans were
sc:lrce, and clean parcels were h.ld for an advance of Is per
quarter. The averages for the week have been, by the corn
inspector's weekly returns—Wheat : Bristol, 42s sd; Glouces-
ter, 48s 4d. Oats : Bristol, 17s Bd. Barley and Beans no.
returns.

BtamlNGlrAm, Auc. 2.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the 28th, the wheat trade ruled dull, but lower
prices were not submitted to for any description. Barley in
improved demand, and fully as dear. Oats in fair request at
former prices. On beans and peas the turn was in favour of
the seller. Luring' the present week some quantity of wheat
and barley have changed hands at rather under the prices pre—
viously obtained. Oats firmly held for quite as much money.
Beans meet a good consumptive sale, and are unaltered in
value. At this day's market there was a good supply from th.
farmers, and the trade ruled dull al a reduction of Is to 2a per
qr. Barley in fair request at rather lower prices. We had
very little inquiry for oats. Beans unaltered. Peas more in
demand.

EXTRAORDINARY FECUNDITY.—In the second week
in March last, a ewe belonging to Mr. John Pretty, of
Empingham, gave birth to a lamb, which lived only
three days; and on the 27th of June, the same ewe
brought forth another lamb. The second lamb must
therefore have been conceived seven weeks before the
first was yeaned.—Stamford Mercury.
