THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 25.—At Gloucester and Worces-
ter market, on the 20th, the wheat trade ruled dull at
rather over the currency of the previous week. Barley
is improved in demand, and fully as dear. Oats scarcely
maintained the currency of that day se'nnight. Beans
and peas rather dearer. During the present week the
transactions in the trade have been on a very limited
scale, and to have effected sales a reduction on wheat
must have been submitted to; but holders being gene-
rally firm, little has changed hands. Barley nominally
unaltered. Oats are taken in retail at former prices, and
the same remark applies to beans and peas. At this
day's market there was a fair supply of wheat from the
farmers, and the trade ruled dull at a decline of Is per

quarter. On Barley the turn was in favour of the buyer.
Oats maintained their value. Beans realised quite as
much money, with a more limited demand.

DERBY, OCT. 23.—There was but a limited supply of
fat beasts to day. The attendance of purchasers was
considerably less than usual, and there appeared but
little doing throughout the morning. The number of
sheep was not so large as it has been for many preceding
weeks, but the supply was more than equal to the de-
mand. There was a great falling off in the supply of fat
pigs, which had a tendency to advance the price. Fat

OF other grain they have been insignificant. At Grange-
mouth only 1,450 quarters of wheat and 20 quarters of
peas, have been reported from abroad. A lair business
was done in wheat and flour, fine qualities of which be-
coming rather scarce, realised fully last Wednesday's
rates. Other articles experienced a moderate consump-
live demand. This day's market was thinly attended,
and the sales effected were in retail, without quotable
change in value.
