THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

-----
BIRMINGHAM, AUG. 30.—At Gloucester and \Vol,
tester market, on the 25th, new wheat was fully 2s per
qr cheaper, but old was nominally unaltered. Barley
dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer. Fine Oats
maintained their value, but other sorts were 6d per qr
lower. Beans dull, but no decline was submitted to.
During the present week the weather has been as fine as
possible, and in consequence the transactions in the trade
have been on the most limited scale. New wheat is
offered at 2s per qr lower, and old is, without finding
buyers; barley 6d to Is; and oats were sold at a similar
reduction. Beans quite as dear. Very little passing in
peas. At this day's market there was a fair supply of
wheat, and we .reduce our quotations is per qr on old,
and 2s on new. Barley is per qr lower. Oats offering
at less money, without finding buyers to any extent.
Beans unaltered. Peas neglected.
BRISTOL, AUG. 30.—At to-day's market there was a
large supply of English wheat, and for everything, ex-
cepting best samples of new, the demand was very slow,
at a decline el from is to 2s per quarter, English, old
and new, selling at 36s to 44s per imperial quarter.
There has been little or nothing doing in foreign wheats,

quarter lower, viz., foreign white, 44s to 48s per 480 lbs;
foreign red, fine qualities, 40s to 445; ditto r, d, ordinary

LEITH Docxs.—The new docks here are progress'
ing rapidly. A great many hands are employed Ws;
vating the clay to the required depth, and forming whit
will be the wharfs. In the course of these operation;
the Tower, which stood on the west wall of the old
docks, has been removed. and the foundation•stoner
which was laid there in 1809, has been taken up. ona r the stone were two plates, engraved with the names
"d"
the authorities present when it was laid, and in a cavity
of the stone were two glass jars, one containing one °f
each of the coins of that day, and the other containing
a copy of each of the Edinburgh newspapers published
at that time. These articles
are at present in the P 00:
session of the Leith Dock Commissioners, and will very
likely be again put under some part of the wall of the
new docks now being constructed. The jars not havilt,
been opened we cannot enter minutely into a description
of their contents.
