THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, SEPT. 6.-0 ving to the continuance of fine
weather, and the very favourable reports of the grain

BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 6.—At Gloucester market on the
Ist, new wheat was 35 and old 2s per qr lower. At
Worcester, same clay, new declined 2s and old is per

been taken for inferior barley, also for oats, had there
been buyers. Daring the present week some consider-
able sales of Relish Odessa wheat have been effected at

are offered at 61 to is per quarter under former prices,
and are only taken in limited quantities. Beans held for
quite as much money. Peas neglected. No transactions
reported in barley. The weattwr seems to have taken

limited supply of English wheat, and both old and new
were quite us dear as this day se'nnight, but foreign was
