THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

Bats Tot., Atm. 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 ls. per quarter. English,
both red and white, sold at from 40s to 4Ss per imperial
quarter. The trade in foreign wheats, of every description,
was also dull, at a decline of Is per 4801bs. Dantzic, Koningl-
berg, &c., white 48s to 52s per 4081bs; foreign red, fine
qualities, 45s 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
seconas selling at from 32s to 40s per sack; French superfine,
as to 37s per 2081bs ; United States, &c., sweet superfine,
24s to 26s per 1961b5. All spring corn must he noted as
having been in langu'd 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, 201
to 23s per 4001bs. Oats : Welsh and Devon feed, 18s to 191

English, 30s to 36s per imperial quarter; Indian corn, none.
The Gloucester market was also tolerably supplied with
English Wheat, bat the millers were very cautious buyers, and
previ,,us rates wt re barely supported. There was little pass'
ing i i Foreign, but the few sales reported were on about the
lerms of last week. Barley was unaltered. Oats were of slow
sale, awl full 6d per quarter cheaper. Egyptian Beans were
scarce, and clean parcels were ht ld for an advance of Is per
qua, ter. The averages for the week have been, by the cora
inspec or's weekly returns—Wheat : Bristol, 42s sd; Gloucer
ter, 48s 4d. Oats : Bristol, 17s ad. Barley and Beans 111
returns.

BIRMINGHAM, Aua. 2.-. At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the 28th, the wheat trade ruled dull, but lower
prices were not submitted to fur any description. Barley la
improved demand, i,nd fully as dear. Oats in fair request at
former prices. On beans and peas the turn was in favour of
the seller. During 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 monist
Beans meet a good consumptive sale, and are unaltered 1°
value. At this day's market there was a good supply from-th°
farmers, at:d he trade ruled dull at a reduction of is to 2e poi
qr. Barley in fair request at rather lower prices. We bao
very little inquiry for oats. Beans unaltered. Peas more ill
demand.
