THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
BIR3IINGIIA3f, FEE. Is.—During the present week, owirg
to the decline in London and Liverpool, our millers will not
buy, except at lower rate. ; consequently very little wheat has
changed hands, holders being generally firm. Rather more in-
quiry for barley. Fine oats meet a fair sale, at quite as much
money, but secondary qualities are much neglected. Beans
held for firmer prices. At this day's market, although the
supply of wheat from the farmers was short, the trade ruled
dull, a: a reduction of is per qr. Barley held for last week's
eurielley, '•,,,,EiTess could however he made in sales.
Os mai,.tained theta value, with but little itiguit 3. On beans
the turn was again in favour of the buyer. In peas nothing
doing worth notice.

BRISTOL, FEB l6.—The market has been largely supplied
with Er.glish whea's, barley. as well as coastwise and foreign;
