GLOUCESTER, AUG. 18.—The corn market is at a low
ebb. At last market day a decline of is to 2s per qr had
to be submitted to in order to eff'ct sales of English
wheat; and to day the reduction is steadily maintained.
The weather has been fine during the last three days,
although the storms of the beginning of the week
threatened to impede the harvest operations. Some
breadth of wheat has been cut, though less than in some
adjoining counties, the wheat ripening very irregularly.
To-day English wheat sold at from 16s to 18s per bag,
some realizing 15s only. Foreign, according to quality
and description, sold at 4s 8d to 5s 8d per bushel. Malt-
ing barley (English), 28s per quarter; and Irish, 26s to
275; grinding quality, 245. English oats About 27s per
quarter, and Irish samples about 20s. For beans a
steady sale at 15s to 163 per bag for English, and 12s for
foreign. Good boiling peas 5s to 5s 6d per bushel, and
gray 3s 6d to 4s per bushel.
WORCESTER, AUG. 18.—The weather being fine to-
day, and the reports of the harvest operations favourable,
business was exceedingly flat in our corn market, and
millers purchased only for immediate use in the antici-
pation of a fall in prices. The highest price for old
white wheat to day was 19s per bag, but the transactions
were generally considered below that sum, and 17s to 18s
was the current piice. Foreign varied from 5s to 6s per
bushel. Grinding qualities of barley were worth about
3s 4d per bushel, and making 3s 6d; while the average
price of malt was 8s 4d per bushel. English oats 33. 6d
to 4s per bushel; Irish, 3s per bushel, outside price.
English beans, 15s to 15s 6d per bag; foreig❑ 123 to 14s.
Grey peas. 4i, and boilers 4s 6d per bushel. New rye
averaged 4s 9d, with little offered, and the market gene-
rally dull.

GLAsoow, Ana. 16.—At our market to-day the
numbers were—oxen, 506 ; sheep, 1,727 ; lambs, 4,787.
The market to-clay was pretty well supplied with cattle
of all kinds, and prices ruled a shade higher than last
week. Best ox beet from 48s to 50s per cwt., middling
and inferior beasts from 40s to 44s per do., sinking the
offal; best wether mutton Sid per lb, second quality
from 4d to 4id per do., lambs from 35 to 14s per head,
according to quality. Sheep and lambs all sold. A few
cattle turned out unsold.

CHELMSFORD, Aug. 17.—There were to-day a few
samples of new wheat, in fine condition, the top price made
for the best white being 53s per quarter; the highest for
new red was 445. Old wheat was little inquired for, and
unaltered in value from last week's quotations. Peas were
Is per quarter cheaper. All else without variation.
