THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, JULY 26.—At Gloucester market on the
23d wheat was fully Is per quarter cheaper. At Worcester,
same day, lower prices were not generally submitted to. Barley
unaltered. Oats maintained their value, and on beans and
peas the turn was in favour of the seller. This week the wet
weather has given firmness to the trade, and some wheat has
changed hands at rates which could not previously be obtained.
Heavy grinding barley inquired for, and but little offering.
Our stocks of oats being reduced very low, they are taken for
consumption at quite as high rates. Beans generally held for
an advance, with which buyers will not comply. No transac-
tions reported in peas. At this day's market there was a large
supply of wheat from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull at
the currency of this day se'nnight. We had a fair demand for
heavy grinding barley. Oats rather dearer. Beans unaltered.
Peas inquired for, and few offering.
BRISTOL, JULY 26.—The weather for the last few days has
been broken, and with occasional heavy rains. Should these
continue, of which there is every present appearance, it might
prove very prejudicial to wheat and potatoes, though benefi-
cial to barley, oats, and other spring crops generally. In the
interval of this day week sales of wheat have been at a depres-
sion of Is to 2s per quarter, but which is to-day fully re-
gained, and we note both English and foreign, with moderate
1 supplies, very firm at the prices of this day se'nnight. At
this day's market English new wheat fetched 40s to 48s per
imperial quarter ; foreign wheat white, 50s to 53s per 4801hs;
ditto, red,fine qualities, 46s to 48s ; ditto, ordinary, 4is to 445;
ditto, hard, 87s to 40s. Flour is in better sale than for some
weeks past, and prices well supported. English seconds, 333
to 35s per sack; American, sweet, 24s to 26s per barrel. In
barley, oats, beans, and peas we have but little passing.
Barley, English malting, 27s to 30s per imperial quarter;
ditto, ,and foreign grinding, 21s to 25s per 400 lb ; oats,
Devon and Welch 18s to 19* per imperial quarter ; Irish,

per imperial quarter ; beans, English, 30s to 363 per imperial
quarter ; foreign, 263 6d to 30s per 4801 b. The arrivals for

DEaBY, JULY 24.—We had a good fair supply of fat beasts
to-day. Those from the North were but comparatively few ;
the number of animals from Rotherham, and other parts of
Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Leicestershire were of a fair pro-
portion, but the demand was exceedingly fiat, and very high
prices were asked, in some instances more than 6d per lb ; the
number left on hand was very considerable, entirely owing to
the high price which was asked for them. The supply of shep
and lambs was tolerably good, with little or no alteration in the
price. Fat and store calves were plentiful. There were
several lots of bacon and porket pigs shown in the market
which appeared to be in good request for the season. Beef, 5d
to 51d ; mutton, 4!ld to 5d ; lambs, 17s to 21s ; veal, 4d to 5d
