THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

Bartmstwirmtc, MAY 10.—At Gloucester market on the
sth. the wheat trade ruled dull, at the currency of the previous
week. At Worcester, same day, a reduction of is per quarter
was submitted to on all descriptions. Barley unaltered in
value, with very little doing therein. Oats firmly maintained
their value. Beans and peas held for quite as much money,
with little doing in either. This week the weather has again
become cold, which has caused greater firmness in the trade,
and the sales reported in wheat are on about the same terms as
previously. A few parcels of barley have been taken for
Wales, at 22s to 245 per 4001bs, at Gloucester, according to
quality. On oats the turn is in favour of the seller, and our
stocks are reduced very low. English and Irish beans rather
dearer, but no improvement can be realised in Egyptian.
Nothing worth notice passing in peas. At this day's market
there was a fair supply of wheat, and the trade ruled dull at a
reduction of is per quarter on all kinds. In barley there was

market continued flat for both English and Foreign, and al-
though &decline of Is per quarter would generally be acceded
to, buyers operate with great caution. Malting barley has
been more inquired for, and we believe there is not a bushel
of foreign in the port in first hands ; grinding parcels attract
rather more attention, without leading to business of any
moment. The averages, by the Corn Inspector's weekly re-
turns, have been—Wheat, Bristol, 42s 7(1; Gloucester, 445.

Dean; MAY 8. Our market was but thinly supplied
with beasts to-day, although the greater part were, with few
exceptions, of the best quality. Mo,t of the beasts were in the
hands ofjobbers, some of them having been brought a corsider-
able distance to be disposed or. This eivden.ly shows that our
market is higher in price than in any of the neighbouring ones,
and there is no doubt but that the worst time has been expe-
rienced, for feeders and graziers. for some months to come.
