THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGTIAM, DEC. 28.—At Glocester market, on the
23d, the wheat trade ruled dull, at rather under the cur-
rency of the previous week. At Worcester, same day,
former prices were fully maintained for all descriptions.
Barley, a slow sale, and cheaper. A fair business was
done in oats, and no further reduction submitted to. On
beans, the turn was again in favour of the buyer. Only
retail sales of peas could be effected. This week even
less than usual transactions have taken place during the
holidays, and the little which has changed hands, of
each article of the trade, about last market day's prices.
At this day's market there was a good supply of wheat,
and the sale slow, with the turn in favour of the buyer;
but we do not alter our last week's quotations.
BOSTON, DEC. 27.—We have had only a moderate
supply of wheat at market to-day, but the trade has

SPALDING, DEC. 26.—As might be expected, our
market was thinly attended, and very little grain of any
kind was showing. For dry wheats the prices were not
lower; those out of condition were not saleable. he
millers being the principal or only buyers, few of the
farmers seem anxious to realise at present low terms.
Oats sold more readily at former prices, and pld
beans also.

the trade keeps in a most inactive state; prices are again
