THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

- - - - -
BIRMINGLIAX, OCT. 9.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the 4th wheat of all descriptions was about
Is per qr. higher; the supply of English small, and sale
Blow. Barley maintained its value. For oats there was
a good demand, at a reduction of 6d to is per qr. There
was less inquiry for beans. Peas held for a further ad-
vance of Is per qr. During the present week an im-
provement of is per qr. has taken place in the value of
English wheat. Barley more in request. W. e have a
fair consumptive sale for oats at our quotations. The
turn on beans is in favour of the seller, and old English
are become very scarce. Not so much doing in peas.
There was but a moderate supply of English wheat at
market to-day, and it sold at an advance of is per or;
but this did not extend to foreign. Fine barley rather
dearer, secondary neglected. Oats found buyers at the
currency of this day se'nnight. Beaus rather cheaper.
Peas fully as dear.

Of fat beasts to-day was tolerably good, with a fair de-

of,wheat and barrel flour showed great firmness, and

had the tarn of prices in their favour. Barley and white
peas pertic;pated ill The upward tendency. This day's
market was moderately well attended. Wheat and flour
were more inquired at ter, and have to be written 3d to
6d dearer per boll or barrel respectively. Barley, oats,
