THE COUNTRY MAKKETS

BIRMINGHAM, APRIL I7.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 12th, the wheat trade ruled dull, and no pro•
gress could be: made in sales of any description, without sub'
mitting to a reduction of 6d to Is per quarter. Barley in de-
mand, and fully as dear. On eats, the turn was in favour of
the seller. But little passing in beans or peas, but both were
held for fully as much money. During the present week the
transactions in wheat have been limited, and chiefly in flee
qualities, which have found buyers at about previous rater'
Grinding barley continues scarce, but is no dearer. Beans
have met a slow sale, with the turn in favour of the buyer.
Peas neglected. At this day's market there was a short sur
ply of English wheat, yet the trade ruled dull at the currencl
of this day se'isnight ; very little doing in foreign, but lower
prices were not submitted to for any description. Barley un'
altered in value, and grinding continues scarce, but less in r"
quest. Oats 6d per quarter dearer, which was readily paid oa
secondary qualities. Beans maintained their value, with rather
more demand for Egyptian. We had a few speculative in'
inquiries for peas.

plaint of long standing cured by Holloway's Pills.— Serge.°
Wilton, late of the Honourable East India Company
and for nearly 25 years employed on the Bengal establishment'
suffered most intensely from an affection of the liver, inc4l
tion, and sickness of the stomach, which appeared to be rapuut
undermining his constitution, notwithstanding the treatmeno
of some of the most eminent of the medical profession. v.,
his return to this country he was advised to try Hollowal
Pills, and this superior medicine has effected such a perfect
cure that it has astonished all that were aware of his apparent?!
hopeless case.—Sold by all vendors of medicine throughout t..
