THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRXINGHAN, SEPT. 4.—At Gloucester and Worces-
ter markets on the 30th, there was more inclination to
purchase wheat, but the turn was in favour of the buyer.
Barley rather lower. Old oats scarce, and fully as dear;
new cheaper. Beans maintained their value. During
the present week, the weather having become fine,
transactions in wheat have again been on the most
limited scale, but prices are nominally the same. Barley
taken i❑ retail, at previous rates. Old oats inquired
for, and rather more doing in new. Beans and peas
held for quite as much money. At this day's market
there was a fair supply of wheat, which was taken off at
rather under the currency of this day so'nnight. Barley
in fair demand, and firmly maintained its value. Old
oats inquired for, new neglected. Beans sold slowly, at
former rates. Peas fully as dear.
