THE COUNTRY MARKET.

BIRMINGHAM, MAY 15.--At Gloucester and Worces-
ter markets on the 10th, *beat was held for some ad-
vance, and rather higher prices were obtained for the
little which changed hancis, but not sufficient to alter
our quotations. Barley eras in improved demand, and
fully as dear. Oats is tier quarter dearer. On beans
the turn was in favour or the seller. Peas a good deal
inquired for. During the present week some considerable
transactions in wheat have taken place, at prices which
could not previously bo obtained, and Wolverhampton
market yesterday was 611 e is per quarter higher. Bar-
ley sells freely at last Week's rates. Oats are taken in
retail at a further improvement of 6d per quarter. The
Egyptian beans on the Market have been cleared off, ex-
cept such as are held considerably above our quotations.

GLASGOW, MAY 'l4.—The arrivals
coastwise
have
been unimportant, and from Ireland they have nearly
ceased, whilst, in lieu of shipments thence, large quan-
tities of the cheaper kinds of flour are taken thither
for which a quick demand continues. The_
receipts of
flour from England'to this have
considerably fallen off
of late, French manufacture taking
its stead. Of foreign
wheat, ma the Clyde, about 6,896 quarters, chiefly from
Egypt, have come to band, along with 2,249 sacks of
flour from France," 813 barrels of flour and 642 quarters
of Indian corn from New York. Via Grangemouth
about 827 quarters of wheat and 1,206 quarters of barley
have been imported from abroad. For wheat and flour
there was a rather` better demand during the course of
last week, and floating cargoes of Egyptian wheat met
some inquiry at late rates. Barley maintained its value.
Oats, the stock of which seems to have dwindled down
unprecedentedly at the principal markets in the United
Kingdom. were in request, but a considerable advance
demanded by holders tended to check sales. Beans were
the turn dearer. Other articles without material change.
This day's market was well attended by town and coun-
try buyers. Egyptian wheat attracted most inquiry;
other kinds, as well as flour, were a retail sale at last
week's currency. Grinding barley was a little dearer,
being light in supply. Oats and oatmeal have to be
written 6d to is higher per boll or load respectively.
Beans advanced 6d to 9d per boll. Peas and Indian corn
sold to-better ailvantage.
