BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 10.—At Gloucester and Wor-
cester markets on the stb English wheat was held for
an advance of is to 2s per quarter, but buyers submitted
to higher rates with extreme reluctance. Barley still
scarce, but less inquired for. Oats is good demand, and
6d per quarter higher. Beans and peas unaltered in
value. During the present week few transactions in
wheat are reported, and prices of all kinds are nominally
the same as previously. Barley is generally held for
prices which consumers will only pay on the most limited
quantities. Oats are saleable at an improvement of 6d
per quarter. Beans only taken in retail, but all kinds
are fully as dear. At this day's market there was a fair
supply of English wheat, and the turn on all descriptions
was in favour of the buyer, but we make no alteration in
our quotations. Barley less in request, but fully as dear.
Oats 64 per quarter higher. Beaus maintained their
value. Nothing done in peas.
LOUGHBOROUGH, APRIL 10.—There was a short supply
of wheat at about the prices of last week. In other articles no
alteration.
