THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 24.—At Gloucester and Wor-
cester markets, on the 19th, lower prices were not sub-
mitted to, but the wheat trade ruled very dull. Barley
nominally unaltered in value, but less in request. Oats
held fur an advance of 6d to is per quarter. There was
some speculative inquiry for beans and beans, and the
turn on the former was in favour of the seller. This
week the trade has again been paralyzed by the maga'.
tude of the arrivals on the coast, but holders have not
pressed sales; and for the wheat which has changed
hands nearly previous currency was obtained. Barley
offering at a reduction of is per quarter, without finding
buyers to any extent. Only limited parcels of oats have
found buyers, for which full prices were realized; and
the same remark applies to beans. Rather more doing in
peas. At this day's market there astargaadien aruslheodrdt supply
from the farmers, yet the wheat
rather under the currency of this .day se ' nnight, but we
make no alteration in our
quotations. Barley 6d to Is
per quarter lower. Very little doing in oats, but they
are firmly held for higher rates. Beans 6cl to is per
quarter dearer. We heard of no transactions in peas.
BRISTOL, APRIL 24.—The demand for wheat this
vigek has been inactive, both English and foreign, at a
decline of 6d to is per quarter, and on flour of Is per
sack. At this day s market English new wheat fetched
from 36s to 403 per imperial quarter; foreign white, 40s
to 42s per 4801 b; ditto red, extra fine qualities, 38s to
40s; ditto, ditto, fine ditto, 358 to 375; ditto, ditto, ordi-
nary ditto, 32s 6d to 355; ditto, hard, 33s to 355; flour,
English seconds, 26s to 29s per sack; American, &0.,
sweet, 20s to 22s per barrel. The malting season for
barley with the present warm weather may be con-
sidered as nearly at its close, but grinding barley and
oats are scarce, with en upward tendency. English
malting barley sold to-day at 24s to 29s per imperial
quarter; ditto, and foreign grinding, 21s 6d to 22s 6d
per 400ib; oats, Devon and 'Welsh, fetched from 15s to
17s per imperial quarter; Irish, white, 17s 6d to 19s per
3201 b; ditto, black, 15s 6d to 16s 3d per imperil quarter.
In beans and peas there has been very little doing.
English beans sold at 24s to 283 per imperial quarter;
foreign ditto, 23 to 26., per 480 b. The !sr; ivala tor the
week have been—wheat, 1,310 quarters; bar!ey, 1 780
quarters 320 barrels; beans, 125 quarters; flour, 553
sacks. The averages for the week are—wheat, 38s Id;
oats, 161 ld; barley, 23e 2d; beans, 28e,

GLASGOW, APRIL 2 3.—Tile arrivals coastwise usl_
from Ireland continue on a small scale. From abroad.
the supplies consisted of about 4,078 quarters of wheat;
whereof 3,000 quarters were frpm Egypt,
from the Baltic, and 780 quarters from France, along
with 7,771 sacks of flour from the latter country. Trench
flour was the principal article dealt in in retail during
the week. Of other articles no sale of importann!
transpired. This day's market was moderately well .ar.
tended. Wheat and flour were a fair retail sale, warns

out material change in value. Barley was the
dearer. Oats and oatmeal realized an advance of 6d per
trill or load respectively. Beans for grinding brought
readily last week's currency. Peas and Indian corn 1112-
altered.
