THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 2.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 27th ult., the turn on wheat was in
favour of the sellers. Barley in good demand, at former
prices. Oats maintained their value. Beans unaltered,
with a limited sale. Peas higher. During the present
week there has been much less new wheat offering, and
an advance of is per qr. obtained on most descriptions.
Barley less in request. New oats are offering at is per
qr. lower, and only taken in limited quantities. Beans
scarcely maintain their value. Peas again rather dearer.
At this day's market there was a limited supply of wheat
from the farmers, and all descriptions realized an advance
of is per qr. Barley rather cheaper. New oats declined
Is to is 6d per qr. Beans dull, but unaltered in value.
Peas I s per qr. higher.
DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, SEPT. 30.—The supply
of fat beasts to-day was not so large as it has been on
some preceding markets; there was no improvement in
the sale of the animals, and although not so many on
oiler yet they were not all disposed of. The number of
sheep and lambs penned was not large, with a slight ad-
vance in price. Fat pigs were plentiful; but few calves
were shown. Beef, 4iri to 5d ; mutton, 4;0 to 5d ;
lamb, sd; Veal, 5d to Sidper lb ; pigs, 7s to 7s 3d per
score; rough fat, 33 6d per stone of 141bs; hides, lid to
lid per lb; calf skins, 2,1 to aid per lb.
GLASGOW, OCT. I.—The supplies from Ireland show
a slight increase in oats and flour; the former reaching
about 5,411 quarters, at,d the latter 1,032 sacks. Coast-
wise, only .643 quarters of wheat and 750 sacks of flour
have come to hand; and from abroad, via the Clyde,
512 quarters of wheat from the continent; 3,124 qrs of
beans, whereof 2,450 quarters, with 19 quarters of bar-
ley, from Alexandria, and the remaining from continen-
tal ports; 937 sacks of flour from Rouen; and 4,290
barrels of flour, along with 464 quarters of Indian
corn, from New York; and, via Grangemouth, 1,917
quarters of wheat, and 669 quarters of beans, from the
Elbe and the Baltic. Business, on the whole,
ruled in-
animate. Our stock of wheat being comparatively
large, and consisting principally of the secondary de-
scriptions from the Elbe and the Baltic, and of Egyptian
and Black Sea kinds, sales were not readily effected
under the pressure of barrel flour on the market. Other
articles were generally easier to purchase. This day's
market was fairly attended. Wheat and flour were held
somewhat firmer, but the demand was slack. Barley
and oats have to be written 6cl lower per boll, and oat-
meal 6d to is per load. Beans the turn cheaper.
