THE COTJN TRY MARKETS.

markets English wheat was held for some advance, which
buyers would not generally submit to, consequently very little
changed hands. Barley in demand, and rather dearer. Oats
the turn cheaper, with more sales. Beans and peas nominally
unaltered- During the present week the weather has been
unsettled, and a fair business has been doing in wheat, with the
turn in favour of the seller. Barley scarce and inquired for.
Oats 3d to 6d per quarter lower. alore doing in beans at
former currency. At this day's market there was a fair supply
of wheat from the farmers, and notwithstanding the wet
weather, no advance could be obtained ; but the trade was
