THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, Fes. I3.—At this day's market English Wheat
was in slow sale, at barely previous rates, viz., 34s to 40s per
imperial quarter. Foreign also, ruled very dull at the follow-
ing rates :—Foreign (white), 42s to 44s per 4801iss ; ditto red
(extra fine quality), 39s to 41s; ditto ditto (fine) 35, 6d to
38s ; ditto ditto (ordinary) 34s to 361; ditto ditto (hard) 34s
to 375. Malttng and grinding barley were each fully 6d per
quarter lower, vie :—English (malting), 22s to 27. per im-
perial quarter, ditto and foreign ditto (grinding), 20s 6d to
2136 d per 4001bs. Oats and beans also receded fScl from last
week's rates, viz., Devon and Welsh oats, 15s to 161 6d per
imperial quarter ; Irish white ditto, 16s 6cl to 18s per 3201bs ;
ditto black,lss to :16sper imperial quarter. Foreign, none. Eng-
lish beans, 26s to 28s per imperial quarter ; foreign ditto, 24s
to 26s per 4801bs. The demand for flour was also languid ;
English (seconds), 32s to 33s per sack ; American (sweet), 21s
to 23s per barrel. The arrivals during the week have been, of
wheat, 150 quarters coastwise, and f5O quarters foreign. Oats,
8,507 barrels Irish ; 1,070 quarters coastwise. Barley, 443
quarters coastwise, and 447 quarters foreign. Of flour, 700
sacks and 16 barrels coastwise. The averages have been, ac-
cording to the corn inspector's return—wheat, 3713 d ; oats,
174 8d ; barley, 24s ; beans, 27s 10d.
BIRMINGHAM, Fan. 13.—At Gloucester market on the
Bth, there was a rather better feeling in the wheat trade ; but
at Worcester, same day, all descriptions ruled very dull, with
the turn in favour of the buyer. Barley unaltered in value,
with less offering. For oats, we had rather more demand, at
former rates. Beans and peas only taken in retail. This week
we have to note the same langour ►n the trade as for same
time past, and the sales reported are at some decline in price.
No transactions transpired in barley. A few small parcels of
oats changed hands at previous currency. Beans and peas al-
together neglected. At this day's market there was a fair
supply of wheat, and best samples of English, both white and
red, realised quite as much money; but foreign was Is per
sraarter lower. Barley rather cheaper.' Very little doing in

our Corn Exchange this morning, and the sales of any article
were in mere retail quantities, at prices much the same as were
paid on Tuesday last.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 14.-There is but little
improvement to notice in our sugar market. The demand
continues sluggish, and the buyers operate with great caution,
whilst, on the other hand, importers appear indifferent sellers,
and only supply the market sparingly with samples. Refined
continues very dull-Bristol Mercury. -
