THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 3.—At Gloucetter market on the
30th ult., wheat wee is per quarter lower. At Worces-
ter, same day, the trade ruled dull, but the supply from
the farmers b•iog limited, no reduction was submitted
to. Barley unaltered in value, but less in request. Beans
fully as dear, with not much doing in them. Peas again
higher. Oats taken at about previous rates. During
the present week, as sellers will not give way, the trans-
actions in wheat have been on a very limited scale. Bar-
ley also very little inquired for, and the turn in favour
of the buyer. Some oats have changed hands at rather
under former currency. Beans nominally unchanged in
value. Peas neglected. At this day's market there was
a fair supply of wheat, and no progress could be made
except at a reduction of Is per quarter on fine and 2s
per quarter on secondary qualities. Barley very dull,
and 6il to Is per quarter lower. Oats were only disposed
of in limited quantities. Beans and peas maintained
their value, but both were much less in request.

FAIR, WESTMORELAND.—This, the
largest and must important of all the cattle, sheep, and
horse fairs in the north of England, was held on Monday
and Tuesday last, and was attended by a large number
of extensive dealers from Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of
Mae, and all the northern counties in England. The
supply of cattle of every description was large, especially
black cattle from the Highlands. Selling was dull at re-
duced prices. The show c f sheep was about an average
one, 40,000. There was a large show of horses, but ge-
nerally they were of an inferior description ; strong
draught horses were the best samples, and the most bu-
siness was dune among them. There was a good display
of Llighla.nd ponies, arid a considerable business was done
among them at good prices. The sale for sheep was
very bad. Upo❑ the whole the fair was a slow one, and
prices on the decline. The following are the quotations.
