THE COUNTRY MARKETb.

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 17.—At Gloucester and Worces-
ter markets, on the 12th, the wheat trade ruled
dull, and sales could only be effected by submitting t,
a reduction of Is per quarter, but holders would not
generally give way. Barley of all kinds Gd to is per qr
lower. Oats maintained their value, and fine ones are
scarce. No further decline took place in Beans or Peas.
During the present week the t an,actions in the traele
have again been on the most limited scale, the conti-
nuance of the very severe weather having eat a d no
improvement in any article of the tulle. Wheat and
barley are both offering at Is per quarter under former
prices. The few oat: which have changed hands rt alised
quit) a 4 much money. Beaus held for former prices.
Peat nominally unaltered. At this day's mark t tht r
wee a large supply of whe Lt and barley, aid tee shi
were male at the above decline. Oats were taken i
r.'-tail at quite as much money. Very little doing in
beans. Peas rather more inquired for, and few grit d-
ing qualities offering.
