THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

-
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 21.—At Gloucester English
wheat was is per quarter higher; but no advance could
be obtained on foreign. At Worcester higher prices
were not realized on any description. Fine barley
dearer; secondary qualities unaltered. Good oats were
Is per quarter higher; secondary held for a similar im-
provement. Beans dull, and rather lower. Peas main-
tained their value. The transactions in the trade during
the present week, have been limited. All kinds of corn
are held with much firmness, but buyers submit to
higher prices with extreme reluctance, and the sales re-
ported in wheat, barley, beans, and peas are at previous
currency. For oats, in retail parcels, is per quarter
more money has been paid, and white continue scarce.
At this day's market there was a large supply of English
wheat from the dealers, ar.d the trade ruled dull, at
prices rather over the currency of this day se'nnight.
Barley of all kinds less in request, but lower prices were
not submitted to. Oats maintained the above noted im-
provement. On beans the turn was in favour of the
buyer. We had more inquiry for peas.
