THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, AUGUST I.—At Gloucester sad Worees,
Ler markets on the 27th the extravagant demand for wheat
caused the transactions to be on a limited scale ; the sales
made were at Is to 2s per quarter above the currency of that
day sennight. On barley the turn was in favour of the seller.
Oats unaltered, with a limited sale. Beans and peas both held
or is to 2s per quarter more money. The weather during
the present week, with the exception of a light shower or two,
has been fine and warm, which has caused the wheat trade to
rule dull ; but we do not hear of lower prices having been sub-
mitted to. Barley in good demand, and realising quite as
much money, Oats unaltered. Holders of beans and peas
are more anxious to realise. At this day's market there was
a large supply of wheat, and the trade ruled dull ; secondary
red wheats were Is per quarter lower ; the finest white wheat
realised 6s 24 per bushel ; red, 5s 4d to 5s 9d. Grinding bar-
ley less in request, but good readily found buyers at 21s. per
3921 b. Very little doing in beans, some fine Egyptian sold at
los 3d per 19615. Oats only taken in retail. Grinding peas
in fair demand, at Its 6d _per 1961 b.

address was voted to the KING to the same effect.
The Hanoverians have sent 100 Louis d'ors to the
