THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

Binustiottnu, Ara.. 18.—We had quite a panic in our
markets at Gloucester and Worcester on the 13th, and 'I ery

little was done in any article of the trade. The millers anal
dealers would not buy except at a reduction of 3s to 4s per
quarter, whilst holders would not give way more than Is to 2s
per quarter. Barley nominally unaltered. Oats taken in re•
tail at former prices. English beans maintained their value.
Foreign, as also peas, difficult to quit. We have not heard of
a" transaction in wheat (hiring the present week. A few retail
sales of barley, oats, beads, and peas are reported at our quota-
tions. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat,
and the sales made were at a reduction of is to 2s per quarter.
Barley unaltered. We have had very few inquiries fur oats.
English beans found buyers at former prices. Some peas o.ere
taken on speculation.

DERBY SIIITIIPIELD MARKET, A r ati. 16.—There were
not so many fat beasts shown in the market this morning. but
the quality was generally good and higher prices were asked ;
but there did not appear to be any improvement in the de-
mand. The supply of sheep was good, a greater part of
them out of their wool, without any alteration in the price.

demand. The number of fat pigs was larger than it has been

constitute the foreign arrivals ; a few more grain-laden vessels
reached the Clyde, whose contents have not yet been reported.
