THE COUNTRY MARKETS

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 17.—At Gloucester and Worces-
ter rrarkttg, on the 12th, the wheat trade ruled
dull, and sales could only be effected by submitting to
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 transactions in the trade
have again been on the most limited scale, the conti-
nuance of the very severe weather having cays-d no
improvement in any article of the trade. Wheat and
barley are both offering at Is per quarter under former
prices. The few oats which have changed hands realised
quite as much money. Beans held far former prices.
Peas nominally unaltere?. At this day's market there
was a large supply et wheit and barley, and the Wes
were made at the above decline. Oats were taken in
retail at quite as much money. Very little doing in
beans. Peas rather more inquired for, aid few grit d-
ing qualities offering.
