131Rsurta RAM, MAT 23.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 18th, there was a fair business doing in Wheat
at Is per quarter less than the prices realised thatday se'nnight.
Barley held for some advance, but buyers would not comply.
Oats fully asdear. Beans and Peas both Is per qr higher.
This week the weather has become much warmer, which,
added to the decline in Mark-lane, Liverpool, &c., has caused
the transactions to be on the most limited scale, but we have
not heard of any reduction being submitted to on any article
of the trade. At this day's market there was a fair supply of
Wheat from the farmers, which sold slowly at a reduction of
Is to 2s per qr. Barley unaltered in value, with very little
doing. More sale for Oats at former prices. No advance
could be obtained on Beans and Peas.
