THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, JULY 18. —At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the I3th the wheat trade ruled dull, at an advance
of about Is per quarter. Barley the turn dearer Beans more
sought after. Peas fully Is per quarter higher. During the
present week we have had a continuance of hot, forcing wea-
ther, which has caused transactions in wheat to be on a most
limited scale, but we do not hear of any reduction having been
submitted to. Barley firmly maintains its value. Few oats
have changed hands. Beans unaltered. Peas, in consequence
of the unfavourable reports of the growing crops, are held for
an advance. At this day's market there was again a short sup-
ply of wheat from the farmers, yet sales could only be made by
submitting to a decline of fully Is per quarter. Barley un-
altered. Beans less in request. Few peas offering. Oats sold
slowly, at former prices.

DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET JULY 16.—The supply of
fat beasts to-day was not large, and the quality of those from
our own grazing districts was but inferior, while those from
the north of England and Ireland were excellent in quality,
and very far superior to our own fed animals; the demand was
considerably less than was expected, considering the number of
buyers present from our own and neighbouring counties. The
sheep pens were better filled, and the demand for lambs and
sheep, not too fat, was some little improved since our last.
There were but few calves shown, which were readily disposed
of at high prices. The number of fat pigs was not large, and
they were readily disposed of. Beef, 40 to sd; mutton, 40
to 5d ; lamb, 6d ; veal, 40 per lb ; pigs, 6s 6(1 to 7s per

oats, 21 quarters of peas. and 60 quarters of rye. The wea-
