BIR1lINI:IMA74, MAT 23.—At Gloucester and Worcester

at is per quarter less than the prices realised that day se'nnight.
Barley held for some advance, but buyers would not comply.

This week the weather has become much warmer, which,
added to the decline in DI ark-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
