THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, APRIL 25.-English wheat is in a fair average
supply, with a better sale, at last week's prices. In foreign
little passing, as holders generally demand more money, with
which our millers are reluctant to comply, but at previous
rates there is rather more disposition to purchase. English
wheat, new, sold 'at 35s to 39. per imperial quarter ; foreign
white, 40s to 42s per 4801 b; ditto, red, fine qualities, 31s 6d
to 36s ; ditto, ordinary, 32s 5d to 34s ; ditto hard, 32s to 345.
Flour in better request, but without improvement in value.

6d to 22. sd. per barrel. In malting and grinding barley
scarcely anything doing. English malting, 23s to 28s per

BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 25.-At Gloucester market wheat
maintained the currency of that day se'nnight. At Worces-
ter the same day a further reduction of is per quarter was
submitted to. Barley unaltered, Only retail sales of oats
were reported. English beans fully as dear ; foreign were
unsaleable. Rather more inquiry for peas. This week a few
sales have been effected in fine wheats, at our quotations.
Barley held for former price.. Oats 6s per quarter lower.
English beans in fair demand, and rather more doing in
foreign. A few parcels of peas continue to be taken on specu-
lation. At this day's market there was a short supply of Eng-
lish wheat, and, in some instances, rather more money was
obtained for fair qualities ; but we make no alteration in our
quotations. Rather more sale for good barley. Nothing
worth notice doing in oats. Beans held for quite as much
money. Peas held for a little advance, which buyers would
not submit to. Our millers have reduced the retail price of
flour 3s 4d per sack.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The entire interest of the betting centered in Ghillie
Callum, who opened at 10 to 1, and receded, point by
point, notwithstanding a very large outlay, until he
reached 15 to 1, taken to some hundreds; supporters,
however, wore so numerous that at the close 12 to 1 was
the highest offer. Nothing else was backed to any ex-
tent; but Clincher, Voltigeur, and Mayors were very
firm ut the prices quoted. The two favourites for the
Two Thousand Guineas Stakes left off at the same
