THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 12.-At Gloucester market, on

the 7th, wheat of all descriptions was is per qr dearer.
At Worcester same day only a trifling improvement
could be realised. Barley is per quarter higher. Beans
and peas held for more money. On oats the turn was
in favour of the buyer. During the present week the
wheat trade has ruled dull, and at Wolverhampton yes•
terday rather lower prices were submitted to. Barley
saleable at a rise of Is per quarter. English beans un-
altered, but most of the samples of Egyptian have been
withdrawn. There are no sellers of peas, except at
higher rates. Oats cannot be dispesed of in quintity
without giving way in price. At this day's market

.., . . . .
there was a large supply of new wheat, which scarcely
maintained its value, but cld English was fully as dear.
Barley inquired for, and readily realised the above noted
advance. Peas Is per quarter dearer, and beans held for
a similar improvement. Oats dull, and difficult to dis-
pose of. .
BRISTOL, SEPT. 12.—The supply of English wheat
to-day has been moderate; and although the market has
not been active it has evinced firmness, and the prices of
this day se'nnight fully realised. English wheat must
be quoted 403 to 46% per imperial quarter. Foreign
white 44s to 46s per 4801bs. Foreign red, finest qualities,
42s to 44s per ditto. Foreign red, medium qualities,
40s to 42% per ditto. Foreign red, ordinary qualities,
and foreign hard, 37s to 394 per ditto. There was a fair
consumptive demand for flour at last week's rates.
English seconds brought from 31s to 335 per sack, and
American, Esc., sweet, 23s to 28s per barrel. There was
more business doing in grinding barley, and for good
qualities an advance of is per quarter could be obtained,
but malting samples most still be considered at nominal
values. English malting must be quoted 25s to 30s per
imperial quarter, and English and foreign grinding 21s 6d
to 23s per 400Ibs. There was a steady but not au altive
demand for oats, at about the late values. Devon and
Welsh feed, 14s 6d to 16s per imperial quarter. Irish
white, 16s to 17s 6d per 3201b5. Irish black 14s to 15s 6d
per imperial quarter. Beans experienced some improve-
ment, and were about 6:1 per quarter higher, English
bringing from 28s to 32s per imperial quarter, and
foreign from 25s to 28s per 4801bs. The arrivals of
