BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, AUG. 2.
During the present week only limited parcels of Wheat have
been offering, and the sales reported are at a rise of Is. to 28.
per qr. Barley is held for rather more money. Oats have
found buyers at an improvement of 6d. per quarter. Beans
are fully as dear, but consumers hold off rather than comply
with the rates demanded. Peas inquired for, and few on sale.

WISBEACH CORN MARKET. AUGUST 5.
We have had a small show of Wheat, in consequence of a
continued heavy rain since four o'clock this morning, and it
now rains hard. Wakefield coming Is. to 2s. less than last week
caused the merchants not to act on the unsettled state of the
weather, and last market day's prices are fully supported.
Beans and Oats are held for more money, but there is little
offering.
