KA RK-LANK -(TH 18 DAY.) To day's market was very moderately supplied with Eng lish wheat ; but the general quality of the samples was good. Tue attendance of boyars was limited, and the trade was in a most inactive state, at Mondar'e &elute is prices. The abow of Imago wheat was by no means exteosive. Holders of really fine qualities were firm io their demands ; but the inquiry was restricted to retail parcels, at late ratcs. Low and damp wheats ruled very dull ; bat so quotable cheeps took place in their value. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten tion, and late rates were with difficulty supported. The show of both English and foreign barley was season ably good. Malting samples were wholly neglected, and the sale for grinding sod distilling aorta was heavy, at barely last week's mom. Malt, the sootily of which was moderate, was extremely inseam, at the late decline in value. Good sound oats realised previous correacies. Other wise, the oat trade was heavy, on former terms. The inquiry for barley was steady, at Late rates. The supply was by no metes extensive. Peas sold slowly, bat at full prices. The door trade was quiet, at Mooday's qnotatioes. Linseed sad rapeseed were is fair request, at full curren cies. Most other seeds were fins is price ; but cakes were • dull inquiry. Cottonseed maintained previous quotations. CUMULI'? 1.1101/1. ....

MINES.-(THIS DAY) Two o'CLocz. The mining market continues inactive, and the variations in prices are few and unimportant. East Lovell shares are heavy, and have de clined 11. 55., the present quotation being " sellers." Wheal Seton are also flatter, at 195 to 200. East Caradon are quoted 301 to 311, being ss. better, and Wheal Grenville, 101 to 1. Wheal Basset shares have been dealt in at 91 and 91. Foreign and colonial mining shares are un changed. Cape Copper have changed bands at 121, and Yudanamutana at 3. The oommittee of the Stock Exchange have refused to grant a settlement in the shares of the °tea Copper Mining Company (Limited). It appears that the company was brought out and some of the shares applied for as far back as 1862, ►nd that the money of the applicant& was retained up to the allotment of shares, which occurred recently, when many of those applicants received letters of "regret." The operations in the shares, under the influence of which they rose to nearly 5 premium, seem to have also contributed to the decision of the committee. At the sale of copper ore in Cornwall yesterday a decline of 4} took place in the standard. The ore from last Caradon Mine realised yester day at the sale in Cornwall 2,8131. lfes.
