At Mark-lane there was no fresh feature of importance in nA 1
the trade. Large supplies of foreign wheat and oats were 1
again offered, but other kinds of grain eupplies were only
moderate. English grain was in larger supply, but was nor
plentiful. English wheat was in slow demand at about late or
rates. In foreign wheat there was not much inquiry, at j
Friday's prices. Fine malting barley was still firm from its
sceretty, but secondary and grinding descrlptionsftwere only' 0; 1
saleable at irregular currencies. Malt sold at full currencies.
Osts were in rather better request at hardening currencies. , I
For maizP, the inquiry was on a limited scale. Beaus soul_ •
peas were quiet and hardly so firm. The frour mArket
inactive.
