MARK-LANE.-MONDAY.

Al Mark.lane the grain trade continued firm. American
advices report considerable steadineas, and ills evident that
the market here being mainly influenced by the course
of events on the other side of the Atlantic must rerpond.
Supplies of home grown produce were again very short, and
proved not so plentiful as formerly. There was a moderate
attendance, and a fair business was transacted. English wheat
was about 2a., atm foreign about 2.5. to Sc. per qr. dearer than on
Monday last. Barley was in moderate supply. Malting was very
firm, and grinding ruled about lit. higher than last week.
Malt was firm in value and inquiry. In oats more business
was doing, and the tendency was against the buyer to the
extent of Is. ed. per quarter. Maize was again very firm,
especially round Aanerlsan. Prices ruled 2s. to as. higher.
Beans and peas were steady, and about Is. dearer. The
flour market was very firm, at an advance of .le. to 2s. per
sack and barrel.

The cattle trade was much in the same position. Supplies
were ample for requirements. The arrivals of English
beasts were on a fair scale, and there was a liberal display of
Irieh stock, but not much from Scotland. As usual, the
quality and condition left plenty of. room for improvement.
Taere was no feature in the market. Business throughout
was quiet, and no particular change occurred in prices.

stock went for 55. per 81b. From the Midland and home
counties we received about 2,000, from Scotland 64, and from
Ireland about 1,000 head. On the foreign side of the
market were about 300 Americans, besides a few Danish and
Spanish. There was a quiet trade, on former terms The
