MARK•LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, MAY 14.—Frosh up to-day the arrivals of
English wheat were very moderate, consequently the
ehow of samples was limited. There was, however, no
disposition on the part of the millers to separate beyond
the actual wants; hence, the demand ruled very inactive,
at Monday's currency. Scarcely any English barley was
on show, and the trade was in a sluggish state, at Mon.
day's prices. Fine malt supported former terms ; but
inferior parcels were very dull. We were heavily sup-
plied with foreign oats, which moved off slowly, at the
late decline. Beans, peas, and flour met a slow trade,
on former terms.

moderately supplied with beasts; nevertheless, all
breeds met a slow sale, at Monday's quotations. The
show of sheep was seasonably good, And the
demand was much less active, at about stationary
prices. Lambs met a dull inquiry, and inferior qualities
of lamb were 4d. per glbs. lower than on Monday. We
had a dull sale for calves, at barely stationary prices.
The extreme price was Is. per 81bs. In pigs and miloh
cows very little was doing.
