THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.

At Mark-lanq on Monday the attendance of buyers
was rather small, and the demand dull. English red wheat
compared Is under Monday last, white wheat showing no
quotable change. Australian wheat so'd at a similar
decline, and foreign wheats were easier. Barley ruled
steady, and good stout qualities tended rather against the
buyer. New Egyptian leans, now arriving open, 32s to
32s CA par 400 lb ex ship. Old are unchanged at Sas to
33s Cd I els and lentils remain.. Maize, which continues
s wee on the spot, is 3d to 641 dearer than on Monday
last; and on oats, which have also arrived very moderately,
a similar advance is quoted The floating cargo trade is
quiet Off coast, Australian wheat sold at 41s for Rouen.
