MARX•LANZ, Monday, Deeember 14.—The arrivals of
Louis-grown wheat to Mark-lane, during the past week,
have been very moderate, and a oonsiderable proportion
of the produce lies been received in poor condition.
Both for red and white qualities the ftrade lhas ruled
lees firm, and a fall of lc per quarter has taken place in
the value of inferior samples. Good and fine wheata,
however, have iteadily supported the recent im-
provement in the currency. With foreign wheat, both
ex ship and ex graini7. the market has been very
moderately supplied. :so quotable change has taken
place is, prioes compered with last week, but where
inieg have been pressed, lather leas money has been
accepted. Generally speaking, however, holders are
iniliaposed to sell except at full quotations and millers
operate only to meet immediate wants. Large supplies
of barley hove come to hand from foreign porta, and •
full average supply of English produce has been offered;
good and fine malting parcels have moved off slowly, at
about previous rates ; otherwjet, the quotations have
had • downward tendency. 11.4 t has sold heavily, on
former terms. Gaits—although the import I.
met • slow sale, but full prices. beans,
the 'apply of which has increased, have ightly de-
clined in price, and other descriptions are somewhat
cheaper. Increased supplies of foreign peas are on sale,
and the trade rules heavy, at, in some instances, Is per
quarter less money. In flour, both English and foreign,
about an average business has been transacted, at
stationary prima. The supply of barrels in the market
Is very moderate.
