MARK-LANE.—WEDXxsoir.
The Corn Exchange to-day was thinly attended by millers,
and the business transacted was of a trilling character, at
about the rates current on Monday last. The supplies of
English wheat were linii.ed, but those from abroad were
large. Trade was illative, and prices were with difficulty
maintained. Really choice bailey was steady, but other
qualities were slightly easier to purchase. Malt changed
hands slowly, on former terms. There were good supplies of
oats, for which a cautious demand prevailed. at previous
quotations.
