' ligai t Aim Friday.—Although rather increased
supplies of English wheat have been on offer in most
of the markets held this week, the demand for both
red and white qualities has ruled dowdy, at very full
prior. There has been an improved ale for foreign
. wheat, the imports of whit& have eontinued liberal, at
.;','autztrome • currencies. Tine malting bgriey has com-
manded quite as much money as of late; but inferior
kinds have ruled heavy, on former terms. We have
no change to notice in the value of malt; but, to
force sales, lower rates must be submitted to. There
has been • slow inquiry for oats, and damp parcels
. hew given way to 64 per quarter. Bath beans and
Voices have sold at the recant decline; but both
'" '4' ' kngliah and foreign flour has commanded extreme
quotations.
, Accounts from most parts of the United Kingdom
are to the effect that the winter wheats are looking re-
...A_ 4narkably well.
The advices from New York state that the market
ever 7".'"•=hes been characterised with more buoyancy, and that
holden have manifested increased firmness in the
operations. Canadian flour is in fair demand, at late
rates.
Most of the French markets have ruled steady for
fine wheat, barley, and oats, on former terms; but
other qualities have commanded very little attention.
The supplies on offer have rather increased of late.
The latest advice* from America are to the effect that
wheat, maize, and flour were held at fall prices,
although the export demand was by no means
active. .
Tbe Scotch whets have been but moderately sup-
plied with *bent; chiefly in middling condition. The
demand has slightly improved, and prices have con-
tinued steady. Spring corn has moved off slowly;
but fin* has commanded quite as mach money as of
' late. •
' There has been an improved feeling in the corn trade
am'omtvrelly in Ireland; nevertheless, compared with
, the previous week, wry little change has taken place
ro"Yti faces. .
.' Mr. E. Rainford reports the arrival of 36 grain-laden
vessels off coast since the 16th inst. ; but only • mode-
rate demand for floating °argots, at previous rates.
The increasing probability of • settlement of the
American question, and finally the intelligence that the
threatened war has been averted, produced a dull
*1 market for grain at Alexandria, during the week ending
San. 11; prices were decidedly lower, but there was
difficulty in giving precise quotation", owing to the

• f.0.b., was demanded. Receipts of barley were gene-
of light and inferior quality. In lentils, peas,
chi
_peas, and linseed, nothing was done for want of
imppliee.
Teo' Iriiroior NlGHT.—Altbongh the supply of English
wheat at Mark-lane, to-day, was small, there was de-
cidedly leas firmness in the trade, both for red and white
samples; and, in order effect sales, • slight reduotion
In prises had to be an . The show of samples
.- of foreign wheat was rably large, and the trade
ruled heavy, at barely late quotations. Fine qualities
said** ' of barley were in fair request, at fully previous rates,
but secondary sorts were dull, and drooping in value.
Oats, beans, and peas were a slow inquiry, and prices
had a downward tendency. Flour, owing to the large
' tumbrel of American barrels, moved off heavily, and the
currencies ruled somewhat in favour of buyers. This
, week's imports amount to 30,370 quarters of wheat,
1,350 of barley, 1,680 oats, and 52,000 barrels of flour.
v ‘ At T.averpool, this morning, wheat declined Id to 2d

WOOL MARKETS.
LOIDON, Friday.—A steady business is doing in the
'English wool trade, with considerable demand on
American aceount, and prices, especially for low skin
' wools, are decidedly on the advanoe. In Colonial wools
itte market remains without akaage.
▪ " LIVERPOOL, Friday.—There has been a moderate
business done by private contrast this week at current
""' Yates; The public sales of Rest India wools have opened
with a good attendance of buyers, and prices are re-
- • portid to rule on an average pretty much the same as at
She October series.
• . Itmaproan,—A general flatness prevails in the wool
trade. Transactions are very limited, the only ex-
ception being considerable purchases which have been
• made of very low wools for shipment. In the absence
of business it is difficult to quote prices, though they
appear to remain stationary.
