RY EXPRESS (I ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

MAIM-LANE, MONDAY, April 17.

I Owing to the holidays the attendance of buyers alt
at our market to-day was very limited. The arrivals od
1 English wheat fresh up from Essex and Kent were
small, whilst the condition of the produce WM but
middling. Both for red and white qualities the trade
1 was slow, the business done being at the rates current
lon Monday last. A very moderate supply of foreign
' wheat was exhibited for sale. The demand for all des-
ariptions was in a sluggish state, at about previous
quotations, or at a decline of about la per quarter from
the late highest point. Floating cargoes of wheat
were a dull inquiry, and priors bad a downward
tendency. Spring corn afloat supported previous rates.
The supply of English barley on wile was small, of foreign
moderate. The trade for malting, grinding, and dm.
tilling qualities was firm, at full currencies. In malt a
limited business was transacted at late rates. There
was a somewhat increased supply of oats on sale. On
the whole the trade was firm, and previous quotations
were well supported. The market was scantily supplied
with beans, the trade for which was firm, at full prices.
Peas, the supply of which on sale was small, changed
hands at fully late rates. In flour, only a moderate
business was transacted. Prices, however, ruled firm.
