raIDAT.— ark• Low : Spring weather rather increese than
dimlniothes the gloom over our grain markets, which were
unable materially to advance rates during the late extreme
cold. In enentry pieces, where the local tr•ific has been much
interrupted, mullein require the middling simnel. of wheat on
oiler, and value I. accordingly aupported, but in London
throughout the present week Us vitality of demand 13an been
feeble, nor have the few transactions made given encourage-
ment to holden. Tin trade off coed fa in no better neonate',
am the prevent wind ebuuld bring in numerous ships overdue,
whilst the vessels on passage are esUmated over 400. In Mark-
lane, the attendance was small, end wholly wanting In etplrft.
English wheat was warmly repeneentod, tlie few menplea of
good quality being held for y's priee'. Tin oaks of
foreign were trifling in number, and only retail in quantity
mine toeing in buyers' favour—nearly la for Ridden and
Amerlean—as compared with last Friday. ' Flour factor. and
millers wade no chance in their ratat, as they have but little
stock ready for delivero. Maine was reduced about 6d per qr.,
611.. Pd. being quoted for landed parcels of stall yellow. Malt-
ing barley was held for late rat..; grinding sorts were as low
aa 21s. OcL to 235. Beene, in small supply, keep Ina at
extreme rates, which are still very moderate. Pees without
variation. Oats ere pressed for ale at lid. to Oil, per qr.
reduction. All feeding etuffe remain neglected, eais
usual wino mane and barley are low In price. The seed
market keeps prices firm, under an improving danand.—•

buyers. A fair Moisten was done ia wheat, and prime are
4st:deg, at the full rates of Friday tart. Little dons in white
pUons. Flour am unchanged. Bewley was more in-
quired for. Beam are recovering from the late depression,
and are la dearer. Indian corn is Tooted 3d. dearer, with
