(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
• MARE-LANE, MONDAY, May 22.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our mai•..
7 to-day were very moderate, both from Rues and Kent.
The condition of the produce, however, was good.
Owing to the limited number-of samples on the stands
. the trade opened with firmness, and button held all
qua ties at the full prices of Monday last, Millers,
. however, were by no means disposed to operate freely,
and during the whole of the business hours the trade
presented a very quiet appearance • but at the close of
the market a fair clearance had been effected, and the
rates current on Monday last were supported. The
supply of foreign wheat ou the *tends was very mode-
rate. Good and prime old Dantsie qualities were in re-
quest at extreme rates. For other kinds of foreign
wheat there was • fair demand, and prices ruled firm.
1, Floating cargoes of wheat and spring corn were in fair
request, at fully late rates. With English barley the
, market was scantily supplied, and the show of foreign
. produce was tolerably large. The trade for all
qualities ruled inactive, yet prices. were unaltered
rom Monday last. About an average business
was transaoted in malt at late rotes. The market
I was well supplied with foreign oak, but scantily
with home grown produce. In all descriptions
sales progressed slowly, yet prime ruled stationary.
, Been/ were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at
full currencies. The few peas on offer changed bands
. at the full prioes of Monday last. The market was
scantily supplied. There was very little barrel flour on
offer, and the trade ruled firm, at quite previous rates.
