There are very large arrivals of Englteh ii cur into Load to
this weea, over 41,000 sacks (or nearly dounie the mud
quantity), and as the export demand has been quite in-
beaded for week value hilt sunk generally Is to 31. per
sack and 35. to ta. ter ban: I. Nur is there vary little trade
to-day at these reduedorta tiootatioxs ill. bairn, ada. for
country sock flour. Wheat la in bad condition, and we have
what le • rated • " weath,r market." buyers gettli.g the
samples at quite 31. lower on tiogitsh and Is. on foreign
wheat. Theis are more sellers than buyers, and Jost now
holders feel udexpectettly dlacouratort. AIIIOO4 weak holders
there Is yet a minority of etrong Ones, who il atly refuse to
make reductions. Tee imports from absoal are a moderate
average bulk, but not from any quarter at the world are there
air/Ices that indicate a choice of stipples being excessive.
Bailey sells at last week's rates slowly, nod oats, s,hlch rose
above the neglect of buyers on Friday, are Bela morning id
very small inquiry. Beans, peas, and plata, may be tooled
as before, and in only rota!! rtontrait Rye selling at raiz. to
