THE MARKETS.

MARK- LANE. oNDAY.
The improvement of value In the wheat trade last week
haa been brought over to this, but business is swayed between
two influences, that of the weather, which make, prices
weak, and the news from Part., which strengthen, the hands
of holders. London is still lower in prices than the provincial
corn centres, and here mitten steadily resist any advance.
Horne and foreign current Supplies are small, and are offered
at Friday's terms, at which wheat and Bong is rather
neglected. Oats ale partially recovering from their sudden
depreselon of last Monday, and are 10 fair demand. Maize
and barley are the turn higher in price, and other articles ere
without variation In value or requeet. The tone in Mark.
lane this morning is untettled. Advice, from America
speak favourably of the growing crops, and In the United
Kingdom there hal been a marked improvement in the ap.
pearance of the corn-growing land, since last Wednesday. On
Saturday the country markets were irregular at prerlotli

NIARK I.ANE.—WEIWISDAY
The continuance of brilliant weather, coupled with the
heaviness prevalent In the Liverpool market yesterday, had
a depressive Influence on the 'ore Exchange to-day, though
the anticipation of the renewal of the export demand foe
France prevented to some extent the downward movement.
The show of English wheat was small, but the receipts from
abroad were moderate. 'trade was inaotive, hut wines were
without material change. Barley was in limited request, on
former terms. Malt was dull, but not quotably lower. Oats
were pur :hued rather curiously, at the rates current on
Monday. Beans and Peas were in slow demand, at about
late rates.
