plant, the wheat trade has oontinued in a most inactive

• transaeted. In foreign wheat the sales have fallen off,
prices have given way fully Is. per quarter. The
demand for barley and oats has been chiefly confined to
retail parcels, on former terms. Good sound oats have
commanded previous rates; but low and damp qualities

ultienaT NIG HT. —At Mark-lane, to-day,
.there was
_ . .

very little fresh English wheat on offer,, but • few
.misaples, left from previous market days, formed a

:r all descriptions, and sales could only be effected
..by Ilabenitting to a .further reduction in prices, say of
'sit ime•quarter. In the vela. of foreign wheat, no
=table change took place. The business doing,
vet, was mash restricted. Barley was a dull
aehrupsdey, end malting qualities were obtainable- on rather
baiter towns. Phse melt was Ann • but medium and
wggferarr quidities were mush neglesed. Oats Were in
fair request, and all good and fine corn fully maintained
its ',Atte. Beans and peas, the rapplies of which were
sopil; moved off slowly, at late rates. In all kinds of
QO/t, sales progressed heavily, and the quotations bad a
_rpoping tendency. The imports, this week, amount
. to 19,820 quarters of wheat, 7,750 barley, and 23,340
,quarters of oats.
