MARK-LAWEDNESDAY.
The continued unfavourable weather and the gloomy har-
vest prospects have caused much firmness to prevail in the
grain trade at Mark-lane. Business, however, has been by
no means brisk, the attendance being limited. English wheat
has been sparingly offered, but foreign has been fairly sup-
plied. The demand has be Is very poor, all qualities being -
held for a further advance of is. to 2s. per qr., but trans..
actions have been limited. A moderate supply of barley on ,
offer. Maize quiet, but steady trade at full prices. Malt has
been without change. There has been a large arrival of , .4
foreign oats, that of English has been scarce. A fair business
has been doing at Monday's prices. Maize firm, and quite as 1, *
dear. Beans and peas have realised extreme quotations.
The flour market has remained firm, country and foreign _
qualities being again dearer. Arrivals of Grain: English and
