Dart ---- 7 7. 11 21 oto 25 Operiootto
—At Devizes a good supply of both wheat and barley.
For wheat trade ruled firm, at last week's prices. For
barley there was a better demand, and a decidedly
better feeling prevailed, but we do not think it was
quotably higher. Feeding stunk at late rates.
On Friday, at Mark-lane the market was extremely
quiet, and prices had a tendency to flatten. Wheat
was in good supply, though the fresh importations
were limited, and the few millers in attendance were
not easily induced to operate, the rates asked being
apparently above what the change in the weather had
led them to expect Malting barley was of bad
quality, and therefore hardly saleable; but a moderate
inquiry pievailed for grinding. Malt was nominally
unaltered in value. Oats, of which the supplies were
rather large, were somewhat difficult to move, and
buyers occasionally had a slight advantage in price.
Maize remained steady, without much demand. Beans
and peas were slow of sale, and quoted as before.
Flour was inactive, and the quotations were against
the factor, owing partly to a want of condition in the
produce.—At Andover quotationsre mained much the
TOM: as on Friday last.—At Lincoln fine dry samples
were firm at fully last week's prices ; little demand for
inferior kinds.—At Liverpool very small business in
wheat at a reduction of Id. on white and id to 2d per
cental on red. Flour slow at late rates. Beans finn ;
Sakti, 425 6d. Oats, peas, and barley without
material change, Indian corn was Hat and in limited
request at further reductions on mixed, which closes
sellers at 325 od to 33s.—At Stamford trade slow at
last week'. prtees.—At Wakefield trade in wheat
41.iet, but last week's prices fairly maintained. Good
I barley at late rates. Other articles a turn against
sellers.
