THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.
There has been a dull trade at Mark-lane. Business has
been on a quiet scale, and the tendency has not been
strong. The sales of home-grown wheat to the leading
markets of England and Wales through the past 19 weeks
of season were 1,137,414 qrs., at an average of 30ss9d. per
qr., against 1,240,874 qrs., at an average of 325. ld: per qr.
last season. The sales of bnriey were 1,918,084 against
2,016,757 qrs., at an average of 80.9. 2d. against Its. Bcl. •, and
of oats, 181,976 qrs., against 203,479 qrs., the average being
19s. Scl. against 19s. 44. per qr. For English wheat the
inquiry was limited, at late rates. Foreign wheat was dull
of sale, and was about the same in value. Dealings in flour
were only moderate, and prices had a tendency in buyers'
favour. The barley trade, though quiet, was moderately ,
steady, and prices were well maintained. Oats-were firm,
and quite as dear. There was a fair demand for maize at
fully late rates. Beans were very firm. Peas were 6d.
dearer. Lentils quiet.

the cattle market. The weather Was against•the,tra,de, and
not much was done in consequence. The supplies were •
al-out the mine as usual. Those of beasts were 'rather
small, but were sufficien% The trade, though steady, was •
wanting in animation, but full prices were asked for choice .
breeds, the best Scots and crosses making Is to is 24 per
Sib. Foreign beasts were in short supply and quiet request, ,
