BRITISH (:URN TRADE.

Quietness has been the characteristic of the grain
:tr.Tc. The nal weather has esercisel a depressing
influence upon the wheat market. Business has been
extreruely moderate, aisl beiog cunt-mat to meeting
current regrir.muab!, lass be,ai quite of a hand to
trynith character. The tendency WM anis depres.sitos
has continued, and although no autial decline has
been noticed, hail sales lees forced lower prices must
hate been accepted So long as the weather keeps
mild, and agricultural proTects are as favourable as
at prisent, so long may the heavy tone now character-
istic of the trade be expected to prevail. The import
of foreign wheat into the United Kingdom, from the
Ist of September up the 9th instant was nearly
15.000,000 cwt. Allowing fur the re-export, this is
more than 1„000,000 cwt. lcs. than the receipts for
the eotThronning period in the previous =sun. The
quantity of British wheat sold at Mark-l-alle during
the week coding the 12th was 1,370 quarters, average
47, 7d ; barley, 36; quarters, average 47s 6d. Oat';
attemeed about ral per quarter on the week, but
barley, niaize, beans, nod peas were unaltered.
On Thursday, at Bristol, fair supply of English
which sold slowly at a rolUCtitill of is per quarto.;
foreign also in limited request, at a similar decline:
Malting barley maintains its value, whilst grinding is
3d per quarter cheaper. Indian corn dull, and ii
per quarter lower. Oala in good demand, at fully
last weak rates.

At Birmingham for good samples full prices were
madc.—At Devices trade extreniely slow, and fur all
but the very best samples—of which there were few—
prices mast be quoted at Is per sack decline; inferior
sorts were almost unsaleable.

On Friday, at Mark-Lane, attendance thin, and
business limited. English wheat sparingly offered ;
demand dull, and inferior samples lower to sell.
Foreign wheat lees freely offered ; nevertheless
dullneas characterised the inquiry, and forced sales
could only be concluded on lower tennis. A moderate
supply of barley on offer. Malting produce quiet, but
firm ; grinding dull and drooping. Malt changed
hands at late prices. English oats scarce, mut foreign
Ices plentiful. There was a fair demand, and prices
ruled about 311 per quarter dearer on the week. Maize
sold at about late rates. Bons, and isa=s, quiet but
firm. Flour without change in value. —At Lincoln
business ruled fiat, and leas money was offered than
holders were willing to take, but to effect sales a
reduction of is per quarter had to be conceded : red,
4s to 465 ; white, 4Ss to 53s per 36 stone.—At
%lalierield although sellers were willing to submit to a
decline of is per qr transactions took plate very
slowly.
