COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK.LANE.—THIS DAY.
The supply of English Wheat at market this morning by
land-carnage samples from the near counties wes small,
and was readily disposed of at an advance of fully 2s.
per qr. upon the rates of Monday last; a considerable
amount of business was transacted in foreign Wheat and
American Flour, at an improvement of 21. per qr. and
barrel respectively.
Choice malting Barley maintained its value ; secondary
descriptions were le. cheaper; foreign, for grinding pur-
poses, realised quite as much money as last week.
Oats were saleable, on fully as good terms as on this day
se'nnight.
Beans and Feu found buyers at the quotations of last
Monday.

MINCING-LANE.-THIS DAY.
The only article that is active to-day in the private con-
tract markets is Tea, in which there hes been a large busi-
ness done the last two days in consequence of the proposed
reduction of duty. Common Congou, which was quoted
9,1 d. to 91d. on Friday is now 101 d. to 10:d. per lb., specu-
liters having bought very freely of this description.
The trade has also bought largely of good qualities, 111 d. to
Is. 04d., which also shows an advance of jel. to Id. per lb.
The argument is favour of a further advance is, that the
trade is light in stock, that consumption will increase, and
that an increased supply from China cannot arrive for
eight or ten months.
INITALII.-Iron has been in large demand, and Scotch
pig has advanced ss. to 65.; mixed numbers quoted 645.
Large orders exist for bars, and prices are rather higher.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The number of Beasts is smaller, and the average quality
not very saleable. Choicest descriptions are disposed of,
with only few exceptions, at last Monday's rater, but big
shorthorns are not sold quite so well. We have a
fair supply of Sheep for the time of year; in
consequence of the mild weather and the state of the dead
markets trade is very slow at barely last Monday's quota-
tions. Good Calves are cheerfully disposed of at fully lets
rates. Our foreign supply consists of 622 Beasts, 3,690
Sheep, and 207 Calves ' • front Scotland there are 450 Beasts.
