COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MA RIE-LAN 6.—(THIB DAY.)
The arrival', of English wheat fresh up, to-day, were very
moderate. and the show of samples was small The de-
mand, however, for both red and white qualities ruled some-
what heavy ; nevertheless. Monday's =Teary was sup.
ported. The general condition of the supply was good.
With foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary, we
were well supplied. Fine dry parcels weredisposed of to
a moderate extent on former terms, but inferior kinds were
very dull, at late rates.

Very little change took place in the value of floating car-
goes. The inquiry for them was somewhat restricted.
Fine barley was rather scarce. sad in fair request, at
full currencies. In grioding and distilling aorta the
transactions were on a limited scale, at Monday's prices.
Malt, the show of which was moderate. moved off slowly,
yet the quotations were supported. Good sound oats were
quite as dear as last week. Other kinds ruled somewhat
firmer than of late. Beans realised full prices, with a fair
inquiry.
A moderate business was doing in peas, at late rates.
Both English and foreign float was tolerably firm in value.
The seed market was inactive, but without change' in
price. The inquiry for cakes was somewhat restricted.
