COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
MARK LANE.-THIS DAY.
There was rather more English Wheat at market this
morning than of late, the condition of the bulk of the sup-
ply was indifferent. Picked samples of Essex Wheat
brought much the same prices as on Monday last ; but little
progress was made with other descriptions at a late hour,
although factors would willingly have conceded a reduce
tion of Is. to 2s. per qr. In foreign Wheat but a moderate
amount of business was done.
Flour met with but little attention at former prices.
Best qualities of Barley must be noted Is., and other
descriptions 25., lower than on Monday last.
There was a better sale for Oats, at an abatement of Gd.
per qr.
Beans and Peas unaltered in value.
