COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
MARX LANE.-THIS DAY.
The supply of Englah Wheat this morning was small,
and the condition being better, fully Is. per qr. more money
was obtained upon runs of Essex. The condition of the
Kentish samples was not much better than before, and no
quotable advance can be reported. Foreign Wheat was in
fair request, and iu many instances Is. more money was ob-
tained.

Barley was in short supply, and the value of all descrip-
tions was well supported.
At previous rates there was a fair sale for Oats, but soy
advance asked checked business.
Yeas were rather dearer. Beans in better supply, and
easier to buy.

TALLOW,MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The market is very steady, and though we have no further
adv.mee in prices to record there is an evident want of
foreign Tallow, arising from the continued decline in the
supplies of cattle and sheep at Smithfield market.
Town Tallow is scarce, and wholly inadequate to
meet the demand for mould-candle =Aim/. Town
