COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
The second week of June has come to a close, wet,
stormy, and unseasonably cold. The fall of rain at this
season of the year has been unprecedentelly heavy. Thick
clouds bid the sun and kept the air at an unusually low
temperature for this season. Vegetation is almost at a
stand-still and the prospects of the next harvest are
gloomy indeed. The middle of June has now passed and
the wheat plants are nut yet in ear, except some very early
varieties in favoured situations. The barley crop is also
leas favourably spoken of, the plants are turning yellow.
The grass and clover stand thick on the ground, they only
want dry weather to put the scythe in. This morning the
weather in London was changeable, but dry,.
The attendance of the trade in Mark-lane to-day was
fair, the tone very firm ; the coulee of prices was
tending upwards. The supply of home-grown grain wag
moderate, sad of country-made flour fair. The imports
of foreign grain into London since lest Monday were re-
ported this morning as fair of flour, large of wheat, large
of barley, and very large of oats.
Wasa.—English slow sale, at about last Monday's rates,
hat Friday's advance being lost. Foreign was firmly held
upon last Fridays
advance, but buyers acted cautiously.
FLOUR quiet demand, at last Monday's advance.
BARLEY free sale, at het Monday's rates.
OATS, owing to large arrivals, 6d. per quarter cheaper
than last Monday.

Monday's currency.
FIRS unaltered, at last Monday's prices.
