COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
Coastwise and by land carriag&rex and Kent were
the arrivals of wheat
fresh up to our market to-day fro
only moderate ; but, on the whole, in good condition. The
attendance of millers being small, all descriptions met a
slow sale ; nevertheless, Monday's quotations were sap-
ported.
Moderate supplies of foreign wheat were on sale. The
trade ruled heavy at about stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of wheat met a slow sale, at the late re-
duction in value. In other kinds of produce, afloat, very
little business was transacted.
There was a fair average quantity of barley on the
stands ; but the supply was chiefly composed of foreign
parcels. The demand was inactive, at late rates.
Malt supported late rates with a limited inquiry.
Oats were in good supply, and sluggish request, on
former terms.
Beans charged hands steadily at extreme quotations
For peas the trade ruled firm, at quite late currencies.
Both English and foreign flour moved off slowly ; prices,
however, remained unchanged.
The seed trade was dull, at about previous currencies.
Cakes were heavy, at the recent decline in prices.
