COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.)

The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market,
to-day, from Essex and Kent was very moderate, but, ow
the whole, in good condition. Both red and white parcels
moved off slowly, at about Mond.ey's currency.
IVe were well supplied with foreign wheat. Even the
finest samples were neglected. Prices, however, were
fairly supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, on
former terms.

Moderate supplies of barley were on sale, chiefly foreign
growth. The few samples of English barley offered were
disposed of ut late rates, otherwise the trade was heavy, at
about previous quotations.
Malt was firm in price, but the demand for it was by no
means active.

-...-.
otta, the showilof which was large, changed hand)
slowly at the late reduction in prices.
The trade for hes= ruled firm on former terms.
.. ..

Very few 111!AS were on offer, and the value of all quali-
ties was firmly maintained.
In flour, the transactions were on a limited scale at about
stationary currencies.
In linseed, r.peaeed, and agricultural seeds, next to
nothing was doing. Cakes were dull.
