COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THDEI DAY.)
There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on
sale at Mark-lane b-day, the quality of which was rather
inferior. Both red and white qualities met a slow sale at
about the prices current on Monday last.
Foreign wheat—the show of which waa extensive—was
in retail demand at that day's rates.
Fine parcels of barley—both English and foreign—were
in steady request at full prices, but inferior sorts were dull.
The malt trade was very heavy, at unaltered quotations.
The supply was somewhat extensive.
Oats were plentiful and rather cheaper, but all sound
corn sold freely.
Beans commanded little attention, but we have no
change to notice in price.
White peas were plentiful, and again easier, but grey and
maple qualities are steady in value.
Maize was held on former terms.
Linseed and rapeseed were firm at improving =WIDOWS.
Cloverseed and trefoils were unaltered. Tares changed
hands at last week's prices.
The flour trade was heavy, but miller, made no change
in the top price of town made. Country marks and
American barrels still tend downwards.

The floating cargo trade has been rather more active,
although the transactions have not, by any means, been
on an extensive scale. The arrivals of wheat
have been good, but the quality of the samples
has generally been inferior, and prices have consequently
given way about le. per quarter. All good and fine qualities,
however, being scarce, have been eagerly sought after,
and in some instances Is. more money has been ob-
tained. In cargoes on paasage, or for shipment, there
has been very little passing, sellers holding for higher rates
than are at present obtainable. We quote Mazianopoli,
arrived, 67e. 6d. to 68s. 3d. ; Ghirka, Taganrog , 60s. to

reported, and Euptian are nominally quoted at 41s. to

cluded in linseed for shipment during December and
January at 65e. 6d.; and for shipment next season
