COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS."

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
Very limited supplies of English wheat were on sale at
Mark-lane to-day, and the quality of the samples was;for
the most part, inferior. Fine dry parcels were held firmly
at Is. advance on bat week's quotations, and for rlsecond-
rate parcels fully late rates were demanded. The de-
mand for all qualities, however, was very inactive, and the
few purchases made were tomeet immediate requirements.
In foreign a steady business was peeing, at very full
prices. Fine Californian and Australian wheats show an
advance of Is. per quarter on the week. The show of
samples was moderately extensive.
Barley was in fair request at fully lut week's prioes for
both grinding and malting descriptions. The malt trod*
was dull, but the quotations were firmly maintained.
Oats were somewhat scarce, and good sound corn was
the turn dearer. _ _

Beans commanded late rates with a slow sale.
Peas sold slowly on former term'.
Maize was steady in value, with little business doing.
Linseed was in little demand, but the quotation' were
without any serious decline • rapeseed, however, was
very dull, and, owing to the bad quality of the late ar-
rivals, prices were rather eaaier. Clover and other agricul.
tural seed" changed hands slowly at last week's currency.
Town made flour was unaltered in value. Country marbr
and foreign qualities were held for rather more money.
American barrels were the turn dearer.
_

' Tho Hosting grain cargo i;5;1;;; ruled steady, but
owing to the comparatively small number of vessels
arrived at ports of call, the tr tnsactions have been limited
in number. Wheat was dull at the commencement of
hat week, and prices gave way 3d. to Gd. per quarter;
since, them, however, the &mend has ruled more active,
and the decline hag been recovered. A few eau
have taken place in cargoes on passage, on about
previous terms. We quote Berdianaki, arrived, Gig. 6d.;
Marienopoli, 67.. 1041. to GSA. 3d. • thick., G6s. 6d. to
67a. ; Banat, Gss. 6d. per 4421bs ; Polish, &is. 3d. ;
Danubian, 595. 3d. ; Wallas:bun, 595. 3d. ; Berrien, 63e. ;
Seidl, 55.. 6d. per 4801 b.. Galati, on passage, 645. ;
Danubian, 60a. per 480 lbs. ; Chirka, shipping, G7a. per
4921b5. No maize has been on offer, and, in the absence
of business, the quotations aro nominally unaltered-say
46a. per 4801bs. for American, and 48s. per 4921b5. for
Odessa. Barley has ruled tiro iu price-Nioolaieff, arrived,
having changed bands at 355. 4 cl. ; and Azov, Lobe shipped,
at 325. per 400 Ms. Ryehas been soniewhat soiree, and pikes
have been firmly maintained, but the demand has been
inactive. Danubian, on passage, has realised 535. 9d. ;
Borugan, 54.. 3d. ; boos, to be shipped, Sic. per 4301b5.
Seidl beans, on passage, have sold at 425. per 48011 o. Con-
siderable quantities of linseed have come to L.tnil, and
values are rather weaker, and ripeseed has been very
dull, the bulk of tho parcels lately arrived being math
out of condition.
