MARKETS—This Day.

BIARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled heavy, and prices declined in several
instances is per quarter. Malting barley Was dull, and
drooping in value ; but in oats, beans, and peas, including
flour, no quotable change took place.
Both on the continent and at New York buyers of pro-
duce on British account operate cautiously, and prices rule
in some instances the turn easier. Up to this market last
week the arrivals of English grain, &0., were but moderate.
The imports from abroad amounted to 4,832 qrs of wheat,
1,267 barley, 19,366 oats, 1,600 rye, 20 beans, 275 tares,
8,932 linseed, 2,753 oilseeds, 220 sacks and 1,200 barrels of
flour.

The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market
to-day, were but al-Aerate. The trade, however, both for
red and white qualities, ruled heavy, and, compared with
11.1on0ay last, the prices realised exhibited a reduction of
fully is per quarter.

The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was by no
means extensive. Danizic and E onigsberg wheat were
held at previous rates ; otherwise, the trade was dull, and
the quotations had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at
about stationary prices.

The market was Seasonably well supplied with mostkinds
of barley. For all descriptions the trade ruled heavy, and
prices declined is per quarter.
Malt sold heavily, and the quotations gave way is per
quarter.

The supply of oats on sale was moderate. Generally
speaking, the trade ruled quiet, yet no change took place in
the rates current on Monday last.

The supply of beans on sales was small, and the trade
ruled firm, at extreme rates.

Peas fully supported last Monday's currency, with a
steady demand for all qualities. The show of samples on
offer was very moderate.
For flour, both English and foreign, the demand ruled
inactive at previous quotations.

measure subsided. For Down wool there is a steady in-
