MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was quiet, nevertheless all good and fine dry samples
ruled firm in price. In spring corn a fair business was
transacted, and previous quotations were steadily supported.
Flour was in moderate request, on former terms.
Advices from New York state that a tolerably extensive
business had been done in good and fine wheat and flour for
shipment to this country, at enhanced currencies. Ship-
ments of flour continue to be made from Franco to Great
Britain. Up to our market last w eek the arrivals of Eng-
lish grain were but moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 33,292 quarters of wheat, 17,457 barley, 11,129
oats, 230 beaus, 2,083 peas, 641 tares, 25,604 linseed, 9,264
oilseeds, 1,280 sundry seeds, 2,824 sacks and 29,66 S barrels
of flour.

Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of home grown
wheat were very moderato, and the condition of the pro-
duce was by no means satisfactory. The trade, which, at
the close of last week, showed a tendency to improvement,
was, owing to the large importations, viz., 33,000 quarters
of wheat and over 32,000 sacks and barrels of flour—in a
sluggish state. However, at the close of business, a fair
clearance had been effected of good and fine dry samples,
and prices for such exhibited less depression than on Mon-
day last. Compared with this day fortnight, the quotations
realised showed a reduction of is pa. quarter.

The supply of most descriptions of foreign wheat on the
stands was moderately large. The amount of business
transacted was very moderate, and where sales were pressed
rather less money was accepted.

Floating cargoes of wheat were in slow request, at late
rates. Spring corn afloat was, however, tolerably firm.
With barley the market was moderately supplied. Malt-
ing qualities, in fine condition, sold steadily at full prices.
Secondary descriptions were in slow request, at late rates.
For grinding and distilling parcels the demand ruled inac-
tive, on former terms.

A moderate business was transacted in malt, at previous
currencies.

The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. All good
and fine descriptions of corn were in fair average request, at
full prices; otherwise, the trade was dull, on former terms.
Beans changed hands to a moderate extent, at the late
rates. The show of samples was of fair extent.

The value of peas was steadily supported, and the trade
was tolerably firm.

Although the import of barrel flour last week was large,
very little was offered at market to-day, and prices may be
considered the same as on Monday last, In other descrip-
tions of lour a fair business was transacted at late rates,
