MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled quiet, but no quotable change took place in
prices compared with the previous week. For good and
fine malting barley there was a steady demand, at full quo-
tations ; other articles, however, were in limited request, at
late rates.

Advices from New York state that the amount of busi-
ness doing in breadstuffs for export is very moderate. On
the Continent the corn trade generally is quiet.
But moderate supplies of English produce were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
amounted to 27,745 qrs of wheat, 2,967 barley, 63,676 oats,
12 beans, 2.412 peas, 27 tares, 947 linseeti, 450 sundry seeds,
50 sacks and 7,495 barrels of flour.

The fresh arrivals of home-grown wheat to this morning's
market were vet y moderate. Although there was a tend-
ency to improvement in the country markets on Saturday,
millers showed no disposition to purchase extensively, and
sales both in red and white qualities progressed slowly, at
the rates current on Monday last. Nearly the whole of the
produce was of fine quality, and the samples, as a rule,
were received in excellent condition.

The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably
large. The amount of business transacted both in Amezican
and Continental descriptions was very modarate. Holders,
however, were firm in their demands, and last Monday's
currency was supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at
late rdtes. There was a moderate supply of English and
foreign barley on the stands. The bulk, however, was of
middling and inferior quality, consequently, fine samples—
owing to their scarcity—changed hands at full quotations.
Middling and inferior barley, however, was very dull, and
sold at irregular prices.

The malt trade was very dull, at the recent fall in the
quotations.

The market was moderately supplied with English
Scotch, and Irish oats, and the show of foreign produce oa
the stands was large. In nearly all descriptions a full ave-
rage business was transacted. Russian produce commanded
an advance in price of 6d per quarter, whilst other qualities
changed hands at very full prices.
With beans the market was but moderately supplied;
nevertheless, the trade was dull, and the quotations further
declined is per quarter.

Peas were in limited supply, and all descriptions sup-
ported previous rates.
The flour trade was rather quiet. A moderate business
however, was transacted, and prices ruled tolerably firm.
