NARK-LANE.
No quotable change took place in the value of wheat in
the country markets held on Saturday. The trade was,
however, slow, both for red and white qualities. Malting
barley ruled firm at full currencies; but other descriptions
of spring corn were in limited request at low rates. The
flour trade was quiet on former terms.
Now York letters state that the export inquiry for
wheat and flour had somewhat abated, and that prices
ruled the turn lower. On the Continent the sale of bread-
stuffs has fluctuated to a very limited extent.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
11,874 quarters; of wheat, 1?,,640 barley, 6,065 oats, 600
beans, 75 peas, 2,714 tares, 47,225 linseed, 5,426 oilseeds,
3,015 maize, 2,620 seeds, and 3,0 J bales of flour.
A somewhat increased supply of home-grown wheat was
received fresh up to this moraing'e market, and the condi-
tion of the produce exhibited a slight improvement. Owing
to the prevailing frosty weather, factors commenced busi-
ness by demanding is per quarter more money both for red
and white qualities. Millers,
however, wore indisposed to
make purchases except on the terms of this day se'nnight ;
consequently, the state of the trade was very inactive. The
amount of business done was of but moderate extent, at the
full prices of Monday last.
There was a fair show of most descriptions of foreign
wheat on the stands. Good and fine American parcels
moved off steadily at fully previous quotations; otherwise,
the foreign wheat trade was quiet, yet prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of wheat and other grain were in mode-
rate request, and late rates were steadily supported.
The show of home-grown barley on offer was of fair
average extent. With foreign produce the market:was well
surplied. With the exception of good and fine qualities,
for ;which there was a steady demand at full prices, the
trade ruled quiet at loot Monday's currency.
About an average business was transacted in malt at full
quotations.
The supply of foreign oats on sale was moderate, and the
show of English, Scotch, and especially Irish qualities on
the stands was tolerably large. The trade for all descrip-
tions was dull, and inferior parcels wore rather lower in price
than on Monday last.
The supply of beans on sale was moderately extensive.
However, they commanded a steady sale, and late rates
were fairly supported.
Peas were in fair average request at full quotations.
Thera was a moderate supply on offer-
For flour there was a moderate inquiry. In prices no
change took place. b'rench qualities were in good supply,
but barrels were rather scarco.
