MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The country markets continue to be amply supplied with
wheat, and at those held on Saturday the trade was in a
sluggish state, at about previous quotations. Good and
fine malting barley moved off steadily, at full prices; but
other descriptions met a slow sale, on former terms. For
oats, beans, peas, and flour, there was a moderate demand,
at late currencies.

At New York the export trade, as regards wheat and
flour, remains without improvement, and at the leading
continental ports the demand for produce for shipment to
Great Britain is much restricted•

Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were seasonably good, but the receipts of flour were
far from extensive. The imports from abroad amounted to
2,079 qrs wheat, 1,855 barley, 16,417 oats, 750 beano,
1,000 peas, 1,184 tares, 13,460 linseed, 14,165 oilseeds, 30
maize, 10 sundry seeds, 320 sacks and 14,574 brls flour.

A limited supply of home grown wheat was received
fresh up to our market, to-day, both from Essex and Kant,
and there was a falling off in the general condition of the
produce. For all qualities the trade was in a sluggish state,
and last Manday's quotations were barely supported.
Factor, however, succeeded, in most instances, in obtaining
previous quotations,
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was by no
means extensive. In all descriptions, sales progressed
slowly, yet no change took place in prices, compared with
this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain Were in limited tepee, at late
rates.

Owing to the mildness of the weather there was less
activity in the demand for malting barley, and prices had a
drooping tendency. Grinding and distilling qualities met
a slow sale, on former terms. The show of samples, both
English and foreign, on the stands was moderately exten-
sive.

In malt a very moderate business was transacted, yet
prices ruled stationary.
The market was well supplied with home-grown and
foreign oats. For nearly all dsscriptions there was a good
consumptive demand, and the prices realised were 6d per
quarter higher than those current on Monday last.
The supply of beats on sale was very moderate, and the
trade ruled firm on rather higher terms.
Peas were the turn dearer, and the demand for them
ruled steady, The supply on offer was somewhat restricted.
The flour trade, on the whole, was steady at late rates.

light grey, and round his neck lay loosely the well-
known pink and white silk kerchief, while a black
silk cravat set off his grizzled beard. When he came
on deck afterwards, it was seen with what pain he
walked, and it must be said that it was hardly con-
siderate to compel him to such exertion, when to
the most casual observer the loosely-fitting slipper
and the writhing limp showed at every step the
discomfort, if not actual pain, to which he was
being subjected. It was thought that perhaps the
pilot would cot risk the entrance to the docks, even
with the advantage of the young flood; but pre-
sently a little ball, which had been hanging above
the foretop, broke into a red burgee, which, with the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's flag, told to all
that the Ripon herself was going in. At the main
was an Italian flag, very creditably made up for the
occasion by the sailmaker, end at the stern was the
red ensign. As we neared the docks the Italian
flag was made out by the people assembled on the
jetties, stages, and breakwaters, and there was a
faint cheer. But as th 3 Ripon got nearer the
crowds seemed to increase.
