MARKETS—This Day

MARK-LANE:
The country markets hold on Saturday were very firm
for wheat, and prices advanced in some instances is per
quarter. Malting barley ruled firm, and the value of oats
had an upward tendency. Other articles were in fair ave-
rage request, at full quotations.
On the continent, the amount of business doing in cereals
for export is by no means extensive. At New York, how-
ever, shipping houses continue to operate freely in wheat
and flour, at further enhanced rates.

The arrivals of English grain np to our market, last
week, were very moderate. The imports from abroad were
confined to 3,487 quarters of wheat-8,048 barley-9,859
oats-562 beans-800 peas-300 tares-4,004 linseed-2,060
oilseeds-60 sundry seeds—and 3,035 sack of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. The condition 9f the
produce was tolerably good. The trade, however, both fcr
red and white qualities, was in a sluggish state; neverthe-
less factors were firm, and they demanded in some instances
rather more money than on Monday last, but millers re-
stricted their purchases to immediate wants, and no quotable
change took place in the currency.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was but
moderate. The amount of business transacted was by no
means extensive, yet prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at full quo-
tations.

The market was moderately supplied with English and
foreign barley. Good and fine malting qualities sold steadily
at full prices; otherwise, the barley trade was quiet on
former terms.

In malt a fair avail.° business was transacted, at late

The supply of oats on sale was very moderate. For all
qualities the trade ruled firm, and prices were in some in
stances 6d per quarter higher than on Monday last.

With beans tho market was well supplied. Nearly all
qualities were in a fair average request, at last Monday's
currency.

Peas, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
steadily, at late rates.

Tho flour trade was rather quiet, yet previous quotations
were supported. The supply of barrels on offer was small.
