MARIUTS---TLis Day,

MAIA-LANE.

There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the
country markets held on Saturday. Holders, generally
speaking, were not disposed to sell except at fully previous
rates; but where sales were pressed is per quarter less
money was accepted. The spring corn trade ruled firm, at
full currencies. Flour moved off slowly, at late rates.
At New York, the amount of business doing in produce
for export is very moderate. The demand is chiefly cola-
Aced to red spring wheat of good and fine quality. On the
continent, the corn trade is generally steady.

The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market
last week were moderate for the time of year. The imports
from abroad amounted to 27,340 quarters of wheat, 7.382
barley, 45,876 oats, 1,131 peas, 5,106 tares, 2,938 linseed,
1,900 oilseeds, 100 sacks, and 19,060 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market today the arrival of English
wheat Vas small, both from Essex and Kent, but the
quality of the prouce on the stands was good. Compared
with Monday last there was much less activity in the trade,
and the market, was entirely devoid of excitement, Factors
however held both red and white samples at that days ad-
vance in the quotations, tut millers, generally speaking, were
indisposed to operate except at is per quarter more money.
At the close of the market, the bulk of the supply had
been disposed of at, in some instances, a decline of is per
quarter, but chiefly at last Monday's currency.
The market was moderately supplied with most descrip-
tions of foreign wheat. Rod American and spring wheats
moved off steadily at full prices ; otherwise the trade was
slow, nevertheless previous quotations were supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
full quotations.
The flour trade was decidedly quieter than on Monday
last, There was an increased supply of barrels on offer ;
nevertheless, both English and foreign qualities fairly sup-
porter; previous rates.
Beans, the supply of which was small, changed hands at
fully late rates.
- -

Peas were io short supply and steady request at full
currenuies, _ _

On the whole the malt trade was steady, and prices
ruled firm.

London Hospital.—This Day.

• ____49-,

Precisely at five minutes past one o'clock this day their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, at-
tended by their suite, preceded by outriders in scarlet uni-
forms, passed along Fleet-street en mute to the London
Hospital, in order to witness the imposing ceremony of lay-
ing the foundation-stone of the new wing of that institu-
tion.

Upon reaching the hospital, which the royal party did
about 20 minutes after 1 o'clock, they were received by his
