MARKETS--This Day,

MARK LANE.
The country markets held on Saturday ware dull for
wheat, and the value of inferior produced ruled in favour of
buyers. Malting barley was in demand at extreme rates ;
but oats, beans, and peas moved off slowly on former terms
In flour a very moderate business was transactd, yet no
change took place in prices.
On the Continent, the demand for wheat for export is
extremely moderate. At New York, however. the trade
for wheat and flour continues firm, and the quotations
have an upward tendency.
The arrivals of English wheat up to our market last
week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to
6,028 quarters of wheat, 7,156 barley, 6,922 oats, 2,879
beans, 1,485 tares, 5,240 linseed, 3,820 rapeseed, 4,444
maize, 90 sundry, 585 sacks, and 11,661 barrels of flour.
A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market; the condition of the
produce, however, exhibited a slight improvement. For
dry samples there was a steady demand, and last Monday's
quotations were well supported; otherwise, the trade was
in a sluggish state, but without leading to any material
change in the currencies. A portion of the supply re-
mained unsold at the close of business.

There was a moderate supply of foreign wheat on the
stands, for the most part ex-granary. In all descriptions
a limited business was transacted, yet prices ruled firm, and
without quotable alteration from Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, at
full quotations.

The market was scantily supplied with both English and
foreign barley. Malting qualities were in request, and
prices had an upward tendency. Grinding and distilling
sorts ruled firm, and their value was well supported.
We have to notice a heavy trade for malt at previous
quotations.

The tupply of oats was very small. Owing to their
bad quality, buyers held aloof from making sales, and the
trade was in a sluggish state at barely late rates. Sweet
English and Scotch produce, however, commanded previous
quotations.

The supply of beans was less extensive, and all qualities
ehanged hand' at full currrencies.

The trade for peas was firm, and late prices were well
maintained.

For all kinds of flour the inquiry was restricted to imme-
diate requirements on former terms.
