MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Them was a moderate demand for English wheat in the
country markets, held on Saturday, and previous quotations
were steadily supported. Fine malting barley ruled firm;
but other articles met a slow sale, on former terms.
The corn trade on the continent continues quiet, both
wheat and spring corn being in limited request, at about
stationary prices. At New York the export demand for
wheat ant flour has somewhat increased, and the quotations
have improved.

Up to our market the arrivals of English grain were
small, and a very limited quantity of produce was received
by water-carriage. The imports from abroad am ;anted to
6,199 quarters of wheat, 15,763 barley, 10,025 oats, 2,002
rye, 4,814 beans, 2,155 tares, 13,571 linseed, 8,609 oilseeds,
4,150 maze, 197 sundry seeds, 280 sacks and 11,184 barrels
of flour.

Fresh up to Mark-lane to •day the arrivals of home-grown
wheat were very moderate, and there was a slight falling
off in the general condition of the produce. Good and fine
samples changed hands somewhat more readily than on
Monday last, at fully that day's quotations. Inferior pro-
duce, however, met a slow sale, yet no change took place
in prices compared with this day se'ennight, At the close
of business the whole of the supply of good and fine pro-
duce had been disposed of, but a few inferior samples re-
mained unsold.

There was a full average supply of foreign wheat—both
American and continental—on the stands. The attendance
of country millers was tolerably good, and in most descrip-
tions, a fair business was transacted. Prices generally ruled
firm, and without alteration from Monday last.
Floating cargoes of wheat and maize were in fair request,
at full cut rencies. Other articles, however, commanded but
little attention.

The supply of home grown barley was somewhat exten-
sive, and there was an:increased show of samples of foreign
produce on offer. Fine malting parcels changed hands at
quite previous rates ; otherwise the barley trade was dull,
on former terms. A. few superior parcels made 393 per
quarter,

Fine old malt moved off steadily, at full quotations.
Other descriptions, however, met a slow sale, at late rates.
Owing to decreased importations, the supply of foreign
oats was less extensive. With English, Scotch, and Irish
produce, however, the market was well supplied. On the
whole, the trade ruled steady, at previous quotations.
There was a considerable arrival of beans, especially of
English-grown qualities. The trade was heavy for all
descriptions, at late rates.

Peas moved off slowly,• on former terms. The supply of
English qualities was moderate, and of foreign white par-
cels good,

In sweet barrel flour a rteady business was transacted,
at previous quotations. Other kinds of flour were in
►invited request, at prices well supported.

WOOL.
The fourth and last series of public sales for the year of
colonial wool commenced on Thursday last, with the fol-
lowing arrivals :—From Sydney, 10,207—from Victoria,
4,867—fr0m Adelaide, 608--from Tasmania, 1,362—from
New Zealand, 14,953—fr0m Swan River, 970—and from
the Cape, 30,625, making a total of 63,232 bales. The
attendance of buyers from Yorkshire has been large, and
the Belgian trade has been well represented, but from
France the attendance, as usual, at this series, owing to the
large quantity of Cape generally offered, has been small.
Notwithstanding the advance in the bank rate of discount
to 6 per cent., all descriptions of wool have met with active
competition, at enhanced rates. Compared with the close
of last series, the advance in Australian produce is ld. ;
in New Zealand, ld. to lid,; and in Cape, Id. to ld. per
lb. The sales will continue till the close of the present
month. Mess s. Bradbury and Cook's public sale of Eng-
lish wool passed off well, The attendance of buyers was
large, and bright-haired qualities sold at an advance of
21d. to 21d. per lb. on the rates current in July. Kent
woe]. sold at 2s. to 2s. 21b per lb and long-stapled flocks
realised an improvement. of lid. per lb. compared with the
same period. Privately the English wool trade is very
firm, at fully the late advance in the currency.
