MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was in a sluggish state. Good and fine qualities
fairly supported previous rates; otherwise, the quotations
were rather drooping. Barley, oats, beans, and peas ruled
firm ; and in the value of flour no alteration took place.

On the Continent the trade is steady for most descriptions
of produce. The leading feature in our American advices
is a somewhat improved inquiry for wheat for export.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small, The imports from abroad amounted to 18,149
quarters of wheat, 11,532 barley,
35,985 oats, 2,401 beans,
1,514 peas, 30 tares, 1,480 linseed, 18,258 oilseeds, 375 sun-
dry seeds, 70 sacks, and 8,663 barrels of flour,
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate, and most samples came to hand
in but middling, condition. Good and fine parcels, both red
and white, were in fair demand, and last Monday's cur-
rency was steadily supported. Inferior and ill-conditioned
produce, however, met a dull inquiry ; nevertheless, in m• st
transactions, the rates current this day se'nnight were ob-
tained.

With foreign wheat, ex ship and ex granary, the market
was well supp ied, and there was a considerable supply of
Dantzic. Generally speaking, the trade was in a sluggish
state, yet no change took place in prices from Monday
last. The dealings were in a great measure confined to
Dantzic, and good and fine red and white American
qualities.

In floating cargoes of grain about an average business
was transacted, at late rates.

Notwithstanding that an increased supply of foreign
barley was on offer, and that the accounts at hand this
morning respecting the crop in this country were more
satisfactory, the trade, although less active than on Mon-
day last, was tolerably firm as regards prices, and no
quotable change was observed in the the value either of
grinding or distilling samples, compared with this day
se'nnight.

There was a good demand for malt, and the quotations
had an upward tendency,
With foreign oats, the market was well supplied, and the
show of home-grown qualities was seasonably good, Sales
progressed slowly in all descriptions; nevertheless, good
and fine corn supported last Monday's currency, whilst in-
ferior produce was without material change, The supply
of beans was small. The demand was by no means active,
yet prices ruled firm.
Peas were in fair average request at full quotations. The
show of samples was very moderate.

The supply of barrel flour was somewhat restricted, but
was in excess of last week ; and the trade ruled inactive on
former terms. Other descriptions moved off slowly at late
rates.
