MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE,
The country markets held towards the close of last week
were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade was
very dull at further reduced rates. All kinds of spring
corn, including flour, moved off heavily, and the quotations
had a downward tendency. The continental markets are
very dull, whilst from New York we learn that the trade
for wheat and flour is less active, on easier terms. Up to
our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were
very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
27,951 quarters of wheat, 21,807 barley, 11,375 oats, 953
beans, 55 tares, 850 linseed, 13,935 oil-seeds, 217 maize, 160
sundry seeds, 1,529 sack, and 26,537 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the receipts of home-grown
wheat were very moderate, and of but middling quality.
The trade, both for red and white qualities, ruled inactive,
yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday
last. _ _

The supply of foreign wheat was large. In all descrip-
tions a limited business was transacted; nevertheless the
quotations, almost generally, were steadily supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, but with-
out leading to any alteration in the rates current last week.
The market was well supplied with barley, foreign pro-
duce especially being freely offered. Malting qualities
moved off slowly, at last Monday's prices; otherwise, the
trade ruled heavy, and the quotations had a downward ten-
dency.

The inquiry for most kinds of malt was far from active,
on former terms.

With oats the market was moderately supplied. Home-
grown samples, fresh up, fairly supported previous rates;
but other kinds sold heavily, at fully the late reduction in

prices.
Mazagan beans, being in small supply, realised former
prices; but other kinds—the receipts of which were some-
what extensive—declined Is. per quarter.
The show of peas on offer was very moderate, and the de-
mand ruled steady, at late currencies.
Barrel flour was in slow request, at the recent fall in
prices. For other descriptions, the inquiry was much re-
stricted, yet prices were unaltered.

private contract market we have to report continued heavi-
ness, and prices have a downward tendency.
