MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day was very dull, and prices bad a downward tendency.
Fine barley, oats, beans, and peas ruled tolerably firm ; but
inferior parcels, as well as flour, sold heavily, at barely late
rates.

Actvices from New York state that the export demand
for wheat, flour and maize had improved, and that an ad-
vance had taken place in their value. On the Continent
the wheat trade is heavy, but for corn, there is a fair
average demand, at full prices.
Only moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were extensive—viz,, 15,429 quarters of wheat, 17,392
barley, 35,494 oats, 3,445 beans, 15 peas, 935 tares, 32,850
linseed, 18,339 oilseeds, 1,200 maize, 290 sundry, 1,433
sacks, and 17,091 barrels of flower.

A very small supply of home-grown wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market, the condition of the pro
duce, however, was tolerably good. Owing to the prevail-
ing favourable weather for spring sowing, the trade, both
for red and white qualities, was in a sluggish state, and
sales could only be effected by submitting to a further re-
duction in prices of fully ls. per quarter. Factors, how-
ever, bing, for the most part, unwilling to accept this
decline, the greater portion of the supply was left unsold at
the close of business.

The show of granaried samples of foreign wheat was
large. With produce, ex ship, the market was well sup-
plied, chiefly with qualities from Dantzic, New York, and
Odessa. In all descriptions buyers operated with great
caution, and in several instances they succeeded in making
sales at is per qr less money than on Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request and prices
had a downward tendency.
The supply of barley was somewhat extensive. Good
and fine qualities were a fair demand, for seed and malting
purposes—otherwise the trade ruled heavy on rather easier
terms.

The demand for malt ruled far from active, yet no change
took place in prices.
The supply of English oats was small, but the market
was well supplied with foreign produce, of very poor
quality. Good and fine parcels were in fair demand, at
late currencies; but inferior qualities were very dull, t,n
former terms.

Beans—the supply of which was moderate—were less
active, but not cheaper.
The supply of peas was very moderate. All qualities,
however, sold heavily, yet pri,•a. were supported.
Barrel flour—of which there was an increased supply on
offer—was rather lower in values. Town and country made
qualities moved off slowly, yet the quotations were without
material change from Monday last.

Privately, we have to report increased heaviness in the trade
for English wool, and, in order to effect sales, holders have
to submit to reduced prices. Last week's import was 1,223
bales from Algoa Bay ; 1,794 from the Cape ; and 1,821
bales from Port Philip.
