THE SON. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1863,

Day,

MARK-LANE.
In the country markets held on Saturday there was a
fair demand for English wheat, and all good and fine qu.alf-
ties ruled firm in price. Malting barley sold steadily, at
full quotations, but grinding and distilling qualities, includ-
ing oats, beans, and peas, met a dull inquiry at about pre-
vious rate. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, on
former terms.
As regards the export trade the American grain markets
are very inactive. On the continent the demand for all
descriptions of grain is in a sluggish state.
The supplies of English grain received up to our market
last week, but moderate. The imports from abroad com

prised 25,407 quarters of wheat-13,205 barley-32,202
oats-709 beans-35 tares-4,810 linseed-5,052 oilseeds-
-253 sundry seeds-875 sacks and 8,350 barrels of flour.
A small supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh
up to this morning's marker. A few parcels were on sala
in poor condition, but, generally sneaking, the quality of
the produce was good. Both for red and white samples
the trade ruled firm, and last Monday's quotations were
well supported. At the Close of business a clearance had
been effected at that day's rates.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The transactions in most descriptions were
tolerably large, and prices ruled firm.

A fair business was transacted in floating cargoes of grain
at late quotations.

The show of fine malting barley on affix was very mode•
rate, and such samples commanded extreme rates. With
secondary qualities, however, the market was well supplied,
and the demand ruled inactive at about previous quotations.
Grinding and distilling parcels met a tlow sale on former
terms.

The demand for malt was in a sluggish state at late cur-
rencies. The supply of new produce was small.
The supply of oats was again very large. In prices
scarcely any change took place from Monday last, but in-
ferior qualities were difficu t of sale, even at the recent
low prices. For good and fine produce there was a fair
average inquiry at last Monday's currency.
Beans—the supply of which was moderate—moved off
slowly at the late fall in their value.

With peas the market was but moderately supplied,
especially with foreign qualities, and the trade ruled
steady at late rates.

Both English and foreign flour moved off steadily.

activity, and all classes of wool have considerably advanced
in price.

This morning the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, the Recorder,

tegrity. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give an
account of Alderman Lawrence's antecedents, [lading that

citizens, and that he had the greatest confidence in present-
ing him to his lordship for her Majesty's approval.

elect, and said it was with the greatest satisfaction that he
bad to announce that her Majesty highly approved of the
choice which the citizens of London had made in electing
Mr. Alderman Lawrence to fill the office of Lord
Mayor, an office which was worthy the highest
ambition of the mast distinguished man the city
of London could produce, His Lordship then alluded
to the part the worthy alderman had already taken in pub-
lic affairs, and concluded by saying that as the Chief Judge
at the Central Crininal Court, he had no doubt he would
discharge his duty with the same carefulness and zeal as
all his predecessors. In every respect he felt peculiarly
gratified in expressing to Alderman Lawrence her Ma-
jesty's high approval of the choice which the citizens had
electing him to be chief magistrate of the City of
madeLond in electing
