MARK LANE.

Owing to the fineness of the weather the demand for
English wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday,
was in a most inactive state, and, in some instances, prices
further declined to the extent of is per quarter. No
material change took place in the value of spring corn, but
the trade for all descriptions was very quiet. Flour moved
slowly, at late rates.
We learn from New York that the flour trade continued
dull, but there was an improved export inquiry for wheat
and maize. On the continent the corn trade generally is flat.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 21,967
quarters of wheat, 5,061 barley, 24,612 oats, 4,821 beans,
1,339 peas, 4,260 tears, 2,774 linseed, 8,990 oilseed, 960
maize, 4,630 sundry seeds, 1,299 sacks and 33,648 barrels
of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were very small, but most samples came to hand
in good dry condition. The attendance of buyers was very
moderate, but owing to the favourable accounts from all
parts of England respecting the crops, both red and white
produce met a very inactive sale, and at the close of business
a clearance was not effected. Compared with Monday last,
no quotable change took place in prices; but the tendency
was certainly in favour of buyers.
The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. All
descriptions moved off heavily, and where sales were
pressed is per quarter less money was accepted by holders.
Floating cargoes of wheat and other grain were in slow
request, at barely stationary prices.
With English barley the market was scantily supplied ;
but there was a better show of foreign produce on the
stands. The accounts respecting the crops being of a most
satisfactory character, the trade was dull, at drooping cur-
rencies.

Malt changed hands slowly, yet no quotable change took
place in prices compared with Monday last.
There was a moderately good supply of oats on offer.
Good and fine parcels were in fair request at late rates ;
otherwise the trade was dull, on former terms.
Beans sold heavily, and in some instances prices de-
clined ls. per quarter. The market was fairly supplied
for this time of the year. _

Foreign peas were in good supply, but the show of Eng-
lish qualities was small. All descriptions met a slow sale ;
nevertheless, the quotations were without material change
from Monday last.
Both English and foreign flour sold slowly at barely
late rates.
