MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for
wheat, and prices advanced ls. per quarter. 13arley, oats,
beans, and peas, supported previous rates, with a moderate
demand. In flour, sales progressed somewhat slowly, yet
the quotations ruled firm.

Advices from New York state that the export demand
for wheat and flour was moderately active, and that con-
siderable quantities of produce were on passage to London
and Liverpool, Tne Continental markets are generally
flat.

Small supplies of English grain were received up to our
market last week. The imports from abroad were 15,629
quarters of wheat, 1,628 barley, 17,012 oats, 173 beans, 45
peas, 4,425 maize, 116 sacks and 14,140 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this mcrnirg's market the receipts of home-
grown wheat were on a very moderate scale. Nothwith-
standing the increased firmness in the tt ade in the country
markets held at the close of last week, the demand both for
red and white samples was in a sluggish state. Compared
with Monday last no quotable change took place in the
currency, factors being indisposed to pr ess sates , but many
offers were made at a reduction of is per quarter from this
day se'nnight, The heaviness was caused by the favour-
able change in the weather for harvest operations.
The market was well supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the demand ruled in-
active, and the amount of business transacted was on a very
moderate scale, at previous quotations.
In floating cargoes of grain a fair business was done on
former terms.

There was a parcel of new barley on the Kentish stands,
in but middling condition. With old and foreign produce
the market was scantily supplied, yet the inquiry was far
from active, at previous rates.
Malt changed hands slowly. The currency, however,
was unchanged from Monday last.
The supply of oats on offer was moderately good. No
change took place in the value of any description, but the
demand was decidedly inactive.
Beans were in limited supply but slow request at late
rates.

Peas were steady in price. All descriptions, however
met a slow sale, notwithstanding that the supply on offer
was very moderate. lhere was a parcel of new hog pees

on sale.

The supply of American flour on the stands was tolerably
large, and the demand ruled inactive, at late rates. Town
and country made qualities met a slow sale, on former
ms.

THE NAVY.

The Channel fleet arrived off Sunderland on Thurs-
day morning. The news of the arrival of the fleet
spread quickly throughout the town, and the piers
and docks were thronged with persons anxious to
view the squadron. Several steamboats freighted
with passengers left the harbour for tbe fleet. Steam-
boAts from the Tyne and Blyth also paid the squa-
dron a visit soon after it had taken up its position.
In the course of the afternoon the Mayor of Sunder-
land, accompanied by several members of the cor-
poration and commissioners of the docks, proceeded
in a steamboat to pay their respects to Rear-Admi-
ral Dac-e... Oa Friday Rear-Admiral Dacres, with
a staff of the superior offieers, made a public land
ing. There was a public ball given in the evening.
There were present 200 officers from the fleet and
300 ladies and gentlemen from the town and neigh-
bourhood-500 in all. On Saturday a dinner was
given to Rear-Admiral Dacres and 100 officers of
