MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day ruled firm, and fine samples in some instances com-
manded is per qr more money. For good and fine malting
barley there was a steady demand at extreme currencies.
Oats, beans, and peas were tolerably firm, and in ft our a
fair business was transacted at full quotations.
, Advices from New York report considerable speculation
in wheat and fiJur, but with a very smell busino ss doing
for export. On the Continent, the corn trade generally is
steady.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 5,311 qrs of wheat, 9,956 barley, 11,096 oats, 1,609 rye,
5,198 beans, 2,396 pea 4, 20,8801inseed, 37,581 oilseeds, 4,5C:0
maize, 360 sundry seeds, 1,941 sacks and 6,063 brls flour.
Tho arrivals of wheat from Essex fresh up to this morn-
ing's market were only moderate, but there was a tolerably
extensive show of produce on the Kentish stands. The
condition of the supply exhibited a slight improvement when
compared with Monday last. Both for red and white qualities
the trade ruled firm, and although factors commenced busi-
ness by demanding is per quarter more money, buyers were
indisposed to operate at the advance, but they subsequently
purchased somewhat freely ; at the full prices of this day
se'nnight, to Is per quarter improvement, and a fair clear-
ance was effected.
There was a fair show of most descriptions of foreign
wheat on the stands, and the trade generally was firm. Fine
red American and fine Russian qualities changed hands at,
in some instances, an improvement in prices of is per quar-
ter, and all other parcels sold at quite last Monday's cur -
rency. The quality of American white wheats on offer was
somewhat inferior.
Floating cargoes of wheat were in moderate request, at
full prices. Maize and spring corn ruled firm.
With most kinds of barley, both English and foreign,
the market was fairly supplied. Good and fine malting
qualities were in request, at fully previous quotations. In-
ferior parcels moved off slowly, yet prices were supported. In
grinding and distilling qualities, an increased amount of
business was transacted, at full currencies.
The malt trade was tolerably active, and botheld and new
samples commanded extreme rates.
The supply of oats was very moderate. For all qualities
the trade ruled firm, and, compared with Monday last, an
advance in price of from 6d to Is per quarter took place.
The supply of beans was by no means extensive. Tho
trade exhibited more firmness, and the full prices of Monday
last were obtained for all qualities.
Peas fully supported previous rates. The supkily on offer
was only moderate, and the demand ruled steady.
Maize was firmer, and the quotations had an upward
tendency.
Barrel flour—the supply of which was very moderate—
sold steadily at fully the late improvement in currency.
Town and country made flour was in fair average request,
and prices held firm.
