MARKETS—This Day

MARK-LANE.
The supply of English wheat on sale here to• day was but
moderate. Both red and white qualities, however, sold
heavily, and the quotations were barely supported. The
supply of foreign wheat on the stands was large. The de-
mand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, and prices
had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at about pre-
vious rates.
With barley the market was fairly supplied, and all de-
scriptions met a dull inquiry, at fully the late decline in
prices.

The malt trade was dull at drooping prices.
The supply of oats was very large, and the trade;for all
qualities ruled heavy on rather easier terms.
Beans and peas were in fair average request at late quo.
tations.
The flour trade was dull, and barrels were rather cheaper.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The public sales have proceeded with rather more
animation, and previous prices have been generally sus-
tained.
BuOAR.—A large amount of business has been done in
West India descriytions, and advanced prices have been
obtained for good grocery qualities. In the refined market
also a further rise may be quoted, owing to the small quan-
tity of goods on offer.
COFFEE.—Business has continued rather dull, and prices
have shown a slight decline, particularly for inferior qua-
lities of colonial.
RicE.—Only limited transactions have been reported, at
about previous quotations.
TILLOW.—The dealings have been moderately active for
for both present and forward delivery, and quotations
exhibit more firmness, P.Y.C. on the spot being marked
445, and last three months' delivery 44s 9d per cwt.

A BRONZE THEASANT as a match to the Golden
and Silver Pheasants.—The French sportsmen think
of introducing the bronze pheasant of Japan,and hope that
it will cross with the present pheasant of Europe, and
introduce a hardier breed of birds, which will increase in
quantity and become hardy denizens of woods and forests,
even during the severest winters.
