volunteer into the 55th and 76th Regiments, now

of the garrison gave a grand ball last week at the

which 400 were accepted. The decorations com-
prised some materials which formed part of the

MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

In the country markets held on Saturday good and fine
wheats sold steadily at late rates, but inferior qualities
ruled heavy on rather easier terms. The demand for barley,
oats, beans, and peas ruled inactive, at about stationary
prices. The flour trade was dull.
On the Continent the corn trade is generally dull. From
the United States we learn that the dewaud for wheat and
flour had improved, and that an
.advance had taken place

in prices.
There was a fair arrival of English grain up to our
market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to
36,998 quarters of wheat, 9,557 barley, 75,877 oats, 3,142
beans, 3,967 linseed, 1,957 oilseeds, and 547 sacks and
26,332 barrels flour.
Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate, but most samples were
received in good condition. The trade, however, for all
qualities ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices
compared with Monday last. There were a few buyers
from the North in attendance, but their operations were on
a very Halite' scale, the prices offered by them being too
low to admit of transactions of importance.
The show of samples of foreign wheat, both ex ship and
ex granary, was large. In the former sales progressed
heavily, and where sales were pressed, rather lower prices
were taken by holders. For the latter, the trade was in a
sluggish state, yet the currency was unaltered from this
day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about
stationary prices.

The supply of English and foreign barley was moderate.
The demand for all qualities ruled inactive at the recent fall
in the quotations. _ _

The supply of old malt was moderate, and the show of
new qualities was seasonably large. The trade was dull,
and prices had a downward tendency.
With oats the market was extensively supplied. All
qualities sold heavily, and prices were Gcl. per quarter lower
than on Monday last.
Beans were in fair supply, and heavy request, at a de-
cline in prices of is per quarter.
Peas were unaltered in value from Monday last. The
inquiry was far from active, notwithstanding the short
supply.
The supply of American flour on offer was large, and
prices slightly declined. Country marks sold heavily, at
barely late rates.
