MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The country markets held on Saturday were fairly sup-
plied with new wheat, for the most part of fine quality.
The demand ruled heavy, and prices declined quite is, in
some instances 2s, per quarter. _ .

Very moderate supplies of spring corn were on offer, yet
all descriptions met a slow sale, at drooping currencies.
Flour moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
We learn from New York that the trade for wheat and
flour is in a sluggish state, o❑ easier terms. On the con-
tinent the corn markets are flat.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate, but were rather in excess of the pre-
vious week. The imports from abroad amounted to 11,129
quarters of wheat, 2,335 barley, 39,018 oats, 1,940 beans,
625 peas, 8,884 linseed, 5,536 oilseeds, 3,600 maize, 60 sun-
dry seeds, 220 sacks and 12,229 barrels of flour.

Only a moderate supply of new home-grown wheat was
received fresh up to this morning's market. Nearly the
whole of the produce, however, was of fine quality, and the
samples came to hand in good condition. The trade, both
for red and white parcels was heavy in the extreme, and,
compared with Monday last, a decline of 4s. per quarter
took place in the currency. At the close of business a
clearance had not been effected. The show of foreign wheat
on the stands was tolerably extensive. The demand was in
a sluggish state, both for American and Continental
produce, and, compared, with Monday last, the prices rea-
lised showed a fall of from is to 2s per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and wheat
was decidedly lower in price.

The supply of old English barley was very small, and
only a few samples of new were on offer. A parcel of new
Seale barley was exhibited for sale. The trade was very
slow for all descriptions, yet no quotable change took place
in prices from Monday last, New Kent produce realised
37s per qr. The foreign supply was but moderate.
Malt sold heavily, at barely previous quotations.
The market was fairly supplied with oats, chiefly forage.
The trade was dull, and to have pressed sales lower prices
must have been accepted.
No change took place in the value of beans, but the
demand for them was very inactive. There was a some-
what increased supply of 31d produce on offer.
Peas were dull, but without quotable change in value
from last week. The supply on offer was very moderate.
The flour trade, both as regards home and foreign de-
scriptions, was in a slugglish state, and prices had a down-
ward tendency. Town made was reduced 4d per 280 lbs.
