MARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat inthecoUntry markets, held on
Saturday, ruled inactive, and prices had a downward ten-
dency. Barley, oats, beans, and peas were a dull inquiry,
and they changed hands at, in some instances, somewhat
easier rates. In flour, a limited business was transacted, on
former terms.
On the continent, the trade generally is quiet; neverthe-
less, prices rule tolerably firm. The exports from New
York continue very moderate.

The amounts of English grain up to cur market, last
week, were moderately good. The imports from abroad
amounted to 19,268 quarters of wheat; 34,211 barley ;
10,560 oats ; 2,850 rye ; 5,416 beans ; 7,984 peas ; 3,453
tares; 11,015 linseed; 1,040 oilseeds; 1,350 maize; 300
sundry seeds; 1,201 sacks, and 7,450 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market, to-day, there was a moderate
arrival of wheat from Essex and Kent, but the condition of
the produce was very middling. Generally speaking, the
trade was in a sluggish state. Good and flue dry samples
barely supported last Monday's quotations; but damp par-
cels could only be disposed of by submitting to a reduction
in the currency from this day se'nnight of one shilling per
quarter. A portion of the supply of dry wheat was taken
by buyers from Yorkshire; nevertheless, a clearance was
not effected at the close of business.

The show of samples of foreign ;heat on the stands was
by no means extensive. All good and fine descriptions were
held at previous rates, otherwise the quotations had a
downward tendency. The amount of business transacted
was very moderato.

Floatiag cargoes of grain were in slow request, yet no
quotable change took place in their value.
The show of home-grown barley on offer was moderately
large, and with foreign descriptions the market was exten-
eively supplied. Fine malting qualities, owing to the few
samples on the stands, commanded previous rates ; but in-
ferior produce was dull, and rather cheaper.
The malt trade was dull and prices were is to 2s per
quarter lower than on Monday last.
There was a fair supply of oats on cffer. The demand
was by no means active for any description, yet prices were
supported.
Beans, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly
at late rates.

Peas were in fair supply and slow request, at previous
currencies.

In the value of flour no change took place. The demand,
however, both for home and foreign descriptions was by no
means active.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
There was a large supply of town and country-killed
meat at these markets to-day. The trade, generally speak-
ing, ruled inactive, but good and prime beef and mutton
commanded high prices.

BOROUGH HOP.

The supply of hops on sale is very moderate. Prices of
all descriptions are well supported, but the demand for

port amounted to 106 bales from Dunkirk, 66 from Ham-
burg, 92 Ostend, 303 Bonlogne, 239 Antwerp, 23 Rotter-
dam, 72 Bremen, 50 New York, and 22 from Boston.
