In the country markets, held on Saturd selected par-
cels of English wheat were in moderate demand, at pre-
vious quotations, but other kinds were difficult of sale.
Malting and seed barley ruled firm, and prices were well
supported. Beans, peas and flour, however, changed hands
to a limited extent on former terms.
The wheat trade, on the continent, is steady, at late rates
Advice's from New York are to the effect that the demand
for wheat, flour and maize was less active, at rather lower
prices.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 7,569 quarters of wheat; 4,770 barley ; 6,424 oats ; 71
beans; 677 peas; 1,362 tares; 400 linseed ; 2,592 sundry
seeds; and 8,711 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng-
lish grain were small; however, with the supply left ever
from last week, the quantity exhibited for sale was mode •
rate, and the condition of the produce was tolerably good.
Buyers, both of red and white parcels, evinced great reluc-
tance in making sales, which could only be effected by sub-
mitting to a reduction in prices, compared with Monday
last, of two shillings per quarter. Even at this decline, a
clearance had not been effected at the close of business.

The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
moderately extensive, for the most part ex granary. Good
and fine Dantzic and the beat qualities of red American pro •
duce moved off slowly, at last Monday's quotations ; other-
wise the trade ruled heavy, and prices had a downward
tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request on former
terms.

Fine home. grown barley was in demand for seed and
malting purposes, at extreme rates, Other descriptions,
however, met a dull inquiry, yet the currency exhibited no
material change from this day se'ennight. The supply both
of English and foreign qualities was only moderate, and
fine parcels were diffcult to obtain.
Good and fine in at fairly maintained its value ; but in-
ferior parcels were a dull inquiry at barely late rates.
The supply of home-grown and foreign oats was small.
Sweet qualities ruled firm at extreme quotations; inferior
produce, however, was much neglected, and rates, in many
instances, were very low.
Beans for seed were in request at very full prices. Other
descriptions met a fair average sale, an i the quotations
were supported. There was a moderate supply on offer.
Peas were very scarce, and all descriptions commanded
extreme rates.

Both English end foreign flour sold slowly, yet no quot-
able change took place in prices, compared with Monday
last.
