MARK-LANE.

There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the
country markets held on Saturday. The samples on sale
were moderattly good; nevertheless, prices were, in most
instances, supported.
Barley—the supply of which was large—moved off
slowly at about previous rates.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour were in fair average request
on former terms. _ .

At New York the price of wheat, flour, end maize con-
tinues to advance. According to our latest advises, how-
ever, the export demand was of very moderate extent, On
the Continent the trade remains firm.
The arrivals of wheat up to our market last week were
but moderate. Of other produce, however, the receipts
were tolerably large. The imports from abroad amounted
to 10,395 quarters of wheat, 8,482 barley, 18,696 oats, 69
beans, 938 peas, 365 tares, 8,936 linseed, 1,088 oilseeds, 83
sundry seeds, 730 sacks and 500 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals o
home-grown wheat were but moderate both from Essex and
Kent, The samples were for the most part received in but
middling condition. There were several buyers in the mar-
ket from Scotland, and all good and fine dry samples
changed hands to a fair extent, and last Monday's improve-
ment in prices was steadily supported. For damp produce
the trade was much less active than on Monday last, and
sales could only be effected by submitting to a decline in the
currency of ls. per quarter. A total clearance of the supply
was not effected.
The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
by no means extensive. Considerable importations having
been recently made direct to the millers, the trade presented
a very quiet appearance. In prices, compared with Mon-
day last, no alteration took place, but the tendency was cer-
tainly in favour of buyers,
Floating cargoes of grain were less active ; nevertheless
prices ruled stationary.
The supply of English and foreign barley was mode-
rately good. Generally speaking the trade was quiet, yet
previous quotations were supported. In good and fine
malting qualities, however, a fair average business was
transacted.

-.
The trade for malt was in a eluggish state, at barely late
rates.
There was an increased supply of oats on offer compared
with Monday last, the show of samples being moderately
pod. In nearly all qualities a fair average business was
transacted, and the quotations were steadily supported.
Beans came to hand more freely. Mazagans were less
active, and rather cheaper. Tick, harrow, and pigeon
qualities moved off slowly, at late prices.
Peas—of which there was an increased supply on offer—
sold slowly at late rates.
The flour trade was quiet. Barrels, however, supported
the recent improvement in their value, and English descrip•
tions ruled firm in price.
