THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY•,

There are small arrivCOalsßNthis week of Engl Eish Grain, and large
again of Foreign Wheat, with a moderate return of Flour. coa3tW,",.
The trade for Wheat has become so excessively heavy, that altbonstP.
English parcels are offered at 25., and Foreign at 3s. to 4s. per quie /
et less than on Monday, scarcely any sales can be effected. 13 hai the
is dull, but not cheaper. The arrival of Foreign Oats, on Whie"
dury will probably be paid, has affected this trade, which is IL Petit
quarter cheaper than last reported. Flour continues very hea"
in sale.
