MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

In the country markets held on Saturday considerable
firmness prevailed in the wheat trade. Both red and
white qualities were held at enhanced rates, but only in a
few instances did factors succeed in making is per qr more
money. The spring corn trade was steady, and prices were
well supported. Flour changed hands to a fair average
extent at full quotations.

Advices from New York state that large shipments of
maize had been made to this country, and that good and
prime wheat moved off freely for export. The flour trade,
however, was less active. On the continent the trade for
wheat and spring corn tules firm.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 16,316
qrs of wheat, 3,307 barley, 69,723 oats, 1,942 beans, 898
peas, 6,344 linseed, 5,050 rapeseed, 695 sundry, and 336
sacks and 24,797 barrels of flour.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market. The condition of the
produce, however, was tolerably good. A few French
buyers were in attendance, but their operations were of a
limited character ; nevertheless, the trade both for red and
white produce was very firm, and superior wheats changed
hands at an advance in prices, compared with Monday last,
of Is. per quarter. At the close of business, a fair clearance
had been effected.

The movement in the value of foreign wheats was de-
cidedly in favour of holders. Good and fine Dantzic, as
well as red American produce (which was in moderate re-
quest on French account), realised an advance of Is. per
quarter, compared with Monday last. All other descrip-
tions fully supported that day's currency. The trade for
floating cargoes of wheat was very firm, and prices had an
upward tendency. For other kinds of grain the market
ruled steady. The supply of English barley was very
small, and but few samples of foreign were on the stands.
Both grinding and distilling qualities changed hands at
fully previous rates, but the demand was by no means
acttve. _

For malt then was only a moderate inquiry at late rates
The supply of oats was very large. Good and fine samples
moved off slowly at barely late rates. Inferior parcels were
very dull at the low prices current last week._

The show of beans on the stands was small, and the de-
mand ruled steady at quite previous rates.
Peas, although the supply on offer was much restricted,
were in slow request; nevertheless, prices were well sup-
ported.
Barrel flour was in moderate request at late rates. For
other kinds the trade ruled steady at full quotations.
