MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were
quiet for wheat, yet very little change took place in the rates
current in the previous week. All descriptions of spring
corn moved off slowly at late quotations. In flour a
limited business was transacted on former terms.
On the continent the corn trade is devoid of animation,
and the business doing for export is very moderate. Ad-
vices from New York stated that the trade, both for wheat
and flour, was dull, at drooping prices.
Last week's arrival of English grain was very moderate.
The import from abroad amounted to 22,825 quarters of
wheat, 10,281 barley, 65,544 oats, 315 beans, 1,533 peas,
130 tears, 761 linseed. 12,050 rape and oilseed, 985 maise,
10 sundry seeds, 136 sacks and 11,253 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Kent were very moderate. A fair pro-
portion came to hand in good saleable condition, and at the
close of the market this had mostly been disposed of, at
prices equal to those current last week. Inferior parcels,
however, met a dull inquiry, yet no quotable change took
place in their value, compared with Monday last.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied.
Dantzic and the best, American produce changed hands
slowly, on former terms ; otherwise the trade was very in-
active, but without leading to any alteration in the cur •
rency of this day se'nnig ht. _ _

In floating cargoes of wheat and other grain sales pro-
gressed slowly, at previous quotations.
_ _

The supply of English barley was very small; but there
was a moderate show of foreign parcels on the stands.
The trade was in an inaotive state ; nevertheless, prices were
fairly supported.
In the demand for malt there was no animation. The
quot+tions, however, ruled stationary.
With English, Scotch, and Irish oats the market was
scantily supplied. The supply of foreign descriptions on
offer, however, was very large. Good and fine qualities
met a fair sale, and prices were steadily maintained. Low-
conditioned parcels sold heavily, and, in some instances,
the quotations ruled the turn in favour of buyers.
The supply of beans was less extensive, but there was no
improvement in the demand, and prices were unaltered
from Monday last.

Pea&-the supply of which was small—moved off slowly
at late rates.

The supply of barrel flour was moderately large, and
sales were made cautiously at about previous quotations.
Other descriptions were in slow request, on former terms.
