MARKETS—This Day,

MARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets, held on
Saturday, ruled inactive, but prices of all good and fine
produce were steadily supported. For barley, the trade
was quiet, on former terms. Oats, beans, and peas were
steady. Flour was in fair average request, at late
currencies.

On the Continent, the wheat trade continues quiet; but
the export demand for most descriptions of spring corn
rules somewhat active. At New York, both wheat and
flour have further advanced in price. Notwithstanding
that the export demand is very limited.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were small. The imports from abroad amounted to
16,655 quarters of barley; 2,782 rye; 50 beans; 6,333
linseed ; 3,917 oil-seeds ; 4,970 maize ; 90 sundry seeds ;
275 sacks. and 1,000 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat from
Essex were very moderate, but there was an increased
supply of Kent produce on the stands. The total quantity
of English wheat exhibited for sale, however, was small,
whilst the general condition of the samples was but mid-
dling. There was a great want of activity in the demand
for all qualities ; nevertheless, all good and fine dry samples
steadily supported last Monday's currency. Inferior and
damp produce changed hands at about previous rates.
The supply of foreign wheat on sale was but moderate
Both for American and Continental descriptions the trade
was slow, yet no change took place in prices from Mon-
day last. . . .

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at about
stationary prices. _ _

With English barley the market was but moderately
supplied, but there was an extensive show of foreign pro-
duce on sale, for the most part of poor quality. Good and
fine malting qualities met a slow sale at barely late rates;
otherwise, the barley trade was dull at about previous
quotations.

The trade for malt was quiet, on former quotations.
The supply of oats on the stands, ex granary, was mode-
rate. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, and last
Monday's prices were with difficulty supported. No alte-
ration, however, can be made in the quotations.
Beans were in short supply, yet the demand for them
ruled inactive at late rates.

For peas the market was steady owing to tho small
supply on offer, and all descriptions commanded previous
rates.

In flour about an average business was transacted at
previous quotations. The market was scantily supplied
with barrels.
