MARK-LANE,

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was very firm, and an advance of is to 2s per
qr. took place in prices as compared with the previous
week. All descriptions of spring corn changed hands at
fully late rates. For flour 01 trade was firm, and prices
had an upward tendency. _ _ _

On the Continent the wheat trade is firm on higher
terms. Spring corn rules firm at full currencies. At New
York prices of wheat and flour have advanced, in conse-
quence of unfavourable accounts in reference to the crops.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week were very moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 21,402 qrs of wheat, 3,420 barley, 40,333 oats,
779 beans, 858 peas, 21,667 linseed, 2,200 rape and oilseeds,
2,447 sundry seeds, and 10 sacks of flour.
The arrivals of old home-grown wheat fresh up to our
market to-day were very moderate ; the show of new
wheats was limited. Owing to the unsettled state of the
weather and the unsatisfactory accounts at hand respecting
the progress of harvest-work, the trade was firm in the
extreme both for red and white qualities of last year's
produce, and prices were Id. to 2d. per quarter higher than
on Monday last. Millers, however, operated cautiously,
but at this advance, the supply of white, as well as a por-
tion of the supply of red, wheat was disposed of. Fine new'
red wheat was quoted at 475., and fine new white at 525.
per quarter.

With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup-
plied. The advance in the value of home-grown produce
induced factors to demand 2s. per quarter more money than
on Monday last for all descriptions. At this improvement
a tolerably extensive business was transacted. Old Baltic
wheats sold at high prices. Fine old Rostock wheat
realised 58s. to 60s. per quarter.

Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, at an advance
in price of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Spring corn, afloat,
held firm.

The malt trade was firm, and the late advance in prices
was well supported.

The'supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Most
descriptions were in fair average request at fully late rates.
Scarcely any home-grown produce was on offer.
The market was scantily supplied with beans. The trade
was firm, at full currencies.

Peas changed hands at fully late rates. The market was
scantily supplied.

The supply of barley on sale was limited, and consisted
almost entirely of foreign produce. The trade was firm,
and the quotations had an upward tendency.
The flour trade was very firm, and prices were on the
advance. English qualities advanced is. per sack. Foreign
sacks and barrels wore rather dearer. Town-made was
advanced 3d., or to 435. por 2801 b.
