MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate, and most samples were received
in but middling condition. Even for trade qualities, how-
ever, the trade was slow, whilst damp produce was very
difficult of sale. As compared with Monday, no change
took place in prices.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was very
moderate. The trade, however, ruled inactive, but without
leading to any alteration in prices from Monday.
Floating cargoes of wheat commanded very little atten-
tion, even at the recent fall in the quotations. Spring
corn afloat was firm in price.

With English barley the market was very moderately
supplied. The show of foreign produce on offer was
tolerably large. The trade for all qualities was firm at
full currencies.

Malt was in slow request at late rates.
Oats were in moderate supply and steady request at full
prices.

For beans and peas—the supplies of which on sale were
small—the trade was firm at fully previous rates.
A moderate business was transacted in flour, and prices
ruled tolerably firm.
