MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.
There was less activity observed in the demand for wheat
in the country markets, held on Saturday, and the recent
improvement in prices was barely supported. Malting
barley, however, was very firm, and the trade for other
articles, including fl our, ruled tolerably steady.
The corn trade, on the Continent, has continued inactive,
but advices from New York report a further considerable
advance in the value of both wheat and flour.
Up:to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain
were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 62,249
quarters of wheat ; 9,246 barley; 18,248 oats ; 2,920
beans; 1,324 linseed; 2,564 rapeseed;
600 maize; 106
sundry seeds; 232 sacks ; and 25,130 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to market this morning the arrival of English
wheat was small, but the quality of the produce was, on
the whole, tolerably good. In both red and white parcels
sales progressed somewhat slowly, yet very little change
took place in prices, compared with Monday last.
Owing to the large importation last week, the show of
foreign wheat on the stands was extensive. Generally
speaking, the demand was in a sluggish state; neverthe-
less, a fair average business was transacted, at prices about
equal to those current this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
late currencies.
The supply of both English and foreign barley was much
restricted. Malting qualities moved off freely, and the
value of fine produce had an upward tendency; otherwise,
the barley trade was firm, and late rates were well sup-
ported.
Old, including good and fine new, malt, changed hands
steadily, at full quotations. Other kinds moved off slowly
on former terms.

We were scantily supplied with oats, and the trade
ruled firm, at an advance of 6d. per quarter.
Beans—the supply of which was small—were in steady
request, at last Monday's currency.
The value of peas was quite maintained, and the small
supply on offer was mostly disposed of.
In most kinds of flour a moderate business was trans-
acted, and prices ruled firm.

ment in the quotations. In deep grown qualities only a
moderate business is doing, nevertheless prices rule firm.
Colonial parcels are held at extreme rates, but the demand
is somewhat restricted owing to approaching public sales,
which will commence on the 13th inst. The quantity of
wool to be offered at these sales will amount to about 60,000
bales. Last week's import was 1,874 bales from Algoa Bay,
489 from Bremen, and 654 from Algiers.

TALLOW.
The tallow market is dull, and prices have a downward
tendency. To-day, P.Y.C. is quoted at 47s per cwt. on the
spot. Rough fat, 2s 4id per Blbs.
