MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day ruled firm, and in several instances an advance of lA.
per quarter took place in prices. Spring corn of all descrip-
tions was firm, and the tendency of values, as regards good
and fine samples, was decidedly in favour of sellers. The
flour trade was firm at full currencies.

On the Continent the wheat trade is steady, and prices
are rather higher. Tho trade for spring corn rules firm.
Advices from New York state that the prices of wheat and
flour continue to rule high, and that the business doing
for export is very moderate.
Very moderate suplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad con-
sisted of 15,216 quarters of wheat ; 16,296 barley ;
52,175 oats ; 6,977 beans; 3,365 pease ; 9,126 linseed;
13,019 rape and Orlando; 10,431 maize; 50 sundry seeds;
227 sacks and 116 barrels flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Kent were very moderate. There were a
few samples of last year's produce on offer, of fine quality,
and the condition of the supply of now wheat was tole-
rably good. The trade was decidedly firm for all quali-
ties, and the best samples were held at an advance
in price of is. per quarter. Millers, however, showed no
disposition to operate freely, and sales, in consequence,
progressed slowly ; nevertheless the full prices of Mon-
day last wero realised, both for red and white samples,
selected produce being, in some instances, is. per quarter
dearer than on that day. • A fair clearance had been
effected at the close of business.
The supply of Continental wheat on the stands was
tolerably large, but with American produce the market
was very moderately supplied. The amount of business
transacted was moder Ste, and prices of all descriptions
ruled firm. Our quotations to-day show scarcely any
variation from this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand. Both
wheat and spring corn fully supported late rates.
The supply of English barley exhibited a falling off from
Monday last, but the show of foreign qualities was tolerably
large. Good and find malting produce was scarce and
changed hands at very full prices, otherwise the barley
trade was quiet on former terms.
Malt was in steady request, and fine samples were rather
dearer.

The supply of oats on sale was somewhat extensive.
For nearly all qualities there was a steady demand, and
prices were 6d per quarter higher than on Monday last.
English beans worn a short supply, and the trade ruled
firm, at fully late rates. For foreign qualities (of which
there was a fair supply on offer) there was a steady de-
mand, at full prices.
Peas changed hands at fully last Monday's currency.
The show of samples was very moderate
The flour trade was firm, and last Monday's quotations
were well supported. Barrels continue in short supply, and
are held at relatively high rates.
