MARKETS—This Day.

111 ARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled firm, and, in some instances, good and fine
old samples were rather dearer than in the previous week_
Spring corn of all descriplions•changed hands at full quo-
tations. The flour trade was steady at quite previous rates.
On the Continent the corn trade generally is firm, and
prices have an upward tendency. At New York, however,
breadstuffs have commanded very little attention for ex-
port.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 28,159 quarters of wheat, 3,198 barley, 136,444 oats,
1,600 beans, 429 peas, 900 rapeseed, 658 sundry seeds, and.
1,108 sacks of flour. _

Fresh up to our market to-day the total amount of old
and now English wheat was moderate. Last year's pro-
duce was of prime quality, and the supply of new wheat
came to hand in fair condition. The trade for all qualities
was decidedly quiet. Factors commenced business by
demanding higher prices both for red and white qualities,
but wore eventually compelled to accept the rates of Mon-
day last in order to effect sales. At those prices a fair
amount of business was transacted. Our quotations, there-
fore, are without material variation from those of this day•
so'nnight, but as regards the best old wheats they were the
turn higher.
The market was fairly supplied with Continental wheat,
but somewhat scantily with American produce. As regards
Prices the trade was firm, but the demand for nearly all
qualities ruled far from active. Last Monday's currency,
however, was well supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full
(potations. _ _

The supply of new home-grown barley on sale was
limited; prices ranged from 30s to 35s per quarter. For
foreign barley tho trade was firm, at full prices.
Malt fully supported previous rates. A fair business
was transacted.

There was a very large supply of oats an offer, and the
trade, in consequence, ruled slow, but without leading to
any change of importance in prices. As compared with
Monday last, the quotations exhibited a decline of 6d. per
quarter, chiefly in Russian produce.

Beans were in short supply, and lato prices were sup-
ported. _ .

The market was scantily supplied with peas, in which
business was done at late rates.

About an average business was tran o.cted in flour, at
last Monday's currency.
