MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was quiet. Selected produce, however, was firm
in price, whilst in the value of secondary and inferior
wheats no material change took place. The spring corn
trade was decidedly firm, and previous quotations were
well supported. In flour an average business was tran-
sacted, at full currencies.
On the continent the wheat trade is somewhat inactive,
but without leading to any particular change in prices.
Spring corn, however, continues firm. Advices from
New York state that an increased amount of business had
been transacted in wheat for export.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week was small. The imports from abroad amounted to
22,601 quarters of wheat, 21,909 barley, 68,355 oats, 31
beaus, 40 peas, 20 tares, 20,266 linseed, 2,520 rapeseed,
2,565 maize, 60 sundries, 651 sacks and 1,807 barrels of
flour.

A very small supply of home-grown wheat was received
fresh up to our market to-day. The demand, however,
both for red and white qualities was in a sluggish state ;
yet factors were firm, and both Kent and Essex produce
was held at quite last Monday's currency. At the close of
business, a total clearance had not been effected ; never-
theless, previous quotations were supported. The condition
of the produce was good.
The supply of American wheat on sale was small, but
the market was moderately supplied with continental pro-
duce. A large proportion of the latter, however, was of
but middling quality. For good and prime foreign wheats
there was a steady demand, and prices ruled firm ; other-
wise the trade was quiet at last Monday's currency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at late
prices.

The supply of barley on the stands was chiefly confined
to foreign produce, which was chiefly of very middling
quality. The few good and fine parcels on offer sold at
fully late rates ; but in inferior qualities sales progressed
slowly on former terms.
Malt was in fair demand at full prices.
There was a good supply of oats, chiefly foreign, on
offer. In most qualities a full average business was trans-
acted at4,Friday's prices, or at a decline from Monday last
of 6d yer quarter.
The few beaus on sale were mostly disposed of, and
they realised the rates current on Monday last.

Peas, which were in short supply, moved off steadily at
full quotations.

Most descriptions of flour, both English and foreign,
were in fair request at quite previous rates.

market for all qualities being quite devoid of activity. Tho
tendency of prices is :decidedly in favour of buyers ; but
the only quotable change to report is a fall of about Id per
lb in the value of inferior qualities. Long wools are tole-
rably firm in price. In colonial wool, by private contract,
a very moderate business is doing at late rates. Last
week's imports were 15,592 bales from New Zealand, 4,793
Adelaide, 1,323 Melbourne, 6,279 Sydney, 1,572 Hobart
TOwn, and 1,996 from Algoa Bay.
