MARKETS-THIS DAY.
MARK LANE.

There was a fair attendance of millers at Mark Lane
to-day, and the tone of the market was steady. The
business doing was very moderate, nevertheless prices of
all descriptions of grain were maintained. The supply of
English wheat on sale was limited, while that of foreign
was tolerably good. The enquiry for all quotations was
moderately active, at fully the rat( s current on Monday.
Barley was in fair supply and request, at previous quota-
tions. The malt trade ruled quiet, but unchanged in
value. There was a good supply of oats on offer, the
demand for which was steady, prices tending for higher
rates. Beans and peas were rather scarce, consequently
sales were effected to a moderate extent on former terms.
Flour was quiet in demand, but firm in value.
