MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY.—At Mark-lane to
day the grain trade has been in a quiet state, but prices have
been without quotable change. From Essex and Kent the
arrivals of wheat have been on a limited scale, and the quality
has been rather indifferent. There has been a thin attendance
of millers, and the demand has been quiet for all qualities,
Prices, however, although drooping, have not been quotably
lower. With foreign wheat the market has been moderately
supplied. The transactions have been on a limited
scale, and prices have been with difficulty 'maintained,

quiet, on former terms. For oats, of which a moderate supply
has been on the stands, the inquiry has been restricted, and

and the demand for peas has been only to a moderate extent,

drooping. Flour has been in limited request, and the value
of foreign qualities has ruled in favour of purchasers,

whose execution can be delayed.
