MARKETS.

LONDON QORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY.—The market lies
been moderately supplied with English wheat. There has been
a thin attendance of millers, and owing to the absence of North
Country buyers, and to the general inferiority of the produce,
the trade has ruled heavy, and the tendency of prices has been
in favour of buyers. The show of foreign Wheat has been good,
and in excess of requirements. Sales have progressed slowly,
and the quotations have had a drooping tendency. There has
been a moderate supply of barley on the stands. The
demand has been inactive, at about late quotations. Fine malt-
ing produce, however, being scarce, has realised extreme cur-
rencies. Breit has been quiet, on former terms. The market
has been fairly"supplied with oats. There has been less ani-
mation in the inquiry, and some difficulty has been experienced
in obtaining last week's currencies. Beans have been quiet, at
previous quotations. For peas the inquiry has been restricted,
at late rates. Maize has been steady, at full quotations. In
flour not much business has been doing, at previous cur-
rencies.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAV. This market has
remained very quiet slim) Friday, and without quotations
undergoing any change ; but the tendeney of prices is rather in
favour of buyers. There was very little disposition showen for

ness in progress being the usual daily wants to supply present
requirements. Should the cotton market continue easier, rather
more activity may be looked for.
