MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MONDAY.—At Mark-lane
to-day there was a thin attendance, and bUsiness progressed
heavily, at drooping prices. From Essex and Kent the receipts
of wheat have been limited. Factors demanded late rates, but
the trade was dull, and forced sales were only concluded on
lower terms. With foreign wheat the market was fairly sup-
plied. The transactions were restricted, and prices had a
drooping tendency. Fair average supplies of barley were on the
stands. Very little business was passing, and prices ruled in favour
of buyers. Malt was in limited request, at barely previous quota-,
tions. The market was well supplied with oats. The demand was
heavy, and prices were is. to is. 6d. per quarter lower than on
Monday last. Beans were dull and drooping in value. Peas
sold slowly, at barely late rates. For maize the demand was
inactive. Flour was dull, and foreign qualities were a shilling
lower.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAY.—This market
is again very dull, and prices are in favour of buyers. On Fri-
day last producers raised their prices all round, on the strength
of the news proving true that an armistice had been arranged.

unsettled state of France. The cotton market is also lower.
