MARIO T S.—This day.

Fresh up to our market to-day very little home grown
wheat was received. For both red and white parcels there
was a fair average demand, and the advance obtained on
Monday was established. The quality of the supply was
but middling.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Choice
Russian qualities moved off freely, at full prices. Inferior
sorts were dull, but not cheaper.

Agricultural seeds were in improved requegt. Linseed,
rapeseed, and cakes were dull.
