MARKETS.—This day.

MARK-LANE.

Our market, to-day, was very scantily supplied with
English wheat. The sale for all kinds, however, was very
inactive, at about Monday's currency.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stand. As the attendance of buyers was limited, sales
progressed slowly, at late rates. The imports are large.
Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry.
Both English and foreign barley was a dull inquiry, at
about stationary prices.

Malt realised former terms, with a moderate inquiry. The
supply was good.

The show of foreign oats was large, and all kinds met a
dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
Beans and peas commanded extreme rates, owing to
their scarcity.
No change took plate in the value of flour.

SUNDAY SCHOLARS' OFFERING ON BEHALF OF
THE HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON AND THE ALBERT
ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Great preparations are in progress for
a large gathering of Sunday-school children to sing in the
Handel Orchestra of the Crystal Palace on some day
in the month of August nest. The children who
will take part in the concert will be selected from
all the principal Sunday-schools in the metropolis,
who with their teachers will number about 6,000
singers. As so large a number of Sunday schools,
with the congregations to which they belong, will
bo interested in this delightful movement, it is anticipated
that the attendance at the Crystal Palace will be one of
the largest of the season. The programme will be
selected by a committee of gentlemen, on whose judgment
every reliance can be placed, and only that kind of music
will be sung which can b e introduced with propriety on
such an interesting occasion.

KINROSS.—SINGULAR MORTALITY AMONG SWAL-
Lows.—Yesterday morning large numbers of swallows
were found lying dead and dying in various places in this
neighbourhood. It is thought that the very cold weather
which has prevailed for several days has been the cause of
this singular mortality
