MARKETS—( 2 his Day.)

MARK LANE.

There was a very poor show of English wheat here to-
day, coastwise and by land carriage. Tim attendance of
millers was limited, yet the few fine samples on offer were
readily disposed of at the extreme rates of Monday.
Damp qualities, however, were inactive, on former terms.
The supply of foreign wheat was extensive. Although
sales progreesed slowly, late rates were well supported.
In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing, at
about stationary prices.

There was a stoady inquiry for malting barley, at ex-
treme quotations. In grinding and distilling sorts very
ittle was passing.

Malt supported previous rates, but the sale for it was

inactive.

Oats moved off slowly, and the quotations were with
difficulty supported.

Beans, peas, and flour were unaltorod in value. Seeds
and cakes were very inactive.

BOROUGH HOP.

The trade for all kinds of hops has been without im-
provement. Even the finest pockets have been neglected,
whilst in inferior sorts next to nothing has been doing.
Prices are almost nominal.

ment; and Henry Cardock, 2d Regiment, wore promul-
gated to the troops at head-quarters yesterday morning.
