MARKETS.—This day.

MARK LANE.
The country markets held on Saturday were scantily
supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly on lower
terms. Barley was held at full prices. In all other kinds
of produce the transactions were on a very moderate scale.
The continental markets have been far from active for
wheat at previous quotations to a slight decline. Others
have ruled inactive. At New York prices continue to give

way.
The imports of foreign and colonial produco into London
last week amounted to 21,401 quarters of wheat, 320 bar-
cy, 14,161 oats, 932 beans, 3,574 peas, 4,535 tares, 9,629
linseed, 430 sundry seeds, and 9,638 sacks of flour.
The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good.
Owing to the favourable weather for the growing crops,
and the downward movement in the value of wheat in the
provincial markets, held on Saturday, the trade was very
dull, anu the quotations wore 2s per quarter lower than
on Monday last. Even this decline attraeted but few
buyers, and at the close a portion of the supply was left
undisposod of.
With foreign wheat the market was fairly but by no
means extensively supplied. The trade was heavy, and
in prices a decline of ls. per quarter took place.
Malt was very dull, and prices had a drcoping tendency.
Oats, the supply of which was very moderate, ruled
firm, and prices were rather higher than on Monday.
The little English barley was on the stands; but there
was a moderate show of foreign produce exhibited for
sale. Most qualities were in fair demand at late rates.
Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm, at
full quotations.
Peas supported the rates of Monday last, with a fair
demand. The show of samples was very moderate.
The amount of business transacted in seeds was very
moderate, at late rates.
The flour trade is very dull.

Cakes were in but moderate request ; nevertheless, prices
ruled firm.
