MARKE TS. —This day.

MARK-LANE.

There was a poor show of English wheat here to-day,
and most of tho samples came -to hand in but middling
condition. For all kinds the demand was in a sluggish
state, at prices about equal to Muuday.
The fresh imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 9,000
qrs., but the supply was not on the increase. Sales pro-
gressed slowly; nevertheless, prices were supported.
Floating cargoes of grain produced quite as much money
as last week.

The quantity of English barley brought forward was
only moderate ; but 16,670 qrs. of foreign having been
reported, the trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
There was a slow inquiry for malt, at previous rates.
The supply was good.
Oats moved off steadily, at full quotations. The quan-
tity brought forward was moderate.
Beans and peas were unaltered in value.
The flour trade was very quiet.
