MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled firm, and an advance of I.s. to 2s. per qr.
took place in prices. The demand for spring corn, although
by no means active, was steady at full quotations. The
flour trade was quiet on former terms.
On the continent the wheat trade is firm, and prices are
on the advance. Spring corn has ruled steady at full
quotations. The trade for wheat and flour at New York,
however, is dull on easier terms.

Linseed, the growth of the East Indies, owing to the
active demand for oil for export to America, was in request
on rather higher terms. Rape and oilseeds were also
firmer, and commanded more money. In other seeds sales
progressed slowly at about late rates.
Cakes commanded morn attention, and prices were
rather higher than on Monday last. _

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week were very moderate. The imports from abroad con-
sisted of 20,684 quarters of wheat, 15,617 barley, 6,6025
oats, 2,300 rye, 1,129 beans, 3,123 peas, 5,696 linseed,
19,320 rape and oilseeds, 7,341 maize, 351 sundry seeds,
and .1,017 sacks of flour. _ _

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat wore very moderate, but the condition of tho
produce was good. Owing to the position of affairs in
Germany factors were firm in their demands ; an advance
of is. per qr. was realised; but at this improvement sales
progressed slowly, and the whole supply was with diffi-
culty disposed of.

The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat
The trade was firm for all descriptions, and although the
amount of business transacted was very moderate, prices
were is per qr higher than on Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and wheat was
rather dearer than on that day se'nnight.

there was a good show of foreign parcels on the stands.
On the whole, the trade was steady at full currencies.
In malt only a moderate business was transacted at late
rates. _ _

all qualities was very dull, and a further decline of Gs. per

tossing steadily, but without activity. The principal
buyers are French, the aggregate purchases for export to
France up to the present time having amounted to two-
thirds of the supply brought forward. Yorkshire manu-
facturers are operating with great caution, owing to the
financial embarrassments in several quarters, whilst Ger-
man houses—in consequence of the greater probability of
war—are confining their purchases to the narrowest limits.
The fall in prices from last series varies from I.d. to 3d.
per lb. Privately, the English wool trade is dull at barely
late rates.
