MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Trade in the country markets held on Saturday was quiet
in the extreme. Both in wheat and spring corn the busi-
ness transacted was very moderate, and, with the excep-
tion of oats, which exhibited firmness, the tonde:Ty of
prices was decidedly in favour of buyers. There was a
limited demand for flour at late rates.

On the Continent the wheat trade is dull on rather easier
terms. Oats are in request for export, but other kinds of
spring corn are very inactive. At New York there has
been a fair demand for wheat, flour, and maize for ship-
ment. . .

Only moderato supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
consisted of 3,389 quarters of wheat, 3,570 barley, 10,299
oats, 180 rye, 582 beans, 400 peas, 66 tares, 4,293 linseed,
7,574 rape seed, 2,700 maize, 200 sundry seeds, 1,598 sacks
and 107 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were but moderate. The condition of the
produce was very inferior. The trade for the finest samples
ruled inactive ; nevertheiess, the supply:of good and dry
produce on the stands was disposed of at the prices of
Monday last. Damp produce was very unsalable, and a
considerable proportion was left unsold at the close of
1314 I business.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. The trade
for all descriptions ruled quiet on former terms.

Malt was dull at about stationary prices.

Tho supply of oats on sale was only moderate. The
trade in consequence was decidedly firm, and in some in-
stances rather higher prices were demanded.
With beans the market was less extensively supplied.
The trade was steadier than on Monday last ; nevertheless,
the business done was at that day's decline in the quota-
tions.

-----
Grey peas were dull at fully the late reduction in prices.
White peas moved off slowly at late rates. For other
kinds the trade was quiet.

The flour trade was very quiet ; the business done both
in English and foreign qualities was limited, at the rates
current ou Monday last.

business was transacted, and the quotations were next to
nominal. Cakes were steady, at full currencies.

WOOL.

Owing to the continuance of high rates for accommoda-
tion the business doing in all kinds of wool is very mode-
rate. Prices, however, on the whole, are steadily sup-
ported. The imports into London last week wore 621 bales
from Algoa Bay, and 360 bales from Odessa.

the Court against him.
Mr. Cole said he would take the rule notwith-
standing.
