MARKE7 S-7 HIS DAY.

CORN.
The trade throughout wears rather a dull aspect, with
less buoyancy in prices.

The country markets are generally quiet, and in some
cases the turnhlower.

Tho floating trada is less active, and prices barely so
strong.

At Mark-lane to-day the attendance was small, and the
demand slow for most articles, but without any pressure
to sell.

English wheat, of which supplies are light, moved off
slowly at about Monday's rates.

Foreign wheat hung on hand, but sales wero not forced,
and quotations remained nominally the same as on Mon-
day.

The flour trade was dull, and prices stationary.
Barley purchased sparingly for feeding purposes, supply
being fair, the quantity on passage rather liberal, and t here
also being a full supply of maize to meet the requirements
for feeding.

Beans and peas are steady in value and demand.
Oats move off quietly at Monday's rates for all descrip-
tions.

Malt remains without quotable change, but there is little
doing.

CARDIFF, 28th.—The steam coal trade of the
district continues steadily to improve, the favoura-
ble winds which have prevailed having been the
means of enabling a large number of vessels to ar-
rive and leave the port, thus placing the trade in a
more favourable position than it has been for many
weeks past. Clearances are being rapidly made,
and the exports will probably show a considerable
increase during the latter part of the month. There
are but few inquiries from some of the mail packet
stations, and until the stocks accumulated there
during the time of the Abyssinian war are consider-
ably reduced, little or no improvement is expected.
There is a fair amount of bu,iness being done with
the Mediterranean and Continental houses ; but
the same cannot be said with respect to the Baltic,
and the exports to that quarter during the present
season will undoubtedly be considerably less than
those of previous years. There is a revival in the
house coal trade, and shipments are being more
regularly made, but before any thing like a satisfac-
tory state of things is attained the demand will have
to largely expand. The iron trade of the district is
brisker than it has been for some time past, the ma-
jority of the hands being well employed, awl prices
having a tendency to harden.

RACE OF 100 YARDS BETWEEN A HORSE AND A
MAN.— A novel ►ace came off on Tuesday on the Okenden
cricket-ground, between Fred. Hound.sell, the pedestrian,
and a horse belonging to W. W. Burrell, Esci., 100 yards,
to start fair and even. On the word being given, the horse
made a false start, being checked in his spring by the per-
son holding the bridle, but on the second start he sprang
away, and in a few strides passed the runner, who
slackened his pace, making a poor race of it, the horse
winning by 20 yards, doing the distance in 7i seconds,
ridden by the groom, Boa Bleach.—Surrey 'Standard.
