Only limited supplies of English Wheat, chiefly
ifi iii6or condition, have been on sale in the leading mar-
jrets, the demand for both red and white qualities has
ruled inactive, and in some instances a portion of the late
!advance in the quotations has been lost. The prospect of
fisteady arrival of an immense quantity of wheat from
ustralia, Chili, and the Black Sea ports, has, no doubt,
,rendered buyers very cautious in their operations.
;Miters, however, hold very moderate stocks. But whilst
there is every reason to anticipate a heavy influx of grain,
it is hardly to be presumed that increased purchases would
be made just now.
The arrivals of English wheat at Mark-lane; coastwise
and by land carriage, have been again limited, and mostly
in, poor condition. Good dry samples have sold slowly,
'but at full quotations. Inferior kinds have commanded
(very little attention, at barely late rates.
The fresh imports of foreign wheat have been on a Mode-
,rate scale. The show of samples has been good. The in-
quiry for most descriptions has been inactive, yet prices
,have been well supported.
_Good sound qualities of [flour have sold at extreme rates,
but inferior parcels have met a dull inquiry. The-arrivals
~of foreign have been limited.

We have no change to )aotieo in the value of barley of
• any kind. The trade may be considered healthy.
On the whole, the malt trade has ruled steady, at
,quite previous rates. The supply of malt has rather in-
,sreased.

The arrivals of oats having fallen off, the oat trade
has been steady, and the quotations have been well sup-
ported.

Moderate quantities of beans have changed bands at
about stationary prices. The supply of English has been.
limited.

All kinds of peas have met a slow sale, at late rates.
Of Indian corn, both red and white qualities have sold
on former terms.
