understood that Kearney has gone to Sacra

MARK LANE GRAIN MARKETS
The Mark Lane Erpress of Feb. "a says
Flowing and sowing have proceeded despite
the varrtle W. a h r ralenatin g..sunshine, wind
or rains, which caused floods in the Midland
counties, Elsewhere fair area Of land has
been planted in wheat and beans. Vegetation
is still backward. Variable reports continue
relative to the condition of autumn sown
wheat Farm work is generally behind hand .
Cattle have thriven fairly, but the stock of
roots is rapidly diminishing, particularly tur-
nips, and sheep farmers are ANXIOUS. Reports
Of the condition of winter wheat in Scotland
are satisfactory. Potatoes have been steadily
rising owing to the demand for seed for Ire
land. English wheat in Mark Lane and the
provinces has been marketed in small quanti-
ties and unsatisfactory condition. Growers
were unwilling to accept thelower rates which
were offered and business consequently was
very dull. Sales were only practicable at de-
cline Of 6 pence to shilling per quarter. The
decline, however, principally affected badly
conditioned parcels. The imports of foreign
wheat into London have been moderate. The
demand has been chiefly Of a retail character,
as town mllers seem determined to hold off
until they see some better ground for existence
of present quotations in America than specu-
lativc enterprise. c. assumption, however, goes
on though speculation is absent; and business
though quiet, is steady. Prices have been
maintained except for Russian, for which the
sellers arc obliged to accept little less
money, though all the depression was re-
covered to-day, MONDAY. Maize is still scarce
on spot aud prices improved both in London
and Liverpool. Barley and oats quiet, but
for the latter an occasional advance of three
pence per quarter was obtainablc. Arri-
walls at port of call are moderate There hss
been a steady demand for wheat, chiefly for
the united kingdom, at an advance of a shil-
ling to shilling and six pence per quarter
Only one cargo of maize arrived, which
brought 27s Cd, being IN advance of nine cents
per quarter. Business in wheat for shipment
was limited, owing to the Indifference of buy.
ers, and the advance demanded by sellers.
Maize is in active demand, chiefly for Fcbru-
ary and March shipments at 25s to 25s Cd.
Sales of English wheat last week, 81, $50 quar-
tcrs, against &c $50 quarters at 37s I'd Der
