week in November were 1,106,111 cwts. The secoud week in Mark 

 Lane opened on moderate supplies of English wheat, with good arri- 

 vals of foreign, two-tliirds of which were from Russia. Sales were 

 slow, but holders, by perseverance, obtained full rates. Foreign white 

 wheats held their own, but foreign reds were dull. Essex and Kent

 The French country markets showed a buoyant tendency. At Rotter- 

 dam the tendency was somewhat downward. Algerian granaries were 

 full of soft wheat, and holders were disposed to abate their expectations.

 first week in November amounted to 99,781 cwts. English flour was in 

 good supply in Mark Lane at the opening of the second week, but for-

 Paris flour-market tended upward, x^rices for consumption ranging from 

 33s. 4(7. to 35s. lid. per 280 pounds. 



Maize. — In Mark Lane small supplies kept prices too high for an 

 active trade. White American brought 38s. to 40s. per quarter ; ditto 

 yellow, 34s. to 37s. In Liverpool American, new and old, ranged from 

 36s. to 38s. Gd. per 480 pounds ; Galatz, 37s. 9d. to 38s. Some atten- 

 tion has of late been directed by English farmers to the importation of 

 this grain for stock-feeding.
