LONDON MARKETS.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

MARK-LANE, MONDAY, AUGUST 20.

I FRoat KisosrosD AND LAY'S CliccULAn.)
The supply of English wheat was very small ;
the bulk of Essex was disposed of at fully two
shillings advance upon prices of this day week;
but Kent factors quoted no improvement. There
was a numerous attendance of country buyers,
but only retail business was done in foreign at
one shilling more money.

Barley was in good demand at a rise of six-
pence to one shilling.

Beans and peas were scarce and rather dearer.
The oat trade was firm; fine corn, sixpence
dearer. •

Norfolk flour one shilling per sack higher.
Aineriam barrels were hold for a similar
improvement.

MARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, August 17.—We had a very scanty show of
English wheat in to-day's market, coastwise and by
land carriage. lkdli red and white qualities were in
steady, though not to say active demand, at prices fully
equal to Monday. The imports of foreign wheat con-
tinue on a liberal scale—upwards of 27,0011 quarters
having room fresh to hand. Holders, however, were
very firm in their demands, and the quotations were
well supported. Floating cargoes of grain cominandeil
extreme rates. The barley trade was very firm, at
quite Slondsfa currency. Fine Ware malt was firm in
price ; but other kinds met a dull inquiry. The bed
oats were rather dearer ; but other kinds met • dull
inquiry. The best oats were rather dearer, and the
value of other kiwis was well supported, although over
39.000 quarters have come in. Beans and peas realiaed
extreme rates. The demand for them, however, was
far from active. Flour realised former teruia, with a
moderate Life.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Turns')Av, August IG.—Although only a nmderate I
supply of beast,' MAK on offer in to-day's market, the
demand for all breeds ruled heavy, and, in some
instances, prices were 21. per Abe. lower than on Mon.
day—the top quotation being rm. 44. per Silas. The
show ttf sheep was seasonably good. Prime &woe and
half-breeds were steady in value, but long-wooled cheep
wore a she& lower. We have to report a very inac-
tive inquiry for lambs, at barely previous rates. calveis
ssl oft heavily, at a decline- in value of from 2d. to
•11. per sibs. Pip and 'Mich cows dull, but not
cheaper.
