(FROM OUR OWN REPORTRR.)

• MARK-LANE, MONDAY, March 13.
Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of wheat
freak Essex were small. The condition of the produce
beiag very middling dry samples met a steady male, and
were disposed of at the prices of Monday last. For
damp qualities the trade ruled hoary, yet no change
took place in prices. The whole of the eupply had not
beers disposed of at the close of business. The supply
of %reign wheat on the stands was but moderate. The
bsssen traneacted was ohiefly to meet the immediate
going of millers; nevertheless, holders were firm, and
lag Monday's prioes were supported. Wheat afloat
was in fair average request, at the late advance in I
priess, and most descriptions of spring corn, to arrive,
were held at fully late rates.
The supply of barley on offer was in a considerable
degree confined to secondary and inferior produce.
Elea fine samples, however, met • slow sale whilst the
trade for inferior produce was very dull. Prices were
unaltered from Monday last.
The malt trade was quiet, at late rates.
With oats the market was moderately supplied.
The trade, however, was slow, and whilst inferior
samples changed hands at rather easier prices, good and
floe qualities freely supported previous rates.
The supply of beans on sale was moderate. The
demond was in a sluggish state, and prices were rather
dreeping.
Peas were in short supply, and the trade was firm, at
full currencies.
About an average business was transacted in flour, at
la* rates. The market continues to be scantily supplied
with barrels.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, March 13.
