MARK LANK.-MONDLY.
Business at Mark-lane is very moderate. There is a thin
attendance, and transactions throughout are limited.
English wheat has been in short supply. Nevertheless, the
demand has been without activity, and prices rule about We
same as those previously current. With reference to foreign
wheat, the supply is only moderate, but sufficient for the
inquiry, which ruled inactive on former terms. In the bar-
ley trade very little business has been doitlg, either as regards
malting or grinding produce. Quotations are unaltered.
Malt has been dull, at late rates. With oats the market has
been less freely supplied. The trade has been steadier, at
full currencies. Maize, with a quiet trade, is unaltered in
value. Beans and pets steady in value, but demand not
active. Flour dull. Country sorts unaltered. American
barrels drooping.
MARK-LANE.-WEDNESDAT.
At Mark-lane today the grain trade was quiet. English
wheat was in short supply, an..l sold slowly, at about late
rates. Foreign wheat, of which a moderate quantity was on
offer, changed hands quietly, at previous quotations. A
moderate supply of barley was on the stands The inquiry
was limited both for malting .and grinding produce, at pre-
vious currencies. Malt was dull, at late prices. Oats were
In moderate supply. The demand was steadier, at previous
currencies. Maize was in slow request, on former terms.
Beans and pees were quiet, and unaltered. In flour very little
was doing, at last week's prices.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.-MONDAY.
The cattle trade without being active was steady. Sup-
plies were not large, hence quotations remained firm. Deli-
veries of English beasts have been only moderate. The
general quality of the show was middling, still good animals
were exhibited. As regards trade, business was not briak,
but there was a firm tone apparent, and quotations were weU
supported. The best Scots and crosses made 6s. 4d. to es, 6d,
per Illbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire
we received about 1.800 head, from Lincoln 800, from other
parts of England 500, from Scotland 300, and from Ireland
120 head. The foreign side of the market has been
sparingly supplied with beasts, the supply being
made up of receipts from Denmark and Holland,
The trade has been quiet but steady at full prises,
In the sheep pens only a small supply of stock was
exhibited. Steadiness prevailed, but business was not
brisk. The best Downs and half-breds were disposed of at
7s. 2d. to 7s. 45. per 81b. Calves have been in short supply
and fair request at full prices. Pigs quiet. At Deptford
there were about 160 beasts and a fair number of sheep.

SEED.
LONDON, Monday, January 8 -No new English Cloverseed
yet appears, and the best qualities of French were again
higher, and all other sorts, white or red, brought full prices.
Good and fine Trefoil realised fully as much money, with
an improved demand. White and brown Mustardseeds were
unchanged in value, not much passing in either sort.
Foreign Tares were in steady request at enhanced values.
Canaryseed was dearer, with a fair sale. Dutch Hempseed
realised the prices of last week.
PROVISION.
LONDON, Monday, Jan. 3.-The arrivals last week from Ire.
land were 562 firkins Butter, and 3,425 bales Bacon 'and from
foreign ports 17,829 packages Butter, and 1,627 bales Bacon.
The Butter market ruled very slow last cv, ek, as usual at
this period of the year, and with the continued mild wet
weather also against business, prices were in favour of
buyers, and best Dutch declined to 130 s; to 1345. The Bacon _
market ruled firm; a steady business transacted without
charge In the value of Irish, but Hamburg advanced 2a, '
the supplies of it being short. . . .
