THE F.LARKMTS. E

MARR.LAIN.TE.-MONDAY.
A quieter tone now prevails in the wheat trade owing to
the more pacific aspect of political affairs in the East.
English wheat came sparingly to hand; there was a slow •
demand, and had sales been forced less money must have fm
been taken. White is selling at 465. to 525. ; and red, 48s. to m)

495. As regards foreign wheat supplies were moderate, and
with a quiet trade the tendency of prices is in favour of
buyers. In some instances a decline of Is. per quarter le
noticed. Barley was In very moderate supply. Malting
produce was steady, but grinding was dull, and the turn
lower. Mat changed hands at previous currencies. Oats
were in moderate supply. There was a slow demand The
best old qualiiies were tolerably steady, but mast other aorta

Beaus and peas were quiet and unaltered. In the flour
market scarcely anything was doing, and quotations were
weak. •104
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. -MONDAY.
The cattle trade has ruled dull in tone. Supplies of stock
were large and in excess of requirements. From our own 43
grazing districts the receipts of beasts were on a limitecricale. ,
From Scotland the arrivals were mcderace, and those from
'reified large. Throughout the demand has ruled heavy, and
a decline ot 21. per bib has taken place in prices. For the
best Scots and crosses ss. 10d. to 6s. per Rb has been ac-
cepted. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and NorthamptOn-
shire we received about 1,600 ; from other parts of England,
250; from Raotland, 173 ; and from Ireland, 2.100. The foreign
side of the market was well supplied, chiefly with Tonning
stock, with some Spanish and Dutch. There was a drag.
gbag trade, at depressed quotations. In the sheep
pens there was a good snow. Business progressed
quietly, and the prices realised exhibited a decline of 2d_
per 81b. The best Downs and half-breds were disposed of
at 65. 104. to 7a. per Sib. Calves sold slowly, at drooping
prices. Pigs were quiet, at about late rates. Coarse and
