THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.
Notwithstanding the change in the weather and the
weaker tone reported from New York, the trade here has
not lost any portion of its firmness. The quantity of
home-grown wheat disposed of in the leading markets of
England and Wales during the first 21 weelis of the season
was 1,258,245 qrs, against 1,06,410 qrs in 1894-5, the
average price being 30s 9d, against 31s led per qr ; barley,
2,124,647, against 2,525,112 qrs, average 18s 9d, against
les 4d per qr. For English wheat the market has been
firm, with a tendency against the buyer, especially for red,
which was a shade dew er. Foreign wheat met with a
good sale at late curreiacies ; East Indian sorts about 6d
dearer on the week. Flour was quiet, but firm at fall
prices. Barley was in demand, and English qualities made
rather more money. Oats in fair demand at full quotations.
Maize realised steady prices, with fair inquiry. Beans and
Peas quiet on firmer terms. Cakes were firm. Cottonseed
cakes very scarce, and fulls- 10 per cent. dearer. Linseed
cakes rose 2s 6d to 7s 6d per ton.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
n le total imports of foreign stock into London last week
amounted to 6923 head. In the oorresponding period last
year we received 5457 head • in 1894, 10,.,29 ; in 1883,
13,735; in 1982, 12,593; 1881, 3268; in 1830, 2695; in
1879, 0439; in 1378, 12,075; in 1877, 8533 ; and in 1876,
11,026 head. At Liverpool were received 281 beasts from
Baltimore, 183 beasts from Boston, and 270 beasts from
New York; and at Southampton 17 beasts and 5 calves
from Jersey and Guernsey. There was nothing done in
the cattle trade. kusiness was throughout restricted,
and the tendency rather weak than otherwi4, but
no particular change occurred. Fresh supplies of
English beasts were short, but were equal to re-
quirements, which were at no lime pressing. The demand
lacked activity, and prices were with difficulty maintained.
The best Scots and cros- es made 4s 10.1 to 5s per 81b. On the
foreign side of the mark et supplies of beasts were not
large, and the demand was inactive at barely late rates.
The sheep pens were fairly well filled. there was a quiet
demand. Prime small Downs sod at 5s 6d per 81b., and the
top price of heavy breeds was about 5s 2d. Caves and pigs
were quiet at barely previous currencies. The following
are the quotations: Coarse and inferior beasts, 3s 6d to 4s;
second quality ditto, 4s to 4s 6d ; prime large oxen.

METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET.
The trade has been most unsat'sfactorv. With large
supplies, and with weather, both unfavourable (for business)
and unpleasant. there is a'complete stagnation throughout
the market. Quotations are •mly nominal, with few buyer
