THE MARKETS.

MARIK.LANE.—MMIDAT.
A rather firmer tone has been noticed at Atark.lane to-
day, but business has not been extensive. Eughsli wheat
has come sparingly to hand, hut the quality of the samples,
although still indifferent, has been rather better. The trade
has been quiet, but rather firmer, at about late rates. The
show of foreign wheat has been tolerably good. Sales have
progressed quietly, but prices have been steadier. There
has been a moderate supply of barley on the stands. Malt-
ing produce has been firm, and other sorts have been steady
in value. Malt has been firm and quite as dear. There has
been a fair show of oats on the stands. the trade has been
steadier, and prices have been maintained. Beans have
changed hands slowly on former terms. Peas have been
quiet, but unaltered. Maize has been inactive. Not lunch
business has been doing iii flour, at late prices.

MARK -LAN E.—WEDNESDAY.
The grain trade today ruled quiet. The supply of English
wheat was short, while the arrivals from abroad were only
moderate. Sales were effected quietly, at about previous
quotations. Fine dry samples, however, were scarce, and
realised extreme prices. Malting barley was dealt in more
cautiously on former terms; grinding qualities were withont
change. Malt was steady both in value and demand. Oats
and Maize were purchased to a limited extent at the rates
current on Monday for sound samples. Beans and Peas
changed hands slowly, at drooping prices. Flour was quiet,
but without material change in value.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY.
In the cattle trade to-day there has been a continuance of
quietness. A moderate supply of beasts has been on sale,
in excellent condition. The demand for all kinds has been
inactive, and prices have given way fully 2d. per bib. The
best Scots and crosses have occasionally made 55.
but this quotation hall been quite exceptional, the general
top price being 50. 24. per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,5 u
Scots and crosses ; from other parts of England 24) varione
breeds, from Scotland 174 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland
about 100 oxen. About an average supply of sheep has
been in the pens. Shorn sheep have sot commanded much
attention, but there has been a fair flemsed for sheep in the
wool The best 'Downs and half broils in the wool have made
6s. 10d. to 7s. ; dltto-clipped, Ss. nil. to 5s bd. per bib A
few lambs have been dispnsed of, at fully be per bib. Calves
have ,hanged hands quietly, at about late rates. Pigs have
