THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—MONDAY.
At Mark-lane to-day, the grain trade has been quiet. The
attendance of millers has bemi unshed. In English wheat
scarcely anything has been doing, but owing to the paucity of
samples prices have not given way. Had, however, sales been
forced, lower prices must have been accepted. Foreign wheat
has been in moderate supply. Throughout the demand has
been inactive, and occasionally's. per qr. less money has been
accepted. Very little barley has been on offer; the trade has bees
quiet, on former terms. Malt has changed hands, at late rates.
English oats have been scarce ; and the supply of foreign has
been only moderate. There has been a good demand at
steady currencies. Maize has been purchased to a inoderati,
extent, at previous currencies. Beans have been very firmly
held, and have redised extreme quotations. Peas have bees,
in request, and have been quite as dear. The Hour trade has
been quiet, but steady.

MARK -LANK—WEDNESDAY.
The attendance at Mark-lane to-day has been limited,
owing to the attraction at Epsom, and business has conse-
quently lseen also limited. English wheat has been very
sparingly offered, hut there has been a moderate supply of
foreign. The demand has been quiet, at late rates. Sear.:ely
anything has been doing in barley the show of which has
been short, .d prices have been unaltered. Malt has Ashl
at previous currencies. English oats have been scarce, but
there has been a fair show of foreign.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.—MONner.
The imports of foreign stock into London last week con-
sisted of 11,186 bead. In the corresponding week last sear
we received 16 147 ; in 1872 11,760 ;in 1871, 17,105 and in
1870, 17,868 head. Business' in the cattle trade to-day has
not been brisk, but a firmer tone has nevertheless prevailed,
and prices have had a hardening tendency. The number of
beasts on offer from our 0r... grazing districts has been mos
derate, and mostly of fair quality. The demand has bean
steady, and --- • Id. r
