THE MARKETS,

MARK-LANE.-MONDAY.
More steadines has been observed in the grain trade at
Mark-lane to-day, but owing to the thin attendance
transactions were by no means brisk. There has been a
small supply of English wheat oßering. The inquiry was ,
not active, but prices ruled is. per r. dearer than on Mon.
day last. Foreign wheat, of whinta fair supply has been on
offer was purchased to a moderate extent at an advance on
the week at is. per quarter. A moderate supply of barley
on offer. With a qaiet but steady trade, prices have been
unaltered. Malt met a slow and dragging sale, on former
terms. A fair supply of oats has been on offer. The trade
has been quiet, and business has ruled rather easier. Maize
has been purchased quietly, but supplies being short,
prices are steadier. Beans met a slow sale, at about tate ,
rates. Peas in large supply, and sold slowly, at barely
previous currencies. The flour market has been firm.
Country markets have advanced is., and American barrels 6d.
MARK-LANE-WEDNESDAY.
The grain trade at Mark-lane to-day has been quiet and
without feature. English wheat has been in short supply.
The demand has not been active, but the trade has been
steady at Monday's prices. As regards foreign wheat, the.
supply has been moderate. A fair business has been doing
at late rates. The market has been scantily supplied with
barley. Business has been limited, but prices have ruled

Oats in fair supply, chiefly foreign produce.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.-MONDAY.
There has been more steadiness observed in the cattle .
trade to-day. Supplies offering have been short, and with a
quiet, steady demand, prices have been hardening. The
receipt of beasts from our own grazing districts have been
moderate. A considerable falling off is apparent in the
arrivals from Norfolk, &c. the season for which may now be te
considered at an end. From Lincolnshire, &c. the supplies
were about equal to the average at this time of year, but ;
the condition has been rather various. Steadiness has been
the characteristic of the trade, and the prices realised have
been rather firmer than on Monday last, the best breeds ,

Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we have received about g

been more liberal. There have been about 350 Danish., 'i
401 Dutch, 30 Gothenburg, and 350 Spanish. Al
moderate business has been doing at about lids...,
rates. The sheep pens have been rather less freely Imp.'
plied. The business doing was tolerably good, and prices
steady, rather more money being paid for the best breeds.

The bine is climbing rapidly, and a good yield is every- 44
where expected. The market remains slow, and in the
absence of any great desire to force sales the decline in prices •
is not important. Foreign markets are reported quiet, at
late rates. The imports of foreign hops into London last
week consisted of 1 bale from Itoterdam and 10 from liam-
burgh.
