i THE MARKETS.

MARK-LA.NE.-MONDAY.
With easier New York prices the grain trade at Mark-lane
has become quieter, and quotations are hardly so firm. Only
moderate supplies of English grain have come to hand. The
show of foreign is not large. In English wheat dealings
were limiod. Fine examples about the same in value.
Fereignlwheat meets with less demand, and is is. per or.
lower. Ihe flour market has been quiet, at late rates. In
barley tiransactions were restricted at previous prices for
melting and grinding. Oats have been purchased to a mode-
rate extent at Friday's prices. In maize the inquiry was not
quite to good. Prices were about 6d. per qr. lower on the
week. Beans and peas sold at late currencies.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.-MONDAY.
The cattle trade has been dull, and prices have tended
against the seller. Supplies were about the average, and
was quite equal to the demand. A fair number of beasts
came from our own grazing districts, and. there was a
good show from Ireland, and a few Scotch. Salt's
