THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-MONDAY.

Quietness prevails at Mark-lane. The improved reports
to hand respecting the completion of harvest have had a
weakening tendency upon pTices. Supplies of English grain
were short, but Oa, was a lair show of foreign wheat.
English wheat was in quiet request at about Friday's
prices. For foreign wheat there was not much demand
at about late rates. Flour moved off slowly, on prsyious
terms. Barley met with less attention, and grinding
samples were lower to sell. Oats were purchased to a
moderate extent, at late rates. Maize was in fair demand,
and was quite as dear. Beans and peas sold at last week's
prices.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY.

The cattle trade has been quiet in tone, with a tendency
towards weakness, but with no particular change. Supplies
were about the same as usual. From our own grazing
districts the receipts of beasts were moderate, but
those from abroad rather short. There was a fair show
from Ireland. Transactions were on a limited scale, at
barely the rates previously current. The best Scots
and crosses sold at ss. Gil. to ss. 80. per Sib. From
the midland and home counties we received about 1,600,
from Sootland 57, and from Ireland 500 head. On the
foreign side of the market were a few American and some
Danish beasts, which sold slowly, at about late rates. The
sheep pens were only moderately well filled There was a
limited inquiry at previous currencies. The best Downs and
half -breds made 6s. 10d. to is. per Sib. Calves and pigs were
disposed of at late prices. At Deptford there were about
2,900 beasts and 8,000 sheep. The quotations were :-
