THE MARKETS.

MAE,K-LANE.-310NDAY.

The tone of the trade Mark-lane is rather stronger
but business is not active. English grain is in short tiupply.
Foreign oats are abundant; but other grain has not come
freely from abroad. English wheat was purchased to a
moderate extent at firm pnces, an advance of Is., however,
being asked. As regards foreign wheat the demand was
quiet. An advance of is. per qr. was demanded, but only
occasionally obtained. Flour met with a moderate amount
of attention, and was abut the same in value. In barley
nat much was done. Malting produce as well held, but
grinding sold slowly. For oats the inquiry was about the
same as on Friday, or 3d. dearer than on Wednesday. In
maize transactions were restricted, at the prices formerly
I current. Beans and peas sold at late prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.-MONDAY.

The cattle trade is quiet with a weak appearance. Sup-
plies are about the average, and are quite sufficient for re-
quirements. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing
districts were moderate, and those from Scotland slightly
more numerous. The Irish receipts were on a fair scale. A
slow trade prevailed throughout, and the tendency a prices
was in favour of buyers. The best Scots and crosses sold
Is. 65. to Is. Bd. per Sib. From the midland and home
counties we received 1,750, from Scotland 110, and from Ire-
land 700 head. The foreign side of the market was well sup-
plied. There were about 600 American, besides Danish. The
demand was quiet at late currencies. The sheep pens were
moderately well filled. With a limited demand prices
had somewhat drooping tendency. l'he best Downs and
half-breds sold at 6s. Bd. to 6s. 10d. per 81b. Calves and
