METROPOLITAN MARKETS.—FamAy.
CORN ERCRADIOC.—The supply of English wheat received
fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very mode-
rate Although the show of samples was limited, the demand
for all kinds ruled very inactive. The imports of foreign wheat
are under 3,r00 quarters. Good and line quail, les were held at
full prices ; but low and damp parcels were quite ueglected.
We had a fair demand for barley, at full currencies, but malt
met a very slow sale. The show of oats was only moderato. yot
the demand was heavy. In the value of beaus, peas, and tour
no change took place.
MaTROPOLITAN Cants Masser.-01:11) a moderate supply
of beasts was on offer here, to-day ; nevertheless, all breeds
moved off slowly. We were scaatily supplied with sheep, in
which very little business was transacted, at Monday,. currency.
Calves met a very dull ir gutty, at a fall in value of fully 2d
per tar'. Pigs and milch cows were quite neglected.
B motmtt HOP —There is only a moderate inquiry for the
best hops of last year's growth. Nevertheless, prices are sup.
ported. Medium kinds are steady, at full quotations ; otherwise
the trade is heavy. New Mid and East Kent Pockets, 70s to
