MAR7n3T NEWS.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

About an average time of year's supply of English wheat
—2,120 quarters—has been received up to our market this
week, coastwise ; but the arrivals fresh up to-day by land
carriage were small. Although the show of samples was
but moderate, the trade ruled heavy, and most kinds were
offered on rather lower terms.
Over 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to
hand. The trade was in a depressed state, and the quota-
tions were nominally the same as on Monday.
In floating cargoes very few transactions were reported.
There was a moderate inquiry for barley at late rates,
but malt ruled heavy.
The imports of foreign oats having been heavy, the oat
.rade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour as on Monday.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
To-day's market was rather extensively supplied with
beasts in very middling condition. All kinds moved off
slowly, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday of
2d per 8 lbs. Prime Down sheep were scarce, and in re-
quest at full quotations. Half-breds sold steadily, but no
improvement took place in their value. We were well
supplied with lanibs, and the trade for them ruled heavy,
at barely stationary prices. The supply of calves was ex-
tensive, and the veal trade ruled slow, at late currencies.
In pigs very little was doing.
Mulch cows were steady, at from 14/. to 20/. each, in-
eluding their small calf.
