Although the imports of oats have been very liberal, the
oat trade ruled active, at an advance in the quotations of
from lid. to ls. per quarter. The demand for beans ruled
steady, and prices advanced is. per quarter.
No change took place in the value of peas, for which
the inquiry was far from active.
Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at the late
improvement in value.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
moderate for the tittle of year.
From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning, were seasonably extensive, and in
excellent condition. For all breeds, the demand was in
a very sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations of
fully per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected.
The bullock arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, amounted to 2,500 Scots and short horns;
from other parts of England, 590 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, 425 horned and polled Scots.
We were well supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep,
but there was a falling off in their general weight and con-
dition. The-mutton trAle ruled steady, but by no means
brisk, at last Monday's currency. The best old Downs,
in the wool, realised 5s per Blbs.
The lamb trade was rather firmer than on Friday, at
that day's decline in price ol 4d per 81bs. The show of
lambs was large.
Although the supply of calves was but moderate, the
veal trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline in value of
21 per 81bs.
The pork trade was dull, at last week's currency. We
received 210 sheep, by sea, from Ireland, last week.
