There was a fair average show of foreign wheat ex.
granary as well as from ship-board. The amount of busi-
ness doing in most descriptions was far from extensive, yet
last week's currency was well supported.
We had some inquiry for floating cargoes for Belgium.
The show of barley was but moderate. Most descrip-
tions sold to a fair extent. In the quotations no change
took place.

The malttradewas rather fiat, on former terms.

The supply of foreign oats was large ; although a good
business was transacted in that grain, prices were barely
supported.

There was a moderate demand for beans, at very full
currencies.

Peas, the supply of which was limited, realised extreme
rates.

The flour trade was steady, but no change took place in
the quotations.

There was a very moderate show of foreign stock in to-
day's market, and its general quality was inferior.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
were rather limited, and there was aiolight falling off in
their condition. From the fact that a demand has sprung
up for shipment to France—about 100 beasts having been
sold last week for that destination, and about 60 head this
morning—the beef trade ruled very brisk, at an advance
in the prices paid on Monday laZt of from 6d to 8d per
81be. The best Scots Aold readily at 5s per Sibs, and a good
clearance was effected.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, .Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,700 Scots and short horns; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 500 Scots;
and from Ireland, by sea, 100 beasts.

We were but moderately supplied with sheep, in very
middling condition. The mutton trade was in a most
excited state, from the causes to which we have just
alluded, and the currencies were from 8d to 10d per 81bs
higher than on this day s'ennight. The best old Downs,
out of the wool, sold freely at fully 5s 6d per Blbs.

Lambs were in moderate supply and brisk, at 6d. per
Slbs above the rates of ,Monday last. The top figure was
7s 4d per 81bs.

We had a ready sale for calves, at 2d per 81bs more
money, and pigs moved off freely, at the same amount of
improvement.

Per Sibs to sink the offals.
