A very moderate business was transacted in wheat in the
country markets held on Saturday. Prices, however, on
the whole, ruled firm, and they were without material
change from the previous week. Good and fine malting
barley moved off steadily, at full quotations. Most other
articles were in slow request at about stationary prices.
At New York, a heavy fall has taken place in the value
of wheat and flour; but the export has not increased. On

The arrivals of wheat fresh up to our market to-day from
Essex and Kent, both coastwise and by land carriage,
were small. The condition of ithe produce was on the
wlio'e tolerably good, and several samples were of fine
quality. Although the show of samples on the stands was
limited, the trade for all qualities was in a sluggish sate;
At the commencement of business factors endeavoured to
realise more money than on Monday last, but in order to
effect sales they were eventually compelled to accept that
day's rates, and at those prices a clearance was effected.
The market was well supplied with granaried samples if

as a rule, operated to a limited extent, and the total amount
of business transacted was very moderate, at last Monday's
currency.

In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly, yet
no change took place in prices.

There was a fair average supply of barley on the stands,
Good and fine malting parcels, however, were scarce, and
such commanded full prices, having sold somewhat readily.
Inferior barley, however, was dull, at fully the late decline
in the quotations.

Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at late rates.
There was a good supply of oats on sale. The trade was
by means active; nevertheless, a fair business was trans-
acted in most descriptions, and prices ruled firm.
The supply of beans on sale was very moderate, The
trade, however, was slow, at the late fall in prices.
Peas were in limited supply, and the trade ruled firm, at
full quotations.

For flour there was a moderate demand, and last Mon,
day's currency was steadily supported.

There was a largo supply of foreign stock on sale here
to-day. Included in the supply ut beasts was a large num-
ber of stores, and the general quality of the foreign stcck
was very middling. The trade was dull, on easier terms.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were somewhat in excess of Monday last, but the
general quality of the supply was by no means prime. For
good and prime Scots, crosses, &c., there was a steady de-
mand, at full prices ; otherwise the beef trade was dull, and
the quotations declined 2d per Blbs. The top quotation for
beef was 5s 4d per Blbs.
From 'Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,900 shorthorns, sc. ; from other parts
of England 1,000 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 31
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers.

There was an increased supply of sheep on sale, compared
with Monday last. Most breeds, however, were received
in but middling condition. Good and prime Downs and
half-breds moved cff slowly, at barely last Monday's cur-
rency; but for all inferior breeds the trade was dull, at a
decline in the quotations of 2d per 81be. The top figure for
mutton was 5s 6,1 per Sibs.

The suppl jt of calves on sale was moderate, and the trade
was duil, at 4d beneath last Monday's prices, the top quota-
tion being 5s par Blbs.

Prime small pigs were firm in pica, but for large bogs
he trade was dull, at barely late rates,
