MARKETS—Tids Day,

MARK-LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were but mode-
rately supplied with wheat. The trade, however, ruled
quiet ; nevertheless, both red and white qualities changed
hands at full prices. The spring corn trade was steady, at
fully late rates. In flour, about an average business was
transacted, at previous quotations.

On the Continent a fair business is passing in most de-
scriptions of produce, at full currencies. At New York
the trade for wheat and flour is firmer, and prices have im-
proved.

But moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abrcad consisted of 13,576 quarters of wheat, 10,470 barley,
57,044 oats, 30 rye, 70U beans, 960 peas, 61 taros, 11,918
linseed, 26,896 oilseeds, 13,965 maize, 120 sundry seeds, 30
sacks, and 11,297 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to our market to-clay the arrivals of home-grown
wheat, coastwise and by rail, were but moderate. Most
samples, however, were received in good condition. Factors
commenced lusiness by demanding rather more money both
for red and white parcels of good and fine quality. Millers,
however, declined to operate except at the rates of Monday
last, end at that day's currency the bulk of the supply was
finally disposed of.
With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was
well supplied. The amount of business transacted was
but moderate. The market, however, both for American
and Continental produce, presented a firm appearance, and
last Monday's quotations were well supported.

Floating cargoed of grain were in moderate request, and
prices ruled firm. _ _

The supply of English barley on the stands was very
mderate—but the market was more extensively supplied
,:ith foreign produce. On the whole the trade was steady
at full quotations.
For malt there was a fair demand at late currencies.

The supply of oats on sale was large. Fur nearly all de-
scriptions there was an active demand, and the late advance
in prices was fully auppor ted.
Beans, the supply of which was small, changed hands at
extreme rates.

Peas ruled firm, at full quotations. The market was
scantily supplied with all descriptions.
In flour about an average business was transacted, at late
rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of each kind of foreign
stock on offer, here, to-day, but its general quality was very
middling. Sales progressed slowly, at about last week's
prices.
We were but moderately supplied with English and
Scotch beasts—but the arrivals from Ireland were on the
increase. Prime Scots, Herefords, Devons, &c., were
scarce, and in good request, at very full prices. Inferior
breeds, however, were dull, at last Monday's currency, A
few very superior Scots, &c., realised Os 2d, but the general
top figure for beef was Os per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.
shire, we received 2,500 ehort-horns, crosses, do. ; from
other parts of England, 900 various breeds; from Scot.
land, 50 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 300 oxen and
heifers.

The show of sheep was seasonably good as to number—
but most most breeds were in very middling condition.
Downs, half-breds, Leicester., &c., of primp quality sold
somewhat briakly, at extreme quotations. Otherwise, the
mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. A
few Downs and half-breds sold at 5s 6d per 81bs. The
more general figure. however, was 5s 4d per Sibs.
The lamb season is now closed. The few lambs in the
pens were mostly disposed of at mutton prices.
There was a slight improvement in the demand for
selves, at 2d per Blbs more money, compared with Thurs
d:-.7 last. Top price, 4s 10d per Sibs.
Pigs were in good supply, and steady request, at very
full prices. Small porkers realised 4s 8d per Sibs.
