the arrivals.fresh up to-day, by land carriage, being small,
the show of samples of both red and white was very limited.
For all kinds the demand ruled active, at, in most instances,
a further advance in the quotations of fully is per quarter.
A steady business was doing for forward delivery, at the
same amount of imnrovement.
Only 2,190 quarters of wheat have arrived from abroad.
The supply ex-granary was very moderate, and the trade
ruled somewhat active, at a rise of is per quar ,er. Float-
ing cargoes changed hands steadily, at higher figures.
There was an improved sale for most kinds of barley and
malt, at very full prices.

quest, and is per quarter dearer than last week.

Although the supply of beasts on sale, to-day, fit for
Christmas consumption, were larger, the demand for all
kinds ruled active, at, in most instances, an advance in the
quotations of 2d per 81bs. Mr. Vorley had on offer several
remarkably fine lots, fed by Mr. George Baxter, of Craig-
forthies, Aberdeenshire. We were fairly supplied with
sheep, yet the demand for them was steady, at fully Mon-
day's advance in prices. Prime small calves moved off
freely, and the currencies had an upward tendency. Infe-
rior calves were a dull inquiry. Pigs, the supply of which
was moderate, sold heavily, at late figures.
Milch cows were very dull, at from 141 to 18/ 5s each,
including their small calf.
