MARK E TS-

This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The country markets, held on Saturday, were dull both
for red and white wheats, and prices ruled, in soma in-
stances, the turn in favour of buyers. Scarcely any change
took place in the value of spring corn or flour, but the de-
mand was far from active.
At New York and on the continent the inquiry for pro-
duce on British account has continued restricted. The
New York market has, however, shown more firmness, in
consequence of several parcels having been taken for the
British American provinces.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
8,215 quarters of wheat, 3,337 barley, 29,496 oats, 1,400
beans, 5,816 linseed, 2,868 oilseeds, 2,350 maize, 10 sundry
seeds, 215 sacks, and 10,302 barrels of flour.
A small supply of English wheat was received fresh up
to our market to-day in but middling condition. The trade
for all qualities was in a most inactive state.

Beans—the supply of which was very moderate—sold
steadily at full prices.
The market was but moderately supplied with foreign
wheat. The demand, however, for all descriptions ruled
inactive, yet no change took place in prices, compared with
Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late
rates.

Owing to tho mildness of the weather there were but few
buyers of malting barley, and prices were about is per qr
lower than on Monday last,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

For the time of year, there was a full average supply 01

foreign stock on sale here to-day. The demand for it, how-
ever, was heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported,

The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, were moderately good as to number,
but their quality was not quite so prime as in some previ-
ous weeks. All breeds meta dull inquiry; yet; compared
with Monday last, no change took place in the quotations.
The beat Scots sold at 4s 10d per Sibs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,200 Scots, crosses and short horns; from other
parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 225
Soots and crosses; and from Ireland, 90 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was tolerably good, and most breeds
canto to hand in prime condition. Downs and half-breeds,
in the wool, were in moderate request, at previous rates;
otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at a further decline
in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. Prime Downs and half-
breeds, shorn, sold at 4s 8d; heavy Lincolns, 4s ; and prime
small Lincolns, 4s 4d per Sibs.
Lambs were in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at
from Gs to 7s per Blbs.
Calves moved off slowly at late rates—viz, from 4s 4d to
5s 4d per Blbs. The supply was only moderate.
Prime large pigs were steady in price, but large hogs
ruled heavy, at barely late rates.
