MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The country mtakets held on Saturday ruled inactive;
nevertheless, prices were in most instances supported.
Good and fine malting barley moved off freely, at extreme
rates. Other articles ruled steady, at full currencies.
On the continent the corn trade is steady, and prices rule
firm. At New York a moderate business is doing in wheat
and flour for export.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate.
The imports from abroad amounted to 12,150 quarters of
wheat; 8,627 barley; 29,590 oats; 5,900 rye; 361 beans;
2,025 peas; 4,137 tares; 40,688 linseed; 18,015 oilseeds;
280 sundry seeds; 3,470 sacks and 3,256 barrels of flout.
The arrivals of wheat from Essex fresh up to this morn-
ing's market were small; but there was an increased show
of produce from Kent on the stands. The general condition
of the supply, notwithstanding tho dampness of the weather,
was tolerably good. Both for red and white qualities the
trade was in a sluggish state, and the prices realised exhi-
bited a decline of trout is to 2s, when compared with Mon-
day last.
The market was by no means extensively supplied with
foregn wheat. There was, however, no disposition on the
Part of millers to effect purchases beyond their immediate
requirements, and these were in many instances made at a
decline in prices from Monday last of is per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain were less active, and a fall of is
per quarter took place in the value of wheat. Spring corn
was steady in price.
The supply of barley was moderately good. Good and
fine malting parcels moved off steadily at full prices;
otherwise, the barley trade was quiet, yet previous quota-
tions were supported.
In malt, a fair average business was transacted, at full

prices.
The supply of oats was moderately large. Heated par-
sets were a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms ; but good
and fine corn supported former prices, with a moderate in-
quiry.
The trade for beans was steady, at late rates. The show
of samples was moderate.
Peas were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm.
The flour trade was dull. The supply of barrels was
very moderate ; but French qualities were offered somewhat
freely. Prices ruled, in some instances, both for English
and foreign produce, sightly in favour of buyers.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
Onr market to-day was but moderately sapplied with
foreign stock; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds was in
a sluggish state at barely stationary prices.
The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were
on the decrease, compared with Monday last, but from Scot-
land large, whilst the general supply was prime. For most
kinds the demand was sluggish at the late decline in
value. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s per Sibs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,800 Scots, crosses, dsc. ; from other parts of
England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 469 Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland, 90 oxen.
Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was very mode-
rate, all breeds met a slow inquiry. The best Downs and
half breeds sold at late rates; but heavy breeds were, in
some instances, a shade lower than on this day se'nn;ght •
The top figure for Downs was 68 per 81bs,
There were a few Dorset and Somersetshire lambs on
offer, but they commanded very little attention, Prices
ranged from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per 8 lbs.
The supply of calves was very moderate, nevertheless, the
demand was inactive at late rates, viz., from 4s to 5s 2d per
8 lbs.
Pigs were in fair average supply and sluggish request en
former terms.
