MARKETS—This Day,

MARK-LANE.
The leading eountry markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly, at
drooping prices. The barley trade was in a very inactive
state, on easier terms. Oats were likewise cheaper, but
other kinds of produce were steady in price.
On the Continent, as well as in America, wheat has been
drooping, with a heavy export demand. In other articles a
fair average business has been transacted, at mostly full
prices.

The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market
last week were moderate. From abroad we received 42,458
quarters of wheat, 6,441 barley, 32,022 oats, 3,021 rye,
1,339 peas, 268 tares, 6,144 linseed, 10,900 rapeseed, 2,550
maize, 550 sacks, and 60,795 barrels of Car.
Including the samples left over horn last week, the supply
of wheat en sale here to-day, from Essex and Kent, was
moderately good, and the quality of the produce was very
fine. Owing chiefly to the largo influx of foreign grain and
flour, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce
was in a very inactive state, and in some instances the quo-
tations gave way is per quarter. At that decline a clearance
was with difficulty effected.
We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat,
fresh as well as ex granary. The trade was heavy ; never-
theless, selected qualities were held at full quotations. All
other kinds were lower to purchase.
In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were on a
limited scale at barely late rates.
The show of barley was tolerably good. The inquiry
for all descriptions was heavy, and the quotations gave way
Is to 2s per quarter.
Malt was in fair average supply and moderate request, at
late rates.

We were well supplied ivith foreign oats. The oat trade
was heavy, at a decline ia the currencies of 6d per quarter.
Beans commanded very full prices, with a fair demand.
The few peas on offer moved off steadily, at extreme
rates.

Wo have to report a dull sale for both English and
:oreigu flour, at slightly reduced quotations.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of foreign beasts and sheep on offer here to-
day was seasonably large as to number, bat the quality of
the stock was very middling. On the whole the trade was
steady, at full quotations,
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up were good. The general condition of the supply,
however, was by no means prime. Prime Scots, Herefords,
Devons, Ice., moved off steadily, at very full prices, to a
slight advance, Inferior stock was dull, but not cheaper.
The best Scots and crosses realised fully 53 2d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to about 2,500 short horns and
crosses ; from other parts of England, 860 various breeds ;
from Scotland, 57 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland,
212 oxen and heifers.

---
For the time of year the show of sheep was limited, and
the quality of most breeds was inferior. There was a steady
inquiry for prime sheep, and in some instances the cur-
rencies had an upward tendency. Otherwise the trade was
inactive; nevertheless, prices were well supported. A few
very superior Downs and half-breds realised 53 Bd, but the
more general top figure was 58 6d per Me.
Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, moved
off steadily at extreme quotations—viz., from 4s to 63
per Sibs.
There was a fair sale for pigs, at prices quite equal to
Monday last.

These markets are but moderately supplied with town
and country killed meat. Good and prime beef and mutton
move iff steadily at very full prices, and for other qualities
the trade is firm. Veal and pork are steady in price.

Our market is fully supplied with English hope. In
most desoriptiois a fair business is doing and prices rule
firm. For yearling and old hope, the trade is by no means
active, yet no material change has taken place in the quo-
tations compared with last week. Last week's imports
amounted to 100 bales from New York, and 19 bales from
Ostend.
