MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled quiet, but no quotable change took place in
prices compared with the previous week. For good and
fine malting barley there was a steady demand, at full quo-
tations ; other articles, however, were in limited request, at
late rates.

Advices from New York state that the amount of busi-
ness doing in breadstuffs for export is very moderate. On
the Continent the corn trade generally is quiet.
But moderate supplies of English produce were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
amounted to 27,745 qrs of wheat, 2,967 barley, 63,676 oats,
12 beans, 2.412 peas, 27 tares, 9471inseed, 450 sundry seeds,
50 sacks and 7,495 barrels of ft Arr.

The fresh arrivals of home-grown wheat to this morning's
market were ye, y moderate. Although there was a tend-
ency to improvement in the coun'ry markets on Saturday,
millers showed no disposition to purchase extensively, and
sales both in red and white qualities progressed slowly, at
the rates current on Monday last. Nearly the whole of the
produce was of fine quality, and the samples, as a rule,
were received in excellent condition.

The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably
large. The amount of business transacted both in American
and Continental descriptions was very moderate, Holders,
however, were firm in their demands, and labt Monday's
currency was supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at
late rates. There was a moderate supply of English and
foreign barley on the stands. The bulk, however, was of
middling and inferior quality, consequently, fine semi•les—
owing to their scarcity—changed hands at full quotations.
Middling and inferior barley, however, was very dull, and
sold at irregular prices.

The malt trade was very dull, at the recent fall in the
quotations.

The market was moderately supplied with English
Scotch, and Irish oats, and the show of foreign produce ox
the stands was large. In nearly all descriptions a full ave-
rage business was transacted. Russian produce commanded
an advance in price of 6d per quarter, whilst other qualities
changed hands at very full prices.
With beans the market was but moderately supplied;
nevertheless, the trade was dull, and the quotations further
declined is per quarter.

Peas were in limited supply, and all descriptions sup-
ported previous rates.
The flour trade was rather quiet. A moderate business
however, was transacted, and prices ruled tolerably firm.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on
sale here to-day, in somewhat improved condition. On the
whole a fair average business was transacted in most breeds
at full prices.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts, as well as from Ireland, were moderately good.
Those from Scotland, however, were limited. The quality
and condition of the supply was superior to several previous
weeks, and the beef trade ruled steady, at full prices. The
beet Scots and crosses realised 5s 4d per bibs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,700 short horns, &c. ; from other parts
of England, 900 various breeds ; from Scotland, 9 Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 500 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was on the increase. The condition
cf the stock haying improved, there was less activity in the
mutton trade, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per bibs.
The general top figure for Downs and half-breds was 58 6d
per 81bs. There were some really good Leicesters, Lin-
coins, and Kents on offer.
We were scantily supplied with calves, which moved off
steadily, at Thursday's advance in the quotations of 4s per
bibs. Prices ranged from 4s 4,1 to 5s 4d per Ms.
Prime small pigs were in request, at lull prices ; but large
pork was heavy, on former terms. The foreign pigs are
coming to hand in fair condition.;
