MARK-LANE.

A fair demand prevailed both for red and white wheats
in the country markets, held on Saturday. No change took
place in prices, and, generally speaking, they were well
supported. The spring corn trade was firm at very full
prices. Flour moved off steadily at previous rates,

The trade for wheat, flour, and maize at New York is
firmer, owing, in some measure, to an increased demand for
shipment to Great Britain. On the continent the corn trade
generally is firm. _ . .

The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market
last week were seasonably good. The imports from abroad
amounted to 13.427 quarters of wheat, 500 barley, 56,194
oats, 9,406 linseed, 4,518 oilseeds, 2,900 mairro, 160 sacks
and 6,641 barrels of flour.
A moderate supply of home-grown wheat was received
fresh up to our market to-day, for the most part in good
condition. Both for red and white qualities the trade
ruled quiet. Factors, however, were firm in their demands,
and although sales as a rule ,progressed slowly, the rates
current on Monday last were steadily supported.
There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The amount of business transacted was very
moderate; nevertheless, prices ruled firm, and no alteration
took place in them, compared with this day se'ennight.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full
currencies.
The slippy of barley on sale was very small, and was
mostly confined to grinding qualities, which changed hands
at fully the late advance in prices. Distilling parcels moved
off at fully late rates.
T-1 malt about an average business was transacted, and
prices I,7led,;firm.
with f0i.....qn oats the market was extensively supplied,

and both, in home-grown and foreign
and the show o:
usiness was transacted, at full
large for the time o: the
moderately active,

The supply of beans on sale was b:Q
the trade was firm, and the late advance in prices was fully
maintained.

limited number of samples on offer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
With each kind of foreign stock our market, to-day, was
well supplied; nevertheless the demand for it ruled steady,
and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward
tendency.
The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing
districts, were tolerably extensive, and their general quality
was good. From Ireland and Scotland, the receipts were
limited. The demand for most breeds ruled steady, at an ad-
vance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of
2d. per 81bs. The general top figure for beef was 4s. 10d. ;
but a few very superior Scots and crosses realised Os.
per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,000 Scots, crosses, and short-horns; from
Leicestershire, 2,000 short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 63 Scots and
crosses; and from Ireland, 30 oxen and heifers.
With most breeds of sheep we were seasonably-well sup-
plied, but the quality of the leading descriptions was by no
means first.rate. Prime Downs and half-breds moved off
freely at 2d. per Sibs. more money. In the value of long-
woolled sheep very little change took place, The top quo-
tation was ss. 4d, per Sibs.
Lambs—the supply of which was very moderate—sold
freely at from 6s. to 7s. per 81bs.
We have to report a dull sale for calves at late rates.
In pige, very liltle was doing, at last week's currency.

BOROUGH HOP.

Somewhat unfavourable accounts have been received
from the Plantations during the last few days, and the
supply of hops being small, the trade is firm on rather
higher terms. No import took place into London last week
either from the Continent or America.
BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Seasonably good supplies of homo-grown potatoes are:on
sale at these markets. For moat qualities there is a steady
demand at prices varying from 70s to 120 s per ton. The
supply of foreign potatoes on sale is very small.
