Tne receipts of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market were but moderate. The condition of the produce,
however, was good. For selected wheats, there was a fair,
but by no means active, demand, and last Monday's cur-
rency was steadily supported. The trade for inferior pro-
duce ruled heavy, and to have pressed sales. factors would
have been compelled to accept is per quarter less money
than on Monday last. The greater portion of the latter re-
mained unsold at the close of business.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, and the
transactions were mostly confined to retail parcels. All
good and fine samples supported last week's currency;
otherwise the quotations had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at fully previous
rates.
The supply of English and foreign barley was small.
Both for grinding and distilling sorts there was a steady
demand, and the quotations were well maintained.
A fair average business was transacted in malt at late
currencies.

The supply of oats, chiefly foreign, was moderately ex-
tensive. Good and fine corn moved off freely at extreme
rates ; but inferior produce sold slowly at, in some in-
stances, rather lower picas.
With beans the market was scantily supplied, and the
value of all descriptions was well supported. The demand,
however, was by no means active.
Peas were in short supply, and steady request at full
quotations.

The supply of barrel flour was very moderate, yet the
inquiry was much restricted at previous rater. Town and
country-made qualities changed hands to a limited extent
on termer terms

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market, in somewhat improved condition. The
demand was rather firm, at full quotations.
From our own graxi, g districts, as well as from Scotland,
the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably
good, and their general weight and quality were t,lerably
fine compared with Monday last. The demand for nearly
all breeds was inactive, and in some instances the quotations
gave way 21 per 81bs. A few very superior Scots and
crosses realised 4s ICd ; but the general top figure for
beef did not exceed 4s 8d per 81bs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,600 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other
parts of England 300 various breeds, and from Scotland
400 Scots and crosses.

There was a fair average number of sheep in the pens,
in mostly prime condition. The mutton trade was in a
sluggish state, and the currencies declined 2d per Blbs. A
very few superior Downs went at 4slod, but the more gene-
ral T rice was 4d 8d per 81bs. The best Lincolna and Lei-
cesters realised 4s 4d per Blbs.

Lambs, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
slowly at Thursday's decline in value. Prices ranged from
6s to 7s 4d par Blbs. About 600 came to hand from the
Isle of Wight.
We were fairly supplied with calves, which met a dull
inquiry, at last week's depression. The top figure was 4s
10d per 81bs.

The pork trade was in a sluggish state, at barely previous
rates.

The supplies of English wheat on sale in the country
markets, held on Swurday, were moderate. Good and fine
parcels moved off slowly, at previous rates—otherwise the
trade was dull, and the quot.tions had a downward ten-
dency. All descriptions of spring colt supplies of
which wrre small—changed hands at full prices. In flour,
a limited business was transacted, chiefly on former terms.
Advices from New York state that the trade for wheat
and flour was heavy, and that very little was doing for ex-
port to Great Britain. On the continent, the markets for
wheat and spring corn are firm.
The arrivals of English wheatup to our market last week,
were moderate—of spring corn small. The imports from
abroad amounted to 10,321 quarters of wheat-929 barley-
-38,450 oats-837 beans-1,290 peas-1,498 linseed-120
rapeseed-100 maize-65 sundry seeds-117 sacks and
3,352 barrels of flour.
