MARK-LANE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly
supplied with wheat, for which description of produce the
demand ruled steady, and prices were well supported. Most
descriptions of spring corn were a dull inquiry, but flour
commanded extreme rates.

Throughout the continent wheat has sold slowly at barely
stationary prices. The American markets have presented
no new feature.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week were moderate. From abroad we received 22,066
quarters of wheat, 8,574 barley, 22,638 oats, 1,701 beans, 98
peas, 14,831 linseed, 8,066 rapeseed, 340 sundry, 900 sacks
and 26,647 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market, this morning, the arrivals of
English wheat were less extensive. The demand, however,
for all qualities was by no meatus active, yet last Monday's
currency was well supported. At the close of business, a
fair clearance had been effected.

There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The amount of business transacted was but mo-
derate, at the rates current last week.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates.
The market was well supplied with English barley, and
the trade ruled heavy, at a decline in prices from Monday
last of is per quarter.
Malt sold heavily, and the quotations had a downward
tendency.
The supply of oats was tolerably large. Scarcely any
change took place in the value either of English or foreign
parcels, but the trade was very inactive.

A fair average supply of beaus was on the stands, and
the demand for them ruled inactive, at late rates.
Peas fairly supported last week's currency. Sales, how.
ever, progressed slowly, both in English and foreign
qualities.

Flour of all descriptions met a slow sale, but without
leading to any material change in prices. The supply ol
barrels was somewhat extensive.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market
was again extensive. Most of the Dutch sheep and calves
appeared in good, in some instances prime, condition; but
the quality of the beasts was inferior.
From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
were extensive as to number, but somewhat deficient in
quality. Very few Scotch beasts were on offer; but there
was a fair sprinkling from Ireland. All breeds met a heavy
inquiry at a decline in the quotations compared with
Monday last of 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected.
The top figure for the best Scots, &c., was 4s 10d per Sibs.
This, however, was obtained in very few instances.
The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, comprised 2,950 short-horns and
crosses; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds;
from Scotland, 10 Scots; and, from Ireland, 600 oxen and
heifers.

The show of sheep was seasonably good, and, for the
most part, in prime condition. Nearly all breeds moved
off slowly, at 2d per Blbs less money. The best old Downs
changed hands at 68 2d per 81bs.
We have to report a dull sale for calves—the supply of
which was good—at 4d pet 81bs less money than on this
day e'nn ight. _

There was a fair ayerage business doing in pigs, at very
full prices.
