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 grazicg districts, es 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 2d per Blbs. A few very superior Scots and
crosses realised 4s Ica; bat the general top figure for
beef did not exceed 4s 8d per Sibs.

From Norfolk, Suff.lk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,600 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; fr m 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 tuut'on trade was in a
sluggish state, and the currencies dec►ined 2d per 81bs. A
very few superior Downs went at 4610 d, but the more gene-
ral Trice was 4d 8d per 81bs. The best Lincolns and Lei-
cesters realised 4s 4d per Blbs.

Lambs, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
slowly et Thursday's decline in value. Prices ranged from
6s to 7s 4;1 per Blbs. About 600 came to hand from the
Isle of Wii.ht.

We were fairly supplied with calves, which met a dull
inquiry, at last week's depression. '[he top figure was 48
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 Sa urdey, were moderate. Good and fine
parcels moved off slowly, at previous rates—otherwise the
trade was dull, and the quotations had a downward tea-
dency. All descriptions of spring core—the supplies of
which were 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 wheat up 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.

The 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 la per qu4rier 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. Atl
good and fine samples supported last week's currency ,
otherwise the quotations had a doa n-vard tendency.
Fluating carg)es of grain ruled firm, at fully previous
rates.

The supply of English and foreign bay ley was email.
Both for grinding and distiiaing sorts there Was a steady
demand, and the quotations were well maintained.
A lair average business was transacted in malt at late
currencies

The supply of oats, chiefly foreign, was moderately ex-
tensive. Good ann floe corn moved off freely at extreme
rates ; but inferior produce sold slowly at, in some in-
stances, rather lower pi ices
Wich 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 th,
inquiry was much restricted tit previous rater. Town and
country-made qualities changed hands to a limited extent
on former terms.
