MARK-LANE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly
supplied with wheat. Selected samples moved off slowly, at
about stationary prices, but all other kinds were very dull,
and rather cheaper. Barley was offering on lower terms; for
other produce very little was passing.
On the c influent no change of importance has taken place
in the value of any kind of grain. At New York the export
inquiry has fallen off.
The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market
last week were only moderate. From abroad the imports
comprised 17,431 qrs wheat, 5,172 barley, 11,813 ox's, 18
beans, 8 peas, 1,020 linseed, 806 rape. 5,000 maize, 480
sundry seeds, 323 sacks and 132 barrels flour.
A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market. The quality of the
produce was excellent. Both for red and white qualities
the demand ruled steady, and last Monday's currency
was well supported.
The shop of samples of foreign wheat was large. In
most descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet no change
took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late
rates.

With barley the market was extensively supplied.
kinds were in fair average request, at the recent fall in the
quotations. Most

The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, and prices
had a drooping tendency.
The supply of oats was moderately large. For good and
fine corn there was a steady ealo, and prices ruled firm.
Inferior produce, however, sold heavily, at late rates.
The supply of beans was only moderate, and the trade
ruled firm, at quite previous quotations.
Peas were firm in price and nearly all qualities were in
steady request.

Both in English and Foreign flour a fair avenge busi-
ness was transacted, at last Monday's currency,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

For the time of year, the supply of foreign stock in our
market to-day was good, and most of the sheep were in full
average condition. Sales progressed slowly, but at about
previous rates.
The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Ireland, were moderately extensive, but the
general quality of the supply was only middling. Prime
Scots, shorthorns, Herefords, &C., commanded a steady in-
quiry, at an advance in the quotations, compared with Mon-
day last, of 2d per 81b, the top quotation being 5s per Blbs.
Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former
terms. There were no fresh beasts in the market from
Scotland,

Not withstanding that the show of sheep was very mode-
rate, the mutton trade was far from active. Prices, how-
ever, were well supported. A few very superior Downs
realised se4d ; but the more general figure was 5s 2d per
Blbs, at which a clearance was effected. The quality of the
sheep was good.
Calves—the supply of which was moderate—moved off
slowly, at last week's quotations.

There was a fair sale for pigs, at from 3s 8d to 4s 8d per
81bs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
we received 2,400 shorthorns, &c., from other parts of Eng-
land, 500 various breeds, and from Ireland 600 oxen and
heifers,
