The supply of granaried samples of foreign wheat was
somewhat extensive—of produce, ex ship, but moderate. In
all descriptions, sal ,s prrgressed slowly, leading to only a
limited business being transacted, at prices about equal to
those current on Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain in fair average request, at late
rates. The supply of both English and foreign barley was
very moderate. Good and fine malting qualities were de-
cidedly firm, at extreme currencies; otherwise, the barley
trade ruled quiet, yet prices were supported.
In malt about an average business was transacted, at the
late decline in its value.

With oats the market was well supplied. Fine corn
fairly supported previous rates, but medium and inferior
samples met a dull inquiry at the recent fall in prices.
Beans, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off
steadily at late quotations.

Peas were scarce, and hilly as dear as on Monday last.
Most kinds of flour were in limited request, yet no change
,00k place in prices compared with last week.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
There was only a moderate supply of foreign stook on
offer in to-day's market, and its general quality was but
middling. The demand ruled very inactive, at about pre-
vious quotations.

From our own graeng districts the receipts of beasts,
fresh up, were rather limited for the time of year, but the
weight and condition of most breeds were tolerably good.
There was a fair average number of beasts in the market
both from Ireland and Scotland. The attendance of buyers
was far from numerous ; and the besf trade ruled inactive.
However, compared with Monday last, no quotable change
took place in prices. The beat Scots and crosses sold at sg.
per Blbs.
Owing to the falling off in the arrivals from abroad the
show of sheep was rather limited. The Downs and half-
breds appeared in good saleab'e condition; but most other
breeds exhibited a want of quality. Newgate and Leaden-
hall markets, being heavily supplied, the mutton trade was
by no means brisk; nevertheless, a fair clearance was
effected, at previous rates. The top figure for mutton was
ss. Bd. per Sibs.
Calves were in moderate supply, and slow request, on
former terms. The highest quotation was 4s. per Blbs.
Prime small pigs were firm in price ; but large hogs were
very dull, at late rates.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,500 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts
of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 110 Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 700 oxen and beifers.
