MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.

Small supplies of English wheat were received up to our
market last week. The imports from abroad were 54,091
quarters of wheat, 5,178 barley, 58,193 oats, NI beans,
6,301 peas, 1,154 tares, 113 linseed, 1,612 rapeseed, 2,910
oilseeds, 1,889 sacks, and 6,706 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to Mark-lane, to-day, the receipts of English
wheat were very small, but the quality of the produce was
tolerably good, and most samples came to hand in dry con.
dition. For both red and white parcels, the demand ruled
steady, and the whole of the supply quickly disposed of at
prices equal to those realised on Monday last. We have,
therefore, no change to make in the quotations then
current.

The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and there
was again a considerable quantity of American, as well as,
Prussian and Russian produce on ;the stands. The demand
was by no means active for any description; nevertheless,
a moderate amount of business was transacted, and last
Monday's currency was fairly supported, except in those
cases, where sales were forced.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
late rates.

The supply of barley was very moderate. On tho whole,
the trade ruled steady, and, compared with this day
ss'nnight, prices were without quotable change.
In malt very little was doing, and the quotations had a
downward tendency.

With oats the market was well supplied. Good and fine
corn sold steadily at full currencies, but inferior produce
was dull at quite the recent fall in prices.
Beans—the supply of which was but moderate—moved off
steadily at late rates.

The market was scantily supplied with peas, for which
the trade must be considered firm, but without change as
regards prices.

In the value of town-made flour a fall of 4s. per 280 lbs,
ook place.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
There was a fair average time-of•yoar supply of foreign
stock on offer in to-day's market; but its general quality
was by no means prime. Sales progressed slowly, at about
stationary prices.

From our own grazing districts, as Well as from Scotland,
the arrivals of beasts, fresh up, this morning, were only
moderate, as to number; but the quality of each breed was
tolerably good. In some instances the Scots, Devons,
Herefords, and short-horns appeared in very prime condi-
tion. They, therefore, commanded a steady inquiry, at
prices fully equal to Monday last—the primest Scots having
sold at ss.—the best short horns, &c., at 4s. Bd. per Sibs.
Inferior beasts were a slow sale; nevertheless, late rates
were fairly supported.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,500 short-horns, ; from other parts
of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 40 Scots
and crosses; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers.
Wo were seasonably-well supplied with sheep, including
the foreign arrivals—but the general condition of the stock
was by no means prime. Downs and half-breds were in
good request, at very full prices—the top figure being ss.
Bd. per 81bs ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish
state, and, in some instances, the currencies were a shade
lower than on this day se'nnight.

Calves—the supply of which was good—were a dull
sale, at ThurAday's decline in the quotations.
Pigs were steady in price, and the demand for them was
tolerably active.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
very moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled
inactive, and iu some instances a farther decline took place
in prices. Barley and oats were dull, and drooping in
value; but beans and peas were tolerably firm as to price.
The flour trade ruled inactive.
On the Continent the wheat trade is in a sluggish state,
on easier terms. Advices from New York state that a
moderate export business is doing in wheat and flour, at
rather lower rates.
