MARKETS---THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.

In the country markets held on Saturday, wheat was in
slow request, and prices had a downward tendency, Barley
changed hands on rather easier terms, but oats, beano, and
peas, including flour, fairly supported previous rates.
On the continent the wheat trade rules inactive, yet very
little change has taken place in prices. At New York a
heavy fall has occurred in the value of flour, but wheat has
risen in price.

Up to our markets last week the arrivals of English Pro"
duce were small. The imports from abroad amounted to
53,702 quarters of wheat, 7,648 barley, 30,314 oats, 961
beans, 20 peas, 40 tares, 855 linseed, 600 rapeseed, 599
maize, 130 sundry seeds, 215 sacks and 12,811 barrels of
flour.

Fresh up to our market, this morning, the arrivals of
English wheat were small, but a fair proportion of the sup-
ply consisted of useful, though not to say fine produce in
tolerably fair condition. Good and fine samples moved off
slowly at a decline, compared with Monday last, of ls. per
quarter ; otherwise, the trade was dull, and, in order to effect
sales, factors would have been compelled to accept 2s. per
quarter less money than on this day se'nnight.
Owing to the continuance of large importations from
America and Russia, the show of samples of foreign wheat
was large. For all descriptions the trade was in a sluggish
state, and the quotations gave way fully 2s per qr. Red
American wheat was very difficult of sale.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and prices
had a downward tendency.

The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was very
moderate. Fine malting qualities were fine in value ;
otherwise the demand ruled very inactive on former terms.
Good and fine malt, both old and new, moved off steadily,
at full currencies ; but inferior kinds commanded but very
little attention.

Oats—the supply of which was moderate—met a steady
sale, at full quotations for fine corn, but at a reduction of
6d. to ls. per quarter for inferior produce.
The show of beans was small and the trade ruled firm,
at late rates.

The demand for peas was by no means active, yet prices
were supported. The market was scantily supplied with all
kinds.

For flour, the trade was in a sluggish state, and, in
some instances, the quotations slightly favoured the buyer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Our market to-day was well supplied with foreign
stock ; but its general quality was very middling. The
demand for it, however, ruled steady, and prices had an
upward tendency.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were moderately extensive. For the
most part the various breeds, competed with many previous
week's, came to hand in middling condition. Prime stock
was, therefore, in steady request at an advance in the quo.
tations of 2d per 81bs, the best Scots, &c., having sold at
4s 10d per 81bs ; otherwise, the beef trade was rather in-
active ; neverthless, the currencies were a shade higher
than last week.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton
shire, we received 2,900 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts
of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 10 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 1,000 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was moderately good as to num-
ber, but there was a great scarcity of prime stock
amongst them. Downs and half-breeds, as well as prime
long wools, realised 2d per 81bs more money, with a good
supplyexm curren-

the turn dearer. The top quotation was 5s 8d per 81bs.We have to report a steady inquiry for calves—the
supply of which was moderate—at a rise of 2d per Blbs.
The currencies ranged from 3s 10e1 to 5s per 81bs.

BOROUGH HOP.
There is no activity to notice in the demand for hops,
owing to the abundance of foreign and inferior grown
qualities on offer. However, all useful and fine samples
move off freely, and the late advance in prices is fully main-
tained. For inferior produce the quotations are rather
drooping.
FOREIGN Hors.—The imports of foreign hops into Lon-
don last week wore as follows :--581 bales from Boulogne ;
508, Hamburg ; 193, Antwerp ; 219, Ostend
; 116, Rotter-
dam; 461, Bremen; 24, Havre, and 314 bales from New
York.

Fair average supplies of home-grown potatoes continue

are seasonably good, The condition
of the produce is, generally speaking, satistlctory, and the
trade rules inactive, at the annexed quotations :

WOOL.
We have observed less activity in the demand for Eng-
lish wool, and prices have had a downward tendency.
Holders of colonial wools have been firm in their demands,
but the business doing in these descriptions has been some-
I what restricted, owing to the near approach of the public
