MARK LANE.

Limited supplies of English wheat were on sale in the
country markets held on Saturday, for which there was a
moderate demand, at full prices. All spring corn was firm,
at quite previous rates. Flour changed hands to a fair
extent, and prices were supported.
On the continent the corn trade has continued firm. Our
latest advices from America state that a fair ave rage busi-
ness was doing in wheat and flour for the eastern trade, at
further enhanced rates.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were small. The imports from abroad were 25,892 quarters
of wheat, 8,493 barley, 14,443 oats, 2,400 beans, 41 peas.
342 tares, 5,551 linseed, 5,305 rapeseed, 4EO maize, 85
sundry seeds, and 14,711 barrels of flour.
There was a very limited show of samples of English
wheat here to-day. Both red and white qualities, however,
met a slow sale, yet no change took place in prices, com-
pared with Monday last. Talavera wheat has already been
cut in various parts of Essex and Hampshire, and it is very
probable that by Monday next harvest work will be in a
tolerably forward state in the southern and other forward
counties. We did not hear of any new produce being on
offer to-day.

The show of foreign wheat was moderately extensive.
Generally speaking the trade ruled very inactive; never-
theless, good and fine produce supported last Monday's
currency.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly on former
terms.

There was a parcel of new barley on offer, in fair but by
no means first-rate condition. It was held at 425. per qr.
Of old home-grown barley there was scarcely a sample in
the market. Foreign, the supply of which was very mode-
rate, sold steadily at full prices.

The malt trade was steady, and the quotations ruled
firm.

Oats, owing to the very moderate supply on offer, were
firm, and their value was well maintained.
Beans end peas were scarce, and both articles realised
extreme rates.

For flour there was a fair average demand, at full prices.
New rapeseed and new carraway were on offer ; the
quotation for the former was 70s. per quarter, and for the
latter 325. per cwt. The crop of mustard seed is very
favourably spoken of.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
There was a large supply of foreign stock here to-day
and sales progressed slowly, on lower terms.
The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were favourably extensive ; but the quality of
each breed was by no means prime. Notwithstanding that
the attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous, the
beef trade was in a very inactive state, at a decline on the
quotations, compared with Monday last, (I 2d per Sibs,
and at which a total clearance was not effected.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
we rect ived 2,350 short horns; from other parts of England
900 various breeds ; from Scotland, 120 Scots and crosses ;
and from Ireland, 320 oxen and heifers.
With sheep, we were well supplied. Downs and half-
breeds were in fair request ; but all other breeds moved off
slowly, at 2d per 81bs less money, The top figure for
mutton was 5s 2d per 81bs, and the general quality of
the stock was but middling.

The show of lambs was but moderately extensive. Prime
breeds sold at last week's currency, otherwise the lamb
trade was heavy, and the currencies have a drooping
tendency. The top quotation was 6s 4d per 81bs.
Calves were in fair average supply, and sluggish re-
quest, on former terms—viz , from 48 to 5s per Bibs.
The pork trade was heavy. In prices, however, no
change took place.
