MARK-LANE.

The whole of the country markets held on Saturday
were moderately supplied with wheat. Good and fine
samples moved off steadily at full prices ; otherwise the
trade ruled inactiva, at previous rates. Barley met a slow
sale at about stationary currencies. Good and fine oats, as
well as beans and peas, were firm in value ; but the trans-
actions in flour were mostly confined to aetual wants. On
the continent the wheat trade is devoid of animation. Ad-
vices from New York, however, are to the effect that an
increased and somewhat extensive business was doing in
wheat and flour at slightly enhanced rates.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small. The imports from abroad were 24,350 quarters
of wheat, 6,761 barley, 31,914 oats, 520 beans, 120 peas,
2,032 tares, 777 linseed, 385 sundry seeds, 165 sacks, and
5,911 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were very small, for the most 'part, in but mid-
dling condition. All good and fine dry parcels met a
steady sale, and last Monday's quotations were well sup-
ported ; otherwise, the trade was in an inactive state, at
about previous rates. Our currency, therefore, compared
with this day se' nnight, is without quotable change.
There was a fair, but not to say extensive, show of foreign
wheat on the stands. Generally speaking, importers were
firm in their demands, all descriptions being held at fully
last Monday's prices. A moderate business was transacted
at that day's rates.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, yet prices
ruled firm.
The supply of barley, although moderately good as re-
gards foreign, was less extensive than of late. The trade,
however, was decidedly inactive, yet no change took place
in its value compared with our previous report.

Malt changed hands slowly on former terms.
Good and fine oats moved off steadily at full quotations.
Low foreign parcels, however, the show of which was
tolerably extensive, met a dull inquiry at about previous
rates.
Beans and peas were scarce, and the trade for them ruled
firm at full currencies.

There was not the slightest animation in the flour trade,
yet prices were fairly maintained.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET .
The show of foreign beasts here to-day was only mode-
rate, of foreign sheep and calves tolerably good. Sales
progressed steadily at very full prices.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were limited as to number, but their
general quality was prime. The arrivals from Scotland,
however, were large, viz., 450 head. For all breeds there
was a steady demand at an advance in the quotations of
fully 2d per Sibs. The general top figure for beef was 4s
6d, but some inferior Scots and crosses realised 4s 8d per
Sibs, and a good clearance was effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,700 Scots, short horns and crosses; from Lin-
colnshire, 100 short horns ; from other parts of England,
500 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 460 Scots and
crosses.
With sheep we were fairly supplied, both as to number
and quality. Downs and half-breds were not quite so
numerous as on previous days; hence, the demand for
them was rather active, and the quotations had an upward
tendency—the top price having advanced to Ss per Sibs.
Other breeds moved off steadily at full currencies.
Prime lambs were in fair request at full prices. Other-
wise, the lamb trade was in a sluggish state at Tuesday's
decline in the quotations. The show of lambs was good,
and the top price was 7s 6d per 81bs.
Calves—the supply of which was moderate—sold heavily
at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs.

Prime small pigs commanded extreme rates; but large
hogs were very dull at late currencies.
The total imports of foreign stock into London, last week,
amounted to 5,323 head. In the corresponding week in
1861, wo received 7,849—in 1860, 10,231—in 1859, 3,111
—in 1858, 8,605—in 1857, 4,359—in 1856, 2,500 head.

During their progress about 95,000 bales were disposed of,
at a decline, compared with last auctions, varying from d
to 2d per lb. French buyers took a fair quantity ; but
German, Belgian, and American houses operated very cau-
tiously. The English wool trade is dull, and sales can only
be effected by submitting to reduced rates. There were no
imports last week either from the Australian or Cape
colonies.
