MARK LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled somewhat inactive, but there was no dispo
sition on the part of sellers to accept lower prices. The
spring corn trade was steady, and the quotations were well
supported. In flour a fair average business was doing at
full currencies.

On the continent the wheat trade was firm at full prices.
Advices from New York state that a good business was
doing for export to this country on higher terms.
, The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very small. The imports from abroad were 36,766
quarters of wheat, 25,625 barley, 19,626 oats, 3,160 beans,
13 peas, 520 tares, 55 linseed, 5,917 rapeseed, 169 maize,
and 2,149 sacks and 12,694 barrels of flour.
The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's
market were very small, but the condition of the samples
was tolerably good. Owing to the fineness of the weather
sales progressed slowly, both in red and white qualities ;
nevertheless, last Monday's currency was fairly supported.
At the close of business, a moderate clearance had been
effected.

There was a somewhat extensive show of fozeign wheat
on the stands, but the supply of really fine samples was
comparatively small. Good and superior qualities met a
good sale, at full quotations; otherwise, the trade ruled
inactive on former terms.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
quite previous rates.

With foreign barley, the market was extensively sup-
plied, but the show of home-given produce was small.
Generally speaking, the demand ruled slow; nevertheless,
last Monday's prices were maintained.
Malt was in fair average reque;t, at full quotations.
The supply of oats being small, the demand ruled active,
at an advance of quite 6d per quarter.
Beans and peas—owing to the limited supply on oiler—
were very firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency.
For both English and foreign flour, there was a fair de-
mand, and prices ruled firm.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
We were well supplied with foreign stock to-day, never-
theless the demand for it ruled steady at full prices.
For the time of year the receipts of home-fed beasts were
moderately extensive as to numbers, but the general condi-
tion was by no means prime. The best Scots, short-horns,
and crosses commanded a steady inquiry at an advance in
the quotations of 2d per Sibs, otherwise the beef trade was
in a sluggish state, on former terms. A few Scots and
crosses realised 5s per 81b, but the general top quotation
for beef was 4s 101 b per 81b.

_
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton
shire wo received 1,900 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 900 various breeds; from Scotland, 180 Scots
and crosses; and from Ireland 250 oxen and heifers.
With sheep we were well supplied. Downs and half-
breds, however, were comparatively scarce, and ha good re-
quest, at 2d per Mb more money. All other breeds moved
off slowly, at late rates. The best BOWLS sold readily at
58 2d per 81b.
We have to report a steady inquiry for prime lambs at:full
currencies. Otherwise, the lamb trade was in a sluggish
state, on former terms.
Calves, the supply of which was rather extensive, moved
off slowly, on former terms.
There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, and in some
instances prices had a drooping tendency.
