TRIG DAY'S MAREBTS.

The French markets have rather fluctuated of late. Ad-
vices from New York state both wheat and flour were
rather drooping in price.
Very moderate supplies of English produce were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were 8,235 quarters of wheat; 14,239 barley; 1,535 oats;
2,000 beans ; 433 tares ; 6,042 linseed ; 896 rapeseed ; 250
maize; 170 sundry seeds; 190 sacks and 29,056 barrels of
flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of wheat
from Essex were decidedly small, but there was a fair,
though by no means extensive, show of samples from Kent.
The general condition of the supply was tolerably good.
For both red and white qualities the demand was in a
sluggish state, nevertheless, at the close of business a fair
clearance had been effected, and the currencies, compared
with this day se'nnight, exhibited no quotable change.
There was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat on the
stands, ex granary. All good and prime descriptions
changed hands steadily, at full prices; but inferior sorts
met a slow market, yet the quotations were supported.
In floating cargoes of grain a moderate business was
transacted, at stationary prices.
Malting barley was in limited supply and steady request,
at full currencies. The show of grinding and distilling
sorts was only moderate, but their being a considerable
quantity of foreign barley on offer, the trade for them ruled
heavy, at about previous rates.
The malt trade was dull, at late quotations.
The supply of oats, both English and foreign, was very
moderate, yet the demand for all descriptions ruled inactive,
at last Monday's currency.
Beans—the show of which was moderately extensive—.
moved off heavily, at the late decline in their value.
As regards prices, peas were without change from Mon-
day last; and no improvement was observed in the inquiry
for them, notwithstanding that the supply on offer was
somewhat restricted.
In all kinds of flour sales progressed slowly, at about the
quotations of this day se'nnight.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI.

The show of foreign stock here to. day was moderate, bu,
the sheep came to hand in prime condition.
Although the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own
griming districts were by no means extensive, the demand
for all breeds ruled extremely heavy, at a decline in the
quotations of quite 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for
beef did not exceed 4s 4d per 81bs. With very few excep-
tions, the quality of the stock was unusually good, but the
depressed state of the dead markets had considerable influ-
ence upon this trade.

Frotii Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1850 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other
parts of England, 860 various breeds ; from Scotland, 450
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and
heifers.

Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only mo-
derate as to number, the mutton trade was very inactive,
and prices gave way 2d per 81bs. The best Downs, in the
wool, sold at 6s 4d ; out of the wool, at 4s 8d per Sibs.
The general weight and condition of the sheep were good.
Lambs, the supply of which was seasonably extensive,
were in fair demand, at 7s 4d per Blbs. They still continue
to arrive in good condition. About 60 reached us from the
Isle of Wight.

Calves were in fair supply and heavy request, at a de-
cline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 10d
per Sibs. The top figure was 58 per 81bs.

The pork trade was very dull, and prices had a drooping
tendency.

CORN EXCHANGE.
There was a fair, but by no means active, demand for
wheat in the leading country markets, held on Saturday,
and prices, generally, were well supported. Barley was a
slow inquiry, and all other kinds of produce met a dull
sale,
