METROPOLITAN CATTLE

The supply of foreign stock in our market to-day was
again extensive, but, for the most part, in middling condi-
tion. Sales, consequently, progressed slowly, but at full
prices. A few of the beasts from Tonning sold at from
4s. 8d to 4s 10d. per 81bs.

With English beasts we wore very moderately supplied,
and the quality of each breed was by no means prime. The
arrival from Scotland was seasonably good. Prime Scots,
crosses, Lincolns, &c., moved off readily at prices fully
equal to last week. Otherwise, the trade was quiet, at
late rates. The general top figure was ss. 4d.; the extreme
price, ss. 6d. per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,700 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts
of England, 500, various breeds ; from Scotland, 200, Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen and heifers.
Tho show of sheep was again very moderate, and in
middling condition. Good and prime breeds changed hands
freely at high currencies; but inferior sheep moved off
slowly at late rates. Downs and half-breds realised Gs. to
to Os. 4d., in some instances Gs. Gd.

Lambs were in moderate supply and fair request, at from
Gs. to 7s. 4d. per Sibs., being previous rates.

The supply of calves was moderate, and the demand
was quiet, on former terms, viz., from 4s. 2d. to ss. 2d.
per Blbs.

Prime small pigs moved off freely, at full prices.
hogs were a dull inquiry.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was rather quiet. Holders, however, were firm, and
previous quotations were supported. In the value of bar-
ley, oats, beans, and peas, no quotable change took place,
but the demand for thoso articles was somewhat restricted.
Flour sold steadily, at full prices.
On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, but the de-
mand for spring corn rules steady. Advices from New York
report a further increase in the export demand for wheat
and flour, but at reduced quotations.
Small supplies of home-grown produce were received up
to our market last week. The imports from abroad con-
sisted of 77,393 qrs. wheat, 9,620 barley, 65,993 oats, 1,721
beans, 765 peas, 745 linseed, 2,000 rapeseed, 2,540 maize,
40 sundry seeds, 115 sacks and 3,440 brls. flour.
The arrival of wheat fresh up from Essex to this morn-
ing's market was very moderate, but there was a somewhat
increased supply of Kentish produce on the stands. The
total supply of English wheat, however, exhibited for sale
was limited, whilst the condition of the produce was good.
Harvest-work, as regards the cutting of wheat, rye, barley,
and oats, having been commenced this morning in some of
the forward agricultural districts, millers appeared desirous
of awaiting the results of the crops before making any ex-
tensive purchases. The trade for English wheat was, in
consequence, in a somewhat inactive state. Nevertheless,
a clearance of the supply was effected, whilst last Mon-
day's currency was steadily supported.
Scarcely any American wheat was on offer, and the
supply of foreign wheat on the stands was chiefly confined
to Russian produce. Good and foreign wheats were held
at fully late rates, and inferior qualities supported previous
quotations ; but the transactions were almost entirely of a
retail character, and the state of the trade, generally
speaking, ruled quiet.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, at
about stationary prices.
The supply of barley consisted almost entirely of foreign
produce. English qualities were quite nominal in value ;
for foreign parcels the trade was slow at barely late rates.
Malt was in fair average request at last Monday's cur-
rency.

The market was abundantly supplied with foreign oats,
but scarcely any home-grown produce was on offer. The
trade was slow for all qualities, and the prices realised ex-
hibited a fall of is. per quarter, as compared with the late
highest point, being a reduction of 6d. per quarter from
Monday last.
