MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARX LANE. .
The country markets, held on Saturday, were scantily
supplied with wheat. The trade, however, ruled inactive;
nevertheless, prices, generally speaking, were supported.
Barley, oats, beans, and peas moved off somewhat freely, at
extreme rates. Flour was in fair request, on former terms.
On the Continent, the corn trade has continued steady,
at full quotations. At New York, both wheat and flour
have been in demand,
on English account, at full prices.
Very small supplies of English produce were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were 25,013 quarters of wheat ; 7,534 barley ;
48,331 oats ;
1,300 beans; 884 peas : 208 linseed ; 3,607 rapeseed ; 470
maize; 1,805 sundry seeds; 205 sacks, and 31,332 brls of
flour.

To-day's market was very scantily supplied with old
English wheat. The trade, however, for all qualities ruled
inactive, nevertheless last Monday's currency was fairly
supported. We learn this morning that wheat cutting in
the South of England and in Essex is not yet in a forward
state, but that it will probably be towards the close of the
present or the beginning of next week before harvest ope-
rations are general in those / arts.
There was a tolerably extensive show of samples of
foreign wheat on the stands. Good and fine qualities were
in fair request at full prices, otherwise the trade Was dull,
and in some instances low American and Russian qualities
were obtainable at slightly reduced rates.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, on former
terms.

Scarcely any samples of old home-grown barley were on
offer. New produce, in but middling conditipn, sold at
from 36s to 38s per quarter. Foreign, of which there was
a moderate supply, moved off steadily, at full currencies.
On the whole the malt trade was steady, at full prices.
There was an increased show of foreign oats on offer.
Good and fine parcels we in demand, at extreme rates. For
inferior qualities, however, the inquiry was somewhat less
active, yet their value was maintained.
Beans were in very small supply, and all qualities sold
readily at fully previous rates.

A sample of new grey peas was on offer, which was held
at 40s per quarter. The pea, though small, was hard, and
of useful quality.

The best descriptions of flour changed hands to a fair
average extent, at full currencies. Inferior qualities met a
slow sale, on former terms.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market, and the demand for it ruled heavy on
rather lower terms. Amongst it were some very good
British beasts.

The arrivals 'of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts was very large even for the time of year, and the
general quality of each breed was tolerably good. The
beef trade was in a depressed state at a decline in the quo-
tations of 2d per 81bs, the top figure being 4s 6d, and a
clearance was not effected.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,500 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 1,000 various breeds; from Scotland, 150 Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 520 oxen and heifers.

With sheep were well supplied, but their general quality
was by no means first .rate. Downs and half-breds moved
off steadily at full prices. Otherwise, the !mutton trade
was in a sluggish state at barley late currencies. The
highest price was 5s 2d per Ms.
The show of lambs was moderately extensive. Prime
breeds commanded quite as much money as of late; but in-
ferior lambs were a dull inquiry on former terms. The
quotations ranged from 5s to 6s 4d per 81bs.
No change took place in the value of calves, and the veal
trade was far from active.

Pigs changed hands slowly; nevertheless, prices were
supported.

It being probable that new seeds will come freely to
market next week, the business doing in all kinds of old
produce is very small, at previous rates. Cakes are in fair
request, at full currencies.

The tallow trade continues inactive, and prices have a
drooping tendency. P.Y.C. is quoted at 49s per cwt on
the spot, and at 50s for the last three months' delivery.
