Fresh up to this morning's market there was an increased
and moderately good supply of English wheat both from
Essex and Kent, but more especially from the former
county. The condition of the parcels, however, was bad.
For dry parcels there was a slow demand, and the rates
current on Monday last were barely supported, but damp
qualities were very dull, and could only be disposed of by
submitting to a decline of is per quarter compared with this
day se'nnight. A considerable portion of the supply was left
unsold at the close of business.
A full average suFply of foreign wheat was on sale. All
good and fine qualtities, notwithstanding that the inquiry
for them was far from active, were held at prices about
equal to those realised on Monday last. Inferior parcels
moved off heavily, an is per quarter less money than on that
day. •

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, yet no
quotable change took place in their value, compared with
Monday last.
Malting barley, of good and fine quality, was in demand,
at quite previous currencies, otherwise, the barley
trade ruled inactive, on former terms. The show of
samples of English was very moderate.
In malt a limited business was transacted, at our quota-
tions.

Thero was an increased supply of foreign oats on sale,
and the oat trade was in a sluggish state, at barely sta-
tionary prices.

Bean; were in fair supply and heavy request, at a de.
dine in their value of is per quarter.

Peas, though in very moderate supply, met a slow sale,
on former terms.

The flour trade Was dull. Country marks were rather
cheaper, but American qualities were quite 6d. per barrel
lower than on Monday last.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL
To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock
for the time of year, and the demand for it ruled steady, at
full quotations. The sheep appeared in prime condition.
The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts, as well as from Scotland, was moderate in number,
and the quality of most breeds was prime, especially of the
Scots, short-horns, and crosses. Notwithstanding that the
beef trade was by no means active, prices were, in some
instances, 2d. per Blbs. higher than on this day se'nnight.
A few Scots and crosses realised 4s 6d, but time more gene-
ral top figure was 4s 4d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,900 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from other
parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 480
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 120 oxen and heifers.
The show of Down sheep was limited, and the demand
for them ruled tolerably active, on rather higher terms.
Prime old breeds, in the wool, sold at quite 5s 6d per 81bs.
Otherwise, the mutton trade was steady, at full prices: buil
clipped sheep were somewhat d fficult of sale, at from Bd. to
10d. per 81bs. beneath those in the wool.

Down lambs were in steady request, at fully late rates ;
but for Dorsets and Isle of Wights, the inquiry was in-
active. Quotations ranged from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per 81bs.
Only 40 head came to hand from the Isle of Wight.
There was a steady demand for calves, and prices were
well supported. The best veal sold at 68 2d per 81bs.
Prime small porkers sold freely, large hogs heavily, at
about previous rates. The supply of pigs was moderate.

oilseeds, and 22,986 barrels of flour.

Linseed and rapeseed have ruled steady ; but nearly all
other descriptions of seed have been much neglected. In
cakes a limited business has been transacted, at our quo-
tations.
