The provincial markets held on Saturday wero mode-
rately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi-
ness was transacted, at about stationary prices. Barley,
the show of which was good, moved off heavily, on easier
terms. The oat trade was steady. In beans, peas, and
flour, very little was doing.

The continental markets have been tolerably firm for
most sorts of grain, the supplies of which have been
moderato. The last advices from New York state that
both wheat and flour were rising in price.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were very moderate. From abroad, we received
9,963 quarters of wheat, 400 of bailey, 1,918 oats, 66 beans,
9,780 linseed, 1,029 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, 3,089 sacks,
and 10,152 barrels of flour.

The quantity of home-grown wheat received fresh up
to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was on a very
moderate scale and in but middling condition. The show
of samples of both red and white was, therefore, small.
The attendance of town millers was tolerably good, but
from distant parts it was limited. For all kinds of wheat
of home produce the demand was in a very sluggish state.
Fine parcels, however, were held at full prices ; but the
value of other kinds was the turn in favour of buyers.

We were tolerably well, but not to say extensively, sup-
plied with foreign wheat. The continental demand ap-
pears to have ceased for the present, and the amount of
business doing for home consumption was limited, at
barely last Monday's currency.
Floating cargoes commanded very little attention, but
•
we have no decline to notice in prices.

We had a very dull trade for barley—the supply of
which was moderate—at a decline of from is to 2s per
quarter.
Malt was very dull, and lower to purchase. The supply
was tolerably good.
We were scantily supplied with oats. As dealers were
looking forward to inward arrivals from Ireland, no ad-
vance took place in prices, with a moderate demand.
Both beans and peas were in fair average supply, and
sluggish request on former terms.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was limited,
and, for the most part, in very middling condition. On
the breaking up of the frost in Holland, very large imports
may be anticipated from that quarter. With home-fed
beasts we were rather scantily supplied, the numbers being
considerably less than on Monday last. Although the at-
tendance of buyers was by no means large, the beef trade
ruled steady, at, in most instances, an advance in the quo-
tations of 2d per 81b., and a good clearance was effected.
The primest Scots realised 4d per 81b.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Esser, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,800 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England, 800 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 330
horned and polled Scots.
Nothwithstanding that the show of sheep was limited,
the demand for that description of stock, arising from the
large supplies of meat in Newgato and Leadenhall, was
inactive. In prices, however, we have no change to notice.
The primest old Downs sold at 5s 2d per Sib.; a few shear-
lings were brought forward.

Scarcely any calves were on offer, hence prices were very
irregular. A very superior calf was worth 6s per Slb.
Pigs were in short supply and sluggish request, on for-
mer terms.
