BRITISH RAILWAYS.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat, in which a good business
was doing, at an advance of from 2s to 4s per quarter.
Barley was in good request, and rather dearer. Malt,
oats, beans, and peas advanced. The flour trade was
brisk, on higher terms.
The continental markets have been less active, owing to
the severity of the weather. nevertheless, prices have ruled
firm. The stocks appear to be greatly reduced. The latest
adyices from New York state that both wheat and flour
were on the advance.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received 23,228
quarters of wheat, 4,710 barley, 4,375 oats, 2,070 beans,
1,080 peas, SO tares, 8,649 linseed, 5,930 rapeseed, 53
sundry seeds, 1,486 sacks and 45,674 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market, coastwise, was very moderate, and in
but middling condition. By land carriage, the receipts
were on a limited scale. Although the show of samples
of both red and white was small, millers in general, owing
to the liberal import of flour from the United States,
evinced less anxiety to purchase ; nevertheless, the de-
mand may be considered steady, at Friday's advance in
the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. The amount
of business doing for forward delivery was comparatively
small, yet the growers were firm.
We were tolerably well supplied with foreign wheat, in
which a full average business was transacted, at an im-
provement in the currencies of Monday last of 3s per
quarter.
Several floating cargoes changed hands for home con-
sumption, at 2s to 3s per quarter for money.
The show of both English and foreign barley was mode-
rate. All descriptions moved off briskly, at 3s per quarter
above the currencies of this day se'nnight.
Malt—The supply was moderate, moved off steadily, at
is per quarter advance.
There was a good consumptive inquiry for oats, at is
per quarter above the rates of the Monday last.
Beans were in moderate supply, and good request, at is
to 2s per quarter more money.
The sale for peas was active, and the quotations further
advanced is to 2s per quarter.
The flour trade was active, at 2s to 3s per sack, and is
to 2s per barrel more money.

Owing to the extreme severity of the weather, the
arrivals of foreign stock into London last week were very
limited—namely, 1,100 head. During the corresponding
period of 1853, we received 3,214 ; in 1852, 3,337 ;
1851, 2,357 ; in 1850, 1,066 ; in 1849, 1,035; and in 1848,
1,235 head.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
moderate. Amongst it were about 60 oxen from Spain, in
fair average condition.
With home-fed beasts we were rather scantily supplied,
owing to the non-arrival of several cattle trains from
various quarters, caused by the slippery
state
the of the
tr raadilse
The attendance of buyers was g, and beef
ruled steady at an advance in the prices obtained on
Monday last of 2d. per 8 lbs. The primest lots readily
produced sd. per 8 lbs. •
From the northern counties we received 1,000 shorthorns;
from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 1,100
Scots and shorthorns ; and from other parts of England
400 of various breeds. Scarcely any beasts were on offer
from Scotland, the steamer, with several dead animals on
board, having put into Leith in a disabled state.
The show of sheep was seasonably good, but numbers of
them were suffering from rot. For all breeds we experienced
a very dull inquiry, and last week's prices were barely sup-
ported. The extreme value of the best old Downs was 5s
4d per 8 lbs.
From their scarcity, prime small calves were dearer, the
top quotation having advanced to 5s 6d per 8 lbs, but other
kinds of veal were dull and drooping.
There was a moderate sale for pigs, at last week's quota
tions.

BOROUGH HOP.

We have to repori;:ligaTMProvement in the demand
for good and fine hops, at full quotations. In other kinds
only a limited business is doing. Last week's imports
wore 1 bale from Calais, and 96 ditto from Ostend.
Mid and East Kent pockets, 141. Os to 171. 17s ; Weald
of Kent ditto, 101. Os to 12/. 12s ; Sussex ditto, 101. Os
to 12/. ; and foreign, 71. Os to 91. Os per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Very limited supplies of potatoes have reached us since
Monday last coastwise and by railway. The imports have
been 45 tons from Dublin, 5 from Cork, and 2 from
Limerick. The trade is toleraqy firm, as follows :
Kent and Essex regents, 130 s to 1504; Scotch ditto,
130 s to 140 s ; Scotch cups, 110 to 120 s ; foreign, 100 s to
120 s per ton.

WOOL.
Public sales of from 3,000 to 4,000 bales East India,
China, and other low foreign wools are appointed to take
place on the 13th and 14th inst. At these sales no fine
colonial will be brought forward. There is more doing in
English wool, and the finest qualities are rather dearer.
Foreign and colonial aro in better request, at full quota-
tions. Last week's imports wore 970 bales from• Sydney,
SOO from Algoa Bay, and 100 from Callao.

METROPOLITAN CAB FARES.-It is stated that the
hand-book, with a list of cab fares, and distances from
each and every leading cab stand, which the public has
so long expected from the Commissioners of Police, is
about to be issued. The list—besides having the advan-
tage of comprising at one time the several starting
places in and round the metropolis--will, it is said, have
the additional advantage of including very many dis-
tances which it was found difficult to attach to the
limited space allotted to the tables posted at every stand.
It is not stated why the Commissioners of Police have
not long since proceeded with the execution of this
work, without which the Hackney Carriage Acts of last
session can never receive their intended effect.
