Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited
business was transacted, at drooping prices. Barley moved
off slowly, on easier terms. Oats, beans, peas, and flour
met a dull inquiry.
The continental markets have been inactive for most
articles. In prices, however, very little change has taken
place. The American markets have ruled steady, with
fair average shipments to England.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were small. From abroad, the imports were 17,206
qrs. of wheat, 10,649 barley, 10,364 oats, 47 beans, 160
peas, 109 tares, 10 linseed, 111 mustard seed, 2,087 sundry
seeds, 243 sacks and 13,010 brie. of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market, to-day, coastwise, was very limited, but in fair
average condition. By and carriage, the receipts were
small. Notwithstanding that advices have reached us
from St. Petersburg, to the effect that the Emperor of
Russia has prohibited the shipment of grain from the
Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff, and that the show of
samples was small, millers evinced no disposition to pur-
chase beyond immediate wants. The trade was, therefore,
dull, and in some instances prices ruled is per qr. beneath
those of Monday last.
With foreign wheat we were well supplied. The sale
for all descriptions was heavy, and the currencies had a
downward tendency—the fall being about is per quarter.
Fine qualities were, however, mostly held on former terms.
We had an improved inquiry for fine malting barley,
the value of wheat had an upward tendency. Grinding
and distilling sorts were steady.
There was an improved demand for malt, at the extreme
rates obtained last week.

request. In prices, no change took place.
The sale for beans was heavy, at barely late rates.
White peas were very dull, and 2s per quarter lower.
Grey and maple were unaltered, but very dull.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign beasts,
but the show of sheep and calves was very moderate.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were large, the time of year con-
sidered, and in excellent condition. Although the attend-
ance of buyers was good, and the weather favourable for
slaughtering, the beef trade was in a dull state, at a de-
cline in the prices of Monday last of 2d per Blbs. A few
very superior Scots realised 4s 6d, but the general top
figure for beef was 4s 4d per 81bs.
Tne arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,600 Scots and short horns; from
other parts of England, 700 of various kinds ; and from
Scotland, 400 Scots.
With sheep we were well supplied. In their general
quality we observed a slight improvement. For all breeds
we had a very inactive demand, at last Monday's currency:
The best old Downs were selling et 5s per 81bs. The few
shorings on offer sold at 8s per 81bs under those in the
wool.
