MARKETS.

LONDON CORN MARKET, MONDAY.-Fresh up to Mark-lane
to-day the arrivals of wheat have been on a limited scale, and the
quality generally has been inferior. Choice qualities were disposed
of at about late quotations, but inferior produce was only saleable
on lower terms. Fair average supplies of foreign wheat were on
:the stands, but choice supplies were the exception. Transac-
' tions were quite of a retail character, at hardly late rates. The
market was moderately supplied with barley. For
all quotations the demand has been inactive, and
.prices have ruled in favour of purchasers. Malt has been quiet,
at about late rates. Oats, the show .of which has been good,
• have been in limited request, at drooping prices. Beans have
been quiet, at about last week's quotations ; the supply has been
moderate. There has been p., moderate supply of peas on the
• stands. The inquiry has been limited, and some difficulty has
been experienced in 'realising previous prices. There has been
a continuance of the export inquiry for American barrel flour
' for export to France, and prices have been supported. Other
qualities have been unaltered.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAY.—This market to-
clay has disappointed the hopes of sellers, who came to business
with the expectation of realising an advance in value, owing to the
reported very strong cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday.
These hopes have not been realised, as the telegram from Liver-
pool reported the market quiet to-day. Prices here are very
steady at Friday's rates. The amount of busines doing is not
large, but sufficient to maintain steadiness in values.

to-day the supply of cattle was larger, and of sheep about the
same as on last Monday. The demand was very good for both
cattle and sheep, at the extreme prices of last Monday. Beef,
