MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE; MONDAY.-The country
markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat. The
trade was firmer, and is. per qr. more money was occasionally
realised. Spring corn was steady. The imports of foreign and
colonial produce into London last week comprised 54,237 qrs. of
wheat, 11,109 barley, 71,895 oats, 164 beans, 2,551 peas, 6,97$
linseed, 7,162 rapeseed 23,652 maize, 1,025 sundry,
12,091 barrels and nine hundred and seventy-six sacks of dour.
At Mark-lane fO-day there was a good show of English wheat,.
and the quality generally was satisfactory. The attendance of
millers was good, and the trade was firmer. Factors demanded
more money, but in order to conclude business, they
were compelled to accept last Monday's prices. With
foreign wheat the market was well supplied. Transac-
tions to a fair extent were concluded at about late rates.
The supply of barleywas moderate. With a firm trade full
prices were realised. Malt was dull on former terms. There
was a good show of oats on the stands ; sales progressed steadily,
and prices were well maintained. Beans were quiet, at the
rates previously' current. Peas sold slowly, but prices ruled
firm. Maize was quiet, but firm in value. Flour was purchased
cautiously on former terms.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, ISIoNDAY,-The total
imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to
9,932 head. In the. corresponding week in 1869 we received
13,178 ; in 1868, 8,890 ; 1111867, 15,004 ; and in 1866, 16,889 head.
Rather less steadiness has been noticed in the cattle trad&to-
day, owing to the rather more liberal character of the receipts
The supplies, however, have still been less than the average, and
prices in some instances have ruled rather easier ; they are still
very high. As regards beasts, the arrivals, both from abroad
and from our Cwn grazing districts, have been more numerous,
but the general quality has been indifferent. Really prime stock
has been disposed of at 6s. per eight pounds, but the
value of inferior breeds has had a drooping tendency.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we
received about 1,500 ; from other parts of England, 500; from
Scotland, 50 ; and from Ireland, about 100 oxen. The show of
sheep has been limited, but larger than on Monday last. The
demand has been inactive, at a decline of 2d. per Sibs. The
best Downs and half-breds have sold at ss. 10d. to 6s. per Sibs.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, • MONDAY.— Opening
Report.—lmport, per bill of entry, 4,460 bales. The market
opens to-day with a very fair inquiry, the run being for Ame-
rican. Apparently the run will be from 8,000 eales to 10,000
bales. There was no striking feature in the market to-day.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAY. —The inquiries
to-day in the market here for both yarns and goods are very
limited. The quieter feeling which became apparent on Friday
has become more marked to-day, and the tamer aspect of the
cotton market has induced spinners to accept offers which they
refused on Friday. This slight concession in price has led to
some business in yarn, chiefly for the home trade. The demand
for cloth is very flat, and without change in prices.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, MONDAY.—Opening Report.

51s. 9d,
