LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY.-The unfavourable
reports from the continent, and speculative purchases, have
strengthened the tone of the grain trade. At the provincial
markets, held on Saturday, wheat was purchased more freely,
at an advance of Is. per qr. Spring corn also was steady. The
import of foreign and colonial produce into London last week
consisted of 28,496 quarters of wheat, 2,798 barley, 112,869 oats,
1,250 rye, 1,146 peas, 11,695 linseed, 17,790 maize, 35
sundry, 9,094 barrels, and 5,805 sacks of Ilona. The
receipts of wheat from Essex and Kent were on a moderate
scale. There was a good attendance of millers, and the trade
was steady for all qualities. A clearance was made at the full
prices of Monday last. With foreign wheat the market was
fairly supplied. Sales progressed steadily, and the quotations
were well maintained. The supply of barley has been moderate.
The demand has been firm, and a fair business has
been concluded in all qualities, at full currencies.
Malt has been quiet, at previous quotations. Oats have com-
manded a fair amount of attention, and have been disposed
of at fully late rates. The supply has been good. Beans have
been in moderate request, at steady prices. Peas have been
firm, and quite as dear. Flour has sold freely, and
prices have been well supported. The top price of town made
is now 475. per 2801bs.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY.-The total
imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to
12,629 head. In the corresponding week in 1869 we received
13,762 ; in 1868, 18,233 ; in 1867, 14,765 ; and in 1866, 17,553 head.
Quietness has been the feature of the cattle trade to-day, and
prices have had a drooping tendency. The receipts of beasts
have been limited, owing to the stoppage of about 1,200 head at
the waterside. In future all arrivals from Germany and France
will be slaughtered at the place of debarkation, and only the
Dutch and Spanish beasts be allowed to come to market. Really
choice breeds have continued scarce, and have occasionally
made Els., although ss. 10d. has been the general
top figure. Other qualities have fallen 2d. per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire,
1,700 shorthorns, &e., from other parts of England, 320
various breeds, from Scotland about 70 Scots and crosses, and
from Ireland 350 head. The show of sheep has been again
limited, and the bulk of the supply has come to hand in in-
different condition. Sales have progressed slowly, and some
difficulty has been experienced in making last Monday's prices
for the first breeds, whilst infirm sorts have been fully 2d. per
81bs. easier. The best Downs and half-breds have sold at ss. 10d.
to 6s. per 81bs. Calves have been dealt in quietly and pigs have
been in limited request. Per 81bs. to sink the offal: --Coarse
and inferior beasts, Es. 6d. to 4s. 4d. ; second quality ditto,
4s. 6d. to 4s. 10d. ; prime large oxen, ss. Od. to ss. 6d. ; prime
Scots, ss. Bd. to ss. 10d. ; coarse and inferior sheep, 3s. Bd. to
Od. ; second quality ditto, 4s. 2d. to 4s. Bd. ; prime coarse-
woolled sheep, 4s. 10d. to ss. 6d. ; prime Southdown ditto,
58. Bd. to Os. Od. ; large coarse calves, 35. 6d. to 4s. 6d. ;

Calves-English 150, foreign 12, total 162. Pigs-English 100,
total 100.
LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY.-The supply
of stock was much larger at this market to-day than on last
Monday. The demand was fair for cattle, at lower prices,
especially for inferior qualities. Sheep were in good demand,
and without change in value. Beef 61,d. to 81d. per lb.
Mutton, 71d. to 91d. There were at the market, 2,662 cattle,
and 12,659 sheep.
METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET, MONDAY.-The market
has been moderately supplied with meat. The trade has been
heavy at our quotations :-Per 81b. by the carcase.-Inferior
beef, Ss. 4d. to 3s. Bd.: middling do., 3s. Bd. to 4s. ; prime
large do., 4s. Bd. to ss. ; prime small do., 4s. 10d. to ss. 2d. ;
large pork, 3s. Bd. to 4s. ; inferior mutton 3s. to 4s. ; middling

70s. to 80s. per ton : Regents, 50s. to 100 s. per ton; rocks, 40s.
to 60s. per ton.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET, MONDAY.—Picking has now
been brought to a conclusion, and it must be confessed that
the results have proved eminently satisfactory. The trade has
continued fairly active at full quotations: The import into
London last week consisted of fifty bales from Antwerp, 29
from Rotterdam, ten from Ostend, and fifty from Ghent.
Weald of Kents, £3 ss. to £4 10s. ; Mid and East Kents, £4 to
£7 ' • Sussex, £3 to £3 15s. ; Farnham and country, £4 10s. to
£6 6s. ; and olds, £1 to £2 105. per cwt.
LONDON WOOL MARKET, MONDAY.—Less animation has
been apparent in the wool market, and business has been con-
fined within very moderate limits. Good lustre wools continue
to command the larger share of attention, and to sell at full
prices. Other qualities are neglected. Last week's London im-
port comprised about 1,000 bales from the Continent. Current
prices of English wool :—Shears.—Southdown hog•getts, ls. to
ls. ld. per lb. ; half-bred ditto, ls. 2d. to ls. 3d. ; Kent fleeces,
is. lid. to ls. ; Southdown ewes and wethers, 10d. to 11d. ;

METROPOLITAN TALLOW MARKET, MONDAY. The

market has been steadier. New Y.C. spot, 445. 3d. ; old,
435. 3d. per cwt. Town tallow, 41s. 9d. nett cash. Particulars,
1870 :-Stock this day, 27,627 ; price of Y.C., 435. 3d. old, 445. 3d.
new ; delivery last week, 2,569 ' • ditto from June 1, 34,938 ;
arrival last week, 1,313 ; ditto from June 1, 30,305 ; price of
town, 445. 3d.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.-Opening Re-
port.-Imports, per bill of entry, 4,258 bales. The market
opens quietly to-day, with a prospective dragging business dur-
ing the day. Prices are in favour of the buyers. The sales are
likely to be 10,000 bales.
COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE MARKETS, MON-
DAY.-Very little business has been transacted, but prices are
maintained. Sugar quiet, at fully late rates. Coffee is steady
in demand and value. In fair to good Congou teas there is rather
more doing, at full prices, Saltpetre and rice dull but un-
changed in value. Metal neglected. Strait's tin remains quoted
at £124 to £124 10s. ; Chili bar copper, £63 108. to £64 ; Spelter,
£l7 10s. Oils in firm request. Linseed, 31s. 3d. ; London, 30s.

265. 6d. ; French petroleum, ls. 51d to is. 6d. Butter quiet'
at drooping prices. Friesland quoted 1308. to 1345. Fair sup-
ply of liamburgh bacon, prices rangingfrom 68s. to 725., landed ;
best Waterford, 785., F.o.b.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAY.-The same
quiet tone still prevails in this market, and the business doing
is quite insignificant. Prices continue to droop daily, and
buyers shew an unwillingness to repeat previous offers. The
failure of Jule's Favres's peace mission, and the evident inten
tion of the French to fight to the bitter end, induce merchants
to act with great caution, and limit their operations so as to
be in a favourable position to meet any emergency.
CAMBRIDGE HORSE AND WOOD FAIR, MONDAY.-The cele-
brated Cambridge horse, onion, and wood fair commenced to-day,
and was in most departments the largest that has been held for
some years. There was a very good show of horses, and greater
activity was manifested by the presence of agents, who pur-
chased a number of riding horses at from thirty to
thirty-five guineas each, for exportation to France.
There was a fair show of hunters, selling at from
fifty to sixty guineas each. Cart-horses were rather scarce,
as also were agricultural 'horses, which were in capital form ;
but the trade was rather slow. There was a large quantity of
onions from Bedfordshire, which averaged from is. Od. to 4s. a
bushel. About the usual quantity of wood was piled, and good
prices were realised. The weather was fine, and the attendance,
consequently, large. A brisk business was done in the hop
trade by the ost prominent merchants.
