MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MONDAY.—
The provincial markets, held on Saturday, were fairly supplied
with wheat. The trade was quiet, and prices were generally
ls. to 2s. per qr. lower. Spring corn of all descriptions was
inactive. The import of foreign and colonial produce into Lon-
don last week comprised 22,320 qrs. of wheat, 7,277 barley,
93,802 oats, 202 rye, 1,069 beans, 540 peas, 90 tares, 2,278 linseed,
10,164 rapeseed, 15,280 maize, 150 sundry, and 3,768 sacks of flour.
The grain trade at Mark-lane to-day has been in a quiet state.
The receipts of new English wheat have been on a more
liberal scale, but the quality has been very varied. Of old
produce very few samples have been exhibited. There has
been a thin attendance of millers, and the demand has ruled
quiet for all descriptions, at about the rates current on Mon-
day last. With foreign wheat the market has been well
supplied. Sales bane progressed slowly on former terms.
dloderate supplies of barley have been on offer. Business has
been conducted on a limited scale, at about late quotations.
Malt has been quiet, on former terms. With oats
the market has been fairly supplied. The trade has
not been active, but prices have ruled firm. Beans
have been dull and drooping. Peas have commanded
but little attention, at barely late currencies. There
has been a moderate demand for flour. American barrels
have been in request for France at full quotations. In English

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, MONtAY.-The total
imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to
11,940 head. In the corresponding week in 1869, we received
12,570 ; in 1868, 7,958; in 1867, 8,163 ; and in 1866, 15,877 head.
Devoid of any feature of importance, the cattle trade has been
in a quiet state to-day, and the increased liberality of the re-
ceipts has in some instances weakened prices. The arrivals of
beasts from our own grazing districts have been on a moderate
scale, but they have included but few specimens of choice
qualities. A fair number has been received from Tonning, and
Spain has sent a moderate supply, in generally-speaking good
condition. As regards trade, prime breeds have been
in request, at from ss. 4d. to ss. 6d. per 81bs. Other-
wise the demand has been inactive, at about late rates.

land 600 various breeds, and from Irelandabout 100 oxen. With
sheep the market has been fairly supplied. There has been a
healthy inquiry, at improving currencies. The best Downs and
half-breds have sold occasionally at ss. Bd., but ss. 6d. per 81bs.
