MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY.-The provincial
markets held on Saturday were moderately supplied with wheat,
Very little business was transacted, and prices were without
change. Spring corn was quiet, on former terms. The import
of foreign and colonial produce into London last week comprised
35,415 qrs. of wheat, 5,799 barley, 97,392 rye, 92 beans, 3,460
tares, 7,124 linseed, 14,861 rapeseed, 38,821 maize,
334 sundry, 5,190 sacks and 9,271 baarels of flour.
Much quietness has been noticed in the grain trade at Mark-
lane to-day. The attendance of members has been thin, and
business has been transacted on a very limited scale. From
Essex and Kent the receipts of new wheat have been moderate
and the shew of old produce has been trifling, The demand has
been inactive, and some difficulty has been experienced in
realising last Monday's prices. In fact forced sales could only
be concluded on lower terms. The shew of foreign wheat has
been moderate. The inquiry has been restricted at drooping prices.
With moderate supplies of barley the trade has been quiet, at
late rates. Malt has been dull, on former terms. Full average
supplies of oats have been on offer. The inquiry has been
restricted, at previous quotations. Beans have been quiet, and
there has been very little demand for peas. Prices have been
without change. Flour has been dull, at drooping prices. A
large supply of new mustard seed has been on sale, but very few
transactions have taken place in it.
LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY.-At this market
to-day the supply of cattle and sheep was much larger than on
last Monday ; the supply of lambs was less. The demand was
very good for cattle, at rather higher prices for the best quali-
ties. Middling cattle were unchanged. Sheep, except a few of
very prime quality, sold lower. There was no change in the
value of lambs. Beef, 61d. to 81d. per lb. ; mutton, 7d. to 81d.
per lb.; lamb, 'lid. to 81d. per lb. There were at the market
2,708 cattle and 16,990 sheep and lambs.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY. - The
total import of foreign stock into London last week amounted
to 15,946 head. In the corresponding week in 1869 we recorded
12,776, in 1868, 4,542 ; in 1867, 10,789 ; in 1866, 16,854 ; arid in
1865, 26,208 head. The cattle trade is without material change.
The receipts of stock have been about an average, and have
been sufficient to meet demands. From our own grazing
districts the arrivals of beasts have been moderate, and in-
cluded in the show of foreign have been some fresh arrivals
from Tonning. It is expected, however, that the shipments of
beasts from that port will now cease. Prime breeds have con-
tinued scarce, and have commanded full prices ss. Bd. per 8 lbs.
being occasionally obtained, otherwise the demand has ruled
heavy. FromLincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
we received about 1,500 shorthorns, &c., from other parts of Eng-
land about 500 various breeds. The show of sheep was good.
The trade was quiet, but prices generally were fairly maintained.
The best Down and halfbreds sold at ss. 4d. to 5s Bd. per 81b.
Lambs have been quiet. Calves have sold slowly, and there has
not been much demand for pigs. Per 81b. to sink the offal : -
Inferior beasts, 3s. 6d. tfr 4s. 2d. ; second quality ditto, 4s. 4d.
to 4s. Bd. ; prime large oxen, 4s. Bd. to ss. 4d. ; prime Scots,

second quality ditto, 3s. 10d. to 4s. 6d. ; prime Cot-
swold wooled sheep, 4s. Bd. to ss. 2d. ; prime South-
down, ditto, ss. 4d. to ss. Bd. ; large coarse calves, 3s. 4d.
to 4s. 4d. ; prime small ditto, 4s. Bd. to ss. 6d. ; large hogs, 4s.
2d. to ss. ; neat small porkers, ss. 4d. to ss. Bd. ; lamb, ss. 10d.

middling ditto, 3s. Bd. to 45.; Prime large ditto, 4s. 2d. to

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS POTATO MARKET, MoN-
DAY.—These markets have been moderately supplied with
potatoes. The trade has been rather firmer, at full prices.
English shaws, 80s. to 90s. ; regents, 90s. to 110 s. per ton.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE, MONDAY.—Business
to-day has been on a very moderate scale. Tea has sold slowly
and there has been very little inquiry for either sugar or coffee,
but prices have been maintained. In the metal market next to
nothing has been doing, and prices have shewn no change. Oils
have been quiet and unaltered. For tallow the demand has been
inactive. Y.C., spot, old, 425. 9d., new, 445. 9d., town tallow,
445. 35., net cash. Stock, 32,819 casks, against 20,310 casks last
year.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—Opening re-
port : Import per bill of entry, 11,376 bales. The market
opened in the same dragging manner as was witnessed on Satur-
day. There was more desire to sell, The anxiety respecting
the prospects of peace was increased. The sales were expected
to be about 8,000 bales. Closing report : The demand for
cotton as the day advanced rather increased. The sales were
about twelve thousand bales, two thousand being for specula-
tion and export. There were no transactions to arrive. Ameri-
cans were is. Bd. dearer, whilst holders of East India have tried
to estnblish is. Bd. higher, but have failed in doing so.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAY.—This market
shews very little alteration to-day, as the quiet tone which has
prevailed for a week still continues. Prices are steadily but
very gradually tending downwards ; at the same time there is
no pressure to sell, as most producers are under contract fora month
or six weeks. Buyers now make fewer offers for quantities than
they did, preferring to wait the future course of events, which
tend towards a lower range of prices.

- -
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, MONDAY.—Opening report :
—This market was a shade firmer to-day. Business was done at
51s. Bd. and 51s. 9d. cash. Closing rather better ; buyers at latter
prices.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The Mark Lane Express says : Though a heavy rain
fell on Monday night, the past week throughout was dry,
with a much lower temperature. The meadows, there-
fore revive but slowly, though much corn has been
gathered in fair condition ; and it seems this
season will have no sprouted grain though
it may be occasionally damp. While we have com-
paratively been dry, they have had much rain on
the Continent, especially in Belgium, enough, indeed, to
renew the potato disease extensively. So what with
our short crop here and this disaster abroad, we are not
likely to have a superabundance of this valuable tuber,
excepting in Scotland, whence reports come highly favour-
able. Rain is still wanted badly for the turnips, winter
tare-sowing, ploughing, &c., and the ponds have
in some places become very low, and in others quite dried
up. So, as a whole, the produce of -1870 threatens to be
very short, excepting in small fruit and apples, which are
abundant.

Farmers have continued to be busily engaged in the
osecution of harvest work. In the southern part of the
kingdom these operations the Magnet says may be con-
sidered as concluded, and also to have been effected
under most favourable auspices, owing to the
comparative absence of wet weather. The land
in many instances has been already ploughed
up. In the more northern countries a consider-
able proportion of the crops has been already secured,
mostly in good condition. From Scotland the reports
are satisfactory. On the coast side harvest work is
eneral. In the Turriff district harvest is half finished.
In the Inverurie district more than the half of the crops
have been cut, and a considerable portion of barley has
been led. In the Alford district, tatting is general, and
a portion of the crop has been led. In the Highland
districts, harvest will be very early this season, a com-
mencement having been made with the cutting of barley
in some of the most elevated districts. In Morayshire,
last Sunday was reported to be " stoolde Sunday"—that
is to say, the greater portion of the crop was cut and in
stock. Indeed, over the three counties much of the barley
crop is not only cut, but is secured in the stack yard. The
yield both of straw and grain is generally good, the barley
being of beautiful colour. The oat crop will be short

to save the turnip crop from destruction ; and if we have
showers now and then that crop may yet prove an
average, though there are some places where it is past

being much benefitted. Pastures have been a good deal
refreshed, and are looking more verdant than they have
been for some time, though there is little growth as yet.
The result of the harvest in Ireland is decidedly satis-
factory.

IRELAND AND FRANCE.—The French sympathisers
in Ireland continue to collect subscriptions for the French
wounded, and on Saturday a second remittance of "10,000
francs" was forwarded to her Majesty the Empress of the
French. The local branch of the International Society,
which commenced operations only a few days ago,
announce their subscriptions in the less imposing form of
pounds sterling. A sum of £lBO has been subscribed by
the general public, and in addition the Bank of Ireland
has given £250.

THE LATE MR. W. F. WINDHAM.—The Hon.
A. Kinnaird, M.P., the receiver appointed by the Court
of Chancery of the income accruing from the estates of
the Windham family, at Hanworth, Norfolk, has just
made his first visit to the property. The hon. gentleman
represents the interests of the son of the late Mr. W. F.
Windham. Mr. Kinnaird, who was accompanied by
Mr. Roche, solicitor, was entertained at luncheon
by Mr. and Mrs. Windham-Walker, the guardians of
the heir.
