and all other quarters was very moderate, but of full ave-
rage quality. The stands were scantily supplied with sam-
pies of both redand white; white the demand for all kind
was steady and last Monday's prices were fairly sups
ported in every instance. At the close of the market.
nearly the whole of the samples had found buyers.
Comparatively speaking, the show of Foreign wheat
samples was small, but fully adequate to
wants of the millers. Really fine meet the

was heavy. Grinding and Distilling sorts, the supply of
which was small, were firm, at full rates of currency.
Notwithstanding the supply of Malt was small, that
article, both on the spot and for forward delivery, was
a slow sale, but we have no alteration to notice in its
value. The limited arrivals of Oats induced the holders
to demand higher rates for that Grain. As the dealers
refused to give any advance, the amount of business
doing was small, at late figures. In Beans, compara-
tively little was passing. In prices we have no change,
to report, with a moderate demand. Very few Peas.
were brought forward, nevertheless sales progressed
slowly, at last week's currencies. Indian Corn and Meal
w ere again dull, but prices were mostly supported. All
kinds of Flour moved off slowly at our quotations.

Although the attendance of bothand country
buyers was somewhat numerous, the Beenf trade was in
a very dull state, at a decline in the quotations obtained
on this day se'nnight of 2d per 81bs, the highest figure
for the best Scots not exceeding 4sper 81bs, and a total
clearance was not effected. The droves . from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, coanwinsbtoed of about
1,300 Scots and short horns, with a f

Ilerefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of Eng-
land, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 460
horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were
again on the increase, and of full average quality. The
primest old Downs, out of the wool, were in steady re-
quest at last week's prices, riz., from 5s to 5s 2d per
81bs; but the demand for the middling and inferior
breeds was far from active, without, however, any altera-
tion in value, From the Isle of Wight 200 Lambs
came to had. The receipts from other quarters were
liberal. On the whole, the Lamb trade was firm, at
Friday's advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, prime
Down qualities selling at 6s 10d per 81bs. Calves were
in good supply and steady request, at late currencies.
Pigs were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
