CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to-day the supply of English wheat was very
moderate, and the show of samples was consequently
small. Fine dry qualities were in fair request, at full
prices, but other kinds were rather dull, at Alonday's cur-
rency.

The imports of foreign wheat have been good, viz.,
18,460 qrs. Most descriptions met a slow inquiry, never-
theless late rates were supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were rather firmer than on
Monday, but the business doing in them was not ex-
tensive.

We had a moderate sale for barley, at Monday's quota-
tions.

Malt continues dull, on former terms.
The supply of foreign oats being very extensive, inferior
qualities were dull, and rather cheaper. Fine samples
ruled firm.

Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To•day's market was but moderately supplied with most
breeds of beasts, which sold steadily, at Monday's quota-
tions. Although the show of sheep was limited the
mutton trade was in a depressed state, and late rates were
barely supported. Calves were in limited supply and
steady demand, at fully Monday's advance in price. In
pigs about an average business was doing, on former
terms.

lch cows sold slowly, at from 14g. to 191. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP.

The business in all kinds of hops, the show of which
is good, is less extensive than of late. Prices, however, are
supported. Very few foreign hops are on offer.

TEA.— There has been a moderate amount of business
done in the more useful sorts, but no reduction in prices
can be quoted. Good sound congou brought 94d to 90
per lb.
SUGAR.—The supplies on the market being still very
limited, business to any extent has been in some measure
checked. Notwithstanding a good demand exists both for
home use and for speculation. The rates obtained for most
descriptions have been fully equal to previous quotations,
and in a few instances an advance of 6d per cwt has taken
place.
COFFEE.—There has been a good demand for plantation
and native Ceylon, and at public sale previous values were
readily realised.
RICE.—The lower qualities still continue in good de-
mand,
meegr values.

DUNDEE TRADE REPORT.—The flax market has been
very firm throughout the week, and full rates have been
paid in such transactions as have taken place. Holders,
however, act with a considerable degree of reserve, and
in many instances refuse sales except at an advance on
