Coastwise and by land carriage, a moderate supply of
English wheat came fresh to hand this morning ; but. in
the general quality of the samples we observed a slight imm•
provement. The attendance of buyers was by no means
numerous, yet most of the finest samples of both red and
white were disposed of at last Monday's currency. Damp
qualities were a dull inquiry. In prices, however, no
quotable change took,place.
The show of foreign wheat was moderately good. There
was no disposition shown by the millers to operate largely ;
yet importers were very firm, and prices were well sup-
ported.

F loating cargoes of grain were inactive, but not cheaper.
We were fairly supplied with home-grown and foreign
barley. On the whole, the trade ruled steady at full quo-
tations.

New malt was firm in price, but old parcels were a dull
inquiry on former terms.
The supplies of oats were rather limited. Although
there was no life in the oat trade, prioes generally were
well supported.
Beans, though in very moderate supply, moved off slowly
at last week's decline.
We had a dull inquiry for peas, at barely late rates.
The flour trade may be considered steady at last Mon-
day's currency.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
moderate, and its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good, and in very
prime condition ; indeed, the supply was one of tho best
we have ever seen at this period of the year. The remark-
ably even quality of the stock produced rather a dull mar-
ket for beef, and prices may be considered 2d per Sibs lower
than on Monday last. The best Scots sold at 4s 10d pet
81bs.

The arrivals from the northern districts were about
1,000 shorthorns, &c. ; from the eastern counties, 1,500
crosses ; from Scotland, 530 Seots and crosses ; and from
Ireland, 50 oxen. The remainder of the supply was derived
from various sources.

Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was on the in-
crease, the mutton trade was in a healthy state. Long
wools, especially, were in request, at fully last week's cur-
roncy. The best Downs realised 5s 6d per 81bs.
The supply of calves was limited, and the veal trade
ruled steady at 2d per 81bs more money.
There was a fair demand for pigs, at very full prices.

Thera is a steady business doing in all now hops, and the
late upward movement in the quotations is well supported.
