wheat
received fresh up from Essex and Kent, and the condition
of most of the samples was tolerably good. For white
qualities the demand was far from active; nevertheless,
in most instances, last Monday's prices were supported.
All red samples, however, met a very dull inquiry, at a
decline iu the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of
from 28. to 3s. per quarter.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well
as ex-granary. Some of the holders were rather anxious
sellers at late rates, but the majority of them were rather
firm in their demands. The amount of bu'iness doing in
all kinds was very limited, yet we have no change to notice
in the quotations.
There was very little doing in floating cargoes of grain.
The show of barley was not t,.) say extensive ; neverthe-
less, the trade was heavy, and prices gave way is per qr.
We had a dull inquiry for malt, on rather easier terms.
The show of foreign oats was very large. Good sound
qualities realised about previous rates, but inferior parcels
moved off slowly, at 6d to is per qr less money.
Although the supplies of beans and peas were rather on
the increase, those articles moved off steadily, at late
prices.
The flour trade was dull. Country marks and American
qualities were rather drooping in price.

Advices from Holland state that the demand for stock
on French account has been rather dull of late. Prices,
however, rule high. Only limited purchases of beasts and
sheep have been made in Spain for consumption iu France.
As some of the steamers laden with stock from Holland
have not been reported, the show of foreign beasts and
sheep here to-day was comparatively small.
From our own grazing districts the fresh arrivals of
beasts were moderately good ; nevertheless, as the atten-
dance of butchers was rather extensive, the

The show of sheep was again but moderate as to num-
ber. In their general quality, however a great improve-
inent was noticed. The mutton trade was firm, at fully
last Monday's currency. The best old Downs realised 5s 2d
per Blbs.
We were scantily supplied with calves, which moved off
steadily at Friday's quotations. The top figure was 5s 4d
per ',lbs.
Pigs, the show of which was moderate, changed hands
steadily, at full prices.

all new hops, and the late improvement in the quotations
is well supported. The show of samples is good.
