rT SECURITIES.

The sale for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was heavy, at a decline in the quotations of from
ls. to 2s. per quarter. In all kinds of spring corn, as well
as flour, very little business was transacted on easier
terms.

On the Continent the demand for wheat, and most other
kinds of produce, has fallen off. The exports of grain and
/tour from America continue limited.

The arrivals of foreign grain, &c., into London last
week were 23,986 quarters of wheat, 15,900 barley, 4,007
oats, 1,908 rye, 690 beans, 23,132 linseed, 32,014 rapeseed,
3,719 maize, 285 sundry, 4,629 sacks end 3,421 barrels of
flour.

The supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was
very moderate, and the condition of the produce good.
Even for good and fine di; samples the trade was (lull,
while damp qualities were quite unsaleable. As regards

the former, the quotations were ls. per quarter lower than
on Monday last. In danip wheat very little was tran-
sacted, and the quotations were non,;ually 2,s per quaiLer
lower than on this day se'nuight.
Tho market was fa"ly supplied with foreign wheat, in
which sales progressed very slowly. The aggregate busi-
ness done was small, and at a decline in prices of is. per
quarter.

_
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request on rathor
easier terms.

The supply of Elglish barley on sale was moderate ; of
foreign, large. The trade was very inactive, and prices
decFned is. per quarter.
The malt trade was quiet in the extreme, at barely late
rates.

The market was moderately supplied with oats. The
trade for all qualities ruled heavy, and pikes had a droop-
ing tendency.
in the beaus, the market was extensively supplied. Tho
trade was depressed as regards all descriptions, and the
quotations were ls. t 3 2s. per quarter lower than on Mon-
day last. _ _

Peas were in but moderate supply, yet the trade was
shw, at barely late rates. . .

The flour trade was dull, and prices had a drooping

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was a fair average supply of foreign stock oz
offer here to-day, the time of year considered. Amongst
it were several shorn sheep in her condition. Sales pro-
gressed slowly, and the sales had a drooping tendency.
The arrival of beasts from our own grazing disti:cts
were only moderate. From Scotland the supply was toler-

sold at 5s to Os 2d per,Blb. The qaalityof the English beasts
was good, of Scotch very pl.me, and of Irish middling.

received about 1,600 Scots, crosses, and shc-thorns ; from
other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scot-
land, 346 Scots and crosses ; and, from Irelane 110 oxen
We were very scantily supplied with sheep, which went
off freely at an improvement in value of 4d per 81b. The
best Downs and half breeds in the wool sold at 6s to Gs 4d,
out of the wool 5s 4d, per 81b. The quality of the sheep
541 I was prime.
