MARK LANE.

Tho trade, for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was very quiet, and the rates of the previous
week were barely maintained. Barley, oats, beans, and
peas, however, wore steady and without material alteration
in value, The flour trade was quiet, at late prices.
On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet at drooping
currencies; but spring corn rules tolerably firm. At New
York the market both for wheat and flour is depressed, and
a considerable fall has taken place in the quotations.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate. The imports from abroad comprised
23,482 quarters of wheat, 7,661 barley, 27,736 oats, 1,406
rye, 10 beaus, 25 peas, 960 tares, 5,880 linseed, 4,192 rape
and oilseeds, and 1,900 sacks of flour.
The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to-day
was dull, but the condition of produce was good. Millers
showed more disposition to buy, and the show of produce
on the stands was disposed of at the rates of Monday last.
There was, however, a slight tendency to improve.
The market was fairly supplied with fresh wheat. The
amount of business transacted was moderate, and prices
ruled firm.

Floating cargoes of grain wore, in fair demand, at full
quo tat ions.
The sup ply of larley on sale was moderate. For mos
qualities there was a fair demand, at last Monday's
currency.

Malt sold heavily, and prices had a drooping tendency.
The market was but moderately supplied with ()Ms. For
must qualities there was a steady demand, and prices were
rather on the advance.

Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at
full currencies.

Peas, which wire in short supply, changod hands at full
currencies.

For flour there was a moderate inquiry at late rates.
The amount of business transacted in seeds was very
moderate. In prices no change took place.
Cakes were in firm demand at full quotations.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

A moderato supply of foreign stock was on sale here

to-day, in very middling condition. The trade, both for
beasts and sheep, was slow, at barely the rates of Monday

last.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of
beasts were only moderate. An increased supply was re-
ceived from Scotland, in prime condition. The attendance
of butchers, owing to the absence of the greater portion o
the country buyers, was small, and the beef trade, as re-
garded all qualities, ruled heavy, at a decline in the quo-
tations as compared with Monday last of 2d per Blbs. Prime
Sots and crosses realised 5s 4d por 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
shire amounted to 1,350 Scots, short-horns, and crosses;
from Lincolnshire, 140 oxen; from other parts of England,
400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 257 Scots and
crosses.

The supply of sheep in the pens was moderate, but the
quality and condition were only middling. The trade
was quieter than on Monday last, and that day's improve-
ment in the quotations was not maintained. Prime Downs
and half-breds sold at 5s 4d per 81bs.
A good supply of lambs was exhibited for sale, chiefly
in very middling condition. The trade was dull, and
prices were lower, the quotation being Gs to is. per 81bs.

ruled quiet, at late rates.
