There was a steady demand for wheat in most of the
country markets held on Saturday, and prices had an
upward tendency. Barley met a slow inquiry, but other
produce was in fair request, at extreme rates.
On the Continent the trade has shown some signs of im-
provement. In prices, however, very little change has
taken place. The American markets have continued
inactive.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were limited. The imports from abroad amounted to
13.626 qrs of wheat, 21,704 barley, 19,465 oats, 3,620 rye.
5,847 beans, 240 peas, 11,825 linseed, 5,210 rapeseed, 293
sundry seeds, 1,023 sacks and 3541 brls of flour.
The supplies of English wheat received fresh up to our
market this morning, coastwise and by land carriage,
were on a very moderate scale; consequently, the show of
samples of both red and white was rather limited. Fac-
tors generally were very firm in their demands ; but the
demand was by no means active. In some instances,
however, prices were a shade higher than on Monday last ;
but the market closed slowly at that day's currency.
We were tolerably well but not to say heavily supplied
with foreign wheat. Good and useful qualities wera in
fair request, at full quotations', but other kinds moved off
slowly, on former terms. In floating cargoes of grain a
fair average business was doing.
English barley was scarce, and quite as dear as last
week. In foreign parcels, the show of which was good,
only a moderate business was passing, at barely late rates.
Fine malt was held at full prices, but inferior kinds met
a dull inquiry, on former terms. We had a steady, but
not to say active, inquiry for oats, at fully last week's
quotations.
Beans moved off steadily, at an advance of ls. per
quarter.
In peas a moderate business was passing, on former terms.
The flour trade was firm, and country marks were a
shade higher than last week.

The show of foreign stock was very moderate, and the
principal portion of it was composed of merino sheep from
11ambargh.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of
beasts were only moderate, and the general condition of the
stock was seasonably good. For nearly all breeds, owing to
an increased attendance of butchers, the demand ruled
somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations realised
on Monday last of fully 4d per Blbs. The general top price
WAS 45 4d, but a few very superior Scots realised nearly
45 6d per 8113..
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,553 Scots and short horns, from other parts of
England 400 of various breeds, from Scotland 87 Scots, and
from Ireland 100 oxen, Sze., 25 of which were received from
the show yard of the Irish Agricultural Society hold in
Dublin, and which were of unusually prime quality.
Compared with Monday last the supply of sheep exhibited
a deficiency, but most breeds wera of full average weight.
On the whole, the mutton trade was brisk, and prices were
from 2d to 4d per 81bs higher than on this day se'nnight.
Prime old Downs, in the wool, realised 5s 2d—out of the
wool, 4s 6d per 81bs. As the sheep are now mostly coming
to hand shorn, this is the last day we shall make any dis-
tinction in them.
