MARKE TS. —This day.

MARK-LANE.

In most of the leading country markets held on Saturday
fine dry wheats were in good request, at full prices, but
inferior kinds were much neglected. Barley, oats, and
most other grain commanded very little attention, at late
rates. Flour was very quiet.
. _

The continental markets have become steady for wheat;
but spring corn has sold slowly. in the United States
the export demand continues limited.

The imports of foreign and colonial produce into London
last week consisted of 1,926 qrs. of wheat, 945 barley, 3,749
oats, 500 beans, 1,677 peas, 25 tares, 9,985 linseed, 20,541
rapeseed, 380 maize, 140 sundry, 950 sacks and 5,300
barrels of flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate, while the condition of
the produce was poor. Good and fine dry samples com-
manded an improved sale, at the full prices of Monday
last; but damp produce met a slow inquiry, on former
terms. At the commencement of business the best wheats
were held at an advance of Is per quarter, but some of the
factors were unsuccessful in obtaining more money.
The supply of foreign wheat on offer was moderate. An
increased amount of business was transacted, and all de-
scriptions of produce changed hands at fully late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at last
Monday's currency.

The market was moderately supplied with barley. In
most descriptions sales progressed slowly on former terms.
In malt only a moderate business was transacted at late
rates.

There was a fair supply of oats on the stands. The trade
was without activity. Nevertheless prices ruled stationary.
Beans were in fair supply and slow request, at the late
decline in prices.

The supply of peas on sale was only moderate. The
trade was quiet, yet prices were steadily supported.
In flour about an average business was transacted at late
r ates.

Linseed and rapeseed met a slow sale at about previous
quotations.

Agricultural seeds aro beginning to attract attention; as
yet, a very moderate business has been transacted in them,
Cakes worn in fair demand at late prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was about an average supply of foreign stook on
sale here to-day, in fair condition. Several lots of shorn
sheep were amongst it.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts wore only moderate, but mostly of prime quality.
The receipts from Scotland were tolerably good ; from Ire-
land, limited. The demand for most breeds ruled steady,
and, in some instances, the quotations were rather higher
than on Monday last. The best Scots and crosses realised
5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received abuut 1,300 Scots, short horns, clic. ; from other
parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 360
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 128 oxen, Jrc.
Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was limited
all breeds moved off slowly, at drooping currencies. The
best Downs and half-breds, in the wool, sold at 6s to 6s 2d
per Blbs ; out of tho wool, 58 to 5s 2d. The quality of the
stock was prime.

Lambs, the show of which was moderate, wore inae.
vo, at from 7s 4tl to 8s per Sibs.

Calves Were in short supply, and steady request, at late
rates, viz., from 4s Gd to 5s 2d per Blbs.
...

In pigs next to nothing was doing. Pricos, however
were supported. The top figure was 4s 4d per 81bs.
