MA RKE TS. —This day.

MARK-LANE.

Most of the couutry markets held on Saturday wore
steady for wheat, at full prices, although the supplies were
rather on the increase. Barley and most other kinds of
produce moved off slowly, at barely previous -rates.

The Continental markets have shown more firmness for
wheat, but the transactions in it for spring shipment have
been rather limited. American advices bring lower rates
for both wheat and flour.

The imports of foreign and colonial grain, Sm., into
London last week comprised 23,274 quarters of wheat,
19,931 Larl.r, 20 beans, 4,130 tares, i-55 linseed, 21,330
inpeseed, 1,238 maize, 1,433 E undr ies, 4,799 sacks, and 33
barrels of flour.

The supply of English wheat on sale at our market, to-
day, was very moderate, but there was a decided improve-
ment in the condition of the samples. At the commerce-
went of business factors held both red and white qualities
at an advance in price from Monday last ; Lut millers
showed no disposition to respond to such a movement.
hence the market became very quiet, and sales progtessed
slowly, at previous quotations.

The market was moderately supplied with foreign
wheat. The amount of business transacted was rather
limited; nevertheless, prices ruled firm.
There was an improved demand for floating cargoes o
grain, at quite lato rates.
Tho supply of English barley on sale was only mode-
rato ;of foreign, good. The trade for all qualities was
dull, and prices declined is. per qr.
Malt was in limited request, at fully the late decline in
the quotations.

A fair supply of oats was upon the stands. The de-
mand for all descriptions was very quiet, and a fall of Gd•
per qr. took place in prices.
Beans were in but moderate supply. The trade ruled
quiet, at late rates.
Grey peas were firm in price, but for other qualities the
trade ruled quiet, on forme' terms. The market was but
mo'ierately supplied.

The flour trade was very quiet.
Linseed and rape seed were steady at previous quotations.
Sound Calcutta rape is very scarce.
There was a steady demand for %lover seed at full prices
In other seeds a fair business was doing..
The cake trade was dull at lower 'prices. Linseed de-
scriptions were 2s 61, and cotton seed 5s per ton lower
than on Monday last.

METROPOLITAN -CAT T LE.
There was rather a large supply of foreign boasts on sale
here to-day, chiefly in middling condition. The show of
foreign sheep was moderate, and calves limited. The de-
mand was inactive, and prices had a drooping tendency.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing dis-
tricts were on the increase, and in good saleable condition.
The supply from Scotland was only moderate, but very
prime; whilst the receipts from Ireland was limited. Not-
withstanding the prevailing cold weather, the demand for
all breeds of beasts was very inactive, at a decline in the
quotations of 2d. per 81bs. The general top figure was
5s 2d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received about 1,500 Scots, crosses, and Short horns; from
other parts of England, GOO various breeds; from Scotland,
234 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen, dc.
The supply of sheep was on the increase ; whilst most
breeds arrived of full averaga weight. The demand for
even the primest Downs, &0., *as slow, and the prices
realised on Monday last were with' difficulty supported.
The highest quotation was Gs 21 per 81bs.
The few lambs on offer sold slowly at 8s per 81bs.
There was a fair demand for calves, at full prices, viz.,
os to Gs per 81bs. The supply was limited.
Prime small pigs were in improved request, at extreme'
rates. Large pigs, however, were very dull, but not cheaper
