At the various country markets held on Saturday there
was a good show of new English wheat, the demand for
which was heavy, at a decline varying from is to 3s per
quarter. Flour was very quiet, but spring corn generally
was firm in value.

The imports of foreign grain, &e., into London last week
consisted of 25,681 quarters of wheat, 2,874 barley, 39,075
oats, 3,205 beans, 5,983 peas, 157 tares, 150 linseed, 10,798
rapeseed, 5,610 maize, 4,191 sacks, and 8,4-16 barrels of flour.
The supply of old English wheat on sale hero to-day was
very limited--of new, seasonably extensive. 0 wing to the
favourable accounts at hand in reference to tho progress of
harvest-work, and to the yield of the now crops, the de-
mand for both rod and white qualities was heavy at a de-
cline in the
.quotations, compared with Monday last, of
from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. At that decline a clearance
Was not effected.
The show of foreign wheat was good. Even the finest
samples wore neglected, and prices gave way ls. to 2s. per
quarter.

There was a fair demand for floating cargoes of wheat
at about previous rates.
Barley, owing to its scarcity, was quite as dear as last
week.
Tho malt trade was heavy, and late rates wore barely
supported. The supply of malt was tolerably good.
Oats maintained their previous value, with a steady con-
sumptive demand.
The few beans on the stands commanded full quotations.
Peas were quite as dear as last week.
The flour trade was heavy, and prices had a drooping
tendency. Country flour was offering at quite is per
2801bs. less money.
Samples of new Eng'ish barley, grey peas, and white
mustard-seed were on offer in good condition. Prices,
however, were uncertain. Barley was held at 40s, and
grey peas at the same price.
Agricultural seeds supported previous rates. In cakes
very little was doing.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on
offer here to-day. The general condition of the beasts was
inferior, of the sheep and calves good. Sales progressed
slowly, and prices were a shade lower than last week.
Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of English
boasts were rather on the increase; but the quality of
most breeds was only middling. On the whole, the be f
trade was in a sluggish state. Prime Scots, short horns,
&c., sold at full prices, but inferior stock was rather
cheaper. The top quotation was 53 per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received about 1,560 short horns, &c. ; from
other parts of England, 600 various broods; from Scot-
land, 8 Scots ; and from Ireland, 160 cows, &c., the latter
in very poor condition.
We were again but moderately supplied with sheep, the
quality of which was by no means first-rate. Primo
Downs and half-breds realised full quotations; but in-
ferior breeds were rather cheaper. Tho highest price
was 5s 4d per 81bs.
Lambs— the supply of which was seasonably good—
moved off heavily at late rates, viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 6d
per 81bs.
W o had a dull sale for calves at drooping prices. Tho
highest figure was 5s 2d per Blb3. The supply of foreign
calves was extensive.
