Thera was less activity in the demand for wheat in the
country markets held on Saturday. Holders, however,
both of rod and white produce, were very firm, and late
prices were supported. Fine barley commanded extreme
rates, whilst medium and inferior qualities commanded full
prices. For flour there was a fair demand, and the quo-
tations ruled firm.

The wheat trade on the Continent is very firm at fully
late rates. The supplies of produce afloat to this country
are gradually increasing. At New York the tendency of
prices is downwards.

Only moderato supplies of English grain have been re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad consisted of 3;,119 quarters of wheat; 21,623
barley ; 55,010 oats; 1,510 rye; 4,-121 beans; 1,621 peas;
20 tares; 8,160 linseed ; 13,108 rape and oilseeds; 426
maize ; 130 sundry seeds ; and 26,420 sacks of 11.)ur.
The supply of English wheat on sale here to-lay was
very moderato. The condition of the produce was but
middling. Owing to the largo import of wheat and flour
last week, there was much less activity in the trade, and
factors were firm in.their demands, and held both red and
white produce at fully the late advance in prices. Millers,
however, wore only buyers at lower prices; hence sales
progress slowly, and the business transacted was chiefly of
a retail character at last Monday's rates.
The market was but moderately supplied with foreign
wheat. The trade for most qualities was rather quiet. In
prices no change has taken place.
The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. Fine
qualities ruled firm, at full currencies. Medium and infe-
rior produce was dull and rather drooping in value.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at full
prices.
There was only a moderate demand for malt, at late rate.
With oats the market was moderately supplied. The
demand for all qualities ruled inactive, at. late rates.
Beans was in moderate supply. The trade, on the whole,
was steady, on former terms.
Peas were in moderato request, at previous quotations.
The market was fairly supplied. _ .

. _
In the value of flour no change took place. The trado
was firm.

Linseed and rapeseed-ruled quiet, on former terms. In
other seeds very little business was transacted.
Cakes were firm, and 5s per ton dearer than on Monday
last.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Although there was a fallingoff in the supply of foreign
stock, both as to number and quality, the demand for all
breeds ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency.
Fresh up to-day the arrivals of home-fed stock were
moderate, but in improved condition. The show of Irish
stock was rather extensive, of Scotch limited. For all
breeds the demand was in a sluggish state at, in some in-
stances, a decline in the quotations compared with Mon-
day last of 2d per 81bs. However, the best Scots and
crosses were worth 5s 40, per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 1,600 short-horns, ; from other parts
of England, 600 various breeds; 55 Scots and crosses ;
and from Ireland, 700 oxen,
The supply of English sheep was on the increase, and
most breeds come to hand in good condition. For all breeds
the demand was heavy in the, extreme at a reduction in
prices compared with Monday last of -Id per 81bs. A few
very inferior Downs and half-broils sold at Gs 4d ; but the
general top quotation was 6s per 81bs. Heavy Downs and
half-breds may be quoted at 5s 8d to 5s 10d, and prime
Lincolns 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs.
_ _

Calves were in moderate supply, and steady request at
full prices, viz., from 4s 8d to 5s per 81bs.
The sale for pigs was heavy on lower terms. The
supply was by no means extensive.
