MARKE T S.---This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day was very inactive at drooping prices. For barley, oats,
beans, and peas, the trade was in a sluggish state at
about late currencies. Flour moved off slowly at late
prices.
On the Continent the demand for wheat was inactive at
late rates. Spring corn is in limited request at last week's
currency. At Now York very little business is doing in
wheat and flour for export to Great Britain.
East India linseed and rapeseed, although in very mo-
derate request, ruled firm, at full currencies. Mustard seed
was held at high prices. In other seeds the trade was
quiet, on former terms.
The cake trade was firm, and rather higher prices were

obtained.
Small supplies of English grain were received up
to our
market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of
28,967 quarters of wheat, 13,965 barley, 50,919 oats, 10
rya, 900 beans, 105 peas, 2,540 rapeseed, 3,310 sundry
seeds, and 1,522 sacks of flour.
The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to-
day was small, but the condition of the produce was good.
Millers showed no inclination to operate, and the business
done was extremely limited. Prices were without quot-
able change from last.
Foreign wheat was in moderate supply. The transactions
were chiefly in retail, and previous quotations were in most
instances supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request at
barely late rates.
English barley was in short supply, but the show of
foreign produce was good. The trade was very quiet, at
drooping prices.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates.
Oats were in good supply, the supply consisting chiefly
of foreign qualities. The demand was in a sluggish state,
on rather easier terms.
Beans were a dull inquiry, and prices had a drooping
tendency.
Peas met a slow sale on rather easier terms.
The demand for flour was in a sluggish state, at barely
late rates.

BOROUGH HOP.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The show of foreign stock on sale here to-day was
extensive and in fair average condition. The French beasts
were good, and some of them sold at from ss. to ss. 2d.
per 81bs.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were only moderate. Most breeds come to hand
of full average weight. The demand was heavy, at a de-
cline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 4d.
per Sibs. The general top figure was 5s 4d, but very su-
perior beasts realised 5s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., we received 500 Scots,
short-horns and crosses; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire 1,300 short-fr horns; from
other parts
stots
of England, 200 various breeds ; om Scotland 31
and crosses ; and from Ireland 40 oxen and heifers.
With English sheep we were but moderately supplied.
Most breeds, however, were tolerably prime. The de-
mand for them was in a sluggish state, on rather lower
terms. The best Downs and half-breds were disposed of
at 6s. per Sibs. Lambs were in fair average supply, and
f air request, at from 6s Bd. to Ss per 81bs, being late rates.
The show of calves being extensive, the veal trade was
heavy, at 4d per Sibs less money. Prices ranged from
4s to Ss per 81bs.
There was very little business done in pigs, at last
week's currencies. The top price was 5s per Blbs.

• The accounts from the plantations are much more
favourable, and the demand for all kinds of hops rules
heavy, at barely late rates. Last week's imports were 78
bales from Boulogne, 12 from Hamburg, 23 from St. Peters-
burg, and 55 pockets from Jersey.

Moderate supplies of potatoes are on sale. On the whole

terdam.
