MARKETS.---This Day.

MARK LANE.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day was very quiet. Dry samples, being scarce, changed
hands at full prices, but damp produce commanded very
little attention. Good and fine malting barley sold steadily
at quite late rates ; otherwise the spring corn trade was
quiet on former terms. In flour about an average business
was transacted at late prices.
On the continent the wheat trade is very quiet at about
previous quotations. Oats are firm and in request for ex-
port, but other articles are a slow sale. At New York the
trade for wheat and flour is firmer, the result of an increased
demand for the Southern States.
The arrival of English grain, &c., up to our market last
week were but moderate. The imports from abroad con-
s:sted of 13,200 quarters of wheat, 5,810 barley, 17,393 oats,
2,028 rye,. 1,520 beans, 254 tare; 19,090 linseed, 38,552
rapeseed, 13,421 maze, 3,754 sacks, and 1,866 barrels of
flour. _ _ _ _

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate, the bulk of the pro-
duce being in bad condition. The few dry samples on the
stands changed hands at the prices of Monday last ; • but
for damp produce there were few buyers, and sales in con-
sequence were with difficulty concluded, at irregular prices.
At the close of the market a considerable proportion of the
supply was left undispased of.
A fair average supply of foreign wheat was on offer.
There was a steady demand for dry Gherke wheats, and
such commanded full prices. For other descriptions the
trade was quiet, but without leading to any quotable change
from Monday last. _ .

Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate reques t
at late rates.

There was a falling off in the supply of English barley,
the quantity on the stands being very moderate. The trade
in consequence, though quiet, was somewhat more active,
and prices ruled firm. For grinding and distilling barley
there was a fair demand at full quotations.
About an average business was transacted in malt at
late rates.

The market was moderately supplied with oats. In
most descriptions a fair average business was transacted at
last Monday's currency.
There was a good supply of beans on the stands. The
trade was dull, and in some instances prices declined to the
extent of is per quarter.

Peas, the supply of which was but moderate, sold slowly
at late rates.

Most descriptions of flour were in moderate demand at
previous quotations.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The show of foreign stock on offer here to-day was
rather extensive for the time of year; but its general con-
dition was very middling. The demand was heavy and
the quotations had a drooping tendency.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, as well as from Scotland, were considerably on
the increase, and in prime condition. All breeds moved off
heavily, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, and
a total clearance was not effected. Prime Scots and crosses
sold at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs. The supply from
Ireland was very moderate.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots, shore horns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 1,000 ♦arious breeds; from Scotland,
960 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 200 oxen and
heifers.

The supply of English sheep was only moderate. The
quality of each breed, however, was prime. The mutton
trade was very inactive, and last week's prices were barely
supported. The best Downs and half-breds in the wool
sold at Gs 4d to 6s 8d; out of wool, 5s 2d to os 4d per Blbs.
There were a few lambs on offer; they realised fully
8s per Blbs.
Calves were in short supply and sluggish request, at
barely late rates.
The demand for pigs was heavy, on rather lower terms.
Per 81b to sink the offal.

The total imports of foreign stock into London, last week,
amounted to 6,816 head. In the corresponding week in
1865, we received 5,127 ; in 1864, 5,173 ; in 1863,
2,458; in 1862, 837 ; and in 1861, 3,691.
