ROSSINI'S LATEST COMPOSITIONS.--Under the
general title of " reches do Viellesse," Rossini has com-
pleted a series of pianoforte works, consisting of four
albums: —No. 1 for babies, No. 2 for grown-up children,
No. 3 for cottages, No. 4 for castles. These four albums
are followed by an " 011 a Podrida." The first two albums
contain six numbers each, the last two named twelve each,
and the 011 a Podrida nine pieces, among which are one
for violoncello, and one for horn, both with pianoforte
acccompaniment. The pieces are mostly of the extent of
about twelve pages, and rather of the elegant " salon"
manner. The titles are adapted to the form of the pieces,
and sometimes very funny ; for instance, " Prelude fugac6
—assez," " Prelude soit disaut dramatique," " Theme
moqueur et variations," " Prelude boiteux," " Prelude
convulsif," &c.—Musical World.

MARKETS.—This Day.

MARK LANE.
The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was very firm, and an average advance of is to 2s
per quarter took place in prices. The barley trade ruled
somewhat active, and the quotations had an upward ten-
dency. Oats, beans, and peas were steady, at full cur-
rencies. There was a fair demand for flour, at quite late
rates.

On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and prices aro
on the advance. Advices from Now York state that the
business doing in wheat and flour for export is very mu-

derate.

The supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was
very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good.
Owing to the absence of many Yorkshire buyers, and the
large importation of wheat from the Baltic, the trade was
decidedly quieter than on Monday last. Sales were con-
cluded much less freely, and the recent improvement in the
quotations was supported.
The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
There was a fair demand for most qt.alities, and prices
ruled firm.

Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request at full
currencies.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. Fine parcels
were very firm in price, but medium and inferior produce
moved off slowly at late rates.
There was a moderate demand for malt, at late rates.

The supply of oats on sale was moderately large. Gene-
rally speaking, the demand ruled quiet, but at full prices,
for all good and fine samples of produce.
Beans wore in fair demand, at late rates. The market
was but moderately supplied.
Peas changed hands to a fair extent, and prices ruled
firm.

The flour trade was firm, at late rates
Linseed and rapeseed were dull, and the quotations wero
somewhat easier.

The demand for other seeds ruled quiet, at late rates.
The Cape trade was firm, and prices had an upward
tendency.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a largo supply of foreign beasts here to-day,
yet the demand ruled steady, on higher terms. The show
of foreign sheep was moderate, of calves limited.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were moderately good, and in fair averag condi-
tion. The supply from Ireland was very limited ; but we
were without any receipts from Scotland. All breeds o
beasts 'commanded a steady sale, at an advance in the
quotations compared with Monday last of from 2d to 4d
per 81bs. The top price was ss. 4d. per Blbs.
From Lincolnshire, Le icestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we have received about 1,700 short horns, &c. ; from
other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; and from Ire-
land, 50 oxen and heifers.
The supply of sheep was limited, and the quality of most
breeds was only middling. All descriptions of sheep were
in good request owing to the favourable change in the
weather, and the upward movement in prices in the dead
markets at 2d to 4d per 81bs. advance in the currencies.
The best Downs and half-breds realised 6s to 68 4d per
81bs. _ _ _

There was a good demand fur calves, the show of which
was very moderate, on higher terms, viz., from 4s 4d to
5s 4d per Blbs.

money. Prime small porkers sold at 5s 2d per Blbs.
