MARKETS.---This Day.

MARK LAN/;.

The country markets held on Saturday wore active for
swheat, at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. All kinds of
pring corn commanded very full prices, with only limited
supplies on offer.
On the continent wheat is still rising in price. The de-
mand for export has increased. Barley and most other
kinds of produce have realised extreme rates. The Ame-
rican markets come very high.
The imports of foreign and colonial grain, &c., into Lon-
don, last week were-2:1,362 quarters of wheat, 5,121
barley, 30,612 oats, 5,642 linseed, 9,291 rape-seed, 2,951
maize, 181 sundries, and 53 sacks and 2,759 barrels of
flour.

The supply of English wheat on sale in our market to-
day was very moderate. For both red and white qualities
the demand was active, and a clearance of the stands was
effected, at au advance iu the quotations compared with
Monday last of 3s par qr. The condition of the samples
was tolerably good.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was tolerably ex-
tensive—moved off freely, at quite 2s per qr above the rates
current on this day serf-night.
Fine barley was scarce, and in request, at extreme
rates. Grinding and distilling sorts sold at irregular quo-
tations.

The malt trade was steady, at previous currencies.
Good sound oats were Gd per quarter dearer. Inferior
parcels were held firmly, on former terms.
Beans commanded very little attention. Prices, however,
were supported.

Tho sale for peas was inactive, at late rates.
There was an improved demand for flour, and prices had
au upward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were dearer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale

this morning. The trade was heavy in the extreme, and
the quotations declined fully 4d per 81bs. The quality of
both beasts and sheep was tolerably good.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were on the increase, and in fair condition. The
unfavourable state of the weather compelled buyers to
operate cautiously. All breeds of beasts, therefore, moved
off heavily, at 4d per Bibs less money. The top figure was
58 per 81bs. The supply front Ireland was limited, and
there were no arrivals from Scotland.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received about 1,500 short horns, &c., from other
parts of England, 600 various breeds, and from Ireland,
100 oxen and heifers. _ _ _

Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only
moderate all breeds met a heavy sale, at a decline in the
quotations of fully 4d per 81bs. The best Downs and half-
breds sold at 5s 8d to 6s per 81bs.
The show of calves was tolerably good, and sales pro-
gressed slowly at a decline of 4d per 81bs. The highest
price was 5s 2d per 81bs. •
We were extensively supplied with pigs, which moved
off heavily. Prices declined 2d to 4d per 81bs. Top
price 5s per 81bs.
• Per 81b to sink the offal.
