THIS LAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat. For all kinds, the demand
ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Barley,
oats, beans, peas, and flour ruled very inactive, and the
quotations were in favour of buyers.
Threuxhout the Continent, the grain trade has been
very excited of late—prices have advanced considerably—
and large purchases of grain have been effected on English
account.

Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown
produce were only moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 18,905 quarters of wheat, 1,950 barley, 22,995
oats, 60 beans, 30 peas, 458 linseed, 5,490 rapeseed, 740
sundry seeds, 645 sacks and 1,385 barrels of flour.
The supply of wheat received fresh up, to-day, from
Kent, was moderately extensive—from Essex, by no
means large. The receipts by land carriage were only mo-
derate. The attendance of both town and country millers
was far from numerous, and the demand for all kinds of
wheat of home produce was heavy in the extreme; indeed,
so little business was transacted that it is difficult to quote
prices accurately. However, the quotations may be called
5s to 8s per quarter nominally lower than on Monday last.
There was a full average quantity of foreign wheat on
offer. All descriptions were very dull, and prices gave way
fully 3s per qr. The fall, however, may be considered a
nominal one. . .

The demand for floating cargoes off Falmouth has be-
come much.less active.

There was a steady demand for barley, owing to foreign
parcels being in request on account of the French Govern-
ment, at full quotations.

Fine malt was the turn dearer, and other kinds were firm
in price. . .
Good sound oats supported former terms; but inferior
kinds were quite is per quarter cheaper.
The few beans in the market were disposed of at full
quotations.

Peas moved off slowly ; nevertheless, prices were sup-
ported. .
The flour trade• was in a depressed state, and country
marks were is to •2s per sack cheaper. - Town-made was
nominal in price..

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
There was a fun average supply of foreign sheep on offer
in to-day's market; but the show of foreign beasts and
calves was.limited.

From our own. grazing districts, about an average time-
of-year supply of beasts came to hand.
.in fair condition.
Notwithstandingthat the attendance of buyers was tolerably
numerous,. the demand for nearly all breeds of beasts ruled
heavy, at. a decline in the currencies realised on Monday
last of 2d. per Ms.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, amounted to 2.100 Scots, short-horns and
crosses ; from other parts of England, 356 of various breeds ;
from -Scotland, .340 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland

were good. Themutton trade was in a depressed state, and
the quotations were 2d. per 81bs. lower.. .It must be under-
stood diatour prices now refer solely to sheep out of the
wool. -
Lambs, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly,
and prices .had A drooping tendency. About 550 lambs
came -to hand from the Isle of Wight. .
Calves .were in. short supply, and sluggish request, at
barely late rates. . .
We had. a dull sale for pigs, the prices of which were
barely supported. • •
The total imports of foreign stock into London last week
were 1,558 head.. In the corresponding week in 1858 we
received 1,344 ;..in 1857, 1,213; in 1856, 272; in 1855,
2,031; in 1854, 898 ; in 1853, 3,401; and in 1852,
