THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
very moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade gener-
ally ruled inactive, at about stationary prices: Spring
corn moved off slowly, and flour was much neglected,
though without material change in value.
Throughout the Continent the transactions in wheat and
flour for export have been unimportant. Advices from the
United States mention a further considerable fall in the
prices of breadstuffs.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very small. From abroad we received 45,542
quarters of wheat, 1,290 barley, 18,903 oats, 15 beans,
3,787 peas, 168 linseed, 4,304 oilseeds, 2,100 maize, 150
sundry seeds, 782 sacks, and 44,209 barrels of flour.
The show of wheat from Essex end Kent to this morn-
ing's market was small, and comprised but few samples in
fine condition. For these the demand ruled steady, and
prices were well supported ; but inferior qualities moved
off slowly, yet no change can be reported in their value,
compared with this day se'nnight.
Owing to the large importatioa, the supply of foreign
wheat was extensive. In good and fine samples a fair retail
business was transacted at full quotations ; but inferior
descriptions were somewhat neglected, yet prices were
fairly supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in very moderate request ;
nevertheless, the currencies ruled tolerably firm.
The demand for barley was much restricted, yet no
change took place in prices
Malt changed hands to a limited extent on former terms.
Good fresh oats were in fair request at full prices. In-
ferior kinds, the supply of which was tolerably large, sold
slowly at late rates.
There were very few English beans and peas on offer.
Foreign parcels were in moderate supply and slow request,
at previous currencies.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, owing to the
large arrival of American barrels, which for the must part
changed hands at late prices, but where sales were pressed
rather less money was accepted. The value of other kinds
ruled about stationary.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
A ful average supply of Foreign stock was on offer in
to-day's market, in but middling condition. Sales pro •
greased slowly, at about stationary prices.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up, this morning, were moderately good as to num-
ber, but deficient in quality. Prime Scots, crosses, and
shorthorns sold freely, on rather higher terms—a few of
the former having realised ss. 2d. per Sibs, but inferior
beasts were a dull inquiry, at last week's currency.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Nprthamptonshire comprise d 1,600 shorthorns,
other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland,
260 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 130 oxen and

heifers.
About an averagt supply of sheep was in the pens.
Downs and half-breds u-ere scarce, and in request, at ex-
treme rates; all other breeds, however, moved off slowly)
at late quotations. The best old downs were worth fully
ss. 4d. per 81bs.
We were fairly supplied with lambs. The best breeds
were taken off readily, and in some few instances, 6s. 4d.
per 81bs was realised for Down qualities. Inferior lambs
were heavy, at from ss. to ss. 4d. per Blbs.
The supply of calves was good, and the veal trade was
in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices.
There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, and the quo-
tations had only a drooping tendency.
