THIS DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets, held on Saturday, were
but moderately supplied with wheat. As the growers
almost generally refused to sell except at an advance of is.
to 2s. per quarter, the transactions were much restricted.
Barley was a slow sale; but other produce was film in
price.

The French markets have shown rather more firmness,
and in America large quantities of wheat and flour continue
to be purchased for export, at extreme rates.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received 29,732
quarters of wheat ; 4,280 barley ; 8,502 oats ; 5,019 beans ;
3,047 linseed ; 8,102 rapeseed ; 501 sundry seeds ; 509 sacks
and 18,302 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of
English wheat were very moderate. Owing to the
nature of the American news, and to the consequent stop-
page of supplies should war break out, factors were very
firm in their demands, and both red and white qualities of
wheat were held at an advance compared with this day se'n-
night of 2s. per eptart er. Buyers,however, were disinclined
to operate except at last Monday's currency; consequently,
little progress was made with sales at the close of business.
The quotations may be considered the turn—perhaps, in
some instances, Is. per quarter—higher than Monday last.

American wheat was held at considerably enhanced rates,
and other descriptions of foreign were only obtainable by
submitting to an advance in prices. The amount of busi-
ness transacted was small, at, in some instances, a slight
improvement in the quotations.
The trade for floating cargoes of grain was firm, and the
currencies had an upward tendency.
With barley we were tolerably well supplied, and all
descriptions moved off heavily, at barely the late decline in
prices.

- Fine malt was in fair request at full quotations, but other
qualities met a slow sale on former terms.
Oats, the supply of which was very moierate, sold
steadily at full currencies. . .

Although the show of beans was less extensive than on
Monday last, the demand for them ruled inactive at that
day's quotations,

Peas moved off slowly at late rates. The supply on offer
was small.

The flour trade was very firs, and prices had an upward
tendency. American barrels espesially were held for en-
hanced rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET
Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
foreign stock, which moved off slowly on easier terms.
The arrivals of beasts 'fresh up from our own grazing
districts were seasonably good, both as to number and
quality, and those from Ireland and Scotland were in full
average condition. All breeds met a dull inquiry at a
decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of
2d per 81b. The top price for Scots was 4s 10d per 81b.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
we received 2,220 short horns, &c. ; from Norfolk, 150 Scots
and short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 various
breeds ; from Scotland, 300 Scots and crosses ; and from
Ireland, 800 oxen and heifers.

Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was limited,
the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at barely last
week's quotations. D .wns and best half-bred s sold at from
5s 4d to 5s 5d per 81b. The general quality of the sheep
was very middling.

We have to report a dull sale for calves at about stationary
prices—viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81b.
There was very little business doing in pigs at barely
late rates.
