THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

lhe leading country markets held on Saturday were very
moderately supplied with wheat, and the trado generally
hold steady, at about previous quotations. Malting barley
soil somewhat freely at extreme rates; and other articles
fully supported previous currencies.
Most of the Continental markets have been dull for
wheat, and prices had been with difficulty maintained.
Spring corn, however, continues very fair. In the United
States no change of importance has taken place in the quo-
tations.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small. The imports from abroad were 27,151 qrs. of
wheat, 5,798 barley, 33,334 oats, 56 beans, 1,260 peas, 1,040
linseed, 878 rapeseed, 1,430 maze, 533 sundry seeds, 841
sacks and 1,797 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of
English wheat were decidedly smalLbut the general quality
of the samples was very good. Although the demand both
for red and white qualities was far from active, the trade
must be considered firm, at the full prices of this day
se'nnight, to, in some instances, is per quarter improve-
ment.

The show of samples of foreign wheat was rather exten-
sive. Importers were firm in their demands, and last week's
currency was well supported.

In floating eirgoes of grain only a moderate business was
doing, yet the quotations ruled firm.
Malting barley moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
Grinding and distilling sorts were quite as dear as on Mon-
day last. The supply on offer was very moderato.
For malt we have to report a slow inquiry, on former
terms.

Good and fine oats were firm at full quotations, but in-
ferior parcels sold slowly at about previous rates.
The show of beans was small, and all qualities changed
hands at full prices.

Peas—the supply of -which was limited—met a steady
sale at full currencies.

The flour trade was steady, and prices wore well main-
tained.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET'.
The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market
was seasonably large, and in fair average condition.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland,
the receipts of beasts were somewhat extensive as to num-
ber, but deficient in quality. Prime Scots, crosses, short-
horns, &c., commanded a steady sale, at in some instances
an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, the best Scots
having realised 5s per Ms ; otherwise the beef trade was
in a sluggish state, on former terms.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor-
thamptonshire amounted to 2,700 short-horns, sc.; from
other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland,
28 Scots ; and from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers.
With sheep we were but moderately supplied, and their
quality was inferior. Prime Downs and half- breds com-
manded a steady sale, at an advance in the quotations of
2d per 81bs, and other breeds moved off freely, at full prices.
The best Downs were worth 6s 8d per 81bs.

Notwithstanding that the supply of calves was very
moderate, the veal trade was in a sluggish state, at last
week's currency. The top price was 5s per Blbs.

There was a good business doing pigs, the supply of
which was tolerably extensive, at full prices.
