CORN.

The general tendency of the trade continues in the
direction of increasing firmness.
From the country markets quotations are rather firmer,
and in some cases higher.

From abroad rates also came the turn against buyers.
At Mark-lane this morning there was a fair attendance
and a moderate inquiry for the several kinds of produce,
with light supplies and rather a strong tone about prices.

English wheat was held firmly, the better qualities, in
some cases, were rather dearer. •

Foreign wheat also well held, with an upward tendency
in the value of best samples.

Flour sold in retail without any material change in
value.

Barley, beans, and peas remain without much change
and firm.

Oats in steady request, and the turn dearer.
Linseed and rapeseed a slow sale, at late rates.
NEWUATE AND LEADENHALL.

POULTRY.—In the poultry trade there is not much change.
Really prime fowls are scarce and dear, while rough are
plentiful, and have to be cleared out at moderate rates.
Pigeons have slightly improved in price since the de-
cline in the early part of the week. We quote as
follows :—Fowls, coftimon, 2s 6d to 8s 6d ; Snrrek, 4s
to 7s; Irish, is to 9d to 28 ; gosling; 8s to 98 ; ducks, 4s
6d ; pigeons, 9d to 1s ; turkeys, 7s to 14s ; rabbit; tame,
is 6d ; wild, is to is 3d.

Wild Fowls in moderate supply and in fair demand.
Ducks 2s to 2s 3d, widgeon is 9d, teal is 6d, woodcocks 33
6d to 4s each.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

MEAT.—There is a demand for prime small mutton, and
also for small superior carcases, but fat, heavy sheep
are a dragging sale. Wo quote prime, 4s 2d to 4s 4d ;
middling, 3s to 3s 10d. The beef trade is dull, and
a prime sizeable Scot body would hardly exceed 4s,
at the same time there is very little rough meat
under 3s 4d per stone. Medium sorts sell at 38 8d slowly.
Prime small veal is scarce, and worth 5s to 5s 4d ; large,
4s Bd. Pork dull, at 3s 4d to 4s per stone of 81bs by the
carcase.
