METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Supplies of stock at market were large, and trade
heavy.

Of beasts there were 2,290 English, 380 Scotcb, 20 Irish,
and 1,320 foreign. The demand for beef was sluggish, and
prices lower except f or very prime.
Of sheep and lambs the proportion of foreign was 4,590.
Tho mutton trade was brisk, with higher prices. Lamb
also in better demand.

Of calves tho number of foreign was 154, and the gene.
ral demand dull.

Pork met a steady sale at late rates.

Quotations, per stone of 81bs, sinking offal :—Beef, 3s
41 to as ; mutton, 3s to 4s 10d ; veal, 3s 4d to 5s 6d ; pork,
38 to 4s Gd ; lamb, 4s 8d to 7s 2d.

CORN.

The tone of the trade continues sound and healthy,
pointing to higher rates for wheat. From Russian ports
advices report light stocks, and s►nall shipments, almost
entirely to France.

No Daritibiau port shipments have been pushed forward
but only a very small portion is for England, the bulk
being for Marseilles.

Tho provincial reports repoi t firm markets generally,
and in many ensas higher rates for wheat.

At Mark Lane the attnidance was moderat9 this morn-
ing, and although buyers acted with caution the tone was
firmer. Only small supplies of English wheat fresh up,
and full rates asked but not freely paid.'

Foreign well held, and although trade was quiet prices
were maintained.

Floating cargoes on the coast 32, and firmly held.
Those on passage also firm, with very small additions to
the list.
