MARKETS—(t his Day.)

CORN.
The trade in general is dull with less firmness in prices,
but without any serious depression.

From the principal country markets tho reports to hand
this morning quote the prices of wheat is in favour of
buyers, with a flagging trade.
Tho telegrams from continental export markets do not
quote much change in prices, but there is a pause in
transactions.

""At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was mode-
rate, and the trade dull.

The wheat market opened with light supplies of Eng-
lish, but a fair show of foreign ; buyers were cautious, and
English wheats, except of the primost qualities were
easier. On the foreign stands Russian samples were in
some cases purchased at is. decline. In other imports
there was very little doing, holders generally requiring
late rates.

The floating cargoes of wheat off the coast have been
worked down to some five-and-twenty, and there is now
less pressure to sell, but quotations stand is to 2s lower
on the week.

There were fair supplies of English flour on sale, for
which the demand was quiet and rates the turn easier.
Foreign flour being only is moderate supply, was not
pressed for sale on lower terms.

Malt remained without material change in value, but
with a dull trade.

Barley met only a slow demand, and prices were rather
irregular.

Beans are generally the turn easier to buy, with in-
creased supplies of foreign, but a fair demand.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was not a large supply of fat stock on sale to-day,
but their condition was good, and the more favourable
accounts from the head markets lent some support to
prices thereof ; except for mutton, the tendency was down-

°wards.
Of beasts there were 381 from Scotland, 2,079 from the
various English grazing grounds, 110 from Ireland, and
920 from abroad.

The beef trade was very sluggish, and prices, although
not quoted lower, tended in favour of buyers.
Of sheep the supplies included 1,300 from the Conti-
nent.

The demand for prime sizeable sheep was brisk, and
advanced rates paid. Large coarse breeds sold strong, but
wore quite as dear.

Of calves the proportion of foreign was 92. The veal
market was heavy and quotations were depressed.
There was a moderate demand for pork. Thirty foreign
pigs came to hand. Total at market—Beasts 3,390, calves
95, sheep 16,850, pigs 410. Quotations, per stone of 81b,
sinking offal—Beef, 3s to 4s 101 b; veal, 3s 4d to 5s 8d;
mutton, 3s 4d to 5s 4d; pork, 3s to 4s.

TALLOW.
The market is quiet, but steady, Y. C., 42s 6,1 ; on tho
spot, 42s 9d; April to June, 43s 9d; last three months,
445. Stock this day, 30,012 casks; delivered last week,
1,880 sacks ; arrived last week, 10 casks.
FOREIGN AND COLONIAL PRODUCE.

In the colonial produce markets there is very little pass-
ing, but rates for sugar, coffee, rice, and spices are main-
tained.

The metal trade is firm, with a good inquiry for tea and
