CORN.
The general tendency of the trade is towards improve-
ment.

From the country markets the reports come better,
quotations firm from fully late rates to is, and in some
cases 2s per qr. advance.

The floating trade in wheat is decidedly Ftronger with

more doing.
At Mark-lane this morning there was a fair supply of
English wheat, which was, however, held for is to 2s more
money than on Monday last, at which sales progressed
slowly.

Foreign wheat realised is advance on American and
some descriptions of Russian wheat. All other qualities
mained a tendency against buyers.

Foreign barbey is in good supply, and grinding descrip-
tions easier to buy. Fine malting remains firm.
Beans and Peas rule as dear, with a reduction of sale.
Maize, on the spot, firmer, and a large business doing
for future delivery, at former prices.
Malts of good quality, tho turn against buyers.
Linseed dull.

Flour in moderate request, and country marks the turn
dearer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was an altered aspect of the trade this morning.
Supplies of the principal descriptions of stock were per-
ceptibly increased. In the dead markets quotations came
lower owing to the large arrivals of both home and foreign
killed meat. The tone was consequently dull, with lower
prices for all denominations of live stock.
Of beasts there were 5,740, including 82 Scotch, 305
Irish, 2,147 Eogl!sh, and the remainder foreign. Really
prime bullocks wore scarce, and could hardly be bought
cheaper, but in the general trade prices were fully 2d per
stone lower,

With sheep and lambs the market was also well fur-
nished, the number being 25,320, the whole English fed.
Trade was languid, and lower rates were taken.
Veal was also purchased under the terms of last week.
226 calves to hand.

The fresh pork was not so good. 310 pigs arrived.
Quotations—Beef, 3s 4d to 5s 4d ; mutton, as 4d to
5s 6d ; veal, 3s to 5s 2d ; pork, as 4d to 5s 10d per stone
of 8 lbs, sinking the offal.
