BTATS OF THE CORN TRADE FOR THE
WEEK.

MARK LANZ, Friday Evening.-Netwithstandiag
that most of the leading markets of oonenmption have
hem fairly supplied with English wheat, the demand
for both red and white qualities has continued steedy,
and, in some instances, prises have further advanced Is
per quarter. Fine foreign samples have produced
rather more money ; but inferior kinds have commanded
very little attention. The inquiry for malting barley
has certainly improved; but grinding and distilling
sorts have moved off slowly, at about stationary pries..
On the whole, the malt trade has shown signs of im•
prevenient, at fully late rates. Good sound oats have
realised quite as meat money ; but low and damp
paresis have gone a shade lower. Both buns and peas
have sold readily on former terms, and the flour trade
may be considered somewhat active.
The French markets, almost generally, continue to
feel the offsets of the late heavy importations of wheat
and dour. Priors are still drooping, and scarcely any
bnaineu is doing on speculation. The outflow of food
from America is still very large, and the stocks of
wheat in the interior of the country are represented as
heavy for the time of year.
The Sootch market have shown rather more firmness
for wheat; nevertheless, very little change has taken
plau in the quotations. Barley and oats have moved
off readily, at very full prices, and other kinds of
produce have realised extreme currencies. The ship-
ments of grain bathe Smith have continued on • very
moderate scale.

FRIDAY NIGIIT.-The supply of English wheat at
Mark lane, to-day, was Iftly small ; nevertheless, all
duicriptimui were • dull inquiry, and sales could only
be effected by submitting to lower prices. Foreign
wheat was held at previous rates; but the amount of
business trunacted in it was much restricted. The
finest samples of barley were firm in value ; otherwise,
the trade was dull, at drooping currencies. Oats-the
supply of which was moderately extensive-moved off
slowly on former terms. Beans and peas were in
limited supply, and prices were fully maintained.
Flour changed hands to a limited extent, yet no change
took place in the quotatious, compared with Monday.
This week's imports amount to 28,240 quarters of
wheat ; 12.790 of barley; 18,480 oats ; and 14,390
barrels of dour.

AMERICAN GRAIN AND FLOUR MARKETS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—The or market wu firm,
with • good demand from the trade, and for some
descriptions oic.s s lightly improved. Wheat was
firmer at the opening, but, owing to firmness in freights
end large receipts, the market, though active, closed dull
and rather easier st Saturday's prices.
Ti.• demand for wheat at Alexandria, during the
week eliding November 4, was active, although leas
animation was Aservisble towards it, close. AR
descriptions, especially Beheireh wheats, realised late
rates. Runs and linseed were very firm.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
THURSDAY.— The Metropolitan market was fairly sups
plied on Thuraday with beasts u to number, but their
general qu day wee inferior. All breeds moved off
slowly, nevertheless, Mon,lay's prices were supported.
The show of cheep was only moderate, and the mutton
trade ruled inaetive at previous currencies. Tbe best
old downs coil at rie 8.1 pr sibs. Although very few
calves were on off, r, the veal trade was heavy, at 2d
per 81be leas moiler. Pigs were a dull inquiry, and
late rates were barely maintained. In mulch sows very
little was duilig.

NEWGITE AND LEADENHALL.
FRIDAY, Ni,vember 14.—The supplies of meat were
moderately extensive. On the whole the demand rules
steady, and loot scc k's prices are barely supported.
