MARKET NEWS.-(l HISS` DAY.)

i CORN EXCHANGE.
The amount of business doing in wheat in most of the
provincial markets held on Saturday was rather limited.
In prices, however, very little change took place. There
was a good sale for barley, at full quotations; but most
other articles met a dull inquiry.
Advices from New York to the 13th inst. state that the
demand for bread stuffs was inactive, and that prices had
a downward tendency. • The continental markets oontinue
dull.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market, last week. From abroad, the imports
were 33,654 quarters of wheat, 6,827 barley, 37,332 oats,
4,570 beans, 604 peas, 5 linseed, no sundry seeds, and
1,550 sacks of flour.
The fresh arrivals of English wheat up to our market
to-day were moderate for the time of year, and the show
of samples of both red and white was seasonably good.
The attendance of buyers was far from extensive, and the
demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was far
from active ; nevertheless a fair amount of business was
transacted at last Monday's quotations. The general con-
dition of the samples was good.
We were well supplied with nearly all descriptions of
foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary. Good heavy
samples sold to a moderate extent at full quotations. In
lo w and damp parcels only a limited business was transacted,
yet we have no notice to change in prices.
All floating cargoes were steady, and in the sales ef-
fected full prices were realised.
Tho show of both English and foreign barley was but
moderate. On the whole, the barley trade ruled firm, and
last week's quotations were readily supported.
Malt—the supply of which was moderate—sold slowly
on former terms.
1 The imports of foreign oats having been very extensive,
the oat trade ruled dull, and some low qualities changed
hands at 6d per quarter less money compared with Mon-
day last.
Beans, owing to the steady influx from Egypt, were
dull, and prices were the turn lower.
In peas very little was doing, at barely stationary prices.
We had a moderate sale for flour, at last week's currency.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock as
to number, but the condition of all breeds was inferior.
The fresh arrivals of beasts from our own grazing dis-
tricts were tolerably good, and of more than average quality;
indeed there were very few inferior home-fed beasts on
sale. Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was
rather extensive, the beef trade ruled very inactive, at a
decline •in the prices quoted on this day se'nnight of from
4d to 6d per 81bs. The highest figure for Scots was Is 6,1
per Slbs.
For Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,400 Scots and short-horns; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 550
horned and polled Scots.
There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep.
Although the mutton trade was rather steady, Friday's
decline in price of 4d per Sibs was not recovered ; hence
the top figure for the best old Dawns was 5s per 81bs.
Lambs, the show of which was tolerably extensive,
moved off slowly at 4d per Blbs beneath last Monday's
currency. The highest price was 6s 4d per 81bs.
We wore well supplied with calves, which ruled dull,
at from 2d to 4d per Sibs. beneath the prices of Monday
last.

The sale for pigs was heavy, at barely late rates.
