MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The demand for wheat in most of tha country markets
held on Saturday was in a very sluggish state, yet no mate-
rial change took place in the quotations. Barley and most
other spring corn, including flour, met an inactive inquiry.
Advices from New York, to the 16th inst., state that
flour had declined 121 to 25 cents per barrel, and that grain
was drooping in price. The continental markets continue
firm.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad we received 35,604
quarters of wheat, 12,057 barley, 40,733 oats, 6,790 beans,
1,049 peas, 1,262 tares, 15,383 linseed, 3,169 rapeseed, 777
sundry seeds, 2,700 sacks and 25 barrels of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market, this morning, coastwise, was very moderate, and
the arrivals by land carriage were again small. Notwith-
standing that the show of samples was rather limited, the
demand for all kinds of wheat, of home prodice, arising
chiefli from several large cargoes of foreign having gone
direct into millers' hands, was very inactive, and some
time elapsed ere any business took place. When sales
took place prices were rather easier than on this day so'n-
night, the decline being in some instances about I.s. per
quarter. . . _

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, but there
was a deficiency of really fine samples. A very limited
business was transacted in all descriptions, yet we have
no change to notice in the quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were rather neglected.

The supply of barley was considerably larger than on
this day se'nnight, yet the trade ruled steady, and prices
were well supported.
There was a moderate sale for malt at last week's quota-
tions.

The supply of oats was good, yet all kinds were in fair
request, at full prices.
_ _

We had a moderate inquiry for beans on former terms.
Peas changed hands slowly at late rates.
The flour trade was dull, yet the quotations were well
maintained.

There, was rather a large supply of foreign beasts in to•
day's rrLE.rket ; but the show of foreign sheep was limited.
The wrivals of beasts fresh up this morning from our
owu gr. &zing districts were seasonably extensivo, and in
excellel xt condition. As the attendance of buyers was
very m orlerato, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in
the qw ot:Ltions obtained on Monday last of 2d. per. Sibs.
A few vcry superior lots realised 4s. 6d. per Sibs. ; but the
general op figure for beef vas 4s. 4d. per Sibs.

England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 700

The sh ow of sheep was tolerably good as to number, but
the weig ht and condition of all breeds were inferior. For
all kinds of sheep, however, no change took place.

deficient in quality—sold slowly, at last week's currency.
