MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was rather more firmness in the wheat trade in
most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices
were well supported. Barley movedoff readily, at an advance
of from is to 2s per quarter, and all other articles of grain
had an upward tendency.
The lai-e3t advices from New York bring a firmer de-
mand for wheat and flour. A check has at length been
given to the upward movement in the French markets.
In the lower Baltic ports wheat is selling at very high
rates.

The arrivals of English wheat up to our market last week
were steadily on the increase. From abroad we received
8,530 quarters of wheat, 20,421 oats, 5 rye, 1,129 beans,
150 peas, 51 tares, 2,410 linseed, 2,914 rapeseed, 238 sundry
seeds, 2,739 sacks and 5,343 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our markets today the arrivals of English
wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were moderate,
and chiefly composed of the new crop in fair condition-
The show of samples, from a good clearance being effected
on Friday, was by no means extensive. On the whole
the attendance of millers was good, and the demand for
most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at
prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last.
There was scarcely any old wheat on sale, and the stocks
appear to be almost wholly exhausted.

The show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary,
was but moderate. There was very little inquiry for this
article, either for home consumption or export. Holders,
however, were very firm, and in the few sales effected last
week's prices were well supported. Over 8,000 quarters
were re-exported last week, chiefly to France.
Floating cargoes were firm, but not dearer.
The few samples of barley in the market changed hands
at very full prices.
The malt trade was very firm at the extreme rates of
last week.

The supply of foreign oats being on the increase the oat
trade was less active, yet wa have no change to notice in
the quotations.

Beans moved off freely at very full prices.
There was a good inquiry for peas, at extreme rates.
The flour trade was by no means active on former
terms.

Owing to the great demand for Spanish stock which has
of late sprung up for France, and the great advance in the
quotations abroad, no supplies aro expected to reach us
from Spain (luring the remainder of the year. Stock is
still unusually high in all parts of France.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock in to-
day's market, but its general quality was inferior.
Tho arrivals of stock from Ireland last week, direct by
sea, wore only 32 beasts. To-day there were on sale 160
beasts and 2,500 sheep, from Dublin and Cork, via, Liver-
pool. Their condition was first-rate.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were but moderate, and mostly in-
ferior. All breeds met a steady demand, at Friday's ad-
vance in the quotations of 2d per Subs. The best Scots
were worth quite 4s 10d per Slbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,600 short horns, and from other parts
of England 500 of various breeds. We had no fresh ar-
rivals from Scotland.

With sheep we were but moderately supplied, and we
observed no improvement in their general condition. All
breeds sold freely at 2d per 81bs above the currencies ob-
tained ou Monday last, and a good clearance was effected.
The best old Downs realised 5s 2d per 81bs.
_ . _

The veal trade was not quite so•brisk as on Friday, yet
the quotations were 2d per Sibs higher than on this day
se'nnight. The supply was moderate, and the top price
was 5s 2d per 81bs.
There was a good demand for pigs, the supply of which
was good, and the quotations had au upward tendency.
Per Sibs to sick the olfals.
