CORN EXCHANGE.

The demand for wheat in most of the 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 12i 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 tare; 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 produce, arising
chieflj 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 se'n-
night, the decline being in some instances about is. 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 market ; but the show of foreign sheep was limited.
The arrivals of beasts freoh up this morning from our
own grazing districts were seasonably extensive, and in
excellent condition. As the attendance of buyers was
very moderate, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in
the quotations obtained on Monday last of 2d. per Bibs.
A few very superior lots realised 41. 6d. per 81bs. ; but the
general top figure for beef was 4s. 4d. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,490 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 700
horned and polled Scots.
The show of sheep was tolerably good as to number, but
the weight and condition of all breeds were inferior. For
all kinds of sheep, however, no change took place.
Lambs—the supply of which was moderate, and very
deficient in quality—sold slowly, at last week's currency.
The veal trade was heavy and the quotations gave way
2d. per Sibs. The top figure was ss. 2d. per 81b.
The sale of pigs was in a very sluggish state, at last
week's quotations.
