MARKET INEWS.—(rhis Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The business doing in wheat in most of the country
markets, held on Saturday, was small, yet prices were de-
cidedly firmer than in the early part of the week. Barley
and most other kinds of spring corn, including flour,
moved off slowly, and prices were barely supported.
In the near Continental ports very little business hal
been transacted in grain on English account. From
America we learn that large quantities of grain and flour
were in progress of shipment.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were but moderate. From abroad the imports were
2,695 quarters of wheat, 185 barley, 20,341 oats, 130 beans,
1,655 peas, 735 tares, 1,057 linseed, 3,353 rapeseed, 15
mustard seed, 856 sundry seeds, 400 sacks, and 10,117
barrels of flour.

The supply of English tritest received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was mode-
rate, but the general quality of the samples exhibited as
improvement over Monday last. For all kinds we expe-
rienced a firm demand, at prices fully equal to those
realised on Monday last.

With foreign wheat we were' rather scantily supplied.
Although the amount of business doing in all kinds was
limited, importers were firm, and prices were supported.
Fine barley sold briskly, and, in some instances, the
quotations were the turn higher. All other qualities were
quite as dear as last week. Malt, the supply of which was
moderate, moved off steadily, at full quotations.
The supply of foreign oats was good—of other kinds li-
mited selected samples changed hands steadily at full
prices; but low and inferior samples were a slow inquiry.
With beans we were scantily supplied. The demand,
however, was by no means active on former terms.
The sale for peas was steady on former terms.
There was a fair sale for flour at full quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain sold to a fair extent on former
terms.

The arrivals of stock from Ireland last week, direct by
sea, were 32 beasts and 141 pigs. We understand that very
large supplies, in good saleable condition, will be forwarded
to Liverpool this month from Cork and Dublin.
The show of Irish stock to-day was 1,000 sheep and 400
beasts, all in excellent condition. With foreign stock we
were fairly supplied as to number for the time of year.
The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
were again very moderate, and mostly in middling condi-
tion. As the attendance of buyers was good, the beef
trade ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those realised
on Monday last, the best Scots being worth 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,700 short-horns ; from other parts of
England 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland 100
Scots.

Thera was a decided increase in the supply of sheep com-
pared with Monday last, and the quality of most breeds
exhibited a considerable improvement. The mutton trade
was therefore heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d
per Bibs.
We were very scantily supplied with calves, which sold
briskly at an advance in the quotations paid on Friday last
of from 6d to 8d per Elba. The best calves sold at 5s 4d
per Slbs.
There was only a limited demand for pigs, at last week's
quotations. The supply was rather limited.
