MARKET YEIVq.-(THIS .DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of the country marketslheld on Satur-
day were very moderately supplied with wheat, which
sold steaaly, and prices had an upward tendency. All
spring corn and flour were very firm, and mither dearer.

The latest accounts from New York state that flour wns
dull and cheaper. Most of the continentul markets are
excited, and prices are still advancing.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The principal imports from
abroad were 15,108 quarters of wheat, 12,477 barley,
51,446 oats, 25 beans, 1,812 peas, and 4,51?, sacks of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up from market, to-
day, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very mode-
rate scale, and chiefly composed of the mew crop. The
show of samples was small, and the demand for all kinds
ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Mon-
day last of from 2s to 3s p9r quarter, at which improve.
ment a good clearance was effected.

The supply of foreign wheat was very moderate, and the
trade ruled somewhat active, at 2s to 3s per quarter above
the rates current on this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes were quite 2s dearer.
Barley—the show of which was on the increase —ruled
steady, at very full prices.

Malt sold to a fair extent at extreme rates.
Although the supply of foreign oats was large, the oat
trade was tolerably firm, at last week's currency.
Beans were in short supply and good request, at extreme
rates.

The sale for peas was rather active, and the quotations
had an upward tendency. . _

We had a good demand for flour, at fully 23 to 33 per
sack more money.

To-day's market was rather extensively supplied with
foreign stock, but its general quality was inferior.
Compared with last week, there was a considerable in-
crease in the supply of home•fed beasts. Although the
attendance of butchers was tolerably good, the beef trade
ruled very dull, at a decline in the quotations of fully 4d.
per Blbs. The top figure for beef was 4s. 10d. per Blbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,900 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 40
Scots.

The supply of sheep was considerably in excess of Mon-
dly last, consequently all kinds moved off heavily, at a
fall in value of from 2d. to Id. per Sibs.

The lamb season is now over. The few lambs in the
market were very dull, at 2d. to 4d. per Blbs. less money.
Calves wore in most supply, and fair request, at full
quotations.

There was a moderate business doing in pigs, at last
week's currency.

NEWGA.TE AND LEADENTIALL.

These markets are seasonably well supplied with each
kind of meat. Prime beef, mutton, and veal are in good
request, at full prices. Otherwise, the demand is in a
very inactive state, at barely late rates.

BOROUGH HOP.

Picking is now becoming somewhat general, and the
quantity of hops is very large ; hence the duty is called
300,000/. About 100 pockets have arrived, and sold at
from 71. to Si. per cwt. Yearling and old hops are consi-
derably lower to purchase.
