CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very
moderate; consequently, the show of samples was small.
Although the demand for all kinds was by no means active,
factors—owing to the arrival of intelligence that the Rus-
sians have stopped the export of grain from Galatz—were
very firm in their demands. In some instances millers
were compelled to pay is per quarter more money for
pod qualities, and the value of other kinds was well sup-
ported.

There was a fair average show of foreign wheat ex.
granary as well as from ship-board. The amount of busi-
ness doing in most descriptions was far from extensive, yet
last week's currency was well supported.
We had some inquiry for floating cargoes for Belgium.
The show of barley was but moderate. Most descrip-
tions sold to a fair extent. In the quotations no change
took place.

The malt trade wee rather flat, on former terms.
The supply of foreign oats was large ; although a good
business was transacted in that grain, prices were barely
supported.

There was a moderate demand for beans, at very full
currencies.
Peas, the supply of which was limited, realised extreme
rates.

The flour trade was steady, but no change took place in
the quotations.

There was a very moderate show of foreign stock in to-
day's market, and its general quality was inferior.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
were rather limited, and there was a slight falling off in
their condition. From the fact that a demand has sprung
up for shipment to France—about 100 beasts having been
sold last week for that destination, and about 50 head this
morning—the beef trade ruled very brisk, at an advance
in the prices paid on Monday last of from 6d to 8d per
81bs. The best Scots sold readily at 5s per 81bs, and a good
clearance Was effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,700 Scots and short horns; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 500 Scots;
and from Ireland, by sea, 100 beasts.

We were but moderately supplied with sheep, in very
middling condition. The mutton trade was in a most
excited state, from the causes to which we have just
alluded, and the currencies were from 8d to 10d per 81bs
higher than on this day s'ennight. The best old Downs,
out of the wool, sold freely at fully 5s 6d per 81b9.
Lambs were in moderate supply and brisk, at 6d. per
81bs above the rates of
,Monday last. The top figure was
Vs 4d per 81bs.
We had a ready sale for calves, at 2d per 81bs more
money, and pigs moved off freely, at the same amount of
improvement.

There was a moderate business doing in wheat in most
of the country markets held on Saturday, yet scarcely any
change took place in the quotations. The barley trade
ruled inactive, on former terms. Other kinds of spring
corn, including flour, realised fall prices.
The latest advices from New York state that both
grain and flour were in improved request, and that the
latter article was somewhat dearer. Most of the Conti-
nental markets are firm, at enhanced quotations.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate. The imports from abroad were
34,697 qrs. of wheat, 3,305 barley, 38,659 oats, 4,524
beans, 1,036 pease, 53 tares, 5,340 linseed, 1,514 rapeseed,
72 mustard seed ; 56 sundry seeds, 2,811 sacks and 767
barrels of flour.
