CORN EXCHANGE.

Old wheats supported previous rates in most of the
country markets held on Saturday, but new qualities
ruled dull, at a decline of from Is. to 2s. per quarter.
There was a fair amount of business doing in spring corn
and flour, at full quotations.
Our advices from New York state that lar;e quantities
of grain and flour were in course of shipment to England.
The French markets are very brisk, and dearer. Those in
the Lower Baltic continue active.
Up to our market, last week, the receipts of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we received
5,450 quarters of wheat, 530 barley, 3,598 oats, 200 beaus,
18 peas, 37 tares, 4,092 linseed, 2,546 rapeseed, 52 sundry
seeds, and 812 sacks of flour.

The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market this morning, coastwise, was on the increase, and
we had an extensive arrival by land carriage. At least
four-fifths of the arrivals were of the present year's growth,
and in full average condition. In the early part of the
day the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state,
although there were several buyers in the market from
France. It continued heavy for some time, and prices
at length gave way from is to 2s per quarter, without
much progress being made in sales.
Thare was only a moderate show of foreign wheat. We
had a fair sale for most kinds, chiefly on Continental ac-
count, at full quotations ; but for home consumption very
little business was doing, on former terms. Floating
cargoes of grain were held at very full prices.
Scarcely any barley, either English or foreign, was on
show, and the whole was readily disposed of at very full
prices.
The malt trade was firm, and fine qualities were rather
dearer.
Oats, the supply of which was limited, sold to a fair
extent, at full quotations.
The few beans in the market were taken at fully previous
rates.
White peas were br;sk, and fully 2s dearer. Other
kinds supported last week's currency. We had a fair sale
for flour, and some Spanish sold for Fi loco at fair full
prices. The exports from London last week were nearly
7,000 sacks.

Tho prices of meat in France aro still unusually high,
notwithstanding that a considerable increase has taken
place in the importations of stock both from Spain and
Holland. In the latter country, production can scarcely
keep pace with the foreign demand.
There was a full averag,o supply of foreign stock here,

to-day, it middling condition.
The arrivals of stock from Ireland, last week, direct by
sea, were 141 beasts. To-day, there were on sale 311
beasts, and 1,500 sheep, together with 200 pigs from DT,-
lin and Cork, via Liverpool. Their general quality was
good.
From our own grazing distr'-cts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning -Nero tolerably good as to number,
but, very deficient in quality. From Scotland no stock
came fresh to hand. For most breeds we had a slow trade,
at Friday's decline in the quotations of 2d. per Sibs. The
top figure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs.
The receipts of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire, were 2,200 short horns, and from
other parts of England 500 of vari.us breeds. The re-
mainder of the supply was derived from Ireland and the
Continent.
Although there was a considerable falling off in the sup-
ply of sheep compared with Monday last, the mutton trade
was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no change
took place. The best old Downs realised 5s per Sibs.
Prime small calves sold steadily, at very fall prices.
Otherwise the veal trade was heavy, at barely late rates.
There was a fair demand for pigs, and last week's cur-
rency was well supported.

NEWOATE AND LEADENIIALL.
For the time of year these markets are tolerably well
supplied with each kind of meat, but its general quality is
infirm., The firmest beef, mutton, veal, and pork move off
steadily at full prices. Otherwise the trade is in a
sluggish state.
