MARKET

IS DAY.)

CORN EXUIIANGE.

Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur-
day were very moderately supplied with wheat, which
sold steadily, and pikes had an upward tendency. All
spring corn and flour were very firm, and rather dearer.
The latest accounts from New York state that flour was
dull and cheaper. Most of the continental 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 15,103 quarters of wheat, 18,477 barley,
51,41 G oats, 25 beans, 1,812 peas, and 4,512 sacks of flour.
The a•rrivals 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 new 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 per 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 2s to 3s 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 ins.
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-
day last, consequently all kinds moved off heavily, at a
fall in value of from 2d. to 4d. per 81bs.
The lamb season is now over. The few lambs in the
market were very dull, at 2d. to 4d. par 81bs. less money.
Calves were in most supply, and fair request, at full
quotations.

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