MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, and the demand ruled
inactive. Inferior qualities wero lower to purchase.
There was only little doing in barley, on former terms.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour supported previous rates.

Thelateskaccouuts from New York state that considerable
excitement prevailed in the trade, owing to the large pur-
chases for shipment to England and France. The conti-
nental markets are devoid of animation.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of produce were
very limited. From abroad we received 5,744 quarters of
wheat, 1,358 oats, 12 beans, 127 tares, 51 linseed, 78 rape.
seed, 897 sundry seeds, and 4,997 barrels of flour.

Coastwise and by land carriage a moderate supply of
English wheat, in fair average condition, was received first
up to our market this morning. Although the stands
were by no means extensively supplied with samples of
either red or white, the demand for all kinds, owing to the
limited attendance of large millers, was in a very sluggish
state. Selected samples were costly taken at is per
quarter beneath the prices of Monday last; and the value
of low qualities gave way 2s per quarter.
The supply of foreign wheat was small, but there was
some good American qualities on show. The business doing
was wholly in retail, yet we have no change to notice in

prices.
There was less inquiry for floating cargoes. The quota-
tions, however, were firmly supported.
The few samples of fine barley in the market found
buyers at full quotations. Damp and inferior qualities
were is per quarter lower than oa this day se'nnight.
We had a moderate inquiry for malt, at full currencies.
Old oats were scarce, and held at fully late rates ; but
new qualities ruled dull, at 6d per quarter less money.
There was a fair demand for beans, on former terms.
Peas moved off steadily, at full quotations.
The flour trade was far from active, yet last Monday's
prices were well supported.

The receipts of stook for our maiket, last week, direct
front Ireland, were 82 beasts. Fresh up to-day, via Liver-
pool, we received 340 beasts and 800 sleep is full average
coalition.

Owing to the late gale the show of foreign stock this
morning was comparatively small, and in miserable condi-
tion. The losses at sea last week were over 200 beasts
and 600 sheep, most of which were thrown overboard on
Thursday morning.

From oar own districts the arrivals of beasts were very
moderate, and we observed no improvement in their con-
dition. Tho beef trade was somewhat firmer than on Mon-
day last, and the primest beef realised 2d per 81bs. more
money, the top figure being 5s per Blbs.
The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire were 1,900 short horns, and from other
parts of England 400 of various breeds.
The show of sheep was very moderate, and very deficient
is quality. From their great scarcity the primest Downs
and half.breds were rather dearer than on this day se'nnight,
with a good demand. The general top figure was ss, but,
in some instances, 5s 2d per Sibs was realised. Inferior
sheep moved off slowly, at last week's currency.
We were rather scantily supplied with calves, and the
veal trade ruled steady at last Monday's quotations, or 2d
per 81bs. above Friday's prices. The top quotation was
5s per 81bs.

Pigs were in moderate supply and ready requeat, At
!ally late rates.
