CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Slturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled
• •

very inactive, and the quotations had a downward ten-
dency. Barley was held at full prices, but the business
doing in it was trifling. All other grain moved off
heavily.
Advices from New York to the 30th ult. state that
prices of most articles of grain were rather drooping,
owing to the increased supplies of wheat from Canada.
The continental markets have been less active.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad, we received
23,581 quarters of wheat, 4,561 barley, 26,855 oats, 6,885
beans, 215 peas, 7 tares, 587 linseed, 75 sundry seeds, and
2,527 sacks of flour.

Coastwise, and by land carriage, the arrivals of En lish
wheat fresh up to our market this morning were very mo.
derate ; yet, as there were from 1,200 to 1,500 quarters of
last Monday's Essex supply on offer, the show of samples
was rather on the increase. As the attendance of buyers
was small, as the advices from nearly all parts of the king-
dom are very favourable respecting the progress of the
crops, and as the weather is remarkably fine, the demand
for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at a
decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from
is to 2s per quarter.

There was a fair show of foreign wheat in fair condition,
but the finest qualities were very dull in sale, and damp
parcels were easier to purchase.

Floating cargoes were firm, but the business doing in
these was very moderate.

The show of both English and foreign barley was by no
means extensive. The demand, however, ruled heavy at
barely late rates.

Malt changed hands slowly on former terms.
The arrivals of foreign oats being large, and the supply
of green food on the increase, the oat trade was dull, and,
in some instances, prices were rather improved.
We had a very dull inquiry fur beans. In prices, how-
ever, very little change took place.
_ _

In peas so little was doing that the quotations were s'

most nominal.

The flour trade was heavy, on former terms.

For the time of year the show of foreign stock was very
moderate, and in but middling condition.

There was a full average arrival of beasts fresh up to-day
from our own grazing districts, and the condition of most
breeds was good. The beef trade was in a very sluggish
state, at Friday's decline in the quotations, which ruled
4d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The highest figure
for Scots was 4s 8d per Blbs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,200 Scots and short horns; from other puts of
England 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland 500
horned and polled Scots.

We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with sheep, the general weight of which was small. There
was more doing in sheep than on Friday last, yet prices
were from 4d to 6d per Blbs lower than on this day se'n-
night. The primeat old Downs realised 5s 2d per 81bs.
We had a moderate demand for lambs at Friday's de-
cline. Prices ranged from 5s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs.

The veal trade was inactive, yet very little change took
place in the quotations. The top figure was 5s per 81bs.
Pigs met a dull inquiry on rather lower terms.

Much dissatisfaction has been expressed to-day in refer-
ence to the removal of thj trade of this market to. Copen-
hagen-fields. It is assumed that this is the last day for
holding a market here, but as yet no official announcement
has been made to that effect. We suppose, however, as
the banquet will be held on Wednesday, that business
will be commenced in the new market on Friday next.
