CORN EXULI&NGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat. All kinds met a dull sale, at
from 2s to 4s per qr less money. The barley trade was
heavy, at drooping currencies. Malt, cats, beans, peas,
and flour sold slowly on lower terms.
The continental markets have ruled dull for wheat and
all other articles, on rather easier terms. The latest ad-
vices from New York state that a very moderate business
was doing for shipment to England.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were 5,897 quarters of wheat, 5,946 oats, 1,454 beans,
436 tares, 8,568 linseed, 1,909 rapeseed, 29 mustard seed,
620 sundry seeds, 4,215 sacks and 351 barrels.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day was limited ; nevertheless, the show of
Friday's unsold samples—amounting to 1,600 quarters—
was tolerably good. The number of land carriage parcels
was small. As , the attendance of both town and country
millers was limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat
of home produce ruled excessively heavy, and some time
elapsed ero a single parcel changed hands. The quotations
were consequently very uncertain, yet they may be called
3s to fully 4s per qr lower than on this day so'nnight.
The supply of foreign wheat was but moderate ; yet all
kinds were very dull on sale, and the quotations may be
called 4s to 5s per quarter beneath the rates current en
this day week.

Barley—the show of which was by no means extensive—
moved off heavily, at from is to 2s per quarter less money.
Malt was offered at a considerable reduction in price
without finding buyers.

The oat trade was very dull, and the quotations gave
way is per quarter. The supply was but moderate.
We were fairly supplied with beans, the value of which
gave way is per quarter.
Peas changed hands at a reduction of is per quarter.
The flour trade was very dull, at a fall of from 3s to 5s
per 280 lbs.

There was a moderate supply of foreign stock here to-
day, but its quality was inferior. From our own grazing
districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were
seasonably good both as to number and quality. Although
the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade
was in a very sluggish state, at barely the decline in the
quotations reported on Monday last. The highest figure
for Scots was 4s 8d psr Sibs.

The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots and short-horns ;
from other parts of England 600 of various breeds ; and
from Scotland, chiefly per railway, 450 horned and polled
Scots.

There was rather a large supply of sheep in the market,
and most breeds came to hand in full average condition.
The mutton trade ruled very inactive, yet we have no
actual decline to notice in prices. The best old Downs
realised 5s per 81bs.
The show of calves boing very limited the veal trade was
brisk, and prices were on the advance. A very inferior
calf would have produced 5s to 6s per Slbs.
There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at last week's
quotations.
The arrivals of stock from Ireland last week, direct by
sea, were 32 beasts, 100 calves, and 54 pigs.
