MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were but mode-
rately supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all kinds
was in a sluggish state, and in some instances prices were
rather drooping. In barley only a limited business was
doing, on former terms. All other articles were dull, but
not cheaper.
Nearly the whole of the Continental markets continue
dull for wheat, on rather easier terms. The latest advices
from New York state that the downward movement in the
value of produce had been checked.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received 23,853
quarters of wheat, 15,168 barley, 35,333 oats, 4,815 beans,
1,028 peas, 65 tares, 4,972 linseed, 2,818 rapeseed, 10 mus-
tard seed, 1,871 sundry seeds, and 2,455 sacks of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day,
coastwise, was very limited, especially from Kent. By
land carriage the receipts were small, and the show of
samples was trifling. Owing to the favourable change in
the weather for the growing crops, the cheering advices at
hand to-day respecting the general appearance of the
wheats, and the imports of foreign grain, the demand for
:,11 kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and, in
some inshnces prices were is per quarter lower than on
Monday last.

The supply of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary,
was rather large. All descriptions met a very dull inquiry,
yet in the few sales effected last Monday's currency was
mostly supported.
We had a dull inquiry for floating cargoes of grain,
which were rather lower to purchase.

The total supply of barley was rather large, and the trade
ruled heavy, at prices rather in favour of buyers.
M'ilt was in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at
last week's quotations.

The supply of foreign oats being very extensive, the oat
trade was dull, and prices were quite 6d per quarter lower
than on this day se'nnight.

Thero was very little inquiry for beans, at last week's
quotations.
Peas ruled heavy at almost nominal quotations.
The flour trade was dull, and country samples were con-
sidered rather easier to buy.

. The show of foreign stock in to-day's market
was but
moderate, and in very middling condition.
From our own grazing districts the receipts ot.
:tws
fresh up this morning were very limited, and of ratt,,,b,,,ea,
quality. The attendance of both town and conntry-rAt_
chers was good, and the beef trade ruled brisk, at a fu th.,
advance in the quotations of 2s per 8 lbs. The pritn•it
lots were worth fully 5s 4d per Blbs, and a good clearance
was effected. The arrivals from Lincolnshire and Leices-
tershire amounted to 800 short horns, from Norfolk and
Suffolk 900 Scots and home breds, from other parts of
England 400 of various breeds, and from Scotland 140
horned and polled Scots.
. .

The show of sheep was moderate as to number, but very
deficient in quality. Prime Downs and half-breds realised
full prices, with a steady demand. In other breeds only a
limited business was doing, and, in some instances, the
quotations were 2d per 81ba lower than on this day se'nnight.
Lambs were in fair average supply and sluggish request,
and inferior breeds were rather cheaper.
Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the
veal trade ruled heavy, at last Monday's currency.
We were fairly supplied with pigs, which sold slowly,
at barely stationary prices.
