CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of foreign wheat on offer was larger than
for some time past. All descriptions met a very dill in-
quiry, at 2s. per qr. beneath last week's currency.
Floating cargoes commanded very little attention, yet
there were no sellers on lower terms.

The show of barley was tolerably good, and the trade
was in a very sluggisk state. In some iastanoes prices
gave way le. per quarter.

Malt met a dull sale, at barely late rates.

We were very extensively sUpplied with foreign oats.
The trade was heavy, at is per qr. less money.
Beans, the show of which was good, were very dull, and
is. to 2s. por qr. cheaper.

The inquiry for peas washeavy, aid the quotations gave
way ls. to 2s. per quarter.

There was only a moderate sale for flour. In prices very
Ale change took place.

Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts fresh
up this morning from our own grazing districts were on
the increase, yet the supply of that description of stock
was by no morons extensive. Its quality, however, was
prime ; indeed, there were scarcely any inferior beasts in

the market. The at tendauce of buyers was tolerably good,
yet th• beef trade was in a sluggi*h state, at Friday's de-
cline, in the quotations of 21 par 8110. Tho highest figure
was 4s 101 per Sibs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,000 Scots and short horns; from other parts of
England, 40) of various breeds; and from Scotland, 300
horned and polled Scots.

For the time of the year about an average supply of
sheep was on offer, in good condition. Oa the whole the
mutton trado was firm, at prices fully equal to those ob-
tained on this day sa'nnight,.. The primest old Downs
we.e worth quite 53 per 81bs.

Calves—The supply of which was very limited—moved
off steadily, at full quotation., viz., from 4.8 d to 6s per
filbs.
The pork trade was rather heavy. In price., however,
no change took place.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
We have no arrivals of potatoes to report either from
the Continent or from Ireland. The receipts coastwise
anA by land•carrine are very moderate, and the demand
is steady, as follows :—Scotch Reds, 85s to lobs ;

Great inactivity prevailed in the demand for wheat in
most of the country markets held on Saturday. In prices,
however, no material change took place. The barley trade
ruled dull, at barely stationary figures. In other kinds of
oprrizr corn, as well as in flour, only a moderate business
was doing.

Mott of the Continental markets hare been rather dull

for wheat and other articles, and prices have been with dif-
ficulty supported. High rates for both wheat and flour con-
tinue to reach us from New York.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were again moderate. Prom abroad we received 24,789
qrs. of wheat, 3,515 barley, 32,572 oats, 3,098 heaps, 3,630
peas, 1,618 tares, 42 linseed, 90 suadry seeds, and 870
sacks of flour.

Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of
English wheat, coastwise, were considerably in excess of
the supply reported on this day se'nnlght, and wo had a
fair quantity by land carriage. The show of samples of
both red and white, especially of the former, were rather
extensive, owing to which, the increase in the imports from
abroad, and the moderato number of buyers in attendance,
the trade was in a depressed state, at a decline in the quo-
tations paid on Monday last of from 3s to 4s per qr. At
that decline much difficulty was experienced in effecting
sales.
