MARKET YEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were very moderate, and the
trade ruled steady, on rather higher terms. All spring
corn, including flour, sold to a fair extent, at full quota-

tions.
The latest advices from New York state that flour was
deady, at full prices. Nearly the whole of the continental
markets have been excited, and the quotations have been
on the advance.

Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. The imports of foreign were
6,148 qrs. cf wheat, 477 barley, 16,935 oats, 932 beans,
107 peas, 200 linseed, 119 sundry seeds, 2,182 sacks and
2,172 brls of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day was limited, and chiefly composed of the
now crop in fine condition. The show of samples being
small, and as some fine English wheats were taken for
shipment to France, the demand ruled brisk, at an advance
in the quotations paid on this day se'nnight of from is to
2s per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected.
The accounts at hand to-day from the leading grain dis-
tricts state that the wheat crop is not proving so large as
was at one time anticipated.
The show of foreign wheat was vary moderate, especially
of fresh qualities. Notwithstanding that the amount of
business doing in most kinds was by no means extensive,
importers were very firm, and, in some instances, they
succeeded in realising an advance of from is to 2s per
quarter. Floating cargoes were in improved request, and
rather dearer.

The supply of barley was trifling, and the trade was
firm, at fully last week's currency.
We had a better inquiry for malt, at full quotations.

Good sound oats were very scarce, and at 6d. per qr.
dearer. The value of low and damp qualities was sup-
ported.

Beans changed hands steadily, at full prices, and the
same may be said of peas.
The flour trade ruled steady, at fully the late improve-
ment in value.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock in
to-day's market, and its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts .of beasts
put up were but moderato. The few prime breeds in the
market were in steady request, at prices fully equal to
those of Monday last—the best Scots being worth 5s 4d
per 81bs. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish
state, at, in some instances, a decline in the quotations of
2d per 81bs.
The receipts of beasts from Li icolnshi re, Leicestershire,
&c., amounted to 1,600 short-horns; from other partsiof
England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 40
Scots.

We were but moderately supplied with all breeds of
sheep for this time of year, On the whole the mutton
trade was firm, and last week's currency was well sup-
ported.
The show of lambs was tolerably good, and the lamb
trade was heavy, at barely the late decline in value.
Calves were in short supply, and steady request, at full
quotations. The best qualities of veal realised 5s 4d per
81bs.
The pork trade was firm, at full prices.
