MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY-

The demand for Wheat in the whole of the leading
country markets, held on Saturday, was tolerably active'
and, in some instances, prices advanced is per quarter'
Fine Barley realised the same amount of improvemool:
and the value of other kinds was well supported. Mai"
Oats, Beans, and Flour were quite as dear, but have cum'
manded very little attention.

Our letters from most of the Continental pods state
that all grain has moved off somewhat steadily, at full
quotations. In France, Flour has been offering c°
tower terms. The latest advices from the United Stateo
bring no alteration in prices.
The arrivals of English Grain up to our market last
week were on the increase. From abroad we receive'
32,428 quarters of Wheat, 2.230 Barley, 7,938 Ostil:
2,345 Beans, 278 Peas, 14,445 Linseed, 3,734 Rapesee
853 sundry Seeds, 1,984 sacks and 13,552 barrels 0`

Flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals °l'
Wheat from Essex and Kent, coastwise, were but mode"
rate, and in very middling condition. By land carriage
the receipts were tolerably good, and some of the parco°
were of full average weight. Notwithstanding that tb?,
stands exhibited an increased supply the demand for 61'
kinds of Wheat of home produce, owing, chiefly, to the;
small stocks held by the leading millers, ruled somewhl%
active at an advance in the prices of Monday last of 1'
per quarter, and a good clearance was effected.
There was more doing for forward delivery at el
above amount of improvement. The growers in genets
were not anxious sellers, although they hold heavy stoc10;
Notwithstanding that the quantity of foreign Wheli
was somewhat extensive, that grain was in improved re'
quest, and selected samples of white were held for more
money. Low and inferior parcels were unaltered.
Floating cargoes of Wheat off Falmouth were in at,
derate inquiry, at full prices. The arrivals from t""
Black Sea have increased.
We had a small supply of both English and fore}g}l
Barley. All kinds commanded a ready sale, at the eC
treme rates of last week.
No change took place in the value of Malt, which'
however, was freely supported.
Scarcely any English Oats were brought forwarAd.
and the supply of foreign was small. The trade rulv
steady, and the late improvement in prices was full'
supported.
The inquiry for Beans was firm, at late rates.
White Pea: were scarce, and is per quarter dearer}
but grey and maple were is lower.
A good business was doing in Flour, at extreme ea'
rencies.

To-day the supply of foreign stock on offer was egflc,
extensive, but its general quality was inferior. The?i,
rivals of Beasts fresh up from our own grazing distric„
were on the increase, and we observed a slight improl'l3`i
meat in their condition; nevertheless, it was by no Diel/40
prime. The attendance of both town and country bilY,`ej
being large, the demand for all breeds of Beasts ro`op
steady, at prices fully equal to those paid on Mono:o
last. A few prime Scots realized 4s, but the general !ye',
figure for Beef was 3s 10J per 81bs. From Lincolns,l3l d
Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we receive
2,600 short-horns; from other parts of England, 45",icl
various breeds; and, from Scotland, 20 horned and po' ief
Scots. With English Sheep we were but moderat;,
